John Barrowman: Captain Jack Harkness

Quotes 

• Captain Jack Harkness : [watches Rex's gunshot wound and his other injury heal]  What? That's impossible.

  Rex Matheson : You, World War II, what the hell did you do to me?

• Captain Jack Harkness : I'm from the future.

  Oswald Danes : Well now.

  Captain Jack Harkness : I come from the future.

  Oswald Danes : Then you must know. Do we make it through this day?

  Captain Jack Harkness : The future can change. It's being written right now. But one thing I do know, I've seen the stars. I have seen the universe. I have seen the human race become vast, magnificent and endless. And I wish you could see it, Oswald. I wish you could see that too. 'Cause then you'd know how small you've made your life.

• The Mother : It is said that it reflects your own self back at you. What can you see?

  Gwen Cooper : Enough guilt to last me a lifetime. But that's okay. I'm a working mother. I don't need The Blessing to tell me that.

  The Mother : And you, Jack?

  Captain Jack Harkness : I've lived so many lives. And now I can see them all. Hey. Not so bad.

• Gwen Cooper : You're the expert. What is it?

  Captain Jack Harkness : The world's been turning for over four billion years. There's so much buried under its skin. The Doctor used to say there's a Silurian mythology, Huon particles, Racnoss energy, an expansion of their hibernation matrix, maybe.

  Gwen Cooper : You don't bloody know, do you?

  Captain Jack Harkness : No.

• Gwen Cooper : It's been here since the Earth began?

  Captain Jack Harkness : Could be.

  Gwen Cooper : Yeah. Oh, it has. I can feel it. We're so used to these things being extraterrestrial, but those must be the most terrestrial thing of them all. Wow.
