Sandra Pullman and Jack Halford (ghost) in “The One That Got Away”

[Re-appearance of Jack Halford as a ghost]

Sandra Pullman

I can't leave.

Jack Halford (ghost)

Well, you can't stay here for ever.

Sandra Pullman

I belong here, Jack.

Jack Halford (ghost)

You're afraid to leave, that's your problem. You're comfortable, Sandra. Never get comfortable.

Sandra Pullman

What we do here is important, you said that.

Jack Halford (ghost)

Of course it's important. And it'll be important long after you're gong. But you built the ship, you don't have to go on steering it for ever. What's the alternative? You going to stay here till you get your pension? Then what? Take up gardening? Maybe you're going to move to the other side of that window and become another one of those boring old bastards out there. You're going to take the job, Sandra, we both know that. Let's not kid ourselves.

Sandra Pullman

I miss you, Jack.
