[Ronon is eating in the commissary, looking on in boredom as Walter rambles until Sheppard enters]

Ronon

[hopeful] Tell me you have something!

Devlin Medical Technologies.

Ronon

That means...

You've got somebody to point your gun at.

Ronon

[enthused] Sweet!

[referring to Ronon's latest injury]

Keller

Another sparring accident?

Ronon

Actually... I slipped in the shower.

Keller

Really?

Ronon

No, sparring accident. [grins]

Keller

This is the third time this week I've had to patch you up... You know, there are a lot of other ways you could spend your free time.

Ronon

Not as much fun though.

Ronon

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

It's not about fighting.

Ronon

Then why's it called Blades of Glory?

It is about skate blades.

Ronon

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

Unfortunately.

Ronon

Your planet's weird.

You can say that again.

[Referring to Ava Dixon]

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.

[Ronon looks at Sheppard in confusion]

They scrapped her.

[Ronon smiles faintly]

[On seeing one of the SGC's dead personnel]

Ronon

He was fed on by the Wraith. That's not a good way to go.

TCTeal'c

Indeed.

Ronon

You say that a lot.

TCTeal'c

What?

Ronon

"Indeed".

TCTeal'c

Do I?

Ronon

Yeah.

TCTeal'c

I had not noticed.

[After using Ronon's gun to kill a Wraith]

TCTeal'c

[examining the gun] I would very much like to have a weapon such as this.

Ronon

[taking the gun from Teal'c] Yeah. Get in line.

I purchased the pendant from an artisan in Croya, the village we are about to visit. Among the Athosians, it's quite common to present such gifts as expressions of admiration and respect.

Ronon

[to McKay] Hey. Maybe I'll pick you something up while we're there.

Really?

Ronon

No.

View quote →

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?

Unfortunately, no.

Well, there's always next time.

Rodney?

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.

[explaining his plan to destroy Michael's facility] I was going to write an elaborate program designed to slowly create a fatal error in the primary capacitor, but I doubt there'll be time for that now.

Ronon

I was just gonna blow it up.

[exasperated] Naturally.

Ronon

They're in weapons range!

[the ship starts taking damage]

Return fire!

Ronon

I'm trying!

[the alien fighters keep closing, Ronon starts bashing the console]

Easy, Chewie! Those buttons are your friends! Just keep trying!

Ronon

[yells] I'M TRYING!!!

[the engine controls go down]

That's it, sublight's gone for good this time!

[the Alternate Daedalus crawls to a halt when the attackers suddenly start to explode]

Ronon

What the hell was that?

F-302s. It's Atlantis!

[a massive dogfight begins]

[nervous] What's happening?

We got some help from some friends, guess we're on the right side after all-

ASAlternate Sheppard

Daedalus, this is Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, do you read? [Sheppard and Ronon look at each other confused] Daedalus, do you read?

Yeah, Daedalus, uh, this is Daedalus, come in.

ASAlternate Sheppard

Who-Who is this?

It's a long story!

ASAlternate Sheppard

Well, whoever you are you saved our asses when you took out their main weapons. I think the least we can do is return the favor.

I'd much appreciate it.

Ronon

Uh, Sheppard...

Oh, crap! [takes out a fighter that was trying to crash into the bridge]

ASAlternate Sheppard

Sorry about that, one of 'em got through. Nice shooting, though.

Oh, thanks...

[McKay is hit by an alien's weapon]

Oh, OW! OW!! OWW!!! [ducks into cover] I GOT SHOT!!! Ow...

Ronon

Thought we got them all! [fires]

Apparently not! [fires]

A Puddle Jumper is flying up from the planet. Sheppard's team is on board.

Ronon

What the hell was that thing?

It just appeared out of nowhere.

And that shriek scared the crap out of me.

Kind of a ... flying monkey.

Flying monkeys! What is this, the planet of Oz?!

View quote →

What is this place?

Ronon

It's the Shrine of Talus.

That means nothing to me.

Ronon

It's a planet of the Ancestors. We brought you here.

Thank you, Mr. Information! Look, since when did he become Ronon the Explainer? And why am I not in the Infirmary, huh? What, am I better?! [realises] I am better!

View quote →

It is the gift of the Shrine, and from all of us who risked great danger to bring you here. One last chance to be with those you love.

And then what? [with no answer, he realises the answer] I die!?

Ronon

With honour.

And dignity.
