Stargate Universe quotes

We take what ever we want! We do what ever is good for us, regardless of the impact on other planets! What makes us so special?

O'Neill

I know what makes me special.

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.

We were prepared to die the moment we stepped through that gate.

You're insane.

I have learned one thing in all of this and it's that, out here on the edge of the universe, who you are and what you believe is everything, so it's up to you to decide if this is a blessing or a curse.

You'd figure being stranded in this ship in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of strangers would be the problem. But, that... That isn't it exactly, it's not... its not so much being out here so much as not being there... for the... the birthdays, the weddings, the funerals. The simple things, like just taking your nephew on his first day of school, you know, or taking the dog for a walk. You know, just not... being there.

Any more predictions?

(sarcastically) I suspect that very shortly, You'll assemble a team to send over there.

Take care of those people. And, Everett, take care of yourself.

You're gonna keep doing this, are you? Pushing me? Getting me to do something so you can lock me back up?

Back ... to your ... quarters.

Oh, you're talking tough. You're armed; you've got your men here covering you.

That's true! (Smiling, Greer hands his pistol to his colleague. Greer looks to the escort standing next to Simeon)

Dismissed.

You were saying?

Wallace

The other side of the universe, Mom.

Chloe

I'm not cured, am I?

No.

Where's Chloe?

Eli

Uh, something about a dress. She's gonna meet you at the house.

I guess I'm anxious to see her.

I'll say! You nearly got yourself killed the day before your wedding!

Sir, I've been called a good man, a strong man ...

An angry man!

But I ain't never been called a best man. (smiles at Scott) Until now, huh?!

Looks like it's been through a battle.

And got its ass kicked.

Are you familiar with the cosmic microwave background radiation?

Noise left over from the Big Bang.

A long time ago, the Ancients made a discovery. They found evidence of a structure buried deep within the background radiation. They believed that, at one time, this structure had genuine complexity, coherence, therefore could not have occurred naturally.

How is that even possible?

It's not - at least not according to our current understanding of physics, nor could we even see this structure with our technology.

OK, so what are we talking about? Some kind of code, a message?

A message, perhaps, or a sign of intelligence from the beginning of time.

Sent by?

Hmm. Well, that's the very question they sought to answer when they launched Destiny. That is the mission. We're talking about a mystery rooted in the foundation of reality, a puzzle with pieces scattered across the length and breadth of the universe itself.

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.
