Jackie: You've changed so much.

Rose: For the better.

Jackie: I suppose.

Rose: Mum, I used to work in a shop.

Jackie: I've worked in shops. What's wrong with that?

Rose: No, I didn't mean that.

Jackie: I know what you meant. What happens when I'm gone?

Rose: Don't talk like that!

Jackie: No, but really. When I'm dead and buried, you won't have any reason to come back home. What happens then?

Rose: I don't know.

Jackie: Do you think you'll ever settle down?

Rose: The Doctor never will, so I can't. I'll just keep on travelling.

Jackie: And you'll keep on changing. And in forty years time, fifty, there'll be this woman - this strange woman walking through the marketplace on some planet a billion miles from Earth. She's not Rose Tyler. Not anymore. She's not even human...

What do you think about this exchange? Did Jackie have valid points and concerns? Was Rose being too careless with her life? Or basing too much of her future on the Doctor's wants and needs and not her own? Or was she doing what she wanted?
