TEYLA: There certainly doesn't appear to be anything here that would help in our fight against the Wraith or the Replicators.
TEYLA: Yes -- this enthusiasm is most unlike you, Rodney.
SHEPPARD: We did the standard fly-over in the Jumper, scanning for life signs -- nothing.
SHEPPARD: Huh -- yes, I can.
SHEPPARD: I don't know. It's almost as if somebody in a warm, cosy room typing onto their computer sent us here for their own amusement.
SHEPPARD: Forty-two.
SHEPPARD: Maybe it means there's nothing worth writing about on those planets.
SHEPPARD: From themselves?
TEYLA: You have a bet riding on this, don't you?
SHEPPARD: All right. That's it!
SHEPPARD: I'm calling this one. Everyone back to the Jumper.
TEYLA: Pretty!
SHEPPARD: Looks like one of those toys you play with when you're a kid.
SHEPPARD (pointedly): A kaleidoscope.
SHEPPARD: We discovered an alien fungus that glows.
TEYLA: Are you all right?
SHEPPARD: Aw, yeah, I'm fine, just a little shock.
SHEPPARD: Honestly, I don't know why I did that.
SHEPPARD (not sounding very upset): Oh, really?
SHEPPARD: You don't even know if it was alive.
SHEPPARD: I don't know! I said that, OK? I just did. Can we leave it at that?
SHEPPARD: I'm gonna recommend sending a science team back here to check it out.
SHEPPARD: See? I told you. (To Jennifer) Thanks, Doc.
SHEPPARD: That's good advice.
SHEPPARD: I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted.
TEYLA: It's been a long day.
SHEPPARD: Well, thanks for hangin' out.
TEYLA: Just wanted to be sure.
SHEPPARD: I'm fine.
(He puts his hand briefly on her back as they walk along. A white glow appears on her back where he is touching her, then disappears. John lowers his hand and turns to her as he walks away.)
SHEPPARD: Get some sleep.
TEYLA: Good night, John.
SHEPPARD: This is pretty good! What is it?
DEX: I knew you two were gonna eventually hook up.
TEYLA: We are not hooking up! It's just dinner.
McKAY: I'm telling you, there's something in here giving off a strange energy reading.
TEYLA: John, what are you doing?
SHEPPARD: Colonel Carter doesn't trust you. No-one does but me.
TEYLA: What are you talking about?
SHEPPARD: What's wrong with you?
TEYLA: What do you mean? Nothing.
SHEPPARD: You've never been the same since you got into the mind of that Wraith Queen.
TEYLA: What?!
VOICE: Teyla!
(Teyla turns, recognising the voice just as she also hears the sound of Wraith Darts swooping over the village.)
TEYLA: Father!
TEYLA: I cannot even begin to tell you how bizarre it was.
SHEPPARD: Morning.
SHEPPARD: What?
TEYLA: Rodney. (She glares at him.)
SHEPPARD: Really?! What was it about?
TEYLA: Actually, it was more of a nightmare and I'd rather not talk about it.
SHEPPARD: Was I the dashing hero saving you from a big bad monster?
DEX: Actually, you were the big bad monster.
SHEPPARD: Really?
Teyla (standing up): Like I said, I'd rather not talk about it.
SHEPPARD: Where are you going?
TEYLA: I'm sorry. I have a headache. I did not sleep well last night.
SHEPPARD: Is she really mad at me?
SHEPPARD: I can't control what's in her dreams!
TEYLA: It's coming from outside. I go to the opening; I hear Darts. I pull open the tent and he comes inside. I know it's not really Colonel Sheppard, but I can't help but feel ... different towards him. Do you think it's my subconscious trying to tell me something?
TEYLA: I've had horrible nightmares before -- of my father being taken when I was a little girl, the cullings since -- but none of them have felt like this. When I woke up, I could barely catch my breath. I know it sounds silly but I think I am actually afraid of falling asleep.
TEYLA: You have no idea how good the thought of a solid night's sleep makes me feel at this point.
TEYLA: Thank you.
TEYLA: You too.
SHEPPARD: Went to the Mess for a late-night snack. She started complaining about her stomach and then she just doubled over.
TEYLA (groaning): No.
SHEPPARD: Can you believe this?!
SHEPPARD: We were sparring and I got in a lucky shot.
SHEPPARD: You sure?
SHEPPARD: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. G'night! (He walks away.)
SHEPPARD (smiling down at him): Hey, buddy. What are you runnin' from?
SHEPPARD: Come on.
TEYLA: Colonel Sheppard speaks of it often.
TEYLA: Your planet has some truly strange rituals.
TEYLA (sighing): You didn't?
TEYLA: Acting most unlike Colonel Sheppard.
TEYLA: Maybe you shouldn't be telling us this, Rodney.
