Quotes
-
Ronon Dex : If we don't find anything out here, this is gonna be your last known location.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, zing!
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : [talking about wraith cruiser's command console] It's not accepting commands of any kind. There must be some kind of a command code that needs to be entered.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Can you figure it out?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yes, well, the command codes used are quite simple like the number 1 or the letter A, like in Wraith, which would be ...
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Can you figure out the code or not?
Dr. Rodney McKay : No, not if I stood here and tried for a million years...
[looks at his wristwatch]
Dr. Rodney McKay : ... and we have just under a million years less than that.

Dr. Rodney McKay : You should be able to traverse the distance between here and the cruiser.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You mean *we*.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Um, yes, of course. We
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You're breathing too hard.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, forgive me for being aware of exactly how much pressure is being exerted on this suit right now.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Just think of it as a walk on the beach - a beach that's about to explode.
Dr. Rodney McKay : That's supposed to make me feel better?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No, it's supposed to make you walk faster. We're on the clock here.

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Hey, that took too long.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, well, I probably won't be able to disarm the self-destruct in time anyway, so we're really not in a rush.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Why don't we find it first, and *then* you can be negative?
Dr. Rodney McKay : The ship is remarkably preserved.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You'd think after ten thousand years, she'd want to redecorate.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I'm serious. The hull damage is minimal. They probably just lost their main drive.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You're saying this thing is salvageable?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Hmm, I'd have to assess damage to primary systems but it's not completely out of the question. Of course, you'd probably just go and blow it up or slam it into a hive ship or something, and all that work'd be for nothing.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Tick, tick, tick.
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Well, you're a hell of a swimmer, I'll give you that.
Wraith Queen : You have restored power?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : It'll fly.
Wraith Queen : [the Queen disables the self-destruct device] You shall be rewarded... with a quick death.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [Rodney appears and shoots the Queen] She's not dying according to plan here!
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [John shoots her and the Queen falls onto the ground. John meets Rodney] I thought you'd forgotten about me!
Dr. Rodney McKay : Of course not! I just had to wait for her to disable the device. Hey, just be thankful she didn't feed on you before she entered the command code.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Oh, *that's* why you didn't wanna be bait!
Dr. Rodney McKay : No-no-no-no. *You* had to be bait because she was expecting you to be the one trying to fly the ship.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [Rodney looks at the Queen, who is lying on the floor] She *is* dead, right?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Let's get outta here.
