Rodney McKay quotes from Stargate Atlantis

McKay

There is nothing more annoying than people who won't admit their own mistakes. [Zelenka looks at him]

Lt. Col. Sheppard

True.

Dr. McKay

[staring at Beckett] What?

Dr. Beckett

What?

Dr. McKay

Well, it's that look. That's the same look I get when I have a brilliant idea.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

How would you know how you looked?

Dr. McKay

'Cause it's happened more than once in front of a mirror, okay?

Dr. McKay

[to a rescue team] Alright, people, let's do this one by the numbers. We get in, we get our man, we get out. Stay sharp and stay alive!

Dr. Beckett

[in disbelief] What are you on about?

Dr. McKay

Oh, just things that Sheppard would say, so I thought I would, um ...

Teyla

Well said, Rodney.

Ronon

Sheppard wasn't here.

Dr. McKay

And we've just wasted two and a half hours!

Ronon

[to the Marines] Let's move out!

Dr. McKay

…and a mouse.

Welcome back to Earth.

Dr. McKay

Yes, yes. What's my sister done?

Good to see you, too, McKay.

Dr. McKay

[impatiently] Greetings, salutations, pleasantries. What's she done?

Jeannie

What have you gotten yourself involved in here, Meredith?

Meredith?

Dr. McKay

It's a long story.

Jeannie

It's his name.

Your name is Meredith McKay?

Dr. McKay

Meredith Rodney McKay, yes, but I prefer to go by "Rodney." Look, can we just stick to the point here? Look out the window. Much more interesting than my name.

[grinning] Your name is Meredith?

Jeannie

Holy cow! That can't be good for your health.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Nothing to worry about. I've done it dozens of times. John Sheppard.

Dr. McKay

She's married, and she's my sister.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[defensively] I'm just saying hi.

Dr. McKay

Yeah, no, I know exactly what you're doing. I've seen that look before...Kirk.

Dr. McKay

What did Elizabeth say?

Col Sheppard

Two McKays are better than one.

Dr. McKay

There aren't two McKays, there's one McKay and him.

I envy you. You say exactly what's on your mind no matter how it makes you look. I can only imagine the freedom you must have, not caring if people like you or not.

Dr. McKay

Oh. [thinks a moment] People don't like me?

Teyla

Is that what made all these people kill each other?

Dr. McKay

I hope so.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You hope so?

Dr. McKay

Otherwise, there are two bizarre things going on, and one is more than enough for me, thank you very much.

Dr. Weir

How are Rodney and Teyla?

Dr. McKay

He shot me!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

They're both fine.

Dr. McKay

You shot me!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[visibly upset] Yes, Rodney, I shot you, and I said I was sorry!

Ronon

You shot me, too.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

I'm sorry for shooting everyone!!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You should call her.

Dr. Beckett

Who, Cadman?

Dr. Weir

You two did make a cute couple.

Dr. Beckett

It didn't work out. May have something to do with our first kiss being through Rodney.

Dr. McKay

Oh, I thought we made a solemn vow never to speak of that again!

Dr. Beckett

I remember no such thing.

Is he dead?

Dr. McKay

He's mostly dead!

Dr. Weir

Hey, if we keep this up, there won't be much of a city left to save.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

I'll try to run the drones into your least favorite buildings...McKay!

Dr. McKay

It should be working!

Dr. Beckett

Well, it's not working!

Dr. McKay

Look, if I give him any more power, he'll wake up and kill us all!

Gen. O'Neill

Hey! Thanks for the rescue!

Dr. McKay

Oh, hey...no problem.

Gen. O'Neill

No! You should be saying, "Thanks for the rescue!"

Dr. McKay

Oh, ah, right...thanks. Should have you out of there in no time. This won't take long at all.

Dr. McKay

Oh, my...they, they, they've changed the codes.

Woolsey

...But you can crack it, right? You need to get us out of here!

Dr. McKay

Yeah, of course I can...just give me, like, 1...2 seconds.

Gen. O'Neill

...So, I guess that frozen replicator plan didn't pan out!?

Dr. McKay

Yeah...not so much.

Gen. O'Neill

How's that plan "B" workin' for ya? Good?

Dr. McKay

Actually, it's...it's more like, uh, plan "C".

Dr. McKay

...As in C-4, if you catch my drift?

Gen. O'Neill

No.

Dr. McKay

Let's just say that we're concerned that the Daedalus won't be able to carry out your standing orders.

Woolsey

What? To destroy Atlantis with nuclear weapons? I thought we were past that! Why would we be going back to that?

Dr. McKay

Yeah, it's the only way.

Gen. O'Neill

Can you do that?

Dr. McKay

Yeah...If we plant charges in all 10 of the shield emitters before the Daedalus arrives, that way, when the replicators try to activate the shields...

Woolsey

...The C-4 detonates, the Daedalus beams a warhead into the city, and we're all vaporized.

Gen. O'Neill

[Agitated] Sounds more like a plan "F", doesn't it? As in, "We're totally..."
