Rory: Can you help her? Is there anything you could do?
The Doctor: Yeah, probably, if I had the time.
Rory: The time?!
[The Doctor walks off a short distance and turns his back to Rory. As he speaks, he has a sly expression on his face, as if he doesn't really mean what he's saying.]
The Doctor: All of Creation has just been wiped from the sky. Do you know how many lives now never happened? All the people who never lived? Your girlfriend isn't more important than the whole universe.
[Rory turns the Doctor around and punches him -- hard -- on the jaw.]
Rory: SHE IS TO ME!!
[The Doctor gets up, delighted and laughing.]
The Doctor: Ha ha! Welcome back, Rory Williams!
Rory: Doctor, there's something else. There's a voice [coming from the exploding TARDIS].
Rory: [to leaders of a Cybermen legion] I have a message and a question: a message from the Doctor and a question from me. Where. Is. My. Wife?[The Cybermen do not respond] Oh, don't give me those blank looks. The Twelfth Cyber Legion monitors this entire quadrant. You hear everything. So you tell me what I need to know, you tell me now, and I'll be on my way.
Cyber Leader: What is the Doctor's message?
[A complex space base of Cybermen operations explodes in the window behind Rory]
Rory: Would you like me to repeat the question?
[after Rory apparently rescues Melody and brings her to Amy]
Rory:[starting to tear up] Oh god, I was going to be cool. I wanted to be cool, and now look at me.
Amy:[smiles tearfully] A crying Roman with a baby - Definitely cool.
Rory:[off their looks] Sorry. There weren't any good questions left.
Rory: Amy, basic fact of our relationship is that I love you more than you love me. Which today is good news, because it might just save both of our lives.
[The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River watch as an elderly version of Rory dies]
Rory: Could someone please tell me what is going on?
The Doctor: I'm sorry, Rory... but you just died.
Rory: [hearing a metal crashing sound outside] What was that?
The Doctor: I don't know. But I think they're coming for you.
Rory: What does that mean? What is going to happen to me? What is physically going to happen?
The Doctor: The Angels will come for you. They'll zap you back in time to this spot thirty, forty years ago, and you will live out the rest of your life in that room until you die in that bed.
Rory: And will Amy be there?
The Doctor: No.
Amy: How do you know?
The Doctor: Because he was so pleased to see you again.
Rory: [sarcastically optimistic] Okay... well, they haven't taken me yet!
[Faced with a monstrous Weeping Angel Statue of Liberty]
Rory: I always wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty. I guess she got impatient.
[Rory climbs onto the rooftop edge.]
Amy: What are you doing? Rory! What are you doing? [turns around] Rory. Stop it. You'll die.
Rory: Yeah, twice. On the same building on the same night. Who else could do that?
Amy: Just come down, please.
Rory: This is the right thing to do. This will work. If I die now, it's a paradox, right? The paradox will kill the Angels. Tell me I'm wrong. Go on, please, because I am really scared. [Amy says nothing] Great. The one time you can't manage it.
Rory: River said that this place would be erased from time. It never existed. If this place never existed, what did I fall off?
Amy: You think you'll just come back to life?
Rory: When don't I?!
Amy: Rory -
Rory: Anyway, what else is there? Dying of old age, downstairs, never seeing you again? Amy, please. If you love me, then trust me, and push.
Amy: I can't.
Rory: You have to!
Amy: Could you? If it was me, could you do it?
Rory: To save you... I could do anything.
[Rory and Amy wake up in a graveyard in 2012]
Rory: Where are we?
The Doctor: [excited] Back where we started! You collapsed the timeline! The paradox worked! We're all pinged back where we belong
Rory: What, in a graveyard?
[Rory finds a gravestone marked with his name]
Rory: Amy! Come see this.
Amy: What?
Rory: There's a gravestone here for someone with the same name as me.
Amy: What?
[Rory suddenly vanishes, revealing a Weeping Angel standing behind where he was]
Rory: Dear Dad. Uh, this is the difficult bit -- if I've got this right, you're reading this letter a week after we left in the TARDIS. Uh, the thing is... We're not coming back. We're alive and well, and... stuck. In New York, fifty years before I was born. We can't come home again. I won't ever see you again, and that breaks my heart. I'm so sorry, Dad. I thought about this for years, and I realized there was one thing I could do -- I could write to you. Tell you everything about how we lived. How, despite it all, we were happy. But, before I do, I need you to know: you are the best Dad any son could've had. And, for all the times I drove you mad and you drove me mad -- all the times I snapped at you... I'm sorry. I miss everything about you. Especially our awkward hugs. I bought a trowel. We have a small yard, aye-garden. But one more important bit of business: the man who delivered the letter, Anthony... be nice to him. 'Cos he's your grandson. We finally adopted in 1946 -- Anthony Brian Williams. He can tell you everything; he'll have the family albums. And I realize, having a grandson who's older than you is so far beyond weird, but I'm sorry. I love you, Dad. I miss you.
Doctor Who: Lockdown! -- Rory's Story [X.5]
(11 April 2020)
Rory: So, it's 1946 and, even knowing how the war was gonna turn out, I'm glad it's finally over. And I'm-- I'm mostly impressed by people. They can get through so much just by being brave and optimistic and resilient...
There's someone coming. I don't know where he is, or what he's doing, but trust me, he's on his way. … There's a man who will never let us down. And not even an army can get in the way. … He's the last of his kind. He looks young but he's lived for hundreds and hundreds for years. And wherever they take you, Melody, however scared you are, I promise you, you'll never be alone. … Because this man is your father. … He has a name but the people of our world know him better ... as the Last Centurion.
You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful — and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick; but then there's other people. And you meet them and you think, "Not bad, they're okay," and when you get to know them ... their face just, sort of, becomes them, like their personality's written all over it, and they just — they turn into something so beautiful. Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met.
