McKay, stay here and help Beckett.
Medical research isn't really my thing.
And hunting the Wraith?
Uh, I meant I could stay, and... help... Beckett
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Never could get into Biology. It's too much information about the human body. One time I took it as an undergraduate, I diagnosed myself with half a dozen separate medical conditions before I had to drop the class.
[preoccupied looking through a microscope] Really?
Yeah, believe it or not, back then I was a bit of a hypochondriac.
You know, this does require a bit of concentration.
[snarky and obnoxious] What? Am I bothering you?
[Dr. Beckett is wheeling Col. Sheppard into the Infirmary on a gurney]
This really isn't necessary, Doc.
Yes it is, you've got a serious laceration on your arm and you've lost a good deal of blood.
Well enjoy the ride, Colonel, they're making me walk.
You have a splinter Rodney.
Yeah, a nasty, painful splinter.
[Dr. Beckett and a team of scientists are working on a way to cure Sheppard. Dr. Beckett suggests gene therapy]
SScientist
I have no doubt that we could program the cells if we had them, but we don't have the time to artificially create gene therapy of that magnitude without newer cells. The only samples we have are from a bug that died over a year ago.
Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that we need to go on an egg hunt.
Maybe we should make a diversion.
Are you volunteering?
I'll shut up.
[Before entering the cave full of iratus bugs McKay zips his collar up]
You don't seriously think that's gonna help do ya?
Well, when they see your neck before mine, you won't think it's stupid.
(later) [Dr. Beckett zips up his jacket before going to collect eggs]
See, not so stupid now is it?
Oh shut up.
[about the ship]
When will it arrive?
[to himself] Let's see, carry the four. [to Dr. Weir] 42 million years. Shall we go wait on the porch?
Any way to figure out what they're saying?
Yes, of course, it says right here, "Why is the smart one having to stop and answer so many questions?"
[about going in one of the pods]
But is it safe?
Would I be volunteering to go if it wasn't?
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?
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.
More of the same.
Shh. I am counting. I do not want to lose my place.
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.
[Pointing at Trebal, who is a Wraith in disguise] That's the Wraith.
She's the Wraith?
Yeah.
Wow, she's hot. I mean seriously hot.
Rodney, you're drooling over a Wraith.
I know, I disgust myself sometimes.
The communiqué's been erased.
Why would the Wraith do that?
Well, it says right here, "I, the Wraith, delete this important information to keep you from seeing it."
LFLt. Ford
You didn't really buy that "I want to go home" speech, did you? Always underestimated me, Sheppard. You need to stop doing that. Complete the mission and McKay lives.
We can't complete the mission, Ford. It's a bad plan.
LFLt. Ford
You said it was a great plan.
You didn't buy the whole “it's a great plan” speech, did you?
R2, I need you to turn the auto pilot off. Now! [Nothing happens] Worth a try.
I don't even know your name.
In time, you will tell me every...
[Queen stares into space, hisses at Sheppard, then leaves]
Every what? What's wrong?
[Guards take Lt. Col. Sheppard from the room]
She didn't even tell me her name.
