- Dr. Rodney McKay: If you know of some way of manually retracting the mechanism...
- Maj. John Sheppard: In the cockpit, on the left.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: The cockpit is regrettably demolecularised at the moment.
- Dr. Peter Grodin: The Stargate transmits matter into discrete units... the front half of the ship cannot rematerialize till the whole ship is crossed into the event horizon. The Stargate is essentially waiting for the continuous component, that's meaning the Jumper and everything inside to enter completely before it can transport them...
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: [Beckett stares then lookes at Weir] He says the Gate only sends things through in one piece.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll be a foot and a half over there taking some readings. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
- Dr. Kavanagh: I thought it was important to point out the risk.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Fine. You did. Now, please, worry a little bit more about their lives and less about your own ass.
- Dr. Kavanagh: What the hell was that?
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Excuse me?
- Dr. Kavanagh: I happily left the SGC because I had had it up to here with the military running things, and you just busted me like a private.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Don't be so dramatic. Besides, the Air Force doesn't have privates.
- Dr. Kavanagh: Neither do I. You just cut them off, right in front of my research team.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: If you waste one more minute which could be used to help the people trapped on that ship because of your ego, I promise you, I will dial the coordinates of a very lonely planet where you can be as self-important as you want to be.
