[stunning Max] That one's for Ianto. Risen Mitten, Life Knife, and that old classic...Stun Gun.
“Captain, my Captain.” Do you want to know a secret? There's something moving in the dark and it's coming, Jack Harkness. It's coming for you.
[to Jack] If you're interested, I've still got that stopwatch.
So?
Think about it, lots of things you can do with a stopwatch.
Oh yeah, I can think of a few.
There's quite a list.
I'll send the others home early, see you in my office in ten.

Good question.
She had quite a few deaths in the end.
I don't know. 'Death by Torchwood'.
I'll put a lock on the door. Just in case she goes walking again.

What was [Eugene] doing out on that road?
Oh fuck knows. Categorising chevrons? He was a geek.
I just feel... like there's something going on...
Marvellous. Thank you for that Disney moment.
The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits. Of great love and small disasters. It's made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation and random shoes. It's dead ordinary and truly, truly amazing. What you've got to realize is, it's all here, now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole.

Of course bananas are far more interesting.
How much food money do I have left?

[Emma immediately grabs various confectionery items]
£12.10. You'll ruin your teeth.
You sound like my mum.
[John Ellis picks up a copy of a magazine with a woman in her underwear on the front]
Good God!
Welcome to the wonderful world of scantily-clad celebrities.
There are children around!
She's a children's TV presenter.
[John replaces the magazine with a shocked expression]
Emma's parents are a bit religious.
Oh, er...Better not tell them you saw my morning glory then,eh!
[At a scene where a man has been killed by a weevil, The Crazy Frog Ringtone sounds]
