Quotes 

• Captain Jack Harkness : [pointing at table of guns]  You need to know how to use these, though I hope you never have to.

  Gwen Cooper : So, do I?

  [giggles nervously] 

  Gwen Cooper : I'm sorry, it's just, I don't even kill spiders in the bath.

  Captain Jack Harkness : Nor do I. Not with a gun.

• Toshiko Sato : The little boy? You said there was a name on the card around his neck?

  Gwen Cooper : Flanagan. Tom Erasmus Flanagan.

  Captain Jack Harkness : Unusual name, that'll help. Run a full check. Births, marriages, deaths. Criminal records, passports. However long it takes, wherever he is, we'll find him.

  Owen Harper : Found him. Flanagan, Thomas Erasmus. 74 Bryneiron Terrace, Butetown.

  [pauses] 

  Owen Harper : He's in the phone book.

• Gwen Cooper : When do you get to go home? You seem to live here. You don't, do you?

  Captain Jack Harkness : Gotta be ready. The twenty-first century's when it all changes. And I hate the commute.

  Gwen Cooper : Where do you sleep?

  Captain Jack Harkness : I don't.

  Gwen Cooper : Doesn't it get lonely at night?

  [Jack doesn't answer] 

• Rhys Williams : Look, I don't mind you working all the hours, I really don't, just as long as you still want to come home at the end of it all.

  Gwen Cooper : I do. I'm here. And you're gorgeous.

• Rhys Williams : Are you in or out tonight?

  Gwen Cooper : I don't know.

  Rhys Williams : Gwen, I can live with all the Secret Squirrel stuff, but if you can't even tell me if you're coming home...

  Gwen Cooper : Well, nagging isn't helping.

  Rhys Williams : Right, well, that's me told.

• Gwen Cooper : It was as real as this is. More real. I didn't just see that little boy, I could, I could hear what he was thinking. I could feel it. Like I was lost.

  Owen Harper : Intense emotion can be part of a neurological event. Hallucinations, dementia...

  Gwen Cooper : I wasn't hallucinating, Owen, and I'm not bloody senile!

• Captain Jack Harkness : The city will be awake soon. All those people, all that energy.

  Gwen Cooper : All those ghosts

  Captain Jack Harkness : We're surrounded by them. We can't see them, we can't touch them... But there're there all right. A million shadows of human emotion. We've just got to learn to live with them.
