John Sheppard quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Sheppard

Sure about that?

That's why we're here. You fly the ship and I record the inputs, so I can replicate them.

Sheppard

Okay, but...

Enough. [draws his gun] Fly the damn ship.

Sheppard

Right. I was just gonna say: "You said 'start by moving the ship forward' when you should've said 'start by initializing the inertial dampeners'."

Sheppard

What's going on?

Sheppard

Ow! What was that for?

Sheppard

Stop that!

Larrin

I'll stop, if you'll stop lying! You broadcasted a signal, didn't you?

Sheppard

Yes.

Sheppard

You said you'd stop!

Sheppard

Sure you wanna go through with this? If you don't make it, I'll feel responsible and, well I really don't need the guilt.

Larrin

I'll be fine as long as you don't shoot too early. I'm sure that's not the first time you've heard that from a woman.

Sheppard

On the other hand, I might be able to live with it!

McKay

No, there's something you're not telling us - she was hot, wasn't she?

Sheppard

I don't know what you're talking about.

McKay

Aw, I knew it. That is so typical.

Sheppard

She had me beat Rodney! She threatened to kill me several times. It wasn't like we were hanging out in the spa together.

McKay

Whatever. All that I know is that every time I get taken captive, it's the Wraith. Just once, I would like to be taken prisoner by the sexy alien.

Sheppard

Well, you may still have a chance.

Ronon

What do you mean?

Sheppard

She's still out there...

Sheppard

You showing any signs?

McKay

Headache.

Sheppard

Yeah, same here.

McKay

Five bucks says you start losing your memories first.

Sheppard

Rodney!

Sheppard

That's right, I'm your Commanding officer, so you should do what I say.

Yes, sir. What are our orders?

Sheppard

Do what he says.

Carter

You have had more experience with the Wraith than just about anyone, and in particular with this Wraith. You have a history.

Sheppard

Well, it's not like we're dating.

Sheppard

Have you learned any new information yet?

No, not yet. The NID is liaising with CSIS [pronounced see-sis] on the ground. They are expecting us.

Sheppard

C-what now?

McKay

Canadian Security Intelligence Services. They're kind of like your CIA.

Sheppard

[sarcastically] CSIS, that's the best you guys can do, huh?

Ronon

[hopeful] Tell me you have something!

Sheppard

Devlin Medical Technologies.

Ronon

That means...

Sheppard

You've got somebody to point your gun at.

Ronon

[enthused] Sweet!

Wait a minute. we can't go back to Atlantis because we're a security risk.

Sheppard

He - I have a point.

Colonel.

Colonel.

Colonel.

Colonels.

Colonel.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Colonels.

Dr. McKay

[grimacing] Seriously?

McKay

I mean, it'll take them some time to adapt, to figure out how to function within the new parameters.

Carter

How much time?

McKay

Well, I mean, I hate to speculate.

Sheppard

Oh? Since when?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[Typing in Rodney's password, who thinks Sheppard can't remember it] 16431879196842. See, it doesn't take a genius.

Teyla

I-it doesn't?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

1643 is the year Isaac Newton was born. 1879, Einstein. And 1968...

Teyla

The year Rodney was born.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Never underestimate the size of that man's ego.

Teyla

Weren't there other numbers?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

42.

Teyla

What is that?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

It's the ultimate answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything.

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.
