Quotes 

• Owen Harper : You take these things for granted. It's only when they're slipping away you realise how amazing they are. This could be the last time I see these flecks, or, you know, feel these bricks underneath my hands.

  Captain Jack Harkness : "Only in suffering do we recognise beauty".

  Owen Harper : Yeah, yeah! Who said that?

  Captain Jack Harkness : Proust.

  Owen Harper : You've read Proust?

  Captain Jack Harkness : Yeah. Well, no. We dated for a while, he was really immature.

  Owen Harper : You know, none of us know whether to take you seriously when you say those things.

  Captain Jack Harkness : When you've lived as long as I have, you don't make any more up.

• Owen Harper : But eventually that will stop too. I'll fart my last fart. God, I'm going to really miss farting. And sex.

  Captain Jack Harkness : Sex more than farting, I hope.

• Martha Jones : The time is 21:30. This is Dr. Martha Jones. Autopsy on Owen Harper, Caucasian, Age 27. Torchwood Officer 565. Time of death witnessed at approximately 20:30. Autopsy begins.

  [Martha picks up a surgical saw as Gwen, Ianto and Toshiko look on from the morgue gallery] 

  Captain Jack Harkness : [bursting in the gallery]  Stop! Nobody touches him until I get back! Is that clear?

  [Jack runs back out of the gallery] 

• Young Girl : [regarding the glove]  If I told you not to use it, would you listen?

  Captain Jack Harkness : Shouldn't you know the answer to that?

  Young Girl : I do. That's the problem.

• [Owen projectile vomits] 

  Captain Jack Harkness : Ah, that is the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen! And I know disgusting.
