Glados is introduced as a computerized preprogrammed voice because that’s what the audience is familiar and comfortable with. It’s when she starts acting human and emotional that the audience realizes “oh no, she’s alive” and she becomes threatening.

Fucker, you don’t think I see what you’re doing right now? You think you’re fucking helping me? I know you’re using me. Let me help you use me. Okay?

The person I used to be… I can't make her proud. I know I can never do that. But maybe I can keep her from hating me so much.

My choice is different – either to have you home or to have you happy. You leave no room for both. I’ll lose you sooner, but I’ve found I’d rather have you happy. Although great sorrow will visit us all both before and after we part.

Time stands still. All I can feel is the time standing still, as you put down the keys and say, “Don't call me, please.” While the radio plays, “I Think I Need a New Heart.”

Even though I met you only recently, I find myself falling in love with you. I don't know quite how to put this decently, but what's the chance that you could love me too?

I know that I ended it, but why won’t you chase after me? You know me better than I do, so why didn’t you stop me?

Alecto enjoys the broadest swath of all: those who, during their mortal days, committed wrongful acts at the behest of their impulsive passions. With that being the case, I see it somewhat as a miracle that I myself avoided her barbed whip here in the Underworld.

The freak is the one that the whole family loved. The whole family did not love each other all the time, but he was the constant. That meant a lot to me as a kid, who felt like a freak.

Grr… those good-for-nothing gangsters! There are some things you just don’t do! I’m pressing charges!
Wait! Just calm down, Apollo!
Wait! Just calm down, Apollo!

Despite all the channel flipping, he still manages to see the end of that Friends episode. Turns out the ice dancer wasn’t gay after all. Maybe there’s hope for him.

In all the parts of him that still yield, he aches. Pain as fresh as the day it had been administered. Pain, circular, repeating, never-ending. Such is the nature of memory. Such is the nature of pain.

He needed me to help get the word out and see if anyone has noticed a massive time-shift, so that’s what I’m doing now. Anything for the scientific community. I’m VERY into science these days! Wow! Can you believe he called ME?

So far away, but still so near. The lights go on, the music dies, but you don't see me standing here. I just came to say goodbye.

They understood the witch as a creature addicted to kidnapping and consumption, so much so that the work of witches could be described as “eating the spirits.”

You'll see the world diving for a girl you'll never find, and then we'll quietly grow old: the saddest story ever told.

Hello! Super excited about being here. Was a long waiting list when I signed up, had to wait, I don’t know, three days until the other interns had… left the station, but my name is up on top now! I look forward to a long and healthy life in radio.

I worry about Ianto. I think he took it harder than anyone when I ran off. It’s going to take me a while to make things up to him. He is a decent, good man, and I’m lucky I met him.

Get out of bed, put on some clothes, and find your shoes. At least there's nothing more you could really lose, now is there?

So I set fire to the beds and the old witch-house went up in a roar of flame, as I danced in the yard with waving arms, while he wept like a freezing steer.
