Many kill themselves eventually. Understandable, certainly.

There are a lot of reasons it's understandable, I think. Which ones are you thinking about?

Those cursed with nearly no other escape. I concede, however, that there are others as well.

If death is an option, there's always an escape. Though, unfortunately, sometimes it's the only one.

"If"...? I've never heard of such an absolute fate beyond fiction. You'll have to excuse my shock, I have lived many hundreds of years and I have never heard of such a thing.

You've lived many hundreds of years, and it's never occurred to you that some things that exist in fiction also exist in reality?

Touché. The thought has, of course, crossed my mind, but perhaps age has made me arrogant. When I fail to encounter something I tend to lose faith in it.

It's a big universe. Do I get a name, before we continue to talk about the nature of it [The universe], and suicide?

You will get a name as long as I receive one in return.

[He bows slightly]

Henry Sturges.

Jack Harkness. It's a pleasure, Henry.

Are you all right?

[He smiles at the salute]

The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Harkness.

[He considers Jack's question for a moment]

As "alright" as I have been in many years. Yourself?
