Teyla Emmagan quotes from Stargate Atlantis

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.

LFLt. Ford

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

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

No, no, no, no, he just doesn't like going through the Stargate.

He's worse than Dr. McCoy.

[during combat training]

Teyla

You have not been practicing.

Yes I have.

Teyla

If this was really a fight -

If this was really a fight, I would have shot you by now.

[to John, Aiden and Teyla] I’m heading to bed.

Ah, which bed might that be?

Rodney

Huh, what?

LFLt. Ford

Think Allina might have a little crush on you, Doc.

She does?

Teyla

It is very clear to us all.

It is?

To everyone but you, apparently.

Dr. Weir

Rodney, you can take the rest of the day off.

Oh. I am gonna curl up in bed with the largest sandwich I can find. [lays down on the floor like he's going to go to sleep]

Teyla

Shall I just explain to the rest of the Wraith left on the base that you are unavailable to fight?

Dr McKay

Look, I want to get Ford back just as much as everyone else. But have you seen my complexion?

Teyla

[sarcastictly] Yes.

Dr McKay

It's very fair. This isn't fair.

What the hell are you doing?!

Teyla

Getting my hand free.

Doesn't feel that way!

Teyla

Do you kill all your violent criminals on Earth?

[Looks at Col. Sheppard] Certain countries, yes.

Can we not get into this right now?

View quote →

[The prisoners shoot down the Jumper and it crash lands]

Teyla

Are you all right?

I think I chipped a tooth. Did I chip a tooth? Am I bleeding? Because I am a high risk for endocarditis.

[After they walk out of the jumper they find themselves surrounded by the prisoners]

Hi, folks. I hope I didn't crash-land on anybody.

[about going in one of the pods]

Teyla

But is it safe?

Would I be volunteering to go if it wasn't?

Ronon

No.

Which is exactly what makes it safe enough for me to go.

What?

Better to have you on the outside, In case something goes wrong.

It won't.

But if it does.

It won't. How many times do I have to say this?

Teyla

Rodney. Between the two of you, if something were to go wrong, which would be the greater loss?

Well, I've never thought of it that way, but... Hey she's right. You should go.

[Sheppard is almost ready to go in the pod]

...so when you want to disconnect, you'll need to really concentrate.

You mean, think it.

I think it will probably take a little more that that, otherwise you'd be popping in out of the thing every time it crossed your mind.

So, "There's no place like home"?

If that works for you.

Ronon

More of the same.

Teyla

Shh. I am counting. I do not want to lose my place.

Ronon

I counted 376. No, wait, 398. I forgot about the infirmary. There was 22 in there, or was it 23? [Teyla looks at him like she is very annoyed] Sorry.

Why aren't you dead?

[irked] It's good to see you too, Rodney.

No, no, I mean… well, you know what I mean. Why aren't you… dead?

Well, I knew when the hives started shooting each other that it was only a matter of time before they blew each other up, so I went to the Spacegate, dialled an address and got out of there.

Teyla

Col. Sheppard was kind enough to make us whole again and we all returned to Atlantis.

Teyla

We are grateful for your help, but we could never release you, not with the information you possess.

Michael

Then kill me now!

Teyla

There is another way.

Michael

Take the treatment again?

Teyla

Yes.

Michael

What I am is not a disease you can cure.

View quote →

Look, Teyla. I'm not really good at, uh ... Actually, I'm ... I'm terrible at expressing ... I don't know what you'd call it, uh ...

Teyla

Feelings?

Yeah, sure, okay. The point is, I don't really have good, uh ...

Teyla

Social skills.

Well, that is why I enjoyed flying choppers in the most remote part of my world before all this craziness happened, but, uh, you should know, I don't have, uh ...

Teyla

Friends?

[indignantly] No – I have friends. [pause] You, Elizabeth, Ronon, Carson, even Rodney, are the closest thing I have to a ...

Teyla

A family?

I'd do anything… for any one of you. If I had to give up my life the way Ronon was going to, I would.

Teyla

[smiling] Thank you. For everything you… meant to say.
