She's going out with a frozen soldier from 1918.
Nobody's perfect.

In his own time. [pause] Would you go back to yours, if you could?

I left home a long time ago, I don't know where I really belong. Maybe that doesn't matter anymore.
[perches on the edge of Jack's desk] I know you get lonely.
Going home wouldn't fix that. Being here, I've seen things I never dreamt I'd see, loved people people I never would have know if I'd stayed where I was. [looks directly at Ianto] And I wouldn't change that for the world.
[Ianto kisses Jack]
So, what do you want to do now?

That's why we gotta stop it.
[about Tommy] You've fallen for him, haven't you?
I can be myself with him. I don't have to pretend.
No, I understand. I, I didn't think you had some weird fetish for defrosted men. [both laugh] I just, um, don't want you to get hurt, that's all. If you have to say goodbye.
