The Beast Below
Sign over the Vators: Mind the doors.

Amy: My name is Amy Pond. When I was seven I had an imaginary friend. Last night was the night before my wedding. My imaginary friend came back.

The Doctor: Oh... lovely. You're a cheery one. Never mind dead! Look at this place. Isn't it wrong?
Amy: One little girl crying. So?
The Doctor: Crying silently. I mean children cry because they want attention. 'Cause they're hurt or afraid. When they cry silently it's 'cause they just can't stop.

Victory of the Daleks
Churchill: So you've changed your face again.
The Doctor: Yeah. Had a bit of work done.
Churchill: We stand alone at a crossroads, Doctor. Quite alone. With our backs to the wall. Invasion is expected daily. So I will grasp with both hands anything that will give us an advantage over the Nazi menace.
The Doctor: Such as?
Churchill: Follow me.
The Doctor: Listen to me. Just listen. The Daleks have no conscience. No mercy. No pity. They are my oldest and deadliest enemy. You can not trust them.
Churchill: If Hitler invaded Hell I would give a favorable reference to the Devil.
Dalek: Scan reveals nothing. TARDIS self-destruct device non-existent.
The Doctor: Alright, it's a Jammie Dodger. But I was promised tea!

The Doctor: “Hello Sweetie.”
River: Doctor.
The Doctor: River.

River: How impossible?
The Doctor: A few minutes.

Vampires of Venice
The Doctor: Rory! That's a relief. Thought I'd burst out of the wrong cake. Again. That reminds me, there's a girl standing outside in a bikini. Could somebody let her in and give her a jumper? Lucy. Lovely girl. {whispering} Diabetic.
The Doctor: The life out there, it dazzles. I mean, it blinds you to the things that are important. I've seen it devour relationships entirely. {the TARDIS sparks} It's meant to do that. Because for one person to have seen all that, to have tasted the glory, and then go back.
The Doctor: It's a lot to take in, isn't it. Tiny box, huge room inside. Let me explain—
Rory: It's another dimension.
The Doctor: It's basically another dimension— What?
Rory: After what happened with Prisoner Zero I've been reading up all on the latest scientific theories. FTL travel, parallel universes.
The Doctor: I like the bit when someone says "It's bigger on the inside." I always look forward to that.
The Doctor to the mirror: Hello Handsome.
The Girls: Who are you?
The Doctor: How are you doing that?! I am loving it! You're like Houdini, only five slutty, scary girls.
Rory: You know what's dangerous about you? Something you make people take risks is you make them want to impress you. You make it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around.

Amy's Choice
The Doctor: Well I wanted to see how you were. You know me, I don't just abandon people when they leave the TARDIS. This Time Lord's for life. You don't get rid of your old pal the Doctor so easily.
Amy: You came here by mistake, didn't you.
The Doctor: Yeah. Bit of a mistake. But look, what a result.
Amy: You had the same dream.
The Doctor: Basically.
Rory: You said it was a nightmare.
The Doctor: Did I say nightmare? No. More of a really good... mare.
The Doctor: Look round you. Examine everything. Look for all the details that don't ring true.
Rory: Okay, well we're on a spaceship that's bigger on the inside than the outside.
Amy: With a bowtie-wearing idiot.
Rory: So maybe "what rings true" isn't so simple.
The Doctor: Valid point.
Amy: Who are you and what do you want? The Doctor knows you but he's not telling me who you are. And he always does. Takes him awhile sometimes but he tells me. So you're something different.
Dream Lord: Oh, so is that who you think you are? The one he trusts?
Amy: Actually, yes.
Dream Lord: The only girl in the universe to whom the Doctor tells everything.
Amy: Yes.
Dream Lord: So what's his name?

