Jack

There you go! I can taste it! Oestrogen. Definitely oestrogen. Take the pill, flush it away, it enters the water cycle. Feminizes the fish. Goes all the way up into the sky then falls all the way back down onto me. Contraceptives in the rain. Love this planet. Still, at least I won't get pregnant. Never doing that again.

[Gwen is trying to convince Jack to tell Matt's parents of Matt's death]

Jack

What am I supposed to tell them? That their son died SCREWING some chick?

[After finding Carys' ex as nothing more than a pile of dust]

Jack

Tosh was right - she went straight for the ex-boyfriend. Lucky she's young; work your way through my back catalogue, we'll be here till the Sun explodes.

Jack

Once, just once, I'd like to walk into one of these tents and find it's a party, with food, and drink, and dancing; a girl crying in the corner.

Jack

Under any other circumstances, an exuberant Roman soldier would be my idea of a perfect morning.

Jack

[About Abaddon] Abaddon is the bringer of death, let's see how he goes with me. If he feeds on life, then I'm an all-you-can-eat buffet!

Jack

[draws a line on a piece of paper] Linear time [balls the piece of paper up] Screwed up time. Try drawing a straight line on that without flattening it out.

Jack

I'd rely on Martha if the world was ending. In fact... I did.

Jack

Silent types? That's okay. I used to date a guy with no mouth. Surprisingly creative.

Jack

The amazing thing about the miracle is not that no one's dying, it's not that the human race has become immortal. It's that it happened to everyone at the same time. Don't you see? It was instantaneous and that's a morphic event on a scale that I have never seen before. So whatever's happening to this planet, it is massive!