TEYLA: And that's when mine stopped. Those pills you gave me knocked me out cold.
SHEPPARD: Put down the gun, Major. Let's talk this out.
TEYLA: John, what is he talking about?
SHEPPARD: Look, Lorne, I don't know what's gotten into you ...
SHEPPARD: Whoa, whoa, that won't be necessary. I've got my hands up in a very non-threatening way.
SHEPPARD: What, you believe him?!
TEYLA: I take it I don't have to shoot either of you with this?
SHEPPARD: So you think this has something to do with the crystal I touched?
SHEPPARD: Well, I can't control that!
SHEPPARD: What, you think someone's impersonating me in their dreams?! (He shakes his head in total disbelief.)
SHEPPARD: The question is, what's the point?
SHEPPARD: Well I'm the one who touched the crystal, and I've never had a bad dream.
SHEPPARD: Sit down, Rodney.
SHEPPARD: Did I have a goatee?
TEYLA: You're saying this is only the beginning.
SHEPPARD: So what are we talking -- Freddie Krueger here?
SHEPPARD: Over here.
TEYLA: Rodney!
TEYLA: I wasn't even thinking about it.
TEYLA: Kate! What are you doing?
TEYLA (gently): Good. Come down from there.
TEYLA: Why not?
TEYLA: John, stop it. Stop it -- I have to help her!
TEYLA: What are you doing? John, get out of the way!
TEYLA: Kate!
TEYLA: She did not report for duty and I cannot wake her up.
SHEPPARD: I was just about to come and see you ... but I wasn't sure if you wanted to see me.
SHEPPARD: It's in Rodney?
SHEPPARD: Yeah, but that doesn't help McKay much, does it? If this thing kills people in their sleep ...
SHEPPARD: D'you think it knows it's trapped?
SHEPPARD: Maybe there's a way to ... I don't know, reason with it.
SHEPPARD: Normally I just shoot the bad guys.
TEYLA: There must be something we can do.
SHEPPARD: I don't know -- I hadn't gotten that far.
SHEPPARD: To kill McKay.
SHEPPARD: What about survival? It's trapped. Will it die without a living host to transfer to?
TEYLA: We could give it a chance to leave -- go home.
SHEPPARD: Sure. Why not? Send it through the Gate back to its planet.
TEYLA: He has successfully meditated into an altered state before.
SHEPPARD (grimacing): Yeah, that was after he was genetically altered.
SHEPPARD: We are talking about McKay. Scary things are not exactly his strength.
SHEPPARD: I wish there was a way for one of us to get in there.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, you know, help him out; give him a little moral support. Come on -- all the things you've seen, you've never come across a way for one person to get into another person's dreams?
SHEPPARD: I don't know, but I think I'm about to see a side of McKay I never wanted to see.
TEYLA: It does not have to be you.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, well, it's my bad idea.
SHEPPARD: Not really.
SHEPPARD: You're tellin' me!
SHEPPARD: I haven't done anything yet.
SHEPPARD: Nothing's happening here.
SHEPPARD: Give up.
SHEPPARD: You'll never make it. You're too weak.
SHEPPARD: Why would I wanna help you?
SHEPPARD: It's not me, Rodney. Don't listen to him.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: You're pathetic. You might as well jump in.
SHEPPARD: Don't be afraid.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: You're gonna die out here.
SHEPPARD: Shut up! Don't listen to him, Rodney.
SHEPPARD: You know, this really isn't as strange as you led me to believe.
SHEPPARD: I hate clowns.
ALIEN SHEPPARD (smiling smugly): You can paddle all you want. You're not going anywhere.
SHEPPARD: He wants you to be afraid. Don't give him what he wants. He can't really hurt you.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: That's where you're wrong.
SHEPPARD: What happened?
TEYLA: This is all your fault, John.
SHEPPARD: I tried.
SHEPPARD: Son of a *****!
SHEPPARD: You can quit now. I'm not afraid of you.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: Oh yes you are. I'm the one thing you are afraid of. You failed your friends. You brought this on them and there is NOTHING you can do to stop it.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: Get up. Come on, John. FIGHT!
SHEPPARD (weakly): No. That's what you want.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: It's your fault Heightmeyer's dead. Your fault McKay is dead.
ALIEN SHEPPARD: You can't win.
SHEPPARD: What the hell was that?
SHEPPARD: Me.
SHEPPARD: Me me. (He points a little nervously at Rodney.) Is that you you?
SHEPPARD: Thanks.
SHEPPARD: You're tellin' me!
SHEPPARD: Yeah!
TEYLA: Couldn't sleep.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, me too.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, we couldn't sleep either.
TEYLA: There certainly doesn't appear to be anything here that would help in our fight against the Wraith or the Replicators.
TEYLA: Yes -- this enthusiasm is most unlike you, Rodney.
