   Old Canton.  His first words in the episode, said very, very   
   ominously.   
      
   AMY: Maybe he's a clone or a duplicate or something?   
      
   CANTON: I believe I can save you some time. (*Pauses and removes hat   
   out of respect*)  That most certainly _is_ the Doctor.  And he most   
   certainly is dead.
