S1 E15Unfinished Business

RReceptionist

I'll just need you both to sign this non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. [he heaves two thick documents onto the counter in front of McKay and Keller with a "thud"]

Oh, you're not serious.

RReceptionist

[sharply] Is there a problem, sir?

This whole thing is a confidentiality agreement?!

RReceptionist

[again, sharply] Yes, sir.

What could he possibly be doing back there that needs to be kept two hundred pages secret?!

RReceptionist

If you want to go inside, sir, you need to sign the agreement.

Dinosaurs?

RReceptionist

Excuse me?

Do they have living dinosaurs back there? Because I'll sign this if he's brought dinosaurs back to life, but short of that he's out of his mind if he thinks I'm gonna pretend that whatever discovery he has made is so important and so secret that I have to sign the unabridged works of William Shakespeare here.

[holds up her pen, with measured patience] Juuuuuust sign it.

[McKay takes the pen from Keller sheepishly]

[to the receptionist] You're lucky the lady's here.

[Dr. Keller looks at McKay, looking somewhat exasperated]

Neil likes to steal things from me – things like women and theoretical physics ideas.

TTyson

Yeah, but who hasn't stolen an idea from the great Rodney McKay?!

Oh, so we admit it now!

See, back in the day whenever any one of these people came up with a new idea or published a new paper, Doctor McKay here would swear that he was already working on something very similar; just hadn't gotten around to publishing it yet.

TTyson

He'd say things like, "I was about to say that very same thing," or "I was just about to have that same idea"!

Hey, at least I didn't declassify Pluto from planet status. Way to make all the little kids cry, Neil. That make you feel like a big man?

[McKay has just told Tunney that he's going to rescue Dr. Keller. As a result, Tunney is going to have to implement McKay's plan for solving the crisis.]

Last time I checked, you were claiming to be a genius. I already gave you the plan!

MTMalcolm Tunney

...Plan full of holes!

So, fill them!

MTMalcolm Tunney

But what I run into a problem?

Then work around it!

MTMalcolm Tunney

[heisitates, then, in a small voice] You're smarter than me.

[pause]

I know. [he leaves]

MTMalcolm Tunney

[Yelling after McKay] McKay!

[There is no answer from McKay]

MTMalcolm Tunney

[in a panic, returning to the control console] Gaah! This is outrageous! Just when we need him most, he puts this on me, and I'm supposed to...

Bill Nye grabs Tunney by his lapels, then slaps him across the face]

Man up!

[Tunney's space-time bridge experiment has gone awry and can't be shut down, causing the test facility to cool to near-freezing. We see a man in a wheelchair from behind. He has obviously been talking with Bill Nye

SHStephen Hawking-esque mechanical voice

We get it. It works. Shut it down. I'm starting to freeze to my chair.

I know you'll probably think this sounds ridiculous, but a...little while ago we accidentally opened a rift in space-time. Went through to an alternate version of reality, very similar to ours in many ways. Met a team much like the one I work with, only you were the leader. You were a hero...saved the world several times over.

Doesn't sound much like me.

I don't think there's much difference between you and that other John Sheppard I met. It's amazing how one incident can entirely alter the course of your life. Still...I like to believe you have the same strength of character. That's why I told you the truth.

[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...

[While discussing where the Wraith could be located]

He could have abandoned whatever resources he had and just gone into hiding.

[sarcastically] Oh yes, he probably got a job as a Klingon at Star Trek: The Experience.

That shut down.

Really? Damn, I wanted to see that.

LCLt. Col: Sheppard

[to Todd] If I find out you're playing us, I'm not gonna wait for authorization, there isn't gonna be any paperwork. I'm just gonna kill you.

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.

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

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

We're not goin' anywhere.

[proudly] Very well.

[on radio] Stargate Command, this is Sheppard.

[on radio] Sheppard, where are you?

[on radio] I made it inside. Look, I don't have much time until this place is swarming with Wraith so... I'm arming the nuke.

What did he say, nuke?!

[on radio] John-

[on radio] Just do me a favor, when Atlantis shows up... tell 'em I say goodbye.

Sheppard, this is McKay! Look, stop what you're doing, NOW!!

Yes, it's me! I've got Lorne, I've got Teyla, we're on board the hive!

[confused] What?! But... how?

Look, it's a long story, just... Important thing is, if you're about to do what I think you're gonna do, DON'T!

[later they meet up]

You guys are the last people I expected on this ship!

Same here.

I restored your life, human, and mended your wound.

That was real nice of you...

Now you will answer my questions. How many humans are on my ship? [Ronon doesn't answer, the Wraith pushes it's heel into his wound] Where are they?!

[the Wraith is shot by Sheppard]

How you doin', Chewie?

[confused] You were dead!

We're gonna be dead unless we get out of here!