The Hungry Earth
The Doctor: It knows we're here. It's attacking. The ground's attacking us. Under the circumstances I'd suggest... Run!
Elliot: There's only one explanation as far as I can see.
Rory: What's that then?
Elliot: The graves eat people. Devour them whole. Leaving no trace.
Rory: Not sure about that.
Elliot: They didn't steal the body from above. They couldn't have got it from the sides. Only other thing is the dead did it from underneath.
Rory: Not very likely though.
Elliot: When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains—however improbable—must be the truth.
Rory: Sorry?
Elliot: Sherlock Holmes. Got the audio book. The graves around you eat people.
Tony Mack: You're not making any sense, man.
The Doctor: Excuse me, I'm making perfect sense. You're just not keeping up.
The Doctor: Oh Nasreen. Those trace minerals weren't X marking the spot, saying "dig here". They were a warning: "Stay away". 'Cause while you've been drilling down, somebody else has been drilling up.
The Doctor: That noise isn't a drill. It's a transport. Three of them. Thirty kilometers down. Major speed looks about 150 kilometers now. Should be here in... oo, quite soon. Twelve minutes. Whatever bioprogrammed the Earth is on its way up. Now.

Cold Blood
Eldane: This is the story of our planet. Earth. On the day a thousand years past when we came to share it with a race known as humanity. It is the story of the Doctor who helped our races find common ground, and the terrible loses he suffered. It is the story of our past and must never be forgotten.
Rory: I promise you, Ambrose, I trust the Doctor with my life. We stick to his plan.
The Doctor: Not got any celery do you? No. No, not really the climate. Tomatoes though. You'd do a roaring trade in those. I'm the Doctor. Oh, and there's Nasreen.
Nasreen: Oh, green man.
The Doctor: Hello. Who are you?
Restac: Restac. Military command.
The Doctor: Oh do you really? There's always a military, isn't there.
Amy: Let them go.
The Doctor: Amy! Oh, there's a girl to rely on.

Vincent and the Doctor
Musée d’Orsay
Amy: All these places you're taking me—Arcadia, the Trojan Gardens, now this— I think it's suspicious.
The Doctor: What? It's not. There's nothing
to be suspicious about.
Amy: Okay. I was joking. Why aren't you?
Young kid: Who is it?
Young kid: It's the doctor! He was the doctor who took care of van Gogh when he started to go mad.
Young kid: I knew that.
Amy: Look! There it is. The actual one.
The Doctor: Yes. You can almost feel his hand painting it right in front of you. Carving the colors into shapes. Wait a minute.
Amy: What?
The Doctor: What. Just. Look at that.
Amy: What?
The Doctor: Something very not good indeed.
Amy: What very not good—
The Doctor: Look. There! In the window of the church.
Amy: Is that a face?
The Doctor: Yes. And not a nice face at all. I know evil when I see it and I see it in that window.
The Doctor: Art can wait. This is life and death. We need to talk to Vincent Van Gogh.

The Lodger
Craig: But I only put the advert up today. I didn't put my address.
The Doctor: Well aren't you lucky I came along. More lucky than you know. Less of a young professional. More of an ancient amateur. But frankly I'm a dream.
The Doctor: Don't spend it all on sweets unless you like sweets—I like sweets. Oh! That's how they greet each other nowadays isn't it? I'm the Doctor. Well, they call me the Doctor. I don't know why. I call me the Doctor too. Still don't know why.
Craig: Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit weird?
The Doctor: They never really stop.
The Doctor: Now all I've got to do is pass as an ordinary human being. Simple. What could possibly go wrong.
Amy: Have you seen you?
Craig: Me and you, it's not going to work out. You've only been here three days and it's been the weirdest three days of my life.
The Doctor: Your days would get a lot weirder if I go.

The Big Bang
1,894 years later...
Amelia Pond: Dear Santa, Thank you for the dolls and pencils and fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you. But honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack but I know it's not, 'cause at night there's voices. So please, please could you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman... or... {hears something outside.} Back in a moment. {she looks out the window and there's nothing there}
Amelia touches the Pandorica, which starts to glow and opens to reveal:
Amy: Okay, kid. This is where it gets complicated.
The Doctor: History has collapsed. Whole races have been deleted from existence. These are just like after-images. Echoes. Fossils in time made from prints of the Neverwere.
Rory: Uh. What does that mean?
The Doctor: Total event collapse. The Universe literally never happened.
Rory: So how can we be here? What's keeping us safe?
The Doctor: Nothing. Eye of the Storm, that's all. We're just the last light to go out. Amy. Where's Amy?
Rory: I killed her.
The Doctor: Oh Rory.
