• River Song : How are you even doing that? I'm not really here.

  The Doctor : You are always here to me, and I always listen. And I can always see you.

  River Song : Then why didn't you speak to me?

  The Doctor : Because I thought it would hurt too much.

  River Song : I believe I could have coped.

  The Doctor : No. I thought it would hurt me... and I was right.

• River Song : Goodbye, Sweetie.

• River Song : I died saving him; in return he saved me to a database in the biggest library in the universe. Left me like a book on a shelf; didn't even say goodbye. He doesn't like endings.

• The Doctor : River?

  The Doctor : That can't be right.

  Clara : No, it can't. She's not dead.

  The Doctor : Oh, she's dead, I'm afraid. She's been dead for a very long time.

  River Song : Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that. Never the right time.

• River Song : The Doctor might have mentioned me?

  Clara : Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, of course he has. Professor Song. Sorry, it's just that I never realized you were a woman.

  Strax : Well, neither did I.
