Doctor Who

The Doctor, Dorium and others in “The Wedding of River Song”

Why Lake Silencio? Why Utah?

DDorium

It's a still point in time. Makes it easier to create a fixed point. And your death is a fixed point, Doctor. You can't run away from this.

[arrogantly] I've been running all my life, why should I stop?

DDorium

Because now you know what's at stake. Why your life must end.

Not today.

DDorium

What's the point in delaying? How long have you delayed already?!

Been knocking about. Bit of a farewell tour. Things to do, people to see. There's always more. I could invent a new colour, save the Dodo, join the Beatles. [On the phone] Hello, it's me! Get him, tell him we're going out and it's all on me except for the money and the driving! [To Dorium, boasting angrily] I have got a time machine, Dorium! It's all still going on! For me, it never stops! Liz the First is still waiting in a glade to elope with me! I could help Rose Tyler with her homework! I could go on all Jack's stag parties in one night!

DDorium

Time catches up with us all, Doctor!

Well, it has never laid a glove on me! [On the phone again] Hello?

NNurse

Doctor, I'm so sorry. We didn't know how to contact you. I'm afraid Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart passed away a few months ago. Doctor?

[Shocked] Yes, yes.

NNurse

It was very peaceful. Talked a lot about you, if that's any comfort. Always made us pour an extra brandy, in case you came 'round one of these days.

DDorium

Doctor? What's wrong?

Nothing, I... just...[hangs up the phone, sighs, and pulls out the blue envelopes from his pocket]...it's time. It's time.
