Quotes
-
Dr. Carson Beckett : He fainted.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, there's gotta be a better word!
Major John Sheppard : Faint is the proper medical term.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I passed out from... manly hunger.
Major John Sheppard : Well, hang in there.
[He turns his radio on]
Major John Sheppard : Doctor Weir, this is Sheppard. Uh, McKay's OK. He, uh, he fainted.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, yes, very sympathetic! Let's all mock the dying man! Thank you!
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : [to the mouse] Got your eye on anyone?
Dr. Carson Beckett : Umm, not really.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Actually I was talking to the mouse. But now that you mention it, some of those Athosian women are pretty hot, and we DID just save them from the Wraith, so we gotta trade on that while we can. You know, before they discover that we're not actually that cool.

Dr. Carson Beckett : We believe A.T.A., or Ancient Technology Activation, is caused by a single gene that's always on, instructing various cells in the body to produce a series of proteins and enzymes that interact with the skin, the nervous system, and the brain. In this case, we're using a mouse retrovirus to deliver the missing gene to your cells.
Dr. Rodney McKay : A mouse retrovirus?
Dr. Carson Beckett : It's been deactivated.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Are there any side effects?
Dr. Carson Beckett : Dry mouth, headache, the irresistible urge to run on a small wheel.

Dr. Peter Grodin : I'm thinking, Mr. Invincible!
Dr. Carson Beckett : Captain Untouchable!
Dr. Peter Grodin : [both laugh] Ooh, that's good!
Dr. Rodney McKay : You guys done?
Dr. Carson Beckett : I've been working on this gene therapy for months, forgive me for wanting to celebrate the fact that it worked on the first human trial!
Dr. Rodney McKay : [sarcastic] Oooh, Let's all have a toast!
-
Dr. Carson Beckett : This may be more serious than I suspected.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Why, thank you! I'm hungry already. What am I going to do? If I don't get this stupid thing off, I'll be dead by the end of the day.
Dr. Carson Beckett : Relax. You can live three or four days without water.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, I'm talking about food!
Dr. Carson Beckett : Well, you found some Ancient text with the device. What did it say about taking it off?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, yeah, there were some explicit instructions which I chose to completely ignore!
Dr. Peter Grodin : Well, some Ancient technology uses a mental component for operation.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Just shut up. I'm thinking.
Dr. Peter Grodin : Is there any chance that the gene therapy isn't permanent?
Dr. Carson Beckett : It's possible.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I'm a dead man.
