Quotes
====================================
"Front door approach. Definitely. Always the best way. Apart from the back door approach. That's also good. Sometimes better." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"You never picked a lizard man's pocket? Come on, before he gets back." ~ Amy Pond

"Ambrose, I trust the Doctor with my life. We stick to his plan. We keep that creature safe." ~ Rory Williams

"I'm not an ape. Look at the scans. Two hearts. Totally different. Totally not ape! Remove all human germs, you remove half the things keeping me alive." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Oh, that's much better, thanks. Not got any celery, have you? No. No, not really the climate." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Their astronomers predicted the planet heading to Earth on a crash course. They a built life underground and put themselves to sleep for millennia in order to avert what they thought was the apocalypse, when in reality it was the moon coming into alignment with the Earth." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Sort of. A bit. Not really." ~ Rory Williams

Rory: Amy, I thought I'd lost you.
Amy: What, cause I was sucked into the ground? You're so clingy.

"We're not monsters. And neither are they." ~ Malohkeh

"We used to hunt apes for sport. When we came underground, they bred and polluted this planet." ~ Restac

"There are fixed points through time where things must always stay the way they are. This is not one of them. This is an opportunity. A temporal tipping point. Whatever happens today, will change future events, create its own timeline, its own reality. The future pivots around you, here, now. So do good, for humanity, and for Earth." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Well, I've got to be honest with you, son. We're in the centre of the Earth, and there are lizard men." ~ Mo

"If I could get a word in, maybe I could tell you. You give us space, we can bring new sources of energy, new methods of water supply, new medicines, scientific advances. We were a great civilisation. You provide a place for us on the surface, we'll give you knowledge and technology beyond humanity's dreams. If we work together, this planet could achieve greatness." ~ Eldane

"In future, when you talk about this, you tell people there was a chance but you were so much less than the best of humanity." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Ah, ah, Stop right there or I'll use my very deadly weapon again. One warning, that's all you get. If there can be no deal, you go back into hibernation. All of you, now. This ends here. Like I said, one warning." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"So, here's a deal. Everybody listening. Eldane, you activate shutdown. I'll amend the system, set your alarm for a thousand years time. A thousand years to sort the planet out. To be ready. Pass it on. As legend, or prophesy, or religion, but somehow make it known. This planet is to be shared." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Ah ha, super-squeaky bum time. Get ready to run for your lives. Now." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"No, this is perfect. I don't want to go. I've got what I was digging for. I can't leave when I've only just found it." ~ Nasreen

"The Angels laughed when I didn't know. Prisoner Zero knew. Everybody knows except me." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"An eye for an eye. It's never the way. Now you show your son how wrong you were, how there's another way. You make him the best of humanity, in the way you couldn't be." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Trivia
====================================
Though it apparently was not used in the episode, in Doctor Who Confidential a cut segment from the scene in which the Silurians are marching the Doctor and Nasreen to the court hall appears. In the dialogue, Nasreen expresses that she does not want to be executed "down here". The Doctor commiserates, saying that the "last time I was executed it really put a blight on the day." There are several possible events to which this could be a reference, but as this scene did not appear on screen it should not affect continuity.

The Doctor uses the phrase, "squeaky bum time", originally coined by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2003. Ferguson is the manager of football club Manchester United. Before Matt Smith became an actor, he planned to become a professional footballer and is still a fan of the sport, perhaps why the line was included.

It is revealed that the Doctor's TARDIS is at least at the centre of the explosion that started the cracks, as the Doctor fishes a piece of TARDIS out of the crack, which is burnt and destroyed. It is also a foreshadowing of The Pandorica Opens /The Big Bang.

The Silurian Council Chamber is a redress of the Temple of Peace, which had previously been used as the Platform One meeting room set from TV: The End of the World, the Senate building seen in Gridlock, the temple of the Sibylline Sisterhood in The Fires of Pompeii and the Mona Lisa chamber at the art gallery from the Sarah Jane Adventures episode Mona Lisa's Revenge.
