Quotes 

• Captain Jack Harkness : What is it with you? Ever since Owen died all you do is agree with him!

  Ianto Jones : I was brought up never to speak ill of the dead, even if they still do most of the talking for themselves.

• Captain Jack Harkness : [flipping through wedding dress catalogue]  No, I like that one. Good choice.

  Ianto Jones : I estimated Gwen's size from the Hub's security laser scans. As you know, my dad was a master tailor. He could size a man's inside leg measurement by his stride across the shop's threshold.

  Captain Jack Harkness : Ah, the family eye. Remind me to test it sometime.

  Ianto Jones : Well, if, uh, later on...

  Owen Harper : Jack!

  Ianto Jones : Yeah, brilliant. Like that one.

  Owen Harper : We've got a problem.

• Captain Jack Harkness : [having splattered the nostrovite all over Rhys, who's holding a chainsaw]  That whole Evil Dead thing looks good on you, Rhys.

• Captain Jack Harkness : What I don't understand is if people are going to make such a big deal about getting married, why come all the way out into the middle of nowhere where no one can find you to do it? That, to me, suggests inner conflict.

  Ianto Jones : It's because the happy couple want everything to be perfect.

  Owen Harper : An alien egg in your belly and its mother coming to rip you open. Yeah, perfect.

• Gwen Cooper : What will you do while I'm gone?

  Captain Jack Harkness : Oh, the usual. Pizza, Ianto, save the world a couple of times.

• Captain Jack Harkness : Passed the eggs on in the bite. Some species do that. A kind of sneaky way of keeping the bloodline going. Boy, would Darwin have a field day if he'd made it to space.

  Gwen Cooper : [sarcastically]  Mmm! Yeah, great!
