• The Doctor : You're thinking of stopping, aren't you? You and Rory.

  Amy Pond : No, no - I mean, we haven't made a decision...

  The Doctor : But you're considering it.

  Amy Pond : Maybe. I don't know. We don't know. Well, our lives have changed so much. There was a time, there were years when I couldn't live without you. Um, when just the whole every day thing would drive me crazy. But since you dropped us back here, since you gave us this house, you know, we've built a life. And I don't know if we can have both.

  The Doctor : Why?

  Amy Pond : Because, they pull at each other. Because they pull at me and the traveling is starting to feel like running away.

  The Doctor : That's not what it is.

  Amy Pond : Oh come on, look at you - four days in a lounge and you go crazy.

  The Doctor : I'm not running away. But this is one corner in one country in one continent in one planet that's a corner of a galaxy that is a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And this is so much, SO MUCH, to see, Amy. Because it goes so fast. I'm not running away from things. I'm running to them before they flare and fade forever. That's all right. Our lives would never remain the same. They can't. One day, soon maybe, you'll stop. I've known for a while.

  Amy Pond : Then why do you keep coming back for us?

  The Doctor : Because you were the first. The first face this face saw. And you were seared onto my hearts, Amelia Pond. Always will be. I'm running to you and Rory before you... fade from me.

  Amy Pond : Don't be nice to me. I don't want you to be nice to me.

  The Doctor : Yeah you do, Pond. And you always get what you want.

• Rory Williams : Right. I'm off to work

  The Doctor : What? You've got a job?

  Rory Williams : Of course I've got a... What do you think we do when we're not with you?

  The Doctor : I imagine mostly kissing.

• Brian Williams : [on Amy and Rory]  How long were they away?

  The Doctor : I don't know what you're talking about, Brian.

  Brian Williams : Because they're wearing totally different clothes from earlier.

  The Doctor : Seven weeks. I got sidetracked. A lot.

  Brian Williams : What happened to the other people who travel with you?

  The Doctor : Some left me. Some got left behind. And some, not many but... some died. Not them. Not them, Brian. Never them.

• The Doctor : [eating fish fingers and custard with Rory and Amy]  If I had a restaurant, this'd be all I'd serve.

  Amy Pond : Yeah, right. You running a restaurant.

  The Doctor : I've run restaurants. Who do you think invented Yorkshire pudding?

  Rory Williams : You didn't.

  The Doctor : Pudding yet savory. Sound familiar?
