Gwen

Emma's parents are a bit religious.

Oh, er...Better not tell them you saw my morning glory then,eh!

you're a united front now. Ianto, hiding your cyber girlfriend in the basement. Owen, so strong he stepped into the cage with a weevil waiting to get mauled. Toshiko, your alien lesbian gave you a pendant.

Gwen

Jack, calm down, I just need to save Rhys.

yeah, 'cause you're so in love with Rhys you spend all that time in Owen's bed.

Gwen

I've got to get Rhys back!

Yea, you're so in love with Rhys, you spend half your time in Owen's bed. [Gwen punches Jack]

Gwen

So, what sort of vision did you have? We all saw people we loved, asking us to open the Rift. Who did you see?

Nothing. I didn't see anyone.

Gwen

Jack? What visions would have tempted you?

[sighs] The right kind of Doctor.

[Jack gets up and walks out of the room. He walks through the Hub, then stops. He walks across the room, staring at something. He bends over with a wide grin on his face in front of the hand in the jar. The hand is bubbling and glowing. The sound of a TARDIS materialising fills the room and blows paper around. Jack grins and runs offscreen (later continuing to Utopia). Gwen walks in as we hear the TARDIS start to dematerialise.]

Gwen

Jack!

[The TARDIS noise fades away as the others walk in and notice the mess]

I thought we tidied up in here.

Gwen

Did any of you see Jack on your way in?

No. Why?

Gwen

[Arms folded, she turns to face the direction the noise came from] Something's taken him. Jack's gone.

"And I heard but did not understand and I said, 'Master, what is the end of all these things?' And he said, 'Go, Daniel, for the things are closed up and sealed until the end of time.'" Daniel 12, verse 10.

Gwen

Sounds a bit close for comfort.

This machine's on the blink, keeps losing power. [to Ianto] Sorry, don't let me stop your portents of doom. Or have you finished?

No. Plenty more where that came from. Abaddon, the Great Devourer, who'll lead the world into shadow.

Yeah, thanks, Ianto. I could do without the superstition; you people love any story that denies the randomness of existence.

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better.

Do you think this is the end of the world?

Gwen

Oh, Andy, don't be silly. Do you think the world's gonna end on your shift?

I've seen you use that smile on a lot of people.

Gwen

What smile?

That smile you use to reassure people, when deep down, you know everything's gone to shit.

[scathingly] You're a united front now. Toshiko, the poor girl who'll screw any passing alien that gives her a pendant. Owen, so strong he gets into a cage with a weevil, desperate to be mauled. Ianto, hiding a cyber-girlfriend in the basement - your three comrades here pumped bullets into her, remember?

Gwen

I've got to get Rhys back.

Yeah, 'cause you're so in love with Rhys, you spend half your time in Owen's bed.

Gwen

[punches Jack] Fuck you!

Gwen

The visions we had. We all saw people we loved. What did you see?

Nothing. There was nothing.

Gwen

Jack? What would have tempted you? What visions would have convinced you to open the Rift?

The right kind of Doctor.

Gwen

Jack?

Where are they with those coffees?

[Jack leaves. He walks through the Hub, then stops. He bends over with a wide grin on his face in front of the hand in the jar. The hand is bubbling and glowing. The sound of a TARDIS materializing fills the room and blows paper around. Jack grins and runs offscreen (later continuing to Utopia). Gwen walks in as we hear the TARDIS start to materialize.]

Gwen

Jack! Jack!

[The TARDIS noise fades away as the others walk in and notice the mess]

Gwen

Did you see Jack on your way in?

No.

I thought we tidied up in here. What's the matter?

Gwen

He was just here. Something's taken him, and Jack's gone.

Gwen

Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?

[Old Woman points in the direction in which Torchwood are heading]

Gwen

[serious] Thank you. [driving away]

OWOld Woman

Bloody Torchwood.

You said we weren't allowed to use that again.

It's just a mind probe.

Remember what happened last time you used it?

That was different. And that species has extremely high blood pressure.

Oh, right, their heads must explode all the time.

[Gwen looks up, wide-eyed in shock]

Gwen

Jack, you can't do this. What if you're wrong? If she is human, it'll kill her.

I'm not wrong. We have to find out what she is.

Take it easy, Jack. Stop at the first sign of trouble.

Or at the first sign of explodiinggg. [grimaces and mimes a seizure].

[Snaps and points at Ianto] Hey!

BBeth

Will it hurt?

Yeah.

BBeth

Your bedside manners are rubbish.

Gwen

You should see his manners in bed. They're atrocious, apparently, so I've heard.

Oh they are. I remember this one time...

[Jack clears his throat]
