At first the Doctor just let Jack kiss his hand, not surprised and willing to indulge him a little. He could admit that on the whole this excursion hadn't exactly started ideally. If Jack had to get some flirting in to feel better about it he ought to let him. However, finally he shook his head, pulling his hand back and turning to the console. "Stop it, Jack." But it was said with fondness, feeling nostalgic by now. They had been through a lot and Jack had never actually stopped it.

The Doctor only glanced at John, already working on getting the TARDIS on course. "I only take the best. Don't think you qualify." The TARDIS got going, starting to sway so the Doctor had to hold on to the console with one hand as he moved around it, flipping switches and pulling levers, turning wheels and pushing buttons.
