Gwen:
Couldn't have just chosen a pub, could you?

Rhys:
It's bloody freezing! My feet!

Jack:
I missed that. The Welsh complaining. [to Gwen] You look good.

Gwen:
I look huge.

Rhys:
[proudly] She's bloody gorgeous.

[Gwen laughs. Jack manages to smile]

Gwen:
You okay?

Jack:
Yeah.

Gwen:
Did it work?

Jack:
Travelled all sorts of places. This planet is too small. The whole world is like a graveyard.

Gwen:
Come back with us.

Jack:
[shakes his head] Haven't travelled far enough, yet. Got a lot of dirt to shake off my shoes. [looks up at the sky] And right now, there's a cold fusion cruiser surfing the ion reefs just at the edge of the solar system, just waiting to open its transport dock. [looks at Gwen] I just need to send a signal.

[Gwen holds up a finger, and takes Jack's Vortex Manipulator out of her jacket pocket]

Gwen They found it in the wreckage. Indestructible. [hands it to Jack] Like its owner. [Jack puts it on] I put on a new strap for you.

Rhys:
Cost me fifty quid, that.

Jack:
Bill me.

Gwen:
Are you ever coming back, Jack?

Jack:
What for?

Gwen:
[tearfully] Me. It wasn't your fault.

Jack:
I think it was.

Gwen:
[shakes her head] No.

Jack:
Steven. And Ianto. And Owen, and Tosh, and Suzie, and...All of them. Because of me. [looks away]

Gwen:
But you...you saved us. Didn't you?

Jack:
I began to like it. And look what I became. Still, I have lived so many lives. It's time to find another one.

[Jack takes a step back and presses a button on his Vortex Manipulator]

Gwen:
[crying] They died, and I am sorry, Jack...but you cannot just run away. You cannot just run away!

[a light surrounds Jack]

Jack:
Oh yes, I can. Just watch me.

[Jack disappears from Earth]
