Stargate Atlantis · Season 1
[To Sheppard] If this works, we should be able to track every Aurora-class Replicator ship in the galaxy in realtime.
[A few ships show up on the screen, each one accompanied by an audible blip]
Well, that's not so bad. I guess the Wraith have really taken a toll.
[More blips, the number of ships doubles]
On the other hand, my duplicate did say they were building more...
[More blips, still more ships appear]
A lot more.
[The screen fades out. After a beat, more blips are heard]
Oh, crap...
[the Apollo and Daedalus have arrived at Atlantis]
Both ships at the same time. This is a first.
Well, it's the first time we've needed them.
[Sheppherd and Rodney both give her a pointed look]
[embarrassed] Well, since I've been here...
Colonel.
Colonel.
[They turn to Carter]
Colonel.
Colonels.
[They turn to Sheppard]
Colonel.
Colonels.
[grimacing] Seriously?
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.
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.
Yeah, well, I thought I was ingeniouser.
[Todd looks at Rodney and starts to say something, but is cut off]
Yes, I know it's not a word, Mr. Helpful.
I mean, it'll take them some time to adapt, to figure out how to function within the new parameters.
How much time?
Well, I mean, I hate to speculate.
Oh? Since when?
I must say, Rodney, this is quite an ingenious idea.
[smug] Were you expecting anything less?
[hesitant] Well...
Well what?
Well, you have been in a bit of a rut lately.
[indignant] I have not!
OK, well, like a dry spot, maybe.
That is not true.
OK...
It is not!
I'm all yours. What would you like to try now?
Actually, unencumbered by the continual need to explain things to you, I've actually made remarkable progress.
Oh, really?
Mmm. [they start walking into the lab] The systems the Ancients had in place were designed to create fully functional humanoid replicants, right?
[suddenly pensive] ...yes.
Well, turns out that trying to create something much simpler is – ironically – much more difficult. In the end I was forced to compromise.
Wait, you're not suggesting that...
Ah, I know it wasn't part of the plan but it was either this or nothing.
[Arriving at the Ancient table, Rodney gestures to...]
[smiling warmly at Radek] Hello.
[somewhere between shock, horror, and awe] ...oh, my.
[McKay is describing his plan of eliminating the Replicators]
[casually] Whole planet will be destroyed in the process.
You don't mess around, do you?
[aboard the Daedalus approaching the Replicator homeworld]
This is quite exciting.
It's a bit nerve-wracking, yeah.
I quite look forward to it.
...you do?
Yes. One always wishes to achieve one's purpose.
Right. And you're...okay with this?
Of course. Why would I not be? It's my reason for being.
Well, you know, you're going to...cease to be.
[matter-of-factly] Yes.
Well, I just...I just imagined you'd rather keep being than, uh ... uh, than not.
[Zelenka, in the background, edges away looking uncomfortable]
Surely you're not worried for me, Doctor?
Worried? No, of course not. That would be silly.
Yes. It would.
[McKay nods and steps away, whispering to Zelenka]
Should never have given it speech...
[About to be 'almost' fed on by a Wraith Queen] Great, in my entire life I was never chosen first. And now fate decides to restore the balance.
[referring to Ronon's latest injury]
Another sparring accident?
Actually... I slipped in the shower.
Really?
No, sparring accident. [grins]
This is the third time this week I've had to patch you up... You know, there are a lot of other ways you could spend your free time.
Not as much fun though.
[Typing in Rodney's password, who thinks Sheppard can't remember it] 16431879196842. See, it doesn't take a genius.
I-it doesn't?
1643 is the year Isaac Newton was born. 1879, Einstein. And 1968...
The year Rodney was born.
Never underestimate the size of that man's ego.
Weren't there other numbers?
What is that?
It's the ultimate answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything.
[Teyla stares at him blankly.]
[Ronon and Dr. Keller tried to blow a door open with an oxygen tank, like in Jaws. The door stays shut.]
A lot stronger than a shark.
[to Rodney] More searching, less complaining.
Sorry, I'm hungry. When I'm hungry, I get cranky.
And when you get cranky, you get hit.
Okay, okay....
