Quotes 

• Gwen Cooper : [mockingly]  Oh my God, Severn Bridge. I'm going into England. Farewell forever.

  Rhys Williams : [mock-concerned]  Good luck. Have you got currency?

  Gwen Cooper : Yes, and I've had my injections.

• Rupesh Patanjali : [after Jack and Ianto go into the headquarters]  What's in there?

  Gwen Cooper : Big science-fiction superbase. Honestly, see you.

• Gwen Cooper : Who's back?

  Captain Jack : What's he doing?

  Ianto Jones : Waiting, just like you said. He's been there 20 minutes.

  Captain Jack : Persistent.

  Ianto Jones : Good sign.

  Captain Jack : Dogmatic.

  Ianto Jones : Always a plus.

  Gwen Cooper : Oh, Christ, never work with a couple, you two talk like twins!

• Rupesh Patanjali : The thing is we've all seen it now, the past few years - alien life. Even though half the world's still denying it. For me...

  [sighs] 

  Rupesh Patanjali : . Okay... it's the suicides. The past few years suicide rates have doubled, and that's ever since the first alien. My first case, my first death was a suicide. Do you know why she did it? Because she'd written all these letters, she'd been a Christian all her life, and then alien life appears. She wrote this bit, she said - "It's like science has won."

  Gwen Cooper : Loss of faith.

  Rupesh Patanjali : More than that. She said she saw her place in the universe, and it was tiny. She died because she thought she was nothing.

  Gwen Cooper : I went through that. Even now I get terrified. But at the same time, it is brilliant, and beautiful, and completely bloody magic.
