[LtColCarter]

from 'sateda' :

beckect : you've got an arrow in your gluteus maximus.
mckay : gluteus maximus ... oh my god, that's my ass!

[LtColCarter]

Ford: It's huge.

McKay: Define huge.

Sheppard: Fifteen million square miles. Give or take.

McKay: That would make it approximately the size of, uh... I have no idea, but it sounds huge

[dolfyn]

McKay: Like I was saying, there are lightning rods, a lot of them, placed all over the city. Now, as it stands right now, all the energy they capture is routed into four main grounding stations. In turn the stations ground all that energy into the ocean below us.

Sheppard: So instead of sending the electricity to ground...

McKay: We use it to power the shield.

Weir: How?

McKay: By directing it right down the corridors of Atlantis & into the shield generators.

Weir: The city can handle that?

McKay: Yes.... Theoretically.

Sheppard: Like "dinosaurs turned into birds" theoretically, or "Theory of Relativity" theoretically?

McKay: What? Uh... somewhere between. Elizabeth, you take Grounding Station 2, I'll take Grounding Station 1. Major, you take Stations 3 & 4.

Sheppard: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. Where are Stations 3 & 4?

McKay: [pointing to a map of the city] Here & here.

Sheppard: And we are...?

McKay: Here. Yes. I need to get done quickly so I can start working on the sub-routines, & Elizabeth was complaining about her knee the other day, so...

Sheppard: Whoa, whoa, wait a second. Are these things even close to a transporter?

McKay: Ah, yes, Elizabeth's is.

Sheppard: And mine?

McKay: Uh... it's a brisk walk away.

Sheppard: And by "brisk", you mean "far"?

McKay: No, by "walk" I mean "run".

Ronon: [after Sheppard, Teyla, Rodney, and Ronon are held captive, Ronon is trying to get out of his hand restraints] I think they're loosening.

Sheppard: Watch it, Chewie. You're gonna cut your damn hands off!

[dolfyn]

^
I loved it whenever Sheppard called Ronon "Chewie".

Feel the love.

[dolfyn]

Ronon: [pacing] I'm not good at this.
Sheppard: What?
Ronon: Waiting to die.
Sheppard: Don't think about it.
Ronon: I don't like small spaces.
Sheppard: Could be worse.
Ronon: Personally, I'd rather die fighting.
Sheppard: I'd rather not die.
Ronon: I'm just sayin'...
Sheppard: Ok, look, if this rock burns up in the atmosphere, I'll fight you to the death myself. Deal?
Ronon: You're on.
(The Ark)


Weir: Rodney, you're a good person. Know that we love you.
McKay: [murmurs] You love me? Really? All of you?
Sheppard: In the way a friend... feels about another friend.
(Tao of Rodney)


Feel the love.

McKay: Let's not be too quick to exclude the possibility that the woman might be, uh... what is the clinical term? nuts?

[LtColCarter]

Carson: How come I never make friends like that?

McKay: You need to get out more.

Carson: We're in another galaxy. How much more out can you get?

[jmoz]

The Return 2

O’NEILL: How’s that Plan B working for ya? Good?

McKAY: Actually, it’s more like Plan C. (Jack and Woolsey frown at him blankly.) C as in C4, if you catch my drift.

O’NEILL: No.

McKAY: Let’s just say that we’re concerned the Daedalus won’t be able to carry out your standing orders.

WOOLSEY: What?! To destroy Atlantis with nuclear weapons? I thought we were past that! Why are we going back to that?

McKAY: Yeah, it’s the only way.

O’NEILL: Can you do that?

McKAY: Yeah. If we plant charges in all ten of the shield emitters before the Daedalus arrives, that way when the Replicators try to activate the shield ...

WOOLSEY: ... the C4 detonates, the Daedalus beams a warhead into the city, and we all get vapourised.

O’NEILL: Sounds more like a Plan F, doesn’t it? As in, “We are totally ...”

Hide and Seek

McKAY: Well, are there any side effects? (He winces as the needle goes into his arm.)

BECKETT: Dry mouth, headache ... the irresistible urge to run in a small wheel.

McKAY (grunting in pain): That's very amusing. So how long ‘til it starts working?



