Look at Me Again I Will Kill Song

Post a Comment

Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it similar the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might merely turn night if he e'er, for ane moment, accepts it.

Everybody knows that everybody dies. Merely not every twenty-four hours. Non today. Some days are special. Some days are then, and so blest. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and and so, Every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Medico comes to telephone call, everybody lives.

River Song is a fictional character played past Alex Kingston in the British science-fiction series Doctor Who. Within the series' narrative, River Song is an experienced companion of the Doctor. Considering she and the Doctor are both time travelers, their adventures together are largely experienced out of sequence in the chronology of each other's lives, resulting in surprising consequences for them and their unusual romantic life together, including the fact that the first time he meets her, is the final time she meets him, equally she sacrifices her life to salvage his. In the 2011 episode A Practiced Man Goes to War information technology is revealed that she was born Melody Pond, the girl of Amy Pond and Rory Williams, and in the following episode, Let's Kill Hitler, it is revealed she spent years of her life equally Mels, the childhood friend of her mother — and thus was in fact named after herself.

River: Always.
Mr. Lux: Professor Song, why am I the only one wearing my helmet?
River: I don't fancy yous.

The Physician: And I know that because?
River: Listen to me, you've lost your friend—you're angry, I sympathize. But yous demand to be less emotional, Doctor. Right at present—

The Md: Young— Who are y'all?!
Mr. Lux: Oh for heaven'south sake! Wait at the pair of you lot. We're all going to die right hither and y'all're but squabbling like an quondam married couple!
River: Physician. One mean solar day I'thousand going to be someone that you trust. Completely. But I can't expect for you to find that out. And then I'm going to prove information technology to you. And I'm distressing. I'm really very sorry. [whispers in his ear] Are we good? Doctor. Are we good?
The Md: [subdued] Yeah. Nosotros're good.
River: Good.
The Doctor: Professor, go ahead. Find a condom spot.
River: It's a cannibal swarm in a suit! You tin't reason with it.
The Md: Five minutes.
River: You know when you see a photograph of someone you know, but it'southward from years earlier yous knew them. It'due south like they're not quite finished; they're not done yet. Well, yes, the Dr.'s here. He came when I called just similar he e'er does, but not "my" Doctor. Now, my Doctor, I've seen whole armies turn and run away, and he'd just swagger off back to his TARDIS and open the doors with a snap of his fingers. The Dr. in the TARDIS. Side by side cease: everywhere.
The Doctor: Spoilers! Nobody can open the TARDIS past snapping their fingers. It doesn't work like that.
River: It does for the Doctor.
The Physician: I am the Doctor.
River: Yeah. Someday.
River: Gravity Platform.
The Doctor: Bet I like you.
River: Oh, y'all practise.

All the time nosotros've been together, you knew I was coming hither. The last time I saw you, the existent yous — the futurity y'all, I mean — you turned upward on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a adjust. Y'all took me to Darillium to meet the singing towers. Oh, what a night that was! The towers sang and y'all cried. You wouldn't tell me why, only I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Futurity to the Library. You even gave me your screwdriver; that should've been a inkling. [The Doctor tries unsuccessfully to attain their sonic screwdrivers] There'south nothing you lot can do.
The Doctor: You can allow me do this!
River: If you die hither, information technology'll mean I've never met you!
The Doctor: Fourth dimension tin can exist rewritten!
River: Non those times. Not ane line! Don't you cartel! It's okay. It's okay, it'southward non over for y'all. You'll see me again. Y'all've got all of that to come up. You and me, fourth dimension and space. Yous picket u.s.a. run! [River starts to weep]
The Md: River, you lot know my proper noun. You whispered my proper noun in my ear! There's only ane reason I would ever tell anyone my name. There'due south only i time I could.
River: [smiles sweetly at the Doctor as the countdown reaches zero] Hush, at present — spoilers.
River's narration: [as the Doctor walks abroad from the Library] When you run with the Medico, it feels like it'll never end, but withal hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it similar the Dr., but I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might simply turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.
[The Dr. runs back and picks upwards River'due south sonic screwdriver]
The Doc: Why? Why would I give her my screwdriver? Why would I do that? The thing is, future me had years to call up about it. All those years to think of a style to save her, and what he did was give her a screwdriver! Why would I practise that?! [peels dorsum a console to reveal a fix of green lights like on the suits, realizing why his hereafter cocky has given River the screwdriver] Oh, oh, oh! Look at that! I'm very good!
Donna: What have you done?
The Doctor: Saved her! [runs with River's consciousness in the screwdriver] Stay with me! Y'all tin can practice information technology! Stay with me! Come on!! You and me, one final run! [pointing his screwdriver at the Gravity Platform, turning it off] Sorry River, brusk cut!
[He jumps into the entrance and freefalls to the heart of the computer organization while the information ghost indicator lights begin to get out. He continues to run]
River's narration: Everybody knows that everybody dies, but not every day. Not today. [The Doctor uploads her into CAL, where she is "saved" in a virtual reality, along with her boyfriend expeditioners killed by the Vashta Nerada] Some days are special. Some days are so, so blest. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and so, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the current of air stands fair and the Doc comes to phone call, everybody lives.

The Doc: But...it didn't make the racket.
River: What noise?

The Dr.: Mmm. What exercise you lot think of the towers?
River: I love them.
The Doctor: And so why are y'all ignoring them?
River: They're ignoring me. Just, then, you can't await a monolith to love y'all back.
The Medico: No, you can't. They've been there for millions of years, through storms and floods and wars and… time. Nobody really understands where the music comes from. It'south probably something to do with the precise positions, the distance between both towers. Even the locals aren't sure. All anyone will ever tell you is that when the wind stands off-white and the night is perfect… when you least expect it… but e'er… when you need it the most… in that location is a Song.
River: Then, assuming tonight is all we accept left…
The Doctor: I didn't say that.
River: How long… is a night on Darillium?
The Medico: 24 years.
River: [she gasps] I hate you lot.
The Doctor: No, you lot don't.
