Rodney McKay quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[to Rodney] More searching, less complaining.

Dr. McKay

Sorry, I'm hungry. When I'm hungry, I get cranky.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

And when you get cranky, you get hit.

Dr. McKay

Okay, okay....

Theoron come in.

Theoron come in.

Dr. Mckay

If we don't respond, they're gonna investigate.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[disguising his voice badly] Theoron here.

What's your status?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Good.

Elaborate.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Real good.

If you help us, we'll get you whatever you want.

McKay

Oh yes, good, great idea, yes.

Thanks.

McKay

Maybe you should show them your…

Excuse me?

McKay

I was once a 10-year old boy too, I know what gets their attention.

McKay…

McKay

What, you want to get out of here or not?

I think we can reason with them without resorting to that, thank you.

McKay

If you say so. (looks hopefully at Keller)

Dr. Keller

Whoa whoa whoa, wait wait, don't pull me up!

McKay

What?! Why?

Dr. Keller

I see LIGHT!!

McKay

No no no no no! Don't go toward the light! You want to stay in the land of the living!!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Rodney?

Dr. McKay

We've made a terrible mistake -- we never should have revived Kavanagh!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

He turned on the self-destruct?!

[defensively] Not on purpose!

Teyla

I knew you would doubt me. I should not have said anything.

Dr. McKay

Hey, I've been cocooned inside an alien spacecraft; I've had another person living inside me; I've encountered not one, but two different versions of myself, so who am I to judge? If you say it was a vision, then I believe it was a vision.

Dr. McKay

I seriously doubt it was a vision.

Teyla

I purchased the pendant from an artisan in Croya, the village we are about to visit. Among the Athosians, it's quite common to present such gifts as expressions of admiration and respect.

Ronon

[to McKay] Hey. Maybe I'll pick you something up while we're there.

Dr. McKay

Really?

Ronon

No.

Obviously there is more you want from me, or you would not have come.

Ronon

Maybe we just came to kill ya.

[unafraid] Did you?

Sheppard

Unfortunately, no.

Well, there's always next time.

Sheppard

Rodney?

Dr. McKay

One of our people – Teyla – was taken by a Dart today.

[flippantly] I suppose she's already made some lucky Wraith a very tasty meal.

Dr. Beckett

Aye, you're damned right it is! First you tell me I'm not the only Carson Beckett, and then you tell me the other one died in a horrible explosion! [suddenly coming to a realization] Oh my God! My mother! You didn't tell her, did you?

Dr. McKay

Well...yeah.

Dr. Beckett

Good Lord!

Dr. McKay

[before freezing Beckett in stasis] You know, I was toying with the idea of programming dreams into these things. Interested? I could have you fishing in the Highlands...with a couple of tall blonde massage therapists?

Dr. Beckett

No, Rodney. I'll be fine.

Sheppard

You're telling me I just traveled forty eight thousand years into the future in ten seconds?

McKay

I know – it is kind of cool when you think about it, isn't it?

Sheppard

Surfing a thirty foot wave in Waimea is cool. Dating a supermodel is cool. This is not cool!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

The city has solar-powered generators, right?

Dr. McKay

Yes, which would come in very handy if we were trying to power a couple of electric golf carts.

Dr. McKay

[voiceover] I was down in the Infirmary, having suffered a, uh, well, pretty serious injury.

Dr. Keller

[in the past, talking to Rodney on a bed in the infirmary] It's a splinter.

Dr. McKay

Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Dr. McKay

Look, um, I know you've already been debriefed about the future events – all the things we were hoping to avoid – but there's just one more thing I need to know.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

What?

Dr. McKay

Did I still have hair?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[pausing] No.

Dr. McKay

Still no signal. There's too much interference.

Pretty sure my leg´s broken.

Dr. McKay

I think I'm remarkably fine.

[sarcastically] Well, isn't that wonderful? That brings me great comfort. Thank you.
