Quotes17

  • Ronon Dex: Which one of you killed the Wraith?
  • Dr. Carson Beckett: [smiles proudly] That would be me.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: My idea.
  • Teyla Emmagan: Ronon...
  • Dr. Carson Beckett: What?
  • [worried]
  • Dr. Carson Beckett: Don't tell me you're not happy that he's dead.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I had him in my sights, but Ronon said he'd kill me if I shot him.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: It was all Beckett's idea.
  • Ronon Dex: [hugs Carson] Thanks, doc.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: What, him you thank?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I could've killed him at any time, but Teyla wouldn't let me.
  • Ronon Dex: Thank you. All of you.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, don't mention it.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It's nothing, really. I only killed eleven, twelve Wraith.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: McKay?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Over here.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You know, we take for granted all of the simple things in life... like sitting.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't envy you. Must be a pain in the ass.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Hah. How long have you been thinking of that one?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Longer than I'd like to admit.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Something wrong?
  • Ronon Dex: I have a bad feeling.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: I always feel like that. Like something horrible is about to happen.
  • Teyla Emmagan: How do you live?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: I get used to it. Thing is, when someone else also has that feeling, mine gets worse.
  • Colonel Steven Caldwell: I won't bail you out if you get in trouble.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You say that as if we're always getting in trouble.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Look, Teyla... I'm not really good at, uh... actually, I'm... I'm terrible at expressing... I don't know what you'd call it, uh...
  • Teyla Emmagan: Feelings?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yeah, sure, okay. The point is, I don't really have good, uh...
  • Teyla Emmagan: Social skills?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, that is why I enjoyed flying choppers in the most remote part of my world before all this craziness happened, but, uh, you should know, I don't have, uh...
  • Teyla Emmagan: Friends?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No. I have friends.
  • [pauses]
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You, Elizabeth, Ronon, Carson, even Rodney, are the closest thing I have to a...
  • Teyla Emmagan: A family?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'd do anything... for any one of you. If I had to give up my life the way Ronon was going to, I would.
  • [gets up from the table and starts to leave]
  • Teyla Emmagan: Thank you. For everything you... meant to say.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: What is going on down there? You have at least twenty-five Wraith closing in on your position from ground level.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It seems Ronon doesn't want to leave.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, too bad! You tell that ungrateful example of unevolved humanity that we came all this way to rescue him, so he'd better get off his...
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: McKay says he's very hurt you won't come with us.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: That is the stupidest plan I have ever heard.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't know, killing a bunch of Wraith always seems like a good idea to me.
  • Dr. Carson Beckett: There's more than one gun, we can both bloody go.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Yeah, well someone has to stay with the jumper...
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [over the radio] That's it. We got 'em all. McKay?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: [checks the HUD] Yeah, it's just you guys left. Well, that was quick.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, I got six. Teyla got...
  • Teyla Emmagan: Eight.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I got nine, Teyla got eight, Ronon got the rest.
  • Ronon Dex: You kill him before I do, I kill you.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: What if he kills you first?
  • Ronon Dex: Then you kill him.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: What the hell is going on down there?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Ronon thinks he can get the head Wraith responsible for all this to come down and fight him if we kill all these Wraith first.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: That is the stupidest plan I have ever heard.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't know. Killing a bunch of Wraith always seems like a good idea to me.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: They outnumber you 25 to 3.
  • Dr. Carson Beckett: It's actually 22 to 3... 21...
  • Teyla Emmagan: And Ronon appears to be quite angry.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, that evens it out.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You, Elizabeth, Ronon, Carson and even Rodney are the closest thing I have to...
  • Teyla Emmagan: A Family.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'd do anything for you guys.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, my God, it hurts! I can't feel me leg!
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Pain or numbness?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Both!
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Look... I can't say the Wraith won't be back here again, but I can promise you they're not coming back here because of him.
  • Keturah: No. Not once we've sacrificed the Wraithbringer to his masters.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: He prefers 'Ronon.' Probably also prefers not to be sacrificed to the Wraith.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: McKay?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: [from the floor] I'm here. You know... you really don't appreciate the simple things in life. Like... sitting.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't envy you. It must be a real pain in the ass.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Aw... how long did you work on that?
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Longer than I care to admit.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: But these sensors only cover a small corner of the galaxy.
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Unless they're calibrated to pick up a signal using subspace. How about I leave the bad jokes to you, and you leave the brilliant science stuff to me?
  • Ronon Dex: I'm gonna kill the Wraith responsible for all this.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't suppose he happens to be one of the ones out there that's about to come in here?
  • Ronon Dex: No.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: So there are seven runners?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: We can't be certain. But I bet that's Ronon.
  • Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: How do you know?
  • Dr. Rodney McKay: Because that's Sateda, Ronon's home planet.
