[Ford is recording video messages of each expedition member to send home]

What shall I say?

Uh…uh…"I miss you"? "I wish you were here"?

I wish who was here?

I don't know. Who do you wish was here?

Nobody! I wish I wasn't bloody here!

Security clearance?

[Rodney's recording]

[adjusts hair] Right. And in five, four, three-

[he stops speaking and holds up two fingers to signify the “two” count, then folds his arms and looks serious.]

[dramatically] This is Doctor Rodney McKay speaking to you from my base of operations in the lost city of Atlantis, located deep within the Pegasus galaxy. I record this message on the eve of our darkest hour. As I speak, an alien armada of biblical proportions is on its way, bent - dare I say hellbent, in keeping with the metaphor – on our destruction. We will do our best to stave off their attack but I am afraid that defeat is all but inevitable. I, and the other members of my team, face the most horrific deaths imaginable, as our very lives are sucked from our chests in a, in a, horrific - Okay, uh, start again. Start again.

I ran every test I could on all of you from the get-go. Physiologically, you and your people are the same as we are. I have no explanation for any of your special super-powers.

Teyla I only have one power.

I've seen you fight, my dear.

Maj. Sheppard You're saying Teyla is part Wraith?

A very small part.

Dr Weir

Which makes her about as different from us as you, because of the Ancient gene you possess.

Well, and some other things.

So you think this Wraith scientist was trying to make humans what, more tasty?

Dr Weir

The log seems to indicate that he was looking for a way to make the feeding process more efficient.

But I thought you said they already had a number of genetic characteristics similar to humans.

They do. But they're still much closer to the bug creature that attacked Major Sheppard than to us.

Hey! I thought we weren't going to mention that anymore.

Dr Weir

Your theory of the Wraith evolving after the Ancients arrived in Pegasus galaxy -

[in disbelief] Oh, you're kidding me!

Zelenka

Pay up.

I got a little... [referring to energy spike]

LFLt Ford

[jokingly] A little what? McKay! You got a little what? [Sheppard looks at Ford disapprovingly] What? Oh, it's okay when you guys make fun of me then, huh?

[Weir is explaining to Teyla is told that she can read Wraith minds]

Weir

You didn't know you COULD read Wraith minds...and frankly, who would want to?

[The Atlantis team is discussing staying and fighting the Wraith]

KDr Kavanaugh

We can't possibly consider staying and fighting!

I disagree! I think it's entirely within the realm of possibility.

KDr Kavanaugh

[as if speaking to a very young child] There are tens of thousands of life-sucking aliens in highly advanced spaceships on their way here to destroy us!

[Zelenka is arguing that it should be him to go to the Ancient satellite, not McKay]

There's not going to be a problem.

You don't know that.

If it seems like we can't fix it, we'll just turn around and go back! Now, I realize I am invaluable everywhere-

[annoyed] You know what? Forget it. I take it back!

Sorry, nope. You can't take it back because you've just admitted that I'm smarter than you!

I admitted no such thing!

I know it's hard to say, but the truth shone through when you prepared to speak.

[through gritted teeth] You are a miserable little man.

Hey, hey, let's not ruin the moment.

You know that for a fact, Sergeant, or is your spidey sense just tingling?

[In the Ancient satellite]

GDr. Grodin

I've found the switch to initialize the gravity

Okay just give me a sec- [gravity comes on, causing McKay to fall several meters onto the floor] Oh yep, yeah, thats permenant back damage [through gritted teeth]
