Has Image

GWEN: What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? Not just on Earth.

JACK: I'm not doing this. I'm not giving final speeches.

GWEN: Just tell me. Anywhere in the Universe.

JACK: …I saw a firebird once. A tiny little thing, even smaller than a hummingbird. Literally made of fire. It only lives for a minute. It blazes different colours and sings. It gets so bright you have to close your eyes. And when you open them, it's gone. But the image stays behind your eyelids for longer than it was alive.

IANTO: I love you.

JACK: Don't. Ianto? Ianto. Ianto, stay with me. Ianto, stay with me, please. Stay with me. Stay with me, please.

IANTO: Hey. It was good, yeah?

JACK: Yeah.

IANTO: Don't forget me.

JACK: Never could.

IANTO: A thousand year's time you won't remember me.

JACK: Yes, I will. I promise. I will. Ianto. Ianto? Don't go. Don't leave me, please. Please don't.

RHYS: So, what do you think's causing it?

GWEN: I can't say. Top secret.

RHYS: You haven't got a clue, have you?

GWEN: No idea.

TOSH: Owen, just stay calm.

OWEN: Oh, why should I do that? Where's the fun in that? I'm gonna rage my way to oblivion.

TOSH: Please don't.

OWEN: Why? Give me one good bloody reason why. One good reason why I shouldn't keep screaming.

TOSH: Because you're breaking my heart.

RHYS: Well, if you stopped and asked me what I saw in there, instead of showing off around the place

JACK: Do I show off?

IANTO: Just a bit.

RHYS: You'd know I got out by telling them I wanted a job as a delivery boy. So rather than cock things up, I've found you a way to get in. But if you can't handle that, big boy, then you can stuff it.

JACK: This is quite homoerotic.

Meat

JACK: We go back.

JOHN: Excuse me. We more than go back. We were partners.

IANTO: In what way?

JOHN: In every way. And then some.

JACK: It was two weeks.

JOHN: Except that two weeks was trapped in a time loop, so we were together for five years. It was like having a wife.

JACK: You were the wife.

JOHN: You were the wife.

JACK: No, you were the wife.

JOHN: Oh, but I was a good wife.

GWEN: Excuse me. Have you seen a Blowfish driving a sports car?

(The woman points down the road.)

GWEN: Thank you.

(They drive on.)

WOMAN: Bloody Torchwood.

IANTO: If you're interested I've still got that stopwatch.

JACK: So?

IANTO: Well, think about it. Lots of things you can do with a stopwatch.

JACK: Oh, yeah. I could think of a few.

IANTO: There's quite a list.

JACK: I'll send the others home early. See you in my office in ten.

IANTO: That's ten minutes and counting.

OWEN: You know, we never gave it a cool name.

TOSH: I thought we called it the Resurrection gauntlet.

OWEN: Cool name.

IANTO: What about the Risen Mitten? I think it's catchy.

DOCTOR: Relax, he's a fifty first century guy. He's just a bit more flexible when it comes to dancing.

ROSE: How flexible?

DOCTOR: Well, by his time, you lot have spread out across half the galaxy.

ROSE: Meaning?

DOCTOR: So many species, so little time.

ROSE: What, that's what we do when we get out there? That's our mission? We seek new life, and, and-

DOCTOR: Dance.

BRIGADIER: Yes. You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets.

— The Brigadier, Robot

BRIGADIER: I'm delighted to hear it. Make yourself at home. We're only supposed to be a top secret security establishment. Liberty Hall, Doctor Tyler. Liberty Hall.

(The Brigadier leaves.)

YATES: Fancy a dance, Brigadier?

BRIGADIER: It's kind of you, Captain Yates. I think I'd rather have a pint.

(The telephone has woken the Brigadier, who is still in bed.)

BRIGADIER: The Doctor's gone? Gone where? Well, you should know, Corporal. I want to talk to him. What? Oh, all right then, wake up Miss Grant. I see. And I suppose she didn't leave a number either? I suppose it wouldn't do any good to ask for Captain Yates or Sergeant Benton? My helicopter? Where to? Devil's End. Yes, yes, I see. Get my car here right away. Yes, and if they do contact you, tell them to stay put.

BRIGADIER: Now I'm not going to sit here like a spare lemon waiting for the squeezer.

— The Brigadier, The Dæmons
