Eli Wallace quotes from Stargate Universe

Eli

I know, it was a mirage, but when we were walking over that last dune, I thought I saw the Statue of Liberty sticking half out of the sand, just for a second there! I was all ready to yell, "Damn you! Damn you all to hell!" (pause) Oh, come on, that was funny!

Eli

Whoa. Looks like we entered the Hoth system.

Eli

The Empire Strikes Back? The second Star Wars movie.

Eli

What .. the ...

Eli

I remember as a kid, I was ... I dunno, maybe seven or eight ... my grandfather died and my parents took me to the funeral. Watching his casket getting lowered into the ground, it ... it was the first time that I realized I was gonna die one day. I mean, I knew people died. I'm talking about the idea that my consciousness was gonna end. I wasn't gonna see what happened to the world.

Eli

(regarding friends) You can never have too many, unless you're one of those people on Facebook who just accepts everyone's friend requests. It's like, come on, ya know. Be a little selective.

Wallace

The other side of the universe, Mom.

Eli

(Unhappily, to Amanda Perry, who is using Ginn's body) You know, sometimes, with the stones, it's easy to forget you're in another person's body.

This is the spot where we're gonna break ground. Hard to imagine now, but one day - hopefully - this will all be one big city. Oh! And we-we took a final vote last night to name the planet. I suggested it should be something in Ancient. Volker said Novus Mundus, which means "new world." While appropriate, nobody really liked the sound of "mundus" ... except Volker.

Eli

Holy crap, we dialed Pittsburgh.

Eli Wallace

Whatever you guys think that I did, I swear you've got the wrong guy.

Do I look like someone who'd be standing here if I didn't already know everything there is to know about you?

Eli Wallace

No, not really.

I need to get these people out of here.

We have a way out.

We don't know what's on the other side. Dammit, Rush!

Eli Wallace

It can't be worse than here, can it?

Eli

Why'd you do that?

He told me to.

I saved his life.

Eli

By shooting him?!

Eli

Uh, what are we so happy about?

We're gonna live, Eli.

Eli

What about the turbulence and the heat and the death?

No, all of that would have happened by now. The shield is protecting us.

Chloe

But you said we were out of power.

I was absolutely certain of that, and I've never been more pleased to be wrong in all my life.

Hi.

Eli

Me?

What's your name?

Eli

Phil. Can I buy you a drink?

I have one.

Eli

Yes, you do. Wanna dance.

Sure.

Eli

Oh my God, this is awesome.

Chloe

You see those two over there? My best friend Celina and my ex-boyfriend.

Eli

You could do better. D'you wanna dance?

Chloe

I think I wanna go over there and punch him in the face.
