'Who's afraid of the big spider mouse? '

'Hey, they're creepy, okay! Harmless, but creepy.'

'I think they're cute,' said Tosh.  

'Me too,' agreed Gwen.

'And clever,' added Ianto. 'This one managed to escape the cage twice,' as it curled up in his hand. 'His name's Colin.'

'No. No one's keeping any of them! You want a pet, find  some other vermin. Lord knows this place has enough. Normal Earth vermin.'

'Come on, Jack. Would you say no to that face?' pleaded Gwen.

He wasn't sure if she was referring to Ianto or Colin, but suspected he'd lost this battle.
