Amy Pond Quotes

07x05 - The Angels Take Manhattan Season 7 / Episode 5: - The Angels Take Manhattan

The Doctor: What the hell are you doing?
Amy Pond: Changing the future. Its called marriage.
07x05 - The Angels Take Manhattan Season 7 / Episode 5: - The Angels Take Manhattan

Amy Pond: Hello, old friend, and here we are. You and me, on the last page. By the time you read these words, Rory and I will be long gone. So know that we lived well, and were very happy. And above all else, know that we will love you, always. Sometimes I do worry about you, though. I think once we're gone, 'you won't be coming back here for a while, and you might be alone, which you should never be. Don't be alone, Doctor. And do one more thing for me. There's a little girl waiting in a garden. She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her she'll go to sea and fight pirates. She'll fall in love with a man who'll wait two-thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived and save a whale in outer space. Tell her this is the story of Amelia Pond. And this is how it ends.
07x04 - The Power of Three Season 7 / Episode 4: - The Power of Three

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 hiatus, 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.
07x03 - A Town Called Mercy Season 7 / Episode 3: - A Town Called Mercy

Amy Pond: What does he want? Has he issued some kind of demand?
Isaac: Says he wants us to give him the alien doctor.
Amy Pond: [to The Doctor] But that's you. Why would he want to kill you? Unless he's met you.
07x03 - A Town Called Mercy Season 7 / Episode 3: - A Town Called Mercy

Amy Pond: What's happened to you, Doctor? When did killing someone become an option?
The Doctor: Jex has to answer for his crimes.
Amy Pond: And what then? Are you going to hunt down everyone who's made a gun, or a bullet, or a bomb?
The Doctor: But they keep coming back, don't you see? Everytime I negotiate, everytime I try to understand. Well, not today. No. Today, I honor the victims first. His, the Master's, the Daleks', all the people who died because of MY mercy!
Amy Pond: See, this is what happens when you travel alone for too long. Well, listen to me, Doctor, we can't be like him. We have to be better than him.
07x03 - A Town Called Mercy Season 7 / Episode 3: - A Town Called Mercy

Rory Williams: So, what do we do with Jex?
Isaac: "What do we do with him"?
Rory Williams: Yeah. I mean, he's a war criminal.
Isaac: No, he's the guy who saved the town from cholera. The guy who gave us heat and light.
Amy Pond: Look, Jex may be a criminal, and yeah, kinda creepy -...
Kahler-Jex: ...And still in the room.

Queen Nefertiti: Are you the Doctor's queen?
Amy Pond: No, I'm Rory's queen. Er, wife. Please don't tell him I said I was his queen.
Queen Nefertiti: [speculatively] Does the Doctor have a queen?
Amy Pond: Don't you have a husband?
Queen Nefertiti: [dismissively] The human equivalent of a sleeping potion.
Riddell: Clearly, you need a man of action! [brandishes tranquilizer rifle] With a big... weapon!
Amy Pond: So, human sleeping potion or walking innuendo. Take your pick!
06x13 - The Wedding of River Song Season 6 / Episode 13: - The Wedding of River Song

Madame Kovarian: [weakly] Amy... help me.
Amy Pond: You took my baby from me. And hurt her. And now she's all grown up and she's fine, but I'll never see my baby again.
Madame Kovarian: But you'll still save me, though. Because *he* would, and you'd never do anything to disappoint your precious Doctor.
Rory: Ma'am, we have to go, now!
Amy Pond: [to Kovarian] The Doctor is very precious to me, you're right. But do you know what else he is, Madame Kovarian? Not here. [Amy re-attachs Kovarian's eye drive] River Song didn't get it all from you, sweetie. [eye drive activates and Kovarian screams]
06x13 - The Wedding of River Song Season 6 / Episode 13: - The Wedding of River Song

Rory: Fine.

Rory: Are you sure, River? Are you really, properly sure?
River Song: Of course I'm sure! I'm his wife!
Amy Pond: Yes! And I'm his... [realises]... mother-in-law.
River Song: [to Rory] Father dear, I think mummy might need another drink.
06x13 - The Wedding of River Song Season 6 / Episode 13: - The Wedding of River Song

Madame Kovarian: You'll rescue me, won't you? Because it's what he'd do, and you'd never do anything to disappoint your precious Doctor.
Amy Pond: The Doctor is precious to me, yes. But do you know what else he is? Not here. [puts Madame Kovarian's eye drive back on her, knowing it will electrocute her] River Song didn't get it all from you - sweetie.
06x13 - The Wedding of River Song Season 6 / Episode 13: - The Wedding of River Song

Amy Pond: So, you and me. When this is all over, we should go for a drink sometime.

