I must say, Rodney, this is quite an ingenious idea.
[smug] Were you expecting anything less?
Well, you have been in a bit of a rut lately.
OK, well, like a dry spot, maybe.
I'm all yours. What would you like to try now?
Actually, unencumbered by the continual need to explain things to you, I've actually made remarkable progress.
Mmm. [they start walking into the lab] The systems the Ancients had in place were designed to create fully functional humanoid replicants, right?
[suddenly pensive] ...yes.
Well, turns out that trying to create something much simpler is – ironically – much more difficult. In the end I was forced to compromise.
Wait, you're not suggesting that...
Ah, I know it wasn't part of the plan but it was either this or nothing.
[Arriving at the Ancient table, Rodney gestures to...]
FFRAN
[smiling warmly at Radek] Hello.
[somewhere between shock, horror, and awe] ...oh, my.
[aboard the Daedalus approaching the Replicator homeworld]
FFRAN
This is quite exciting.
It's a bit nerve-wracking, yeah.
FFRAN
I quite look forward to it.
FFRAN
Yes. One always wishes to achieve one's purpose.
Right. And you're...okay with this?
FFRAN
Of course. Why would I not be? It's my reason for being.
Well, you know, you're going to...cease to be.
FFRAN
[matter-of-factly] Yes.
Well, I just...I just imagined you'd rather keep being than, uh ... uh, than not.
[Zelenka, in the background, edges away looking uncomfortable]
FFRAN
Surely you're not worried for me, Doctor?
Worried? No, of course not. That would be silly.
[McKay nods and steps away, whispering to Zelenka]
Should never have given it speech...
[referring to Ronon's latest injury]
Another sparring accident?
Actually... I slipped in the shower.
No, sparring accident. [grins]
This is the third time this week I've had to patch you up... You know, there are a lot of other ways you could spend your free time.
[Typing in Rodney's password, who thinks Sheppard can't remember it] 16431879196842. See, it doesn't take a genius.
1643 is the year Isaac Newton was born. 1879, Einstein. And 1968...
The year Rodney was born.
Never underestimate the size of that man's ego.
Weren't there other numbers?
It's the ultimate answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything.
[Teyla stares at him blankly.]
[Referring to Ava Dixon]
So, um, what happened to the rest of her?
Oh, uh, they deactivated the bond between her nanites, effectively breaking her into base elements.
[Ronon looks at Sheppard in confusion]
[Ronon smiles faintly]
[talking to two young boys]
If you help us, we'll get you whatever you want.
Oh yes, good, great idea, yes.
Maybe you should show them your…
I was once a 10-year old boy too, I know what gets their attention.
What, you want to get out of here or not?
I think we can reason with them without resorting to that, thank you.
If you say so. (looks hopefully at Keller)
