  Bob : [to The Doctor over the radio]  You told me my fear would keep me alive but I died afraid, in pain and alone. You made me trust you, and when it mattered, you let me down.

  Amy Pond : [whispering to River Song]  What are they doing?

  River Song : [whispering to Amy Pond]  They're trying to make him angry.

  Bob : I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to know that.

  The Doctor : Well, then, the Angels have made their second mistake because I'm not gonna let that pass. I'm sorry you're dead, Bob, but I swear to whatever is left of you they will be sorrier.

  Bob : But you're trapped, sir. And about to die.

  The Doctor : Yeah, trapped. And you know what, speaking of traps, this trap has got a great big mistake in it. A great big whopping mistake!

  Bob : What mistake, sir?

  The Doctor : [to Amy]  Trust me?

  Amy Pond : Yeah.

  The Doctor : [to River]  Trust me?

  River Song : Always.

  The Doctor : [to Father Octavian and the Clerics]  You lot, trust me?

  Father Octavian : We have faith, sir.

  The Doctor : Then give me your gun. I'm about to do something incredibly stupid and dangerous. When I do, jump!

  Father Octavian : Jump where?

  The Doctor : Oh, just jump. High as you can. Come on! Leap of faith, Bishop. On my signal!

  Father Octavian : What signal?

  The Doctor : You won't miss it.

  Bob : Sorry, can I ask you again? You mentioned a mistake we've made.

  The Doctor : Oh, big, big mistake. Really huge. Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap. If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap.

  Bob : And what would that be, sir?

  The Doctor : [aiming gun upwards]  Me.

  [the Doctor fires] 

• The Doctor : Lovely species, the Aplans. We should visit them some time.

  Amy Pond : I thought they were all dead.

  The Doctor : So's Virginia Woolf; I'm on her bowling team. Very relaxed, sort of cheerful. That's from having two heads. You're never short of a snog with an extra head.

  River Song : Doctor, there's something, I don't know what it is...

  The Doctor : Yeah, something wrong. Don't know what it is yet either, working on it. Then they started having laws against self-marrying and what was that about? But that's the church for you. Erm, no offence, Bishop.

  Father Octavian : Quite a lot taken, if that's all right, Doctor. Lowest point in the wreckage is only about 50 feet up from here. That way.

  Amy Pond : Church had a point, if you think about it. The divorces must have been *messy*.

• Father Octavian : And two hundred years later the planet was terraformed. Currently there are six billion human colonies.

  The Doctor : Whew! You lot. You're everywhere. You're like rabbits! I'll never get done saving you.

• Father Octavian : Verger, how are we doing with those explosives? Doctor Song, with me.

  River Song : Two minutes. Sweetie, I need you.

  Amy Pond : Anybody need me? Nobody?
