[looking out over Atlantis] I wouldn't miss this for the world. You know the number of times I tried to get here?
Only two of those times were my fault.

[looking out over Atlantis] I wouldn't miss this for the world. You know the number of times I tried to get here?
Only two of those times were my fault.
Well, good luck, and listen, if McKay gives you a hard time, just…
Shoot him.
Also, he's mortally allergic to citrus.
Really?
I keep one with me at all times. [pulls a lemon from his vest pocket] It's just a comfort to know… [tosses the lemon to Mitchell] …it's there.
I am just saying, the yield calculations can be extremely tricky, if not borderline impossible. [smugly] You may need me.
Colonel Carter said as much.
Ooohhhh, we weren't going to tell him that.
Ah, this place is Daniel Disneyland.
But um, first, I just wanted to thank you for being there for me recently in a time of great personal need. Well, actually, you weren't there— I was alone in the dark, but um, you know, it sure seemed like you were.
[suspiciously] Are you telling me one of your fantasies?
No it was a hallucination, I had a concussion, I was trapped in the back of a sinking Jumper and my mind conjured you up as a means of survival, it's what you would do in my situation. You saved my life
OK well, that's… sort of nice.
Mmm. Yes it was.
Was I naked?
[slightly embarrassed] Partially.
[regarding McKay] You know, Cam, he's not wrong. As much as it pains me to say it, the data from our first attempt supports his argument.
Well, like my grandma used to say, "if at first you don't succeed…"
[wryly] "…try a larger thermonuclear reaction?"
Her words exactly.
[to Morgan Le Fay] I believe you. I do. I mean, I understand the fine line you have to walk. I realize the risk you're taking just showing yourself. But I'm sorry, I want more. You can pass that on to your friends as well. [to the room] Yeah, I know you're listening, [to Le Fay, in full passionate-speech mode] Because I am getting sick of hidden clues and cryptic messages. And Merlin was right that the Ori are a threat. But not only to us "lowers," not only to the billions of humans throughout this galaxy, but to your own existence. Because when this war is over, and every soul that's left alive is praying to the Ori, feeding their need to be worshipped, you know who they're gonna come for next. I won't pretend to know what that war will look like, or in what battlefield it will take place, but then, I won't be alive to see it.
If we interfere, we are no better than the Ori.
I understand that is at the very core of what you are, of what you believe, but I'm talking about survival here. If you really are trying to help, then help yourself.
[regarding the Ascended] I think I understand why you came back, Daniel. I wouldn't have liked their company either.
