Quotes
====================================
"Rory! That's a relief. I thought I'd burst out of the wrong cake, again. That reminds me, there's a girl standing outside in a bikini. Could someone let her in and give her a jumper? Lucy? Lovely girl. Diabetic."  ~ The Eleventh Doctor

The 11th Doctor: It's a lot to take in, isn't it? Tiny box, huge room inside. What's that about? Let me explain.
Rory: It's another dimension.
The 11th Doctor: It's basically another dimension. What?
Rory: After what happened with Prisoner Zero, I've been reading up on all the latest scientific theories. FTL travel, parallel universes.
The 11th Doctor: I like the bit when someone says it's bigger on the inside. I always look forward to that.

"Tell me the whole plan. One day that will work." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Makes you wonder what could be so bad it doesn't actually mind us thinking it's a vampire." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"You know what's dangerous about you? It's not that you make people take risks, it's that you make them want to impress you. You make it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around."  ~ Rory

"You should be in a museum. Or in a mausoleum." ~ Rosanna

"There were cracks. Some were tiny. Some were as big as the sky. Through some we saw worlds and people, and through others we saw Silence and the end of all things. We fled to an ocean like ours, and the crack snapped shut behind us. Saturnyne was lost." ~ Rosanna

"I'm a Time Lord.  You're a big fish.  Think of the children."  ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Blimey, fish from space have never been so buxom."  ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Such determination, just to save one city. Hard to believe it's the same man that let an entire race turn to cinders and ash." ~ Rosanna

"This way, you freak. No! This way, you big, stupid, great SpongeBob. The only thing I've seen uglier than you is your Mum." ~ Rory

"Right, so one minute it's all you make people a danger to themselves, and the next it's we're not leaving you. But if one of you gets squashed or blown up or eaten, who gets the ..." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Tell me, Doctor. Can your conscience carry the weight of another dead race? Remember us. Dream of us." ~ Rosanna

Amy: Hey, look at this. Got my spaceship, got my boys. My work here is done.
Rory: Er, we are not her boys.
The 11th Doctor: Yeah, we are.
Rory: Yeah, we are.

Trivia
====================================
There was some initial confusion over the title of this story. Some media sources (as well as Matt Smith in a TV interview) used the title Vampires in Venice.

The Doctor mentions Casanova and having a bet with him. David Tennant had previously played Casanova in a television series written by Russell T Davies. Helen McCrory played Casanova's mother in a 2005 film.

The name of the species, Saturnyns, isn't spoken in the episode, though the planet Saturnyne is mentioned three times.

The Saturnynians are hiding from the Cracks and the Silence.

This episode is notable for being filmed in Croatia, and is therefore the first episode of a Doctor Who universe show to be filmed in a formerly Communist country.

When Rory asks why the psychic paper says he is Amy's eunuch, she says, "I'll explain later," a possible reference to the Moffat-penned Red Nose Day special The Curse of Fatal Death.

The Doctor erased the cracks from existence in The Big Bang, which would most likely have caused the events of this story to have never happened. Presumably, this would mean that Saturnyne was never lost, and Rosanna and her brood never came to Earth.
