Esther: This thing might be worth following. It just got sent down. The word "Torchwood" has been emailed to every single East Coast section chief, completely bypassing security. Just one word. Torchwood.

Rhys Williams (Kai Owen): You okay?
Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles): Yeah. Yeah. Just, you know, bad dream.
Rhys: What about?
Gwen: What d'you think? Torchwood.

EMT: He's the second one tonight. DOA's that just won't die.

Esther: The paramedics, they said he didn't stand a chance.
Dr. Vera Juarez (Arlene Tur): Looks like someone changed the rules. Miracles got... easy. It's not only Rex who's still alive. So is everyone else.

Reporter: The survival of Oswald Danes turns out to be the first incident in a much bigger story breaking live this morning.

Gwen: It's my dad, he's in hospital. I've gotta see him. Sorry Rhys. We've gotta go back.

Jack: That man was after me, not you.
Esther: Why? Why would he want you dead?
Jack: On the very day that no one's dying? Wish I knew.

Jack: The Torchwood Institute was set up by the British Royal Family in 1879 to defend the realm of Great Britain by investigating the unusual, the strange. And the alien.
Esther: I'm kind of guessing alien doesn't mean foreign.
Jack: Alien. As in extraterrestrial.

Esther: So that first email last night, the one that just said "Torchwood"?
Jack: Wasn't me. God knows who it was. But it was enough to call me back.

Rex: Who the hell are you people?
Gwen: Torchwood. {she fires a rocket launcher}

Gwen: But this thing that's happening to the world—this miracle. It must have something to do with you.
Jack: Great, so it's my fault?
Gwen: Can't be a coincidence, Jack.

Gwen: Every time you turn up it always goes wrong.

Gwen: Where did you go, Jack?
Jack: Long way away.
Gwen: And did it help?

Jilly: There's a good reason the churches are empty. People don't want to hear about Heaven. They'd rather hear from the man who has gazed into Hell itself, and that's you. Frankly I think if the Devil himself were to walk this earth, he'd need representation.
Danes: If the Devil himself walked this earth, he'd surely be working in PR.
