Lines by Rodney McKay 29
Dr. McKay[suddenly looking suspiciously at his kebab] Is there lemon in this?! [He hurries off to find out]
Dr. McKayHow could I possibly know that? What am I, Answer Man?
Dr. McKayWhat are we going to tell them, Teyla? "Listen, kiddies, everything you believe is wrong, and trust us because we've been here for-" [checks watch] "-almost an hour!"
Dr. McKayYou know, if people could just learn to keep their secret underground bunkers locked…
Dr. McKaySo none of this is real? [Truth dawns] The cute brunette, of course! I should have known! How do you go from, "You're a pig, but I like your cat," to "I missed you"?
Dr. McKayLook, someone get me a knife. [Genii just stand there] You all have guns, someone get me a knife.
[Rodney's recording]
Dr. McKay[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.]
Dr. McKay[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.
[The Wraith have used asteroids to detonate several mines prematurely.]
Dr. McKayYour mines make one hell of a bang, Colonel, I'm sure the Wraith's ears are ringing.
[Dr. McKay is trying to get a reluctant Dr. Beckett to sit in the Ancient chair]
Dr. McKayIt's out of drones; you couldn't do any damage if you wanted to, now SIT DOWN.
Dr. McKayYou can't kill an unarmed, upside down man!
[The team is talking to Dr. Weir on the radio about their prison island]
Dr. McKayI prefer lethal injection, although I do have a certain fondess for the eletric chair. Call me romantic.
Dr. McKayThis is definitely Ancient design. Their latest stuff. [Blows a large amount of dust of the console] Their latest stuff being ten thousand years old.
Dr. McKay[Rodney took the enzyme and he's dialing the gate] Big dose. Big, big dose. But you needed it. You had to take out the guards. And you did. Stupid, "You want the crystals, you'll have to go through us." Well, I went through you all right didn't I? Like a hot knife jell-o. No, it's uh butter. Hot knife through butter. Man, I'm hungry. Focus. Focus. Must finish dialing the gate.
Dr. McKaySomeone hand me a branch. [Ronon hands him a log] I didn't ask for a log!
