Quotes 

• Amy Pond : What if you were really old, and really kind and lonely, your whole race dead. What couldn't you do then? If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind, you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry.

• Amy Pond : In bed above we're deep asleep, while greater love lies further deep. This dream must end, this world must know. We all depend on the beast below.

• Amy Pond : You look human.

  The Doctor : No, you look Timelord. We came first.

• The Doctor : You couldn't have known how it would react.

  Amy Pond : I couldn't, but I've seen it before. Very old, and very kind and the very, very last, sound a bit familiar?

• Liz 10 : What are you doing?

  The Doctor : [Adjusting machinery]  The worst thing I'll ever do. I'm going to pass a massive electrical charge through the Star Whale's brain - should knock out its higher functions, leaving it a vegetable. The ship will still fly, but the whale won't feel it.

  Amy Pond : That'll be like killing it.

  The Doctor : Look, three options: One, I let the Star Whale continue, in unendurable agony for hundreds more years; Two, I kill everyone on this ship; Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can. And then, I... I find a new name, because I won't be The Doctor anymore.

  Liz 10 : There must be something we can do, there must be another way...

  The Doctor : Nobody talk to me. Nobody

  [violently slams hand down on console] 

  The Doctor : *HUMAN* has anything to say to me today!

• Amy Pond : I'm in the future. Like hundreds of years in the future. I've been dead for centuries.

  The Doctor : Oh, lovely, you're a cheery one aren't you?

• Amy Pond : What are you going to do?

  The Doctor : What I always do. Stay out of trouble... badly.

• Amy Pond : You "never interfere in the affairs of other peoples or planets," unless there's children crying.

• The Doctor : Say Weeeeeee!

  Amy Pond : Ahhhhhh!

• The Doctor : What's wrong with this picture?

  Amy Pond : Is it... the bicycles? Bit unusual on a spaceship, bicycles.

  The Doctor : Says the girl in the nighty.

  Amy Pond : Oh my God, I'm in my nighty!

• Mandy : How do you not know about this? Are you Scottish too?

  The Doctor : Oh, I'm way worse than Scottish, I can't even see the movie, won't play for me.

  Amy Pond : It played for me.

  The Doctor : The difference being the computer doesn't accept me as human.

  Amy Pond : Why not? You look human.

  The Doctor : No, you look Time-Lord, we came first.

  Amy Pond : So there are other Time-Lords yeah?

  The Doctor : No, there were, but there aren't. Just me now. Long story, it was a bad day, bad stuff happened and you know what I'd love to forget it all, every last minute of it, but I don't.

• Amy Pond : People phone you?

  The Doctor : Well, Its a phone box.

• Amy Pond : Oh, don't mind me, I never could resist a keep out sign.

• Amy Pond : Have you ever run away from something because you were scared or, or not ready, or just, just because you could?

  The Doctor : Once. A long time ago.

  Amy Pond : What Happened?

  The Doctor : [Shrugs, grins and looks guilty]  Hello.

• Amy Pond : Why did you just do that with the bottle?

  The Doctor : Don't know. I think a lot. It's hard to keep track.
