Swanson : Are you always this dressy for a murder investigation?
Captain Jack Harkness : What, you'd rather me naked?
Swanson : God help me, the stories are true.
-
Swanson : [into speaker phone] Alright Captain Jack. Just say that one more time, nice and clear.
Captain Jack Harkness : We're locked in our base and we can't get out.
[crowd of police around phone start to laugh]
Captain Jack Harkness : OK, you've had your fun. Now listen Detective Swanson, one of our team is in danger.
Swanson : [to the other police] Alright you lot, back to work.

Swanson : Torchwood walks all over this city like you own it. Now these people are paying the price. Ordinary people, ripped apart, with your name written in their own blood. From where I'm standing, you did this, Captain Jack Harkness. You did it.

Swanson : [Picking up phone] Better not be wasting my time.
Captain Jack Harkness : As a matter of fact I was wondering if you could do us a favour.
Swanson : What, the humble police helping the mighty Torchwood? Why don't you help yourselves like you normally do?
Captain Jack Harkness : Because we can't.
Swanson : Why's that?
Captain Jack Harkness : We're sort of busy.
Swanson : Well I'm busy too. Try someone else.
Captain Jack Harkness : No no no no no. It's, it's, it's just because we, we can't at the moment because we're sort of... stuck.
Swanson : In what way?
Captain Jack Harkness : We're locked in.
Swanson : You're locked in?
Captain Jack Harkness : Just a bit.
Swanson : Locked in where?
Captain Jack Harkness : Um, in our own base.
Swanson : You're locked inside your own base?
Captain Jack Harkness : And it's not funny.
Swanson : [gestures over another officer, trying not to laugh] And, um, how am I supposed to help you, exactly?
Captain Jack Harkness : We need a book of poetry.
[Swanson laughs]
Captain Jack Harkness : It's not funny.
