CARTER: Well, that's her all right. Melody Pond, the woman who kills the Doctor.
[Hitler's work study]
RIVER: Well, now, enough of all that. Down to business.
(She has somehow got Hitler's gun.)
DOCTOR: Oh, hello. I thought we were getting married.
RIVER: I told you I'm not a wedding person.
RONALD : Doctor, what's she doing?
DOCTOR: What she's programmed to.
RORY: Where'd she get the gun?
DOCTOR: Hello, Benjamin.
RIVER [memory]: Hello, Benjamin!
(She picked it up from the chair.)
RIVER: You noticed.
(She tries to fire it, but the chambers are empty.)
DOCTOR: Of course I noticed.
(He took the bullets out while she was regenerating.)
DOCTOR: As soon as I knew you were coming, I tidied up a bit.
RIVER: I know you did.
RIVER [memory]: Watch out that bow tie.
(She spotted the gun in the fruit bowl.)
DOCTOR: I know you know.
(He turns the bowl and she points a banana at him instead.)
RIVER: Goodness, is killing you going to take all day?
DOCTOR: Why? Are you busy?
RIVER: Oh, I'm not complaining.
(She grabs a letter opener and he sonicks it away.)
DOCTOR: If you were in a hurry, you could've killed me in the cornfield.
RIVER: We'd only just met. I'm a psychopath. I'm not rude.
(She grabs Zimmerman's automatic, but the Doctor has the clip.)
Isabella : You are not a psychopath. Why would she be a psychopath?
RIVER: Oh, Mummy, Mummy, pay attention. I was trained and conditioned for one purpose. I was born to kill the Doctor.
DOCTOR: Demons Run, remember? This is what they were building. My bespoke psychopath.
RIVER: I'm all yours, sweetie.
(She kisses him lightly.)
DOCTOR: Only River Song gets to call me that.
RIVER: And who's River Song?
DOCTOR: An old friend of mine.
RIVER: Stupid name. Oh, look at that. Berlin on the eve of war. A whole world about to tear itself apart. Now that's my kind of town. Mum, Dad, don't follow me. And, yes, that is a warning.
DOCTOR: No warning for me then?
RIVER: No need, my love. The deed is done and so are you.
(The Doctor staggers.)
AMY: Doctor, what's wrong?
DOCTOR: What have you done? River!
RIVER: Oh, River, River, River. More than a friend, I think.
DOCTOR: What have you done?
RIVER: It was never going to be a gun for you, Doctor. The man of peace who understands every kind of warfare, except, perhaps, the cruellest.
RIVER [memory]: I'm all yours, sweetie.
RIVER: Kiss, kiss.
(River jumps out of the broken window.)
RORY: What's wrong with you? What's she done to you?
DOCTOR: Poisoned me. But I'm fine. Well, no, I'm dying, but I've got a plan.
Isabella : What plan?
DOCTOR: Not dying. See? Fine.
[Teselecta]
ANITA: Scanning him. He's dying all right.
JIM: But he can't be.
[Hitler's work study]
RONALD : Okay, what do we do? How do we help you?
DOCTOR: Take this. The Tardis can home in on it. Now, go. Get after her.
(The Doctor gives Isabella the screwdriver. Ronald looks out of the first floor window onto the street.)
[Wilhelmstrasse]
(An officer and five soldiers stop River at gunpoint.)
OFFICER: Halt!
RIVER: Hello, boys.
[Hitler's work study]
AMY: You said the smoke was deadly.
DOCTOR: No, no, the smoke's fine. The poison will kill me first. Now, get after River!
Isabella : I don't understand, okay? One minute she's going to marry you and then she's going to kill you.
DOCTOR: Ah, well, she's been brainwashed. It all makes sense to her. Plus, she is a woman. Oh, shut up. I'm dying.
[Tardis]
DOCTOR: Extractor fans on! Oh, that works.
[Wilhelmstrasse]
