Quotes 

• Captain Jack Harkness : Who the hell are you?

  Mickey Smith : What do you mean who the hell am I? Who the hell are you?

• Mickey Smith : [after the Doctor explains why the TARDIS resembles a Police Public Call Box]  But that's what I meant, there's no police boxes any more so doesn't it get noticed?

  The Doctor : Ricky, let me tell you something about the human race. You put a mysterious blue box slap-bang in the middle of town, what do they do? Walk past it. Now stop your nagging. Let's go and explore.

• Mickey Smith : [after hearing Margaret's plan to destroy the planet with her Nuclear power plant]  But why would she do that? A great big explosion, she'd only end up killing herself.

  Margaret Blaine : She's got a name, you know.

  Mickey Smith : She's not even a she, she's a thing.

  The Doctor : Oh, but she's clever.

  [pulls a board off the model plant; flips it over to reveal a network of complex circuitry; studying it] 

  The Doctor : Fantastic!

  Captain Jack Harkness : [looks at the board; impressed]  Is that a tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator?

  The Doctor : Couldn't have put it better myself.

• Rose Tyler : We've got a prisoner. The police box is really a police box.

  Margaret Blaine : You're not just police, though. Since you're taking me to my death, that makes *you* my executioners. Each and every one of you.

  Mickey Smith : Well *you* deserve it.

  Margaret Blaine : [looks straight at him]  You're very quick to say so. And you're very quick to soak your hands in my blood. Which makes you better than me how, exactly?

  [he says nothing] 

  Margaret Blaine : Long night ahead.

  [walks away & sits down; finally] 

  Margaret Blaine : Let's see who can look me in the eye.

  [looks piercingly at each person; none hold eye contact for more than a few seconds; & the Doctor barely even looks up from his work] 

• Mickey Smith : So, what are you doing in Cardiff? And who's Jumpin' Jack Flash? I mean, I don't mind you hanging out with Big Ears up here...

  The Doctor : Oy!

  Mickey Smith : Look in the mirror. But this guy, I don't know, he's kinda...

  Captain Jack Harkness : Handsome?

  Mickey Smith : More like cheesy.

  Captain Jack Harkness : Early 21st Century slang, is cheesy good or bad?

  Mickey Smith : It's bad.

  Captain Jack Harkness : But bad means good, isn't that right?

  The Doctor : Are you saying I'm not handsome?
