River:Doctor please listen to me,At least hear me
The Doctor: Now, if I don't come back-and I might not-
River: Doctor!
The Doctor: -go to the TARDIS. The fast return protocol should be on. She'll take you home then shut herself down.
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 stops her} 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} Since nobody else in this room can see you, God knows how that looked. There is a time to live and a time to sleep. You are an echo, River. Like Clara, like all of this. 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 would 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 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.