Rita: Hello...
Amy Pond: Don't talk to the clown!
06x11 - The God Complex Season 6 / Episode 11: - The God Complex

Amy Pond: "Let's go to Ravan-Skala," he says. "The people are 600 feet tall, you have to talk to them in hot air balloons, and the Tourist Information Centre is made of one of their hats," he says. I'm sorry, I don't see any huge hats.
The Doctor: [giddy] Amy, Beaky, this could be the most exciting thing I've ever seen!
Rory: You're kidding.
Amy Pond: How can you be excited about a rubbish hotel on a rubbish bit of Earth?
The Doctor: Because, assembled Ponds, this is not Earth. This has just been made to *look* like Earth. The craftsmanship involved... can you imagine?
Amy Pond: What? Then where are we?
The Doctor: I dunno. Something must've yanked us off course. Look at the detail on that cheese plant!


Rory: Right, but, who would mock-up an Earth hotel?
The Doctor: Colonists, maybe, recreating a bit of home, like when ex-pats open up english pubs in Majorca.


The Doctor: No, whoever did this, I'm shaking his/her hand/tenticle.

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!


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.
06x10 - The Girl Who Waited Season 6 / Episode 10: - The Girl Who Waited

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!


Rory: Doctor!
The Doctor: Amy!
Amy Pond: Doctooor!
06x10 - The Girl Who Waited Season 6 / Episode 10: - The Girl Who Waited

Interface: Welcome to the Two Streams facility!


Amy Pond: Um, who are you and why can't I see you?
Interface: [the ceiling tile lights up and shines on her again] I am the Interface between yourself and the systems of the Two Streams facility. I will be your guide, your teacher, your friend.


Check-In Girl: Welcome to Two Streams. What is your name, please?
Amy Pond: Amy. Amy Pond.
Check-In Girl: Welcome, Amy Pond. I see you're traveling alone. As a resident, you will now have access to all of the entertainment zones inside. For a taste of adventure, why not try the Mountain Zone and explore Appalappachia's famous glass-mirror mountains? Or try our Roller Coaster Zone, authentically modeled on the famous Warp Speed Death Ride at Disneyland Clom. All you could wish for, and more, is through the depature gate, provided for you with kindness.
06x10 - The Girl Who Waited Season 6 / Episode 10: - The Girl Who Waited

Amy Pond: In fact I think I can now definitely say I hate him. I hate the Doctor. I hate him more than I have hated anyone in my life and you can hear every word of this through those ridiculous glasses, can't you, Raggedy Man?
The Doctor: Uh, yes. Putting the speakerphone on.
Amy Pond: You told me to wait, and I did. A lifetime.
The Doctor: Amy!
Amy Pond: You've got nothing to say to me.
The Doctor: Amy, behind you!
06x10 - The Girl Who Waited Season 6 / Episode 10: - The Girl Who Waited

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.
06x10 - The Girl Who Waited Season 6 / Episode 10: - The Girl Who Waited

Rory: Oh!


Amy Pond: Don't worry about him. Sit down, Rory.


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: 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.
06x10 - The Girl Who Waited Season 6 / Episode 10: - The Girl Who Waited

Amy Pond: Have you seen my phone?
The Doctor: Your phone?
Amy Pond: Yeah.
The Doctor: Your mobile telephone. I bring you to a paradise planet 2 billion light-years from Earth and you want to update... Twitter!
Amy Pond: "Sunsets; spires; soaring silver colonnades." It's a camera phone.
The Doctor: On the counter, by the DVDs.
Amy Pond: Thank you.

06x08 - Let's Kill Hitler (Part 2) Season 6 / Episode 8: - Let's Kill Hitler (Part 2)

Amy Pond: Where are we?
The Doctor: A room.
Rory: What room?
The Doctor: I don't know what room. I haven't memorized every room in the universe, I had yesterday off.
06x08 - Let's Kill Hitler (Part 2) Season 6 / Episode 8: - Let's Kill Hitler (Part 2)

River Song: Hang on! Just something I have to check.


Rory: Is anybody else finding today just a bit difficult? I'm getting a sort of banging in my head.
Amy Pond: Yeah, I think that's Hitler in the cupboard.
Rory: That's not helping...
The Doctor: This isn't the River Song we know yet. This is her right at the start. Doesn't even know her name.
River Song: [from bathroom] Oh, that's *magnificent*!


River Song: I'm going to wear *lots* of jumpers!