(As Weir and Grodin look in the direction of his voice, they see him standing with his back to the balcony of the Control Room. Major John Sheppard stands in front of him and deliberately pushes him backwards over the balcony. McKay plunges to the floor of the Gateroom about thirty feet below. Various people cry out in horror.)

WEIR: Oh my God.

(She and Grodin hurry towards Sheppard, who laughs delightedly.)

SHEPPARD: Did you see that?!

WEIR: Yes! What the ...?

(As they all look over the balcony, McKay jumps up from the floor, raising his hands and smiling.)

McKAY: I'm fine!

(He has a small device on his chest. It is glowing green. Sheppard grins down at him and heads for the stairs. Weir and Grodin do likewise and they all run down to join McKay.)

McKAY: Look, Beckett's gene therapy worked. I was able to activate this. It's a, uh, personal shield: acts like a protective skin; and it must have inertial dampening properties too, because I didn't feel a thing. Watch this. (He turns to Grodin.) Hit me.

(Without hesitation, Grodin throws a punch at McKay's face. A green force shield appears in front of McKay's face and Grodin's fist impacts it.)

GRODIN: Ow, God!

(He cradles his injured hand as Athosian children standing nearby laugh.)

McKAY: You didn't have to swing so hard, (Sheppard grins) and notice he didn't even hesitate.

WEIR: I'm still trying to understand how you thought it was a good idea to test this device by having someone throw you off a balcony.

McKAY (smiling): Oh, believe me, that's not the first thing we tried.

(Sheppard grins and turns to Weir.)

SHEPPARD (proudly): I shot him. (Weir stares at him incredulously. Sheppard's smile fades a little.) In the leg!

Carson: How come I never make friends like that?

McKay: You need to get out more.

Carson: We're in another galaxy. How much more out can you get?

Carson rocks!!

[dolfyn]

Carson rocks!!

*nods emphatically* Yes, he does.


Beckett: I can barely make it to the mainland & back without crashin'! For the last time, I'm a doctor, not a bloody fighter pilot!!

I can even hear this with the scottish accent!!!

[LtColCarter]

Dr. Kavanagh: I happily left the SGC because I had had it up to here with the military running things, and you just busted me like a private.

Weir: Don't be so dramatic. Besides, the Air Force doesn't even have privates.

Dr. Kavanagh: Neither do I. You just cut them off. Right in front of my research team.

Weir: That's what this is about? You're embarrassed?

Dr. Kavanagh: Well, humiliated would be a little more accurate.

Weir: I haven't worked up to humiliation yet.

[Toddandrea]

I can't remember the full section so will edit when I can rewatch.

Todd 'The Wraith' They called you, Sheppard

John Sheppard Yep, That's my name.

Todd 'The Wraith' (This is the part I can't remember but I do know it ends in:-) There is a difference you know:

John Sheppard Wait a minute, when did you hear them say my name??

Todd 'The Wraith' Just before I began to Feed.

The real quote

INT—GENII CELLS

[Sheppard lies half propped against a wall of his cell. His neighbor can be heard in the next cell.]

PRISONER
They called you Sheppard.
SHEPPARD
(weakly)
Yeah. That's my name. Pleased to meet you.
PRISONER
You are in pain.
SHEPPARD
Well, I just got fed on by a Wraith. What do you think?
PRISONER
I would not know.
SHEPPARD
Hopefully, you'll never have to find out.
[He shifts to sit up and groans in pain at the effort.]

SHEPPARD
I didn't think anything could hurt that much.
PRISONER
You're still alive.
SHEPPARD
Yeah, well…I don't know how many years the darn thing took off my life. But I'll tell you this: if Kolya's men hadn't'a pulled that damn thing off, I'd be dust in a flak jacket.
PRISONER
Do you blame the Wraith, or the master?
SHEPPARD
I'm gonna go with both.
PRISONER
There is a difference. The Wraith must feed in order to live. For a Wraith, hunger burns like a fire. Tell me, Sheppard, if you found yourself burning alive, would you settle for just one drop of water, or would you take more?
[Sheppard furrows his eyebrows. While the prisoner speaks, he struggles to his feet to try and look at his neighbor through the window.]

SHEPPARD
(suspiciously)
When'd you hear them call me "Sheppard"?
[The prisoner steps forward into the light. His fellow prisoner is the Wraith.]

WRAITH PRISONER
Just before I started to feed.
