Quoted in: 

Funny thing is, this means you've always known how I was going to die. All the time we've been together, you knew I was coming here. The last time I saw you, the real you β€” the future you, I mean β€” you turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the singing towers. Oh, what a night that was! The towers sang and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the Library. You even gave me your screwdriver; that should've been a clue. There's nothing you can do.
– You can let me do this!
– If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you!
– Time can be rewritten!
– Not those times. Not one line! Don't you dare! It's okay. It's okay, it's not over for you. You'll see me again. You've got all of that to come. You and me, time and space. You watch us run!
– River, you know my name. You whispered my name in my ear! There's only one reason I would ever tell anyone my name. There's only one time I could.
– Hush, now β€” spoilers.

– Picnic at Asgard, Have we done Asgard yet?
– ...
– Obviously not. Blimey, very early days then. Oo! Life with a time traveller, never knew it could be such hard work. Um... Look at you. You're young.
– I'm really not, you know.
– Oh but you are. Your eyes! You're younger than I've ever seen you.
– You've seen me before then?
– Doctor, please tell me you know who I am.
– Who are you?

Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war

Friendship dies and true love lies
Night will fall and the dark will rise
When a good man goes to war

Demons run, but count the cost
The battle's won, but the child is lost
The fight goes on but what’s it for
When a good man goes to war

Now rise the sun, now dawn the day
When good man run and women stay
When battle’s done and nothing’s won
It’s a woman’s work to say
Well then, soldier, how goes the day?

– They've gone into warp drive. We're losing them. Stay close.
– I'm trying!
– Use the stabilizers.
– It doesn't have stabilizers!
– The blue switches.
– The blue switches don't do anything! They're just blue.
– Yes, they're blue. They're the blue stabilizers! See?
– Yeah. Well, just boring now, isn't it? They're boringers. They're blue boringers.
– Doctor, how come she can fly the TARDIS?
– You call that flying the TARDIS? Ha!
