[Owens phone rings]
This is Owen's voicemail, don't leave a message.
Nice try, Owen, I want you back at the hub immediately.
S1 E11Combat
Okay Janet [the Weevil], time for a trip out.
TTosh
You call it Janet?
Barbara just never seemed right.
MLMark Lynch
[about a Weevil] I found one on the streets. It took five of us to bring it in. Other than that, haven't got a clue. Scientific experiment gone wrong? Nuclear victim? One of the lads even reckons it's an alien. You want to know what I think?
Yeah? Go on.
MLMark Lynch
I think it's us, Owen. You and me, in a thousand years' time. This is what we become when all we have left is our rage.
Not exactly a comforting thought.
[Some men are brawling at Lynch's club]
What the hell's going on here?!
MLMark Lynch
Warm up.
"Warm up"? Who are these blokes?
MLMark Lynch
Same as us. Ordinary blokes just trying to find meaning in a world that doesn't have any.
You don't really believe that, do you?
MLMark Lynch
We're the dispossessed now, Owen. All the certainties our fathers had are gone. We're a generation of no faith - in society, in religion, or in life. All we can do is reduce ourselves to the basics.
I didn't want saving.
You want us to apologize?
For a few seconds in that cage, I felt totally at peace... And then you blunder in. Do you always know best, Jack? Is that what you believe?
S1 E12Captain Jack Harkness
I went to war when I was a boy. I was with my best friend. We got caught crossing the border over enemy lines. They tortured him, not me, because he was weaker. They made me watch him die. And they let me go.
Who were they?
The worst possible creatures you can imagine. I persuaded him to join up. I said it would be an adventure. He hadn't lived.
Have any of us?
Jack needs me!
In your dreams, Ianto. In your sad wet dreams, when you're his part time shag maybe.
World didn't end after all, did it? Good job you're a crap shot.
I was aiming for your shoulder.
TTosh
He would have been so proud that you took his name. 'Cause here you are, saving the world. To Captain Jack.
To Captain Jack.
S1 E13End of Days
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.
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.
Under any other circumstances, an exuberant Roman soldier would be my idea of a perfect morning.
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]
[About Abaddon] Abaddon is the bringer of death, let's see how he goes with me. If he feeds on life, then I'm an all-you-can-eat buffet!
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.
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.]
Jack!
[The TARDIS noise fades away as the others walk in and notice the mess]
I thought we tidied up in here.
Did any of you see Jack on your way in?
No. Why?
[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.
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.
