Dr. McKayIf I'm reading this correctly then Michael is--
[he hears a noise] Shut up.
Dr. McKayNo, you shut up this is important! If Michael is coming-
Shh! Stop making noise.
Dr. McKay[pause] It's footsteps.
Okay, revise that, start making a lot of noise.
[Sheppard, Ronon and McKay are in a Puddle Jumper and trying to get into Michael´s ship through the dart bay doors which begin to close again]
Dr. McKayIt's closing.
I see that.
Dr. McKayIt's closing quickly.
[annoyed] I got it.
[Teyla is giving birth on Michael's ship]
Dr. McKaySo, ummmmm, how are you doing?
The pain is very great.
Dr. McKayOh...yeah I-I had a kidney stone once....incredibly painful....same kinda thing I'm told so yeah I hear you. Actually my cat and I had one at the same time and we were not fun to be around I'll tell you that much. He got his because he was eating too much dry cat food and I got mine because I wasn't drinking enough liquids, so that's why you see me drinking lots of water because I have no desire to experience that kind of pain again.
[panting while talking] Fascinating story. Thank you...
[Woolsey has just arrived on the Daedalus to take command of Atlantis.]
[authoritatively] Well, then. [He hesitates for several seconds, unable to think of anything more to say, then looks at Sheppard.] I think I'll start by going over copies of all your latest reports. [turning to McKay] Yours as well, Doctor.
Dr. McKayWhat, right now?
I've been out of touch on the Daedalus for three weeks. I'd like to be brought up to speed as quickly as possible. We can have a full briefing in the morning.
[Woolsey leaves the control room]
It's a nice speech. Very inspiring.
[After Sheppard notices the Alternate Daedalus has powered up]
[Over radio] Rodney, was that you?
Dr. McKay[Smug] Yes. Why, do you think we have a ghost on board?
[McKay literally jumps when he hears something fall to the ground, then realizes it was only Ronon]
Dr. McKayWill you please not touch anything?!
[Sheppard tells McKay that they've jumped above a red giant]
Dr. McKay[over radio] Are you sure?
Well, we're not imagining it Rodney.
Dr. McKayLet me transfer the sensors down to the station, at least I could- Whoa... you're definitely not imagining that...
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
They're in weapons range!
[the ship starts taking damage]
Return fire!
I'm trying!
[the alien fighters keep closing, Ronon starts bashing the console]
Easy, Chewie! Those buttons are your friends! Just keep trying!
[yells] I'M TRYING!!!
[the engine controls go down]
Dr. McKayThat's it, sublight's gone for good this time!
[the Alternate Daedalus crawls to a halt when the attackers suddenly start to explode]
What the hell was that?
F-302s. It's Atlantis!
[a massive dogfight begins]
Dr. McKay[nervous] What's happening?
We got some help from some friends, guess we're on the right side after all-
Daedalus, this is Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, do you read? [Sheppard and Ronon look at each other confused] Daedalus, do you read?
Yeah, Daedalus, uh, this is Daedalus, come in.
Who-Who is this?
It's a long story!
Well, whoever you are you saved our asses when you took out their main weapons. I think the least we can do is return the favor.
I'd much appreciate it.
Uh, Sheppard...
Oh, crap! [takes out a fighter that was trying to crash into the bridge]
Sorry about that, one of 'em got through. Nice shooting, though.
Oh, thanks...
[McKay is hit by an alien's weapon]
Dr. McKayOh, OW! OW!! OWW!!! [ducks into cover] I GOT SHOT!!! Ow...
Thought we got them all! [fires]
Apparently not! [fires]
A Puddle Jumper is flying up from the planet. Sheppard's team is on board.
What the hell was that thing?
It just appeared out of nowhere.
Dr. McKayAnd that shriek scared the crap out of me.
Kind of a ... flying monkey.
Dr. McKayFlying monkeys! What is this, the planet of Oz?!
[Dr. McKay tweaks a system and tries to talk to Weir]
Dr. McKayElizabeth?
[in a deep male voice] Rodney?
Is it just me, or does "Elizabeth" sound a little different?
Dr. McKayDid you have some kind of itinerary planned?
Well, actually we’re gonna have a big feast first.
Dr. McKayLast supper huh?
Well, suits your messiah complex.
Dr. McKayTrue.
Dr. McKayWhat is this place?
It's the Shrine of Talus.
Dr. McKayThat means nothing to me.
It's a planet of the Ancestors. We brought you here.
Dr. McKayThank you, Mr. Information! Look, since when did he become Ronon the Explainer? And why am I not in the Infirmary, huh? What, am I better?! [realises] I am better!
It is the gift of the Shrine, and from all of us who risked great danger to bring you here. One last chance to be with those you love.
Dr. McKayAnd then what? [with no answer, he realises the answer] I die!?
With honour.
And dignity.
Dr. McKayYeah, well, screw that! I'll just stay here!
Dr. McKayYou have thrown an awful lot at me all at once.
That's life.
Day six of the recordings of the progression of the Second Childhood
Dr. McKayJennifer, there's something I wanted to, while I remember, while I still can. There's something I wanted to say before...
Go ahead.
Dr. McKayI, I, I love you. I've loved you for some time now. [pauses briefly] OK. Where was I?
