Major Lorne : Wow, you must really be some kind of genius.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, as a matter of fact I... eh, wait a minute, why would you say that now?
Major Lorne : Something has to have kept Colonel Sheppard from shooting you all this time.

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : It almost smells like I'm on vacation.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [putting on sunscreen lotion] Could it be the simulated tropical aroma of cocoa butter?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Strong enough for anyone within five miles to smell you.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Like they haven't been tipped off by the Aqua Velva.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : It's dark.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, well the sun will be up in 2 hours, 43 minutes and... 10 seconds.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : It's raining.
Dr. Rodney McKay : So we'll be cold and miserable. Look, the cloud cover will depreciate a small percentage of UV rays but 95 per cent of deadly is still deadly.
Major Lorne : Dr Parrish said a day or two of exposure wasn't going to kill us.
Dr. Rodney McKay : And Dr Parrish has a PhD in what? Right, botany!
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : What kind of special training do you guys have to go through to get this sort of mission?
Major Lorne : You guys?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, you know... Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. It's a great place to start.
Major Lorne : And by "this mission" you mean hunting down a skilled weapons expert hopped up on Wraith drugs in the pitch black of an alien planet?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yes.
Major Lorne : Actually, I skipped that course in Major School.
-
Major Lorne : I was hoping Lieutenant Ford might recognize a friendly face and just turn himself in.
Dr. Rodney McKay : What, you mean me?
Major Lorne : Well you were friends, weren't you?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh yeah, when we weren't out on harrowing missions we used to hang out together. I'd share my dreams of a self-sustaining fusion and he would talk of how you could sever a man's torso with a P90.

Dr. Rodney McKay : By my calculation we have been exposed to 327 millisieverts since the sun came up. May not sound like much to you, but I've been keeping a running tally of my lifetime exposure to radiation. X-rays, cellphones, plane rides, the whole unfortunate Genii nuclear reactor thing. My God, last week we flew dangerously close to the corona of a sun. As it is I may have to forgo reproducing.
Major Lorne : Yeah, it's funny. I was just thinking that might be wise.
