Doctor Who: River and Doctor kiss one more time

River: There has to be another way. Use the Tardis. Use something! Save her, yes, but for God’s sake, be sensible! [She goes to slap him and he catches her wrist] How are you even doing that? I’m not really here.

The Doctor: You’re always here to me. And I always listen. And I can always see you.

River: Then why didn’t you speak to me?

The Doctor: Because I thought it would hurt too much

.River: I believe I could have coped.

The Doctor: No. I thought it would hurt me. And I was right [He kisses her passionately] Since no one in this room can see you, God knows how that looked.[Vastra, Jenny and Strax look awkwardly at each other]

The Doctor: There is a time to live, and a time to sleep. You are an echo, River. Like Clara, like all of us in the end, my fault, I know. But you should have faded by now.

River: It’s hard to leave, when you haven’t said goodbye.

The Doctor: Then tell me, because I don’t know – how do I say it?

River: There’s only one way I’d accept – if you ever loved me, say it like you’re going to come back.

The Doctor: Well then. See you around, Professor River Song.

River: Til the next time, Doctor.

The Doctor: Don’t wait up

.River: Oh, and there’s one more thing.

The Doctor: Isn’t there always?

River: I was mentally linked with Clara. If she’s really dead, then how can I still be here?

The Doctor: Okay. How?

River: Spoilers! Goodbye, sweetie.
