Mal: But it ain’t all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flying is? Well, I suppose you do, since you already know what I’m about to say. 
River: I do. But I like to hear you say it. 
Mal: Love. You can learn all the math in the ‘Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don’t love, she’ll shake you off just as sure as a turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she’s hurtin’ before she keels. Makes her a home. 


Wash: It’s ok, I’m a leaf on the wind!
Mal: What does that mean?


Y’all got on this boat for different reasons, but y’all come to the same place. So now I’m asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They’ll swing back to the belief that they can make people… better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin’.


No power in the ‘verse can stop me


I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I’ve found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Just Breathe





Oh, no! Come on, what are you doing? That’s my job!
Oh and I’m not allowed to have a career, I suppose?
Why are my hands…why do you even have handcuffs?
Spoilers.
This is not a joke. Stop this now! This is gonna kill you! I’d have a chance. You don’t have any.
You wouldn’t have a chance and neither do I! I’m timing it for the end of the countdown. There’ll be a blip in the command flow. That way it should improve our chances of a clean download.
River, please, no.
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, the future you, I mean - You turned up on my doorstep with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the singing towers. 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 have 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 re-written.
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. Spoilers.

Forest of the Dead - 4x09


Thanks
For what?
The usual, for coming when I call. 
Oh, that was you?
You’re doing a very good job acting like you don’t know me, I’m assuming there’s a reason
A fairly good one, actually
Okay, shall we do diaries, then? Where are we this time? Ah, going by your face, I’d say it’s early days for you, yeah? So Crash of the Byzantium, have we done that yet? Obviously ringing no bells…All right, oh, Picnic at Asgard. Have we done Asgard yet? Obviously not. Blimey, very early days then. Oh! Life of a time traveller, never knew it could be such hard work.

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?
