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!
“Rendition” · Season 4, Episode 2
In this episode: Gwen Cooper (5), Jack Harkness (3), Rex Matheson (2), Rhys Williams (1), Esther Drummond (1), Oswald Danes (1), Jilly Kitzinger (1), Dr. Juarez (1)
Dr. Juarez. You have something that I want.
You sound like my ex-husband.
So, does he call wanting drugs and sex?
Yes.
Good man, but for now, I'll just settle for the drugs.
Water? I'm American, too! Can't I contribute to our global cultural hegemony with a nice frosty cola?!
There's a good reason the churches are empty. People don't want to hear about Heaven. They'd rather hear from the man who has gazed into Hell itself, and that's you. Frankly I think if the Devil himself were to walk this earth, he'd need representation.
If the Devil himself walked this earth, he'd surely be working in PR.
[after Lyn knocks the antidote to Jack's poison out of Gwen's hand]
That was your last chance.
LLyn
Yeah? And what're you gonna do about it? If you're the best England's got to offer, then God help you.
I'm Welsh. [punches her]
JJim
It's the story of Tithonus. One of the Greek goddesses asks Zeus to make Tithonus immortal, but she forgot to ask for eternal youth. He became so ancient and decrepit that he eventually shrank into a cicada. He begged for death.
This is no miracle. This just, this just means that sooner or later we're all going to hell.
What sort of getaway car is this? I thought you Americans all had these big SUVs. This is rubbish!
[after seeing Lyn's body with her head twisted around 180 degrees]
What was that? Was that Lyn? What the hell is going on?
Welcome to Torchwood.
This thing that's happening to the world, this miracle, it must have something to do with you.
Great, so it's my fault?
Can't be a coincidence, Jack.
Of course it's not a coincidence. Doesn't mean to say it's his fault.
Rhys, are you defending me?
It's like we all got switched, isn't it? Nothing to do with Jack if the wires got crossed. Everything mortal becomes immortal, so everything immortal becomes mortal. See? I can be useful.
Looking a little bit worried there, Rex, like this might all be your fault. You put us on this plane. There's no orange tube.
Is there something between you two?
What?
You and World War Two.
I'm married with a baby.
Yeah, married, baby, whatever. You two argue like people who are real close.
Yeah, well, did you have a thing with your poisoner friend over there?
Yeah, we did.
Oh, you did?
But we got on each other's nerves.
Really? Can't imagine.
