Ianto Jones quotes from Torchwood

Jack

What's is it with you? Ever since Owen died, all you've done is agree with him!

Ianto

I was brought up not to speak ill of the dead. Even if they do still do most of their talking for themselves.

Ianto

Wait! I just saw Jack.

Gwen

[surprised] Where?

Ianto

In the film!

Gwen

Ianto, hi. I'm sorry. I didn't realize--

Ianto

Doesn't matter.

Gwen

I wouldn't have come in if I'd known--

Jack

Always room for one more. We could have used you an hour ago for naked hide-and-seek.

Ianto

He cheats. He always cheats

Jack

And you are?

Ianto

Jones, Ianto Jones.

Jack

Nice to meet you Jones Ianto Jones.

Jack

Thanks for the assistance.

Ianto

Any time. By the way, love the coat!

Jack

Quite excitable!

Ianto

Must be your aftershave.

Jack

I never wear any.

Ianto

You smell like that naturally?

Jack

Fifty first century pheromones, you people have no idea!

Ianto

Like a butler! I could be a butler!

Jack

We don't need a butler.

Ianto

Excuse me, dried egg on your collar!

Jack

It was a busy week!

Ianto

What exactly is your plan?

Jack

I'm gonna be the decoy.

Ianto

And it won't rip you to shreds?

Jack

Dinosaurs? Had them for breakfast. Had to. Only source of food protein after the asteroid crashed. Long story.

Jack

Come back with me. I've got somewhere nice and big where you can fly around.

Ianto

So you'll let the pterodactyl in and not me?!

Jack

I need a guard dog.

Ianto

I could be that!

Jack

[irritated] Okay, this has to stop!

Ianto

No, listen to me-

Jack

I don't have time for this! Look, I don't care what your problem is, I want you out of this city by sunrise! There is no place for you here/! Go back to London, find yourself another life! Keep stalking me, and I'll wipe your memory!

Ianto

No, but the thing is-

Jack

Look, any conversation between us, no matter what the subject, is over, finished, done, forever! I'm getting back behind the wheel of that car; if you're still standing in the road, I'm gonna drive thorough you! [walks away]

Ianto

So you're not gonna help me catch this pterodactyl, then? [Jack turns around]

Ianto

Do you ever think that one day your luck'll run out? That you won't come back?

Jack

I'm a fixed point in time and space. That's what the Doctor says. I think that means it's forever.

Ianto

So, one day you'll see me die... of old age... and just keep going?

Jack

Yeah...

Ianto

We'd better make the most of it then.

Jack

Suppose...

Ianto

Like right now?

Jack

Ianto, the world could be ending.

Ianto

World's always ending. And I have missed that coat.

Jack

Rhys, do you want to take the car down to those shops by the Wharf? We need some discs for these things. Should take about 20 minutes.

Ianto

[quickly] Thirty.

Jack

30 minutes.

Rhys

I'll go later; the beans are almost done.

Jack

Beans are almost done.

Ianto

Bloody beans.

And who's the queer?

Ianto

Oi! [beat] It's not 1965 anymore.

He's queer. I can smell it.

Rhys

Took me a while to get used to those things [the filming contacts].

Ianto

[shoots Rhys a questioning glance] What? You've used the lenses?

Rhys

Yeah. That's why Gwen had 'em.

Gwen

I only took them home for a bit of fun.

Ianto

Fun?

Rhys

You know. Fun.

Ianto

[realising] Yeah, well; been there done that. It is fun.

Ianto

I've only just scraped the surface, haven't I?

Jack

Ianto, that's all there is.

Ianto

No. You pretend that's all there is.

Ianto

[holds up gun] If there's a virus, there must be an anti-virus. Release it now, or I'll blow a hole in that tank, and we'll all die together.

Jack

[Joins Ianto, holds up his gun at the tank] You've made your point now stop this and we can talk!

You are dying. Even now.

Jack

What's that noise? What's it doing? We gotta get you out of here. I can survive anything, but you can't!

Ianto

It's too late. I've breathed the air.

Jack

[desperate, begins crying] There's gotta be something, there's gotta be an antidote!

You said you would fight.

Jack

Then I take it back, alright? I take it all back, but not him!

Jack

No! No, no, no, no, no. Ianto? No, no, no...

Jack

It's all my fault.

Ianto

No it's not...

Jack

Don't speak, save your breath.

Ianto

[crying] I love you.

Jack

[shakes head] Don't. Ianto? Ianto? Ianto, stay with me, Ianto, stay with me please. [shakes, desperate] Stay with me, stay with me.

Ianto

Hey, it was...Good, yeah?

Jack

Yeah.

Ianto

Don't forget me.

Jack

[shakes head] Never could.

Ianto

In a thousand years time, you won't remember me.

Jack

Yes I will Ianto. I promise, I will.

Jack

Ianto? Ianto? Don't go, don't leave me, please. Please, don't--

You will die. And tomorrow, your people will deliver the children.

Jack

[Jack looks up at the 456, the picture of tragedy: he has tears running down his face and is clutching Ianto's body. He places a gentle kiss on Ianto's lips and falls beside him.]
