Teyla Emmagan quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Dr. McKay

[to a rescue team] Alright, people, let's do this one by the numbers. We get in, we get our man, we get out. Stay sharp and stay alive!

Dr. Beckett

[in disbelief] What are you on about?

Dr. McKay

Oh, just things that Sheppard would say, so I thought I would, um ...

Teyla

Well said, Rodney.

Teyla

Is that what made all these people kill each other?

Dr. McKay

I hope so.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

You hope so?

Dr. McKay

Otherwise, there are two bizarre things going on, and one is more than enough for me, thank you very much.

Teyla

Why do you refer to him as the Oracle?

The Oracle is a wise and omnipotent deity.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[to Ronon] Boy, she’s in for a rude awakening.

Teyla

I am sorry, Herick, but we have scanned the surface of your planet. If your world was at war with the Wraith, the war was lost many years ago.

Dr. McKay

More like centuries. I mean, there is nothing down there but ruins and plant life.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Dial up the sensitivity a notch, all right?

Teyla

What is that?

Ronon

A piece of an arm, it looks like.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Lets hope that slows it down.

Dr. McKay

Maybe it'll bleed to death.

Ronon

Or just grow another arm.

Ronon

Who do you think is going to replace her?

Teyla

I don't know. [pause]

Ronon

Whoever it is, they're going to have tough shoes to fill.

Teyla

Yes.

Dr. Keller

[About her dream] It was terrifying. There you were with this disgusting alien bug crawling out of your stomach and Colonel Sheppard was acting as it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen.

Ronon

It sounds like that movie.

Keller

Yeah, Alien. Have you seen it?

Teyla

Colonel Sheppard speaks of it often.

McKay

I remember the first time I saw it. Certainly did not think it was cool.

Keller

Have you had any nightmares lately?

Not a night goes by. Last night I dreamt that Colonel Carter invited me to her quarters for dinner.

Teyla

Maybe you shouldn’t be telling us this, Rodney.

Keller

Yeah, I said nightmare, not delusional male fantasy.

Wait and listen. Turns out she was serving lemon chicken. I mean, lemon, and the only reason she invited me to dinner was to tell me she was promoting Zelenka over me.

That’s it?

Then I was eaten by a whale. Don’t ask how that happened.

McKay

Well, that's pi, it's 3.14159265 etc, etc... Oh, t-that doesn't count, that's easy.

Teyla

You are a scientist, Rodney, that is what you care about, that is what you will hang on to the longest.

McKay

Right, right, so... [pause] Wait a minute, doesn't that make me a really bad person?

Teyla

It makes you the type of person who is going to save all our lives.

Keller

Ibuprofen. Helps with the pain and swelling.

Teyla

Yes, Dr. McKay uses them frequently, along with antihistamines, antacids, motion-sickness pills…

Keller

You forgot the prescription I wrote him for restless leg syndrome.

Teyla

The taste leaves much to be desired but it will sustain you.

Keller

[grimacing] Oh, no thanks. I'm not hungry.

Teyla

You should eat.

Keller

[to herself] This was my least favourite part of 'Survivor'.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

[Typing in Rodney's password, who thinks Sheppard can't remember it] 16431879196842. See, it doesn't take a genius.

Teyla

I-it doesn't?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

1643 is the year Isaac Newton was born. 1879, Einstein. And 1968...

Teyla

The year Rodney was born.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Never underestimate the size of that man's ego.

Teyla

Weren't there other numbers?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

42.

Teyla

What is that?

Lt. Col. Sheppard

It's the ultimate answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything.

Teyla

I knew you would doubt me. I should not have said anything.

Dr. McKay

Hey, I've been cocooned inside an alien spacecraft; I've had another person living inside me; I've encountered not one, but two different versions of myself, so who am I to judge? If you say it was a vision, then I believe it was a vision.

Dr. McKay

I seriously doubt it was a vision.

Teyla

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.

Dr. McKay

Really?

Ronon

No.

[doing the bad-cop routine] I don't give a damn about your trade secrets. We wanna know where you got this stuff.

And if I don't tell you, what are you gonna do? I recognise those uniforms; I've heard the stories. People from Atlantis – do-gooders of the galaxy. You wouldn't hurt me.

Teyla

[steps out of the shadows of the room] I am wearing no uniform.

[noticing her obvious pregnancy] A pregnant woman! How intimidating!

Teyla

I will inform the villagers that you are a Wraith-worshipper and let them determine their own justice.
