Quotes 

• Gwen Cooper : [Gwen to Jack as they're fleeing CIA agents after landing Dulles Airport]  Even if we can get past how do we get out? Y'know what U.S. immigration is like at the best of times.

  Rex Matheson : [Re-joining Jack and Gwen after a fistfight with other agents during which Jack and Gwen ditched him]  Hey what the hell are you waitin' around here for?

  Gwen Cooper : We're stuck! Thanks to you!

  Rex Matheson : [Aghast]  Oh my god you two are idiots, you're already landside! Take a look around you're at the baggage claim for *domestic* flights! We can just walk out of here! Now come on and follow me.

  Gwen Cooper : Hey! You get us arrested, okay, you break up my family, you nearly get Jack killed, why should we go anywhere with you?

  Rex Matheson : Because I have a *car*,

  [to Jack] 

  Rex Matheson : Here, take y'thing

  [Tosses Jack his Vortex Manipulator] 

  Captain Jack Harkness : [to uniformed security officer]  Excuse me sir, those two men over there in the black suits?

  [Points at pursuing agents] 

  Captain Jack Harkness : I think I overheard them talking about a bomb.

• Rex Matheson : Hey, uh, I just remembered, there's one final piece of legislation necessary to make this a full and proper rendition. And according to recent amendments to U.S. Code Section 3184 and Section 3185 in transferring prisoners from air side to land side, the law clearly states that, ah, once they touch down on American soil, they have free and easy access to one very important thing.

  Gwen Cooper : And what's that?

  Rex Matheson : Bullshit.
