Stargate Universe Season 1 quotes

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?

Rush. Where the hell are we?

Several billion light years from home.

Politicians ask military personnel to sacrifice themselves for the good of others all the time. If someone doesn't go in there and close that door, we're all gonna die. Period.

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!

(to Scott) Light-years away from the admiring eyes of your father, or your drill sergeant, or whoever's approval it is you so desperately seek.

You think just because you were born poor, that gives you the right to be angry at the world! How pathetic!

Ooh, yeah, yeah. You think that's why I'm angry?

If it wasn't for the army, you'd be in jail, or worse.

Oh, that's what all you rich people think.

Rich?! My father worked in the shipyards in Glasgow! I earned a scholarship to Oxford while I was working two jobs! I have earned the right to make decisions without explaining myself to you or anyone else!

Eli

Why'd you do that?

He told me to.

I saved his life.

Eli

By shooting him?!

I don't think you seem to understand what's going on here, Colonel! Our "reserves" are gone! All of our power is gone!

I refuse to be held responsible for this situation!

Nobody's blaming you.

I ran out of time!

We can fix this!

What, just because you give the order, you think it's possible? THERE IS NO MORE POWER!

Chloe

I don't even know what to do with myself. I'm the last person who should be here.

I can't think of a better way to move on from - from this world into the next, or whatever comes, than to fly into the most powerful thing in all creation ... a star. Out in a blaze of glory. I like that. That's beautiful.

And while I don't condone behavior of that kind in any way, shape or form, I've gotta say, the look on Telford's face when you put him down was priceless. Complete and total shock.

Chloe

My father gave his life so all of us can survive another day. And we did. Another day.

The ship is powered by the stars themselves. Solar powered - quite literally. There is no other explanation.
