John Sheppard quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Ronon

I watched it last night. There was hardly any fighting.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

It's not about fighting.

Ronon

Then why's it called Blades of Glory?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

It is about skate blades.

Ronon

And this is a real sport? Men and women dancing around on ice?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Unfortunately.

Ronon

Your planet's weird.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You can say that again.

Ronon Dex

So, um, what happened to the rest of her?

Dr. Lee

Oh, uh, they deactivated the bond between her nanites, effectively breaking her into base elements.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

They scrapped her.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Colonel, wanna place a bet?

What's going on here?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Just a friendly sparring match.

It looks anything but friendly.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

No, it's good for them. They're just blowing off some steam.

How long have they been at it?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

About an hour or so.

An hour?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Not even taking any breaks.

They are now.

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!

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

[after Sheppard assists him in putting on his pack] Thank you. I must be a wee bit rusty.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You're not rusty, Doc. You were just never very good at this.

Dr. Beckett

Fair enough!

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

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

It's closing.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

I see that.

Dr. McKay

It's closing quickly.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[annoyed] I got it.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

What are you gonna name the kid?

Teyla

Well, if it's all right with you, I was thinking of Torren John, after my father and after you.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Really? Wow.

Dr. Keller

McKay's gonna hate that.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

I would be very honored.

Woolsey

[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. McKay

What, right now?

Woolsey

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.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

It's a nice speech. Very inspiring.

Kneel.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You know, what'd be really creepy and unexpected is if you knelt instead. [Tyre kicks him down] I guess not.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[Over radio] Rodney, was that you?

Dr. McKay

[Smug] Yes. Why, do you think we have a ghost on board?

Dr. McKay

Will you please not touch anything?!

Dr. McKay

[over radio] Are you sure?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Well, we're not imagining it Rodney.

Dr. McKay

Let me transfer the sensors down to the station, at least I could- Whoa... you're definitely not imagining that...

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Thanks for the vote of confidence!
