Can we submerge the city again?
Dr. McKayIt's a city, not a yo-yo.
Ok, what are our options?
Dr. McKayLet me see, we've got quick death, slow death, painful death, cold, lonely death...
Dr. McKay[whispering] They're scanning for us.
Why are you whispering?
Dr. McKayI don't know, it just seemed like the right thing to do.
What are you doing?
Dr. McKayI'm just checking something—I'm sure it is impossible.
[Types a command into a console. The numbers on the screen change to symbols]
Dr. McKayCrap!
What did you do?
Dr. McKayI just ran it through a translation program—it's Wraith.
[Hermiod looks at the screen, then at Dr. Mckay]
"Crap" indeed.
[Lt. Col. Sheppard stares at Hermiod suspiciously]
Dr. McKayDon't stare. He hates it when people stare.
[whispers] Am I the only one who thinks it's strange we're working with an alien?
Dr. McKayIntergalactic hyper drive technology is kind of new to us, so we need his help.
Is he supposed to be naked like that?
Dr. McKayMy nose is peeling! [to Carson] Do you have, uh, any moisturizer?
Yes Rodney.
Dr. McKayOh, we should get that.
[sigh] Yes Rodney.
Dr McKayLook, I want to get Ford back just as much as everyone else. But have you seen my complexion?
[sarcastictly] Yes.
Dr McKayIt's very fair. This isn't fair.
Dr McKaySo what kind of training do you guys have to go through to get this sort of mission?
You guys?
Dr McKayYeah, army, navy, air force, marines.
And by this mission you mean hunting down an escaped weapons specialist hopped up on Wraith drugs in the pitch black of an alien planet?
Dr McKayYes.
Actually, I think I skipped that course in major school.
Wow, you must really be some kind of genius.
Dr McKayWell, as a matter of fact I ...eh, wait a minute, why would you say that now?
Something has to have kept Col. Sheppard from shooting you all this time.
You have a date Rodney? With a woman?
Dr. McKayIt is simply two adults sharing some friendly— Yes, with a woman!
Maybe there's something wrong with him an MRI wouldn't pick up, if you know what I mean.
Dr. McKayI'm not crazy, I just have another consciousness in my brain.
So he just looks crazy?
Dr. McKayI'm sure I do, but only because Dr. Fumbles McStupid here was in way over his head!
Yes! I made a mistake trying to save your life! Now, do you want to try and fix it, or do you want to continue to berate me some more?
Dr. McKayI am perfectly capable of doing both at the same time.
[McKay/Cadman is about to be dematerialized to separate Cadman's consciousness from McKay's body]
[as Cadman] Wait. [walks over to Beckett and kisses him, causing the others to shift uncomfortably] Just in case it doesn't work. [McKay regains control and backs away in horror] Just... just... hit it!
[Ronon walks over to a steaming pot on a campfire and tastes it]
Dr. McKayWhat are you - Oh, my gosh, he's tasting it! [to Ronon] You don't know what that is, that could be their laundry!
Pretty good.
Dr. McKayOh, yes. Good idea. And when you're finished with their poridge, Why don't we try their beds?
[to Rodney] Want some?
Dr. McKayHow good is it?
Leave it be, Goldilocks.
Do you kill all your violent criminals on Earth?
Dr. McKay[Looks at Col. Sheppard] Certain countries, yes.
Can we not get into this right now?
[The prisoners shoot down the Jumper and it crash lands]
Are you all right?
Dr. McKayI think I chipped a tooth. Did I chip a tooth? Am I bleeding? Because I am a high risk for endocarditis.
[After they walk out of the jumper they find themselves surrounded by the prisoners]
Hi, folks. I hope I didn't crash-land on anybody.
