Carson Beckett quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Dr. Beckett

The dots don't tell us much about who's who. How do we know which one's the Major?

He'll be the dot getting rid of all the other dots.

Anything I see moving is gonna get shot.

Dr. Beckett

[concerned] So what if it's the Major?

Then he'll get hit with a Wraith Stunner instead of a P-90.

Dr. Beckett

What if he sees us first?

He'll probably hear you first.

Dr. Beckett

Are you telling me to shut up again?

Again.

Dr. Beckett

Just try to stay calm.

Calm?! You told me I have a million tiny robots running through my veins whose only purpose is to terrorize and kill me. You stay calm!

Dr. Weir

So, recommendations?

Dr. Beckett

Other than panic?

Dr. Weir

Other than panic, yes.

Dr. Beckett

What shall I say?

Uh…uh…"I miss you"? "I wish you were here"?

Dr. Beckett

I wish who was here?

I don't know. Who do you wish was here?

Dr. Beckett

Nobody! I wish I wasn't bloody here!

Dr Beckett

A very small part.

Dr Weir

Which makes her about as different from us as you, because of the Ancient gene you possess.

Dr McKay

Well, and some other things.

Dr McKay

So you think this Wraith scientist was trying to make humans what, more tasty?

Dr Weir

The log seems to indicate that he was looking for a way to make the feeding process more efficient.

Dr McKay

But I thought you said they already had a number of genetic characteristics similar to humans.

Dr Beckett

They do. But they're still much closer to the bug creature that attacked Major Sheppard than to us.

Maj. Sheppard

Hey! I thought we weren't going to mention that anymore.

Dr. Weir

You said you wanted the best.

Dr. Beckett

But all of these people are more qualified than I am, how am I supposed to choose between them?!

Dr. Weir

Dr. Beckett, you are my chief medical head, I have full trust in you to make the right decision.

Dr. Beckett

[smiles] Well, when you put it that way...

Dr. McKay

My nose is peeling! [to Carson] Do you have, uh, any moisturizer?

Dr. Beckett

Yes Rodney.

Dr. McKay

Oh, we should get that.

Dr. Beckett

[sigh] Yes Rodney.

Dr. Weir

Pack up what you need.

Dr. Beckett

I don't think an operating room and bloody army would fit through the gate.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You heard of Androcles and the lion?

Dr. Beckett

Aye. And who are you in this retelling? The Romans?

Dr. Beckett

Look, I just wanna say one last time: I really don't think this is a good idea. We're cutting very close to your spinal column here, if you're to flinch...

Ronon

I won't flinch.

Dr. Beckett

You have a date Rodney? With a woman?

Dr. McKay

It is simply two adults sharing some friendly— Yes, with a woman!

Dr. McKay

Never could get into Biology. It's too much information about the human body. One time I took it as an undergraduate, I diagnosed myself with half a dozen separate medical conditions before I had to drop the class.

Dr. Beckett

[preoccupied looking through a microscope] Really?

Dr. McKay

Yeah, believe it or not, back then I was a bit of a hypochondriac.

Dr. Beckett

You know, this does require a bit of concentration.

Dr. McKay

[snarky and obnoxious] What? Am I bothering you?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

This really isn't necessary, Doc.

Dr. Beckett

Yes it is, you've got a serious laceration on your arm and you've lost a good deal of blood.

Dr. McKay

Well enjoy the ride, Colonel, they're making me walk.

Dr. Beckett

You have a splinter Rodney.

Dr. McKay

Yeah, a nasty, painful splinter.
