Quotes

Captain Jack Harkness : How are you, Ianto?
Ianto Jones : All the better for having you back, sir.
Captain Jack Harkness : Could we maybe drop the "sir" now? I mean, while I was away, I was thinking. Maybe we could, you know, when this is all done: dinner, a movie...
Ianto Jones : Are you asking me out on a date?
Captain Jack Harkness : Interested?
Ianto Jones : [scoffs] Well, as long as it's not in an office. Some fetishes should be kept to yourself...

Captain John Hart : You've put on weight!
Captain Jack Harkness : You're losing your hair.

Captain John Hart : Captain John Hart, note the sarcasm.
Captain Jack Harkness : Hey, I worked my way up through the ranks!

Captain Jack Harkness : So, uh, how was rehab?
Captain John Hart : Rehabs. Plural.

Captain John Hart : [grins] Murder.
Captain Jack Harkness : [laughs] You went to murder rehab?
Captain John Hart : I know, ridiculous! The odd kill, who does it hurt?
Captain Jack Harkness : [sobers] You clean now?
Captain John Hart : Yeah, kicked everything. Living like a priest.

Toshiko Sato : Where were you?
Captain Jack Harkness : [smiles] I found my Doctor.
Owen Harper : Did he fix you?
Captain Jack Harkness : What's to fix? You don't mess with this level of perfection.
Ianto Jones : [softly] Are you going back to him?
Captain Jack Harkness : I came back for you.
[pause]
Captain Jack Harkness : All of you.

Captain Jack Harkness : Looks like we're going to have to go through every drawer, bin and plant-pot.
Ianto Jones : Right, OK. I'll do this floor, don't want you getting over excited. You take the roof, you're good on roofs.
[pause; Jack starts to leave]
Ianto Jones : Jack? Why are we helping him?
Captain Jack Harkness : He's a reminder of my past, I want him gone.
[pause]
Captain Jack Harkness : [Jack asked a Ianto on a date earlier] By the way, was that a yes?
Ianto Jones : Yes, yes...

Captain Jack Harkness : [Introducing the team] Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Toshiko Sato, Owen Harper, meet...
Captain John Hart : Captain John Hart.
Captain Jack Harkness : We go back.
Captain John Hart : Excuse me, we more than go back; we were partners.
Ianto Jones : [Softly] In what way?
Captain John Hart : In every way, and then some.
Captain Jack Harkness : It was two weeks.
Captain John Hart : Except that two weeks was trapped in a time loop, so we were together for five years. It was like having a wife.
Captain Jack Harkness : You were the wife.
Captain John Hart : *You* were the wife.
Captain Jack Harkness : No, you were the wife.
Captain John Hart : Oh, but I was a *good* wife!

Ianto Jones : [about Jack's WristComm] Woah, that never beeps.
Captain Jack Harkness : That's what I was thinking.

Captain John Hart : [via Hologram] I can't believe I got the answering machine. What can you be doing that's more important than me? Anyway, you've probably traced the energy shift, found the body - all me. Sorry about the mess, bill me for the clean up. Now, Drinks! Retrolog the transmission coordinates, that's where I am. And hurry up, work to do.
[American accent]
Captain John Hart : "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."

Captain Jack Harkness : Torchwood. Outside the government, beyond the police, tracking down alien life on earth and arming the human race against the future. The 21st century is when everything changes... and Torchwood... is ready!

Captain Jack Harkness : Hey kids, did ya miss me?

Captain John Hart : Ho, ho, do you have a team name? I love team names; go on.
Captain Jack Harkness : Torchwood.
Captain John Hart : Oh. Not Excalibur? Uh, Blizzard? Bikini Cops? No? Torchwood. Oh, dear.
-
Captain Jack Harkness : [about John] Three rules. One, don't believe anything he say. Two, always keep him in front of you. And three, under no circumstances let him kiss you.
Gwen Cooper : As if I would!
Captain John Hart : Has he got to the "no kissing" rule yet? He only invented that one because he wants me all to himself.
-
Captain Jack Harkness : Oh yeah, loving that 'officey' feel. I always get excited in these places. To me they're exotic: office romances, photocopying your butt. Well, maybe not your butt, although, as we're here, why don't we photo...
Ianto Jones : [interrupting] The rift was active at these co-ordinates approximately 200 feet above ground. That means this floor, or the roof.

Captain John Hart : Oh. By the way. Meant to tell you, I found Gray.
Gwen Cooper : Who's Gray?
Captain Jack Harkness : It's nothing.
[sighs]
Captain Jack Harkness : Let's get back to work.
