Quotes 

• Octavian : [about The Doctor]  You trust this man?

  River Song : I absolutely trust him.

  Octavian : He's not some kind of madman, then?

  River Song : [pause]  I absolutely trust him.

• Octavian : This whole place is a death-trap!

  The Doctor : No, it's a time-bomb. Well, it's a death-trap and a time-bomb. And now it's a dead end. Nobody panic.

  [Nobody shows the slightest sign of panic] 

  The Doctor : Just me, then.

• The Doctor : Just tell me why she was in Stormcage.

  Octavian : She killed a man. A good man, a hero to many.

  The Doctor : Who?

  Octavian : You don't want to know, sir. You really don't.

• Octavian : Doctor, we can't stay here, we're too exposed.

  The Doctor : We're too exposed everywhere, and Amy can't move, and anyway, that's not the plan.

  River Song : There's a plan?

  The Doctor : Don't know yet, I haven't finished talking.

• The Doctor : You'll die.

  Octavian : I will die in the knowledge that my courage did not desert me at the end. For that I thank God, and bless the path that takes you to safety.

  The Doctor : I wish I'd known you better.

  Octavian : I think, sir, you know me at my best.

  The Doctor : Ready?

  Octavian : Content.

• River Song : [hears a loud screeching]  What is that? Dear God, what is it?

  Octavian : They're back.

  Bob : It's hard to put in your terms, Doctor Song, but as best as I understand it, the Angels are laughing.

  The Doctor : Laughing?

  Bob : Because you haven't noticed yet, sir. The Doctor in the TARDIS hasn't noticed.

• Octavian : Our mission is to make this wreckage safe and neutralise the Angels. Until that is achieved...

  River Song : Father Octavian, when the Doctor's in the room, your one and only mission is to keep him alive long enough to get everyone else home. And trust me, it's not easy. Now, if he's dead back there, I'll never forgive myself, and if he's alive, I'll never forgive him. And Doctor, you're standing right behind me, aren't you?

  The Doctor : Oh, yeah.

  River Song : I hate you.

  The Doctor : You don't.
