S1 E4Cyberwoman

I'm going back in to save her. Anybody tries to stop me, I'll shoot them.

Ianto, put the gun down.

You make a threat like that, you better be prepared to follow it through. See? You disobey me now, I really will shoot you.

Get off me.

You want to go back in there? You go in to finish the job. If she's still alive, you execute her.

No way.

You brought this down on us. You hid her. You hid yourself from us. Now it's time for you to stand as part of the team.

Jack.

The girl you loved has gone. Your loyalty is to us now.

You can't order me to do that.

You execute her, or I'll execute you both!

I won't do it. You can't make me. You like to think you're a hero, but you're the biggest monster of all.

What the hell was that?

What?

Snoggin' me.

Last kiss for the condemned man.. Embarrassing given we haven't been killed.. What? It's not like I fancy you or anything!

I was on top of you. I could feel your hard-on.

Yeah. Well. You didn't exactly struggle, did ya?

I'm not giving up on her. I love her. Can you understand that, Jack? Haven't you ever loved anyone?

You need to figure out who's side you're on here, because if you don't know, you're not gonna make it out of this alive.

You could have saved her! You're worse than anything locked up down there. One day I'll have the chance to save you and I'll watch you suffer and die.

[Ianto finds Dr. Tanizaki dead and half converted]

Oh, god! Oh, my God! What happened?!

LLisa

His upgrade failed.

Was it an accident? [stops] Tell me you didn't do this...!

LLisa

I wanted to repay him for helping me - by removing the weaknesses of his humanity.

[horrified] What have you done? You've killed an innocent man!

LLisa

It's all right.

It's not all right! They're going to come looking for me in a minute! If they see the body, If they find out what we've been doing--

LLisa

I can deal with them.

Don't you go near them!

[pointing his gun at Ianto] Did you know that thing was down there?

I put her there.

[enraged] You hid a Cyberman within Torchwood?! And you didn't tell us?! What else are you keeping from us?!

[scathingly] Like you care. I clear up your shit, no questions asked, and that's the way you like it. When did you last ask me anything about my life? [pause] Her name's Lisa. She's my girlfriend.

Why didn't you tell us? We could have helped you.

Torchwood exists to destroy alien threats. Why would I tell you about her?

[angry] A little loyalty, perhaps?

My loyalty's to her. She worked for Torchwood. She was caught up in the battle. I owe it to Lisa, we owe it to her, to find a cure.

Ianto, you have to believe me, there is no cure. There never will be. Those who are converted stay that way. Your girlfriend will not be the exception.

You can't know that for sure!

Look, you need to know what's happening here. Because this is where these things start, small decisions that become mass slaughter. These creatures regain a foothold by exploiting human weakness. Then they take a base, rebuild their forces, and before you know it, the Cyber race is spreading out across the universe, erasing worlds, assimilating populations, all because of the tiny beginnings here. We need to stop her together!

You're not listening to me. The conversion was never completed.

She already tried to kill Gwen. You think she's gonna stop there? There is no turning back for her now.

I'm not giving up on her. I love her. Can you understand that, Jack? Haven't you ever loved anyone?

...You need to figure out whose side you're on here, because if you don't know, you're not going to make it out of this alive.

S1 E5Small Worlds

[talking about his former love, Estelle's, visions of fairies]

She calls them fairies; I don't.

What do you call them?

Never really had a proper name.

Why not?

Something from the dawn of time, how could you possibly put a name to that?

Are we talking alien?

Worse.

How come?

Because they're part of us. Part of our world, yet we know nothing about them. So we pretend to know what they look like. We see them as happy, we imagine they have tiny little wings and are bathed in moonlight.

But they're not?

No. Think dangerous. Think something you can only half-see, like a glimpse, like something out of the corner of your eye. With a touch of myth, a touch of the spirit world, a touch of reality all jumbled together, old moments and memories that are frozen in amongst it. Like debris, spinning around a ring planet, tossing, turning, whirling... backwards and forwards through time.

[after the fairies kill Estelle]

It wasn't your dad that was in love with her all those years ago, was it? It was you.

We once made a vow... that we'd be with each other till we died.

S1 E6Countrycide

I hate the countryside. It's dirty, it's unhygienic. And what is that smell?

That would be grass.

It's disgusting.

You're used to this, aren't you? That facial expression you all share. When things get a bit, out of control. Like you enjoy it. Like you get a high from the danger.

You want me to apologise for that?

Don't you ever wonder how long you can survive before you go mad, or get killed, or lose a loved one?

It's worth the risk, to protect people!

And who protects us?!

God, I'm hungry.

You should've had that cheeseburger.

Not that hungry.

No other race in the universe goes camping. Celebrate your uniqueness!

[while cleaning Gwen's shotgun wound] There's going to be a certain amount of residue, so just lie back and think of Torchwood.
