John Sheppard quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Sheppard

Well, it's about time. Any longer and we'd have had to save ourselves!

Sheppard

I can see you just fed, which means that your regenerating abilities are at maximum. But I seriously doubt you can grow a new head.

Sheppard

[upon seeing his clone] Great. The last time I came face to face with myself I ended up kicking my own ass.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

(as he desperately waves his hands over control panels trying to activate anything) Okay, this is either the most elaborate practical joke of all time, or I'm in serious trouble here.

Gen. O'Neill

This isn't a long flight, so I'll be as succinct as possible.

Maj. Sheppard

That's pretty succinct.

Gen. O'Neill

Thank you.

Gen. O'Neill

Let me ask you something. [realizes that Sheppard has put on his headset, and therefore cannot hear him; he does the same] Why'd you become a pilot?

Maj. Sheppard

I think people who don't want to fly are crazy.

Gen. O'Neill

Well, I think people who don't want to go through the Stargate are equally as whacked. If you can't give me a yes before we reach McMurdo, I don't even want you.

Maj. John Sheppard

What the heck was that thing anyway?

Dr. Carson Beckett

You mean the drone? The weapon the Ancients built to defend this outpost.

Maj. Sheppard

[clueless] The who?

Dr. Beckett

[glaring at John suspiciously] You do have security clearance to be down here?

Maj. Sheppard

Yeah, General O'Neill just gave it to me.

Dr. Beckett

So you don't even know about the Stargate?

Maj. Sheppard

[confused] The what?

[points to self] Halling.

Maj. Sheppard

I don't know what that means.

Col. Sumner

It's his name.

Teyla

We do not trade with strangers.

Col. Sumner

Is that a fact?

Maj. Sheppard

Well, we'll just have to get to know each other a little better. I like Ferris wheels, college football, and anything that goes more than 200 miles an hour.

Sir, that's not going to mean anything to them.

Maj. Sheppard

I'm just trying to break the ice here, feel free to jump in at any time.

[To Maj. Sheppard] What planet did you come from? Can we go there?.

Maj. Sheppard

I'm afraid not. We come from a galaxy far, far away.

[To Dr. Weir] I am Jinto.

Maj. Sheppard

She's pleased to meet you.

Dr. McKay

The last Zero Point Module is depleted, but limited power. Turned out that our generators aren't going to hold back an ocean. Life support systems are working but the planet's atmosphere's breathable -- well, notwithstanding the inevitable allergens.

Dr. Weir

So now can our naqahdah generators supply enough power to the shield for defensive purposes?

Dr. McKay

Not even close.

Maj. Sheppard

On the surface without a shield? We're target practice.

Dr. McKay

I'm acutely aware of that, Major, but thank you for reinforcing it.

Gateship One, ready to go.

Maj. Sheppard

Gateship One? A little Puddle Jumper like this?

It's a ship, it goes through a gate. Gateship One!

Maj. Sheppard

Oh, no, no, no, that's all wrong.

Dr. McKay thought it was cool.

Maj. Sheppard

Oh, okay, well, it's official... You don't get to name anything. Ever. [into radio] Flight, this is... Puddle Jumper!

Dr. McKay

This is Flight, I thought we were going with Gateship? [Weir gives him a stern, questioning look]

Maj. Sheppard

Negative, Flight.

Dr. McKay

Stand by. [to Weir] It's a ship, it goes through the gate. I thought... Fine. Puddle Jumper, you are clear to go.

Maj. Sheppard

Roger that. Dial it up, lieutenant.

Did you do that?

Maj. Sheppard

I-I was just wondering where we go from here.

I'll take that as a yes. So how do we find them once we land?

Maj. Sheppard

Well, I've been thinking about that, too.

Maj. Sheppard

Now I'm thinking about a nice turkey sandwich.

Worth a try.

[Smiling] So, we got ourselves a life-signs detector.

Maj. Sheppard

[looks aggravated] We can name it later.
