Todd quotes from Stargate Atlantis

I believe among your people it is customary to shake hands.

Just a little Wraith humour. [laughs]

[after Sheppard's team points weapons at two Wraith guards moving a Wraith corpse] Ah, don't mind them. They're just here to help with the clean-up.

[poetry] Fish in a pond, busy, busy. Lot's to do here and there. [...] Dry as a desert outside, no place to go. [...] Eat up. Get stronger. Think and hope, think and hope. Don't look now! Oh, keep dreaming...There must be some other reason for your insistence. [...] Defiance tastes like life itself. No river, no water, dry as a desert. Darkness all around...The harvest moon is rising...Wraith are never ending. I know the future. Come inside! I’ll show you your destiny, John Sheppard...

McKay

Look, you don't know me. This is when I'm at my best. This is when I shine: impossible deadlines! Did I ever tell you about the time I once got a damaged Ancient hyperdrive system online moments before me and my crew were incinerated by a supervolcano?

[sighing and rolling eyes] Yes. You have.

McKay

Ellis is gonna love this. I don't get it. We tried reconfiguring your stand-down code; we tried programming the nanites to turn themselves off. Something should've worked.

They are a very complex and ingenious design.

McKay

Yeah, well, I thought I was ingeniouser.

McKay

Yes, I know it's not a word, Mr. Helpful.

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?

Sheppard

Unfortunately, no.

Well, there's always next time.

Sheppard

Rodney?

Dr. McKay

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.

Sheppard

Hmm. Fruit bowl, nice touch.

Well, we picked them up on our travels. I thought it would make our discussions more comfortable. I hope they prove as delicious as the farmers who grew them.

Woolsey

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for having us.

Woolsey

(clears his throat) Today is an historic day. Robert Grosseteste once said...

I would like to get started as soon as possible.

Woolsey

Y-yes, of course. But I wanted to recognise...

I have my doubts that your plan will be effective... so shall we drop these unfounded pleasantries and get to work?

We just dropped out of hyperspace.

[annoyed] Yes, I see that.

I did not think you would come.

Ronon

What are friends for?
