Quotes 

• The Doctor : Planet One, the oldest planet in the Universe, and there is a cliff of pure diamond, and, according to legend, on the cliff there's writing, letters 50 feet high, a message from the dawn of time, and no one knows what it says because no one's ever translated it. 'Til today.

  Amy Pond : What happens today?

  The Doctor : Us. The TARDIS can translate anything. All we have to do is open the doors and read very first words of recorded history.

  [They step out of the TARDIS. The Doctor's face transitions immediately from gleeful anticipation to flat disappointment] 

  Writing on cliff face : HELLO SWEETIE

  Writing on cliff face : [followed by the Greek letters]  Theta-Sigma Phi Gamma-Upsilon-Delta-Qorra

  Amy Pond : [laughs]  "Vavoom."

  [the corner of The Doctor's mouth turns up in a smirk] 

• Amy Pond : What was that?

  The Doctor : Okay, need a better look. Gotta draw its fire, give it a proper target.

  Amy Pond : How?

  The Doctor : Well, you know how sometimes I have really brilliant ideas?

  Amy Pond : Yeah...

  The Doctor : I'm sorry!

  The Doctor : [jumps out from behind the Pandorica]  Hey look at me, I'm a target!

• Amy Pond : What is that?

  The Doctor : Cyber arm, arm of a Cyberman.

  Amy Pond : Um, Cyberman?

  The Doctor : Well, sort of part-man, part-robot. The organic part's died out years ago. Now the robot-part is looking for, well... fresh meat.

  Amy Pond : What, us?

  The Doctor : Yeah, it's just like being an organ donor, except you're alive and sort of... screaming.
