Quotes
-
Rory : It's like you're not even her.
Amy Pond : 36 years, 3 months, 4 days of solitary confinement. This facility was built to give people the chance to live. I walked in here and I died. Do you have anything to say? Anything, Doctor?
The Doctor : [in awe] Where did you get a sonic screwdriver?
Amy Pond : I made it. And it's a sonic probe.
Rory : You made a sonic screwdriver?
Amy Pond : [emphatic] Probe.

[in Amy's shelter by the time engines, Rory is startled by a Handbot]
Rory : Oh!
[it turns, revealing a smiling face drawn on its head]
Amy Pond : Don't worry about him. Sit down, Rory.
[Rory does. So does the Handbot. They look at each other]
Rory : You named him after me?
Amy Pond : I needed a bit of company.
Rory : So he's your...
Amy Pond : Pet.
Rory : Is it safe?
Amy Pond : Yep. I disarmed it.
Rory : How?
[Rory notices that its hands are gone, severed]
Rory : Ohh! You, uh, you dis-armed it.
Amy Pond : Oh, don't get sentimental; it's just a robot. You'd have done the same.
The Doctor : [in the TARDIS, watching] I don't think that I would've.
Rory : And there he is: the voice of God! "Survive, because no one is going to come for you." Number one lesson. You taught me that.
The Doctor : [over the glasses] Is that really all I've taught you?
Amy Pond : Don't you lecture me, blue-box man, flying through time and space on whimsy. All I've got, all I've had for 36 years is cold, hard reality. So, no, I don't have a sonic screwdriver, because I'm not off on a romp. I call it what it is: a probe; and I call my life what it is: hell.

Old Amy Pond : [putting on Rory's glasses] They look ridiculous.
Rory : That's what I told him. Still, anything beats a fez, eh?
[they both briefly laugh]
Rory : What is it?
Old Amy Pond : I think that's the first time I've laughed in 36 years.
-
Handbot : Will you be visiting long?
Rory : Good question. Bit sinister. What's the answer to not get us killed?
-
Amy Pond : You didn't save me.
Rory : [shudders] Bu- *This* is the saving! This is the us saving you! The Doctor just got the
Rory : [shouting aside, enraged] *timing a bit out*!
The Doctor : [mouthing] Sorry.

[first lines]
The Doctor : Appalappachia.
Amy Pond : Say it again?
The Doctor : Appalappachia!
Amy Pond : Appalappa...
The Doctor : -chia!
Rory : Appalappachia.
The Doctor : Appalappachia.
Amy Pond : Appalappachia! What a beautiful word.
The Doctor : Beautiful word, beautiful world.
Amy Pond : [the Doctor throws a lever, the room shifts] Ooh!
The Doctor : Appalappachia, voted number two planet in the Top Ten Greatest Destinations for the Discerning Intergalactic Traveler.
Rory : Why couldn't we go to number one?
The Doctor : It's *hideous*! *Everyone* goes to number one, planet of the coffee shops! Appalappachia, I give you sunsets; spires; soaring, silver colonnades; I give you, ahh!
[the TARDIS opens to a small, all-white room with a pair of closed, gray sliding doors under a white arch and a small chrome panel to the right of it with two buttons labeled "GREEN ANCHOR" and "RED WATERFALL". The room is otherwise completely featureless]
Rory : Doors.
The Doctor : Doors. Yes. I mea-, I- I-, I give you doors. But on the other *side* of those doors I give you sunsets; spires; soaring silver colonnades.

The Doctor : [to Amy through the resynced glass] It's OK, I've got you, you're fine.
Handbot : [to Rory] Will you be visiting long?
Rory : Doctor, a little help, Doctor.
Amy Pond : And where have you been?
Handbot : Will you be visiting long?
Rory : What do I tell it?
Amy Pond : I have been here for a week!
The Doctor : A WEEK?
Rory : A *week*?
The Doctor : I'm so sorry! Ah-ha, same room, different times. Two different time streams running parallel but at different speeds. Amy, you're in a faster timestream!
Amy Pond : Doctor, it's going again!
[Handbot moves its hand threateningly close to Rory's face; he flinches away]
Rory : Doctor!
The Doctor : Amy!
Amy Pond : Doctooor!

Old Amy Pond : [locked out of the Tardis] Rory, please. The look on your face when you carried her... me... *her*. When you carried her away. You used to look at me like that. I'd forgotten how much you loved me. I'd forgotten how much I loved being her: Amy Pond, in the TARDIS with Rory Williams.
Rory : I'm sorry, I can't do this.
[goes to unlock the TARDIS door]
Old Amy Pond : If you love me, don't let me in. Open that door, I will... I'll come in. I don't want to die. I won't bow out bravely. I'll be kicking and screaming, fighting to the end.
Rory : [crying] Amy... Amy, I love you!
Old Amy Pond : [crying] I love you too! Don't let me in. Tell Amy, your Amy, I'm giving her the days: the days with you, the days to come...
Rory : I'm so, so sorry.
Old Amy Pond : ...the days I can't have. Take them, please. I'm giving you my days.
Rory : I'm so, so sorry.

Amy Pond : 'cos here's the deal. You take me too. In the Tardis. Me too.
Rory : But that means there'd be two of you. Permanently. Forever.
Amy Pond : And that means we both get to live.
Rory : [to the Doctor] Two Amys. Together. Can that work?
The Doctor : [In the Tardis, watching] I don't know. It's your marriage.

[last lines]
The Doctor : I'll, uh, leave you two alone.
Rory : You all right?
Amy Pond : Mmm hmm.
Rory : How are you feeling?
Amy Pond : Where is she?
-
Rory : You've been crying. A little bit.
Old Amy Pond : Shut up, Rory.
Rory : You have, haven't you?
Old Amy Pond : Woman with a sword. Don't push it.

Amy Pond , Old Amy Pond : Okay, this is weird... Alright, stop doing that.
Rory : How about Amy One speaks first?
Amy Pond , Old Amy Pond : Which one's Amy One?
Rory : Well...
Amy Pond , Old Amy Pond : I am!... No, I am!... Rory?

Rory : [referring to the handbot] Is it safe?
Old Amy Pond : Yeah. I disarmed it.
Rory : How?
[he sees that it has no hands]
Rory : Oh. You disarmed it.
