- Dr. Rodney McKay: Their operating system is a mess. Thank goodness I remember DOS.
- [Ronan doesn't react]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Trust me, that was hilarious.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Even if they somehow deduced the location of Earth they still wouldn't be able to get there, not unless they... They downloaded something along with the hive ship plans. Aw, something like spyware - it's like my stupidly downloaded porn.
- [beat]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Music! My downloaded music! It has to be, it couldn't... I did this. I'm responsible for the destruction of my own planet.
- Ronon Dex: If anybody was gonna do it, it'd be you.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Thank you. Thank you *so* much for that!
- Ronon Dex: You're wasting your energy talking.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Okay, let's say a magic fairy comes down and grants you one wish, and we break out? Then what, huh? We're still on a hive, we're still traveling through hyperspace, probably in the massive void between our two galaxies, where there aren't even planets, let alone stargates. Then what, huh? Oh, we fly home on the wings of imagination? Is that what we do, Ronan?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Don't just stand there, cut me loose.
- Ronon Dex: Only if you put an end to all this "We're gonna die, there's no hope" talk.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, now there is hope.
- Michael Kenmore: Good luck.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Thanks. It'll be a walk in the park. A very scary park... filled with monsters who are trying to kill me.
- Michael Kenmore: I don't understand.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Never mind. Operation "This Will Most Likely End Badly" is a go.
- Ronon Dex: If we're already dead, I say we take 'em with us.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I suppose I'd rather die as a hero than as a meal.
- Major General Hank Landry: Our tests of the Mark II generator and the chair in Antarctica are promising.
- Elizabeth Weir, Ph. D.: "Promising." That doesn't sound very promising.
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: Have you tried routing the power through the inertial...
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, yes, yes, we have tried everything.
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: Subspace communications?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: We are floating between two galaxies, Radek. Atlantis has no ship to send. Even if we were somehow able to repair the array and get a message back to Earth, it would still take them weeks to get a rescue here.
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: I wasn't thinking of rescue. I was thinking simply of telling them that we've stopped the Wraith, and perhaps letting someone know the sacrifice that we've done.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, a noble sentiment but I would prefer to dedicate my last breath of air to getting more air.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I wonder which would be worse, being life-sucked by the wraith or being burned alive. I honestly couldn't consider two worse options.
- Ronon Dex: Stop talking.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Okay, you know what? Make me.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Okay, how about some of this help you were talking about?
- Michael Kenmore: I told you to target the hyperdrive.
- Maj. John Sheppard: I already knew that.
- Michael Kenmore: There's nothing I can do.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Like hell there isn't. Call off the darts.
- Michael Kenmore: They won't listen to me.
- Maj. John Sheppard: This is not helpful, Michael.
- Ronon Dex: Why should I trust you?
- Michael Kenmore: Because I'm trusting you.
- [He gives Ronan back his gun which Ronan then points at him]
- Maj. John Sheppard: Because *I* said so.
- Elizabeth Weir, Ph. D.: [Talking about the IOA] I think they're going to ask me to step down.
- Major General Hank Landry: Well, if they're just gonna ask, you can always say no.
- Maj. Lorne: It didn't work on her.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Beckett wondered if the females would be immune.
- Maj. Lorne: Yeah, something you might have mentioned before she almost killed me, Rodney.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I only thought of it now.
- Ronon Dex: Stop worrying about it. Just focus.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Focus on what? What is there to focus on? I am stuck in a cocoon.
- Ronon Dex: Getting out of here.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, right, of course. Why didn't I think of that? Of course, here goes. Um, nope. Still can't move.
- [He pauses and hears Ronan trying to escape]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm pretty sure they're struggle-proof there, big guy.
- Michael Kenmore: I don't know how you got aboard, but if your friends are in pursuit, you need to disable these ships in order for them to reach us.
- Maj. John Sheppard: If you really want to help, why don't you just do that?
- Michael Kenmore: They would know.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Aren't you "they"?
- Michael Kenmore: Please believe me when I say I was as deceived as you were.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Oh, I don't know, I was pretty deceived.
- Col. Steven Caldwell: Colonel Sheppard. We'd written you off.
- Maj. John Sheppard: Don't get all emotional on me now.
