- 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.
- Ianto Jones: I have searched for the phrase "I shall walk the Earth and my hunger shall know no bounds", but I keep getting redirected to Weight Watchers.
- Owen Harper: [to Martha] You've stopped flirting with me. I mean, it's all right. I wouldn't flirt with me in my condition either, but, is it still necrophilia if I'm conscious?
- [Martha has asked Owen to tell what death is like]
- Owen Harper: There was a light, a tiny speck of light and I was rushing towards it, like down a corridor, and it got brighter, and brighter, then suddenly there were these gates... these big, pearly gates and there was this old geezer and he said, "You've been a very naughty boy!"
- 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.
- Owen Harper: I can't sleep, I can't eat, and I can't shag. And they are three of my favourite things.
- Gwen Cooper: Owen!
- Owen Harper: I'm not the same, Gwen. I came back different. Hollow. Like I'm missing something. And I do not want to be like this. Okay? I'm ready.
- 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 Harper: Jamie, they got you in for a round of chemo, have they?
- Jamie Burton: Had that, it didn't work.
- Owen Harper: So why are you here?
- Jamie Burton: They're trying to make me have it again. It didn't work though, the cancer just comes back, just makes my hair fall out. I'm gonna die. I might as well do it with eyebrows.
- [Owen projectile vomits]
- Captain Jack Harkness: Ah, that is the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen! And I know disgusting.
