Teyla Emmagan quotes from Stargate Atlantis

Dr. McKay

So, ummmmm, how are you doing?

Teyla

The pain is very great.

Dr. McKay

Oh...yeah I-I had a kidney stone once....incredibly painful....same kinda thing I'm told so yeah I hear you. Actually my cat and I had one at the same time and we were not fun to be around I'll tell you that much. He got his because he was eating too much dry cat food and I got mine because I wasn't drinking enough liquids, so that's why you see me drinking lots of water because I have no desire to experience that kind of pain again.

Teyla

[panting while talking] Fascinating story. Thank you...

Lt. Col. Sheppard

What are you gonna name the kid?

Teyla

Well, if it's all right with you, I was thinking of Torren John, after my father and after you.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Really? Wow.

Dr. Keller

McKay's gonna hate that.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

I would be very honored.

Teyla

Today he's decided that he will only sleep as long as I hold him and keep moving. I've already walked half the city and back again.

Dr. Keller

My parents used to put me in the car. My dad would have to drive around and around and around the block at three o'clock in the morning!

Teyla

Hmm. That would be lovely. At least I'd be sitting down!

Ronon

What the hell was that thing?

Teyla

It just appeared out of nowhere.

Dr. McKay

And that shriek scared the crap out of me.

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Kind of a ... flying monkey.

Dr. McKay

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

Teyla

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.

Dr. McKay

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

Ronon

With honour.

Teyla

And dignity.

Dr. McKay

Yeah, well, screw that! I'll just stay here!

Lt. Col. Sheppard

Jervis taken care of?

Teyla

He and his men have been locked up. They will not be giving us any more trouble. Though I do not think it was necessary to stun them.

Ronon

Felt good, though.

Woolsey

You're being asked to fly to another galaxy...to take - what might turn out to be the losing part - in a battle that isn't yours.

Ronon

You mean like everyone on this base has been doing for the past five years?

Teyla

Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Woolsey, but I assure you it is not necessary.

Ronon

We're not goin' anywhere.

Woolsey

[proudly] Very well.
