Stargate Universe quotes

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.

OK, good to go.

Sorry. Now, I'm sure we're all familiar with the old adage "It's all in the Algorithm." So ...

Doctor. I'm gonna stop you there.

All I said was, "So."

He didn't even look at my work.

Because he wouldn't have understood it in the first place.

You saw my presentation. A cat could understand it!

We're not gonna be able to keep up this charade forever. How long is this gonna take?

I gave you my best guess in the briefing.

You also said you'd re-assess once we got here.

Well, the facility's already drawing power from the naqahdria core, which speeds things up considerably. On the other hand, this is more or less 1940s technology, which can slow things down. (gestures towards the Stargate) Then again, there's the "they don't build things like they used to" factor.

One hour or two, McKay, which is it?

If we end this conversation right now, I can still manage the former.

(annoyed) Sheppard's right. (walks away)

About what?

Better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission. That's what my dad used to always say.

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!

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.

Rush, come check this out. Two thousand years on the other side of the universe... (tosses the pack to Rush) and beef jerky survives!

Eli

Me and Corporal Barnes?

Chloe

(stifling laughter) Something worth pursuing?

This room needs more chairs.

Here. (Stands up from captain's chair) Please. Go ahead.

No. No,no. That's your...

What am I? Captain Kirk?

Eli

(to Rush) You don't really think that was a concidence?

Call it wishful thinking if you like.

Eli

Because if you realize that if it's not a concidence...

Then we have a very big problem.

Eli

No. No,no. We're totally screwed.

Well, fortunately Eli has an idea. It's absolute insanity and it's the only choice we've got.

Eli

Don't undersell it.
