Stargate Atlantis · Season 1
[into radio] Hey, you. Over here. On the ground: the radio.
[The Wraith turns to spot the radio lying next to him on the ground]
[speaking aloud] The days on this planet are long, but the nights are cold. Sooner or later, I will have you.
I can’t hear you threatening to suck the life out of me ‘til you hit the button on the radio.
[After Aiden has managed to fail all his prime number guesses]
Lt. Ford, would you mind being the subject of research papers on statistical improbabilities?
Is this some sort of payback for guys like me beating up guys like you in high school?
[during combat training]
You have not been practicing.
Yes I have.
If this was really a fight -
If this was really a fight, I would have shot you by now.
Just try to stay calm.
Calm?! You told me I have a million tiny robots running through my veins whose only purpose is to terrorize and kill me. You stay calm!
[Major Sheppard is on his way in a Puddle Jumper to drop a naquadah generator converted into a bomb]
You'll only have 30 seconds to release it before it explodes, you need to get as far away as you can.
Get as far away from the nuclear explosion as possible. That's good advice, Rodney. Thanks.
[after Chaya delivers the message that Athar cannot help Atlantis]
Well, I think we both knew what you were going to say long before you even went in there.
[unhappy] We prayed for Athar's guidance.
And what did Athar say? You're hiding behind your religion to justify your complete and utter selfishness.
Rodney -
If Athar existed she would be ashamed of herself.
What my people value most is spiritual knowledge. What can your culture provide in that regard?
Earth's people don't share a single Spiritual belief - we embrace a number of different religions and philosophies: Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam -
Hinduism ... Kwanzaa.
All I know is she's not who she's pretending to be.
You know this because…?
What, I'm not allowed to have intuition?
You? No.
Oh.
Word of caution? The whole "Captain Kirk" routine is problematic to say the least, let alone morally dubious.
What routine?
The romancing of the alien priestess? It's very 1967 of you.
According to the database, she's been in there for ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years?!
Doesn't look a day over nine thousand.
[Beckett is told to rouse his (very) elderly patient]
Ten thousand years… d'you expect her to dance a bloody jig?
Is time-travel possible?
Well, according to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, there's nothing in the laws of physics to prevent it. Extremely difficult to achieve, mind you – you need the technology to manipulate black holes to create wormholes not only through points in space, but time.
Not to mention a really nice De Lorean.
Don't even get me started on that movie!
I liked that movie!
The Puddle Jumper they escaped in must have been some sort of a time machine. It had to have an additional component built into it.
Flux capacitor!
...Yeah.
I died?!
You never gave up trying, right until the end.
[shocked] Well, a man wonders how he would choose to go out, given such dire circumstances. Now I know.
Trying to save the lives of others.
[smug] But ultimately failing!
[upon learning that Alternate John died]
[smugly grinning] Ha! Ah, the bitter taste of ultimate failure, hmm?
Well, if you’d just figured out how to fix the damn shield in the first place, none of us would have died.
[Alternate Weir smiles at their bickering]
I did everything I could, including valiantly attempting to save your sorry-
Gentlemen, focus.
