Best lines in First Contact

[musicahumana]

There are so very many good lines.

Woolsey (to Keller): "Today is an historic day...."

Rodney: "You know, um, he coulda been in MENSA." (Rodney and Daniel snicker at John.)

[musicahumana]

Daniel: "It's not...harmful radiation, is it?"

[Earthgate Ricky]

Daniel - "Oh, I tried that. They, uh, zap you when you touch them."

Rodney - "Well you could have told me that before I tried it!"

Daniel - "Yes. Yes, I could have."

I think that Daniel loved torturing Rodney.

BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT

Spoiler:

"Mr. Talking Mcsezalot"

[Infinite-Possibilities]

It's not an amazing stand out line only by itself, but when Todd goes "Somehow, you've found the Attero Device!" Just the way he says it creates such gravity in that whole scene. It really gave the feeling that this was a very bad thing that happened, both for him and by a result of that, them.

[Not Telling]

Caldwell; Robert who?
Woosley; Never mind.
I love his 'pout' face there... after all his hard work to write a speech!

Daniel; I'm kinda used to it by now, Rodney.

Sheppard; Yeah.. ah just resting my eyes.

I loved the part where Rodney and John are figureing out what happened and it cuts from one explanation to another.
Rodney; So they're standing around, they're scratching their heads...

Woosley:Try not to blow her up while I'm gone
Sheppard:No promises

Oh yea, like you didn't know what was coming after THAT comment.



Daniel & Rodney are being hauled from the laser-room to the "device"-room and Daniel asks to talk to someone in charge. Rodney grimaces.
*snort

Also kinda liked...
um... anything Daniel said.

[gkyun]

Daniel: "It's not...harmful radiation, is it?"

Hehe I think Daniel's got radiophobia ever since that little incident which involved a radiation leakage a few years back.....

Nice touch on the writers' part.

^A person not afraid of radation is a disturbing person to me.

[musicahumana]

I love that Rodney was comparing himself to Janus as Daniel was explaining his research:

"He had lovers?"
"That could just mean he was hard to talk to. People say that about me all the time."

Of course, this goes along with the "Seriously?" conversation:

Daniel: Seriously? Is everything a competition for you?
Rodney: I don't know what you're talking about.
.
.
.
Rodney: Wait a minute. You don't get paid more than I do, do you?
(Daniel just throws him a longsuffering glance.)

[andromeda_dan]

after Rodney touched the green beam and got zapped:
Daniel: O yeah I tried that, they zap you when you touch it
McKay: You could have told me before I touch it.
Daniel: (with an impish smile) I could have, yes

[metalheart777]

Daniel: "Seriously, is everything a competition with you?"
Rodney: "I'm not sure what you're talking about."

I laughed OUT LOUD at this part! I love how Daniel called him out, and then Rodney played dumb! A great Rodney moment!

Todd: "what would we do, who would we be"

Most impactful line I've heard in while. It was perfect.

[Col.Foley]

Woolsey: Just try not to blow her up while I am gone.
Shep: No promises.

I thought that line was so prophetic, and all the more funny for it.

[Crichiel]

Sorry, don't have the episode in front of me for direct quotes. My favourites:

10. Radek dumbing it down for Sheppard
9. Rodney to the alien when he says he'll kill Daniel in one hour. "I understand, yes Sir!"
8. Caldwell's "Robert who?"
7. Sheppard's "Just resting my eyes"
6. Daniel trying to his diplomatic speech to the alien
5. Mr. Talky McSaysalot
4. Rodney making fun of Sheppard and MENSA and the laugh he and Daniel share about that (and I LOVE Sheppard, but I still thought that was funny)
3. Sheppard's "No promises" GREAT delivery of that line!
2. The "Seriously?" Speech

and number one......

1. The radiation comment from Daniel, especially when you add the look and little move away from the device he does. WONDERFUL Meridian reference!!
