Volker quotes from Stargate Universe

Hey, T.J., there's a whole section here on stem cell-like procedure for post-op anti-rejection. It's only a hundred and seventy-six pages! A little light afternoon reading!

Something wrong?

On the contrary. So far it seems like everything you said is true.

About the Ancients finding evidence of a signal once being broadcast across the universe.

It is amazing. Distinct structure in the background radiation.

That sounds like static to me.

Eli

Were you expecting “Stairway to Heaven?"

(over the communications) Hello? Can anyone hear me? Hello?

That sounds like Caine!

Caine's more monotone than that.

Yeah, he's also in another galaxy.

Still no sign of activity from the drones. Looks like they've all gone dormant.

(pats Eli on the arm) See what you can do when you apply yourself?

So, what's he like?

I didn't know him that well, actually.

Wallace

But you said you worked with him.

Yeah, well, what can I tell you?

He's the type of man who likes to keep secrets.

(quietly) Yeah, we know the type!

"Also sprach Zarathustra." It's the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

So why didn't you just say that?

Because that's not what it's called. It's called "Also sprach Zarathustra." Thus spoke Zarathustra. It's by Strauss.

Yeah, but nobody knows it by that name, so why not just say the name that people ...

Look you asked what my favourite piece of music was and I'm just telling you. That's what it is.

Yeah, I'm just saying ...

It's the one piece that reminds me of the very moment I wanted to be an astrophysicist.

Right, when you saw "2001"?

Yes.

Thought a little music might help you relax.

The theme to "2001"?!

(points to her while looking triumphantly at Volker) Ah!

It's not very relaxing, is it?

No.

Ahh, I'm in constant pain. I think my ankle's broken. Every time I move ...

Well, hang in there. How bout you?

According to the medical scan, a cracked rib.

Ha! I should be so lucky!

Eli

The people on the expedition were all from one country, called Tenara. They followed the teachings of this book, the Testament, which apparently some of us wrote.

Wait. "Tenara." That's Ancient. That means the Land of the Young.

Or the Land of Young.

Eli

There was also another group of evacuees who ... (rolls his eyes) ... blamed the other me for what happened.

Eli

They thought Rush was still onboard Destiny and would one day come and rescue them. Eventually he became some kind of a saviour figure. They broke off and formed a country of their own.

Oh, let me guess: Rusha?

That's funny!

Eli

They called it Futura.

Really?

What's wrong with Futura?

It's a dumb name.

Yeah? How is it dumb?

Eli

Apparently ... (Nods toward Brody) ... he came up with it.

I can't believe you helped found an entire country based on the hopes that he would come and rescue you!

I can't believe you named it Futura!

Shut up.

Seriously, isn't that a font?

There are those somewhat less enlightened among our people who believe he is a demon who rips souls from human bodies and takes them to hell, where they suffer for all eternity.

It's funny how things have a way of getting twisted and exaggerated over time.

While others don't!

(Standing in front of a electronics store named "Draxxon Electronics," he sighs heavily) What kind of city doesn't have a gun store?

Maybe they're Canadian.
