First 5 minutes of the pilot:
Part 1:
[Bright Flash of Light]
: General, Colonels.
: So why exactly are you here? Not that we're not pleased to see you, but Woolsey was, well, vague when informing us of your trip.
: We're going to another Universe!
[Roll Intro]
: What?!?
: Actually, I've figured out how to activate the ninth chevron, and we're here to try it out.
: Why in Atlantis?
: On the off chance that the ninth chevron opens into a super black hole, makes the gate self-destruct or causes any other number of bad things to happen, the IOA didn't want Earth to be the testing ground.
: And Atlantis is the better "testing ground"?
: Atlantis is our most secure facility outside of the SGC
[interjects]: Plus, all indications point to the ninth chevron leading to some sort of Ancient Repository rather than a black hole. The literal translation is "the seed of the Alterrans."
: Sounds like some kind of Ancient Fertility Clinic.
: Actually this Ancient word for "seed" was the same word the Ancients used when referring to "seeding the Milky Way with life." There's no telling what kind of technology it leads to.
: And that's why we're here.
: You'll be leading the mission sir?
: Since the last two times we've made first contact with a new galaxy we've found ourselves at war with vastly more powerful enemies...
[faux-stern glances at Daniel, Vala, Sheppard & McKay]
[Daniel shrugs jokingly accepting the criticism]
...I thought I'd try to keep our number of wars to a minimum.
