Weir: Really?
McKay: I know, can you believe that?
Weir (shrugging): We could always test you a third time, Rodney.
McKay: That's very funny.

McKay: He's afraid of the thing.
Weir: This chair controls the most powerful weapons known to humankind. I'm afraid of the thing.

Weir: Dr. Beckett should be proud he's genetically advanced.
McKay: It's not more advanced. It's a random characteristic.
Weir (smiling): This really bothers you, this whole gene thing, huh?
McKay: Oh, clearly I am overcome with envy.

Daniel: Ah, just the people I needed to see.
(Daniel leaves. Weir and McKay look at each other. Daniel comes back.)
Daniel: Come with me.

Sheppard: Apache, Blackhawk, Cobra, Osprey.
O'Neill: That's a lot of training for the Antarctic.
Sheppard: It's the one continent I never set foot on.
O'Neill: It's one of my least favorite continents.
Sheppard: I kind of like it here.
O'Neill: You like it here?
Sheppard: Yes, sir.

Beckett: I think I feel something. It could be lunch related.
McKay: Shut up. And concentrate.

Sheppard: That was different.
O'Neill: For me? Not so much.

Beckett: Holy crap.

O'Neill: He likes it here.

O'Neill: In their... flying city.
Daniel: Yes.
(O'Neill smirks.)
Daniel: What?
O'Neill: Flying city.
Daniel: Keep in mind this is the race that built the Stargates. They did everything big.

McKay: We need the Zed-Pee-Em to power the 'gate.
O'Neill: Huh?
Daniel: Zee-Pee-Em. He's Canadian.
O'Neill (to McKay): I'm sorry.

O'Neill: That was a waste of a perfectly good explanation.

Beckett: The weapon the Ancients built to defend this outpost.
Sheppard: The who?
Beckett: You do have security clearance to be here?
Sheppard: Yeah, yeah, General O'Neill just gave it to me.
Beckett: Then you don't even know about the Stargate.
Sheppard: The what?

Sheppard: C'mon, what are the odds of me having the same genes as these guys-
Beckett: Quite slim, actually. Dr. Weir! Don't move.

O'Neill: I said don't touch anything.
Sheppard: I- I just sat down.

Weir: But John Sheppard? He does it naturally.

O'Neill: Disobeying a direct order in the process.
Weir: I have read your own file, General. Please.
O'Neill: Right.

O'Neill: This isn't a long trip, so I'll be as succinct as possible.
(There's a long pause.)
Sheppard: That's pretty succinct.
O'Neill: Thank you.

Sheppard: I told Dr. Weir I'd think about it.
O'Neill: And? So? Well? What?

O'Neill: Why'd you become a pilot?
Sheppard: I think people who don't want to fly are crazy.
O'Neill: And I think people who don't want to go through the Stargate are equally as whacked.

Weir: You know me well enough to know I could never turn down an opportunity like this.

Operator: The cellular customer you are trying to reach is currently outside the coverage area.
Simon: No kidding.

Beckett: Look, Colonel, I don't answer to you.
Bates: He said the same to me, sir.
Sumner: That's what your sidearm's for.

O'Neill: We there yet?

Weir: Can I have everyone's attention, please? All right, here we go. We're about to try to make a connection. We have been unable to predict exactly how much power this is going to take, and we may only get the one chance at this. So if we're able to achieve a stable wormhole, we're not going to risk shutting the 'gate down. We'll send in the MALP robot probe, check for viability, and go. Everything in one shot. Now, every one of you volunteered for this mission. And you represent over a dozen countries. You are the world's best and brightest. And in light of the adventure we are about to embark on, you're also the bravest. I hope we all return one day having discovered a whole new realm of humanity to explore, but as all of you know, we may never be able to return home. I'd like to offer you all one last chance to withdraw your participation. (No one moves.) Begin the dialing sequence.

Sumner: Let me make myself clear, Major. You are not here by my choice.
Sheppard: I'm sure you'll warm up to me once you get to know me, sir.
Sumner: So long as you remember who's giving the orders.
Sheppard: That would be Dr. Weir, right?

Weir: This is it. Seriously, Doctor, calm down. You're embarrassing me.
McKay: I've never been so excited in my entire life.

McKay: Looks like we're not getting out of this.

O'Neill: Dr. Weir, you have a go.
Weir: Thank you... sir.

Daniel: Jack, it's not too late for me to-
O'Neill: No.
Daniel: I, I could still grab my-
O'Neill: No.

Sheppard: What's it feel like?
Ford (seriously): It hurts like hell, sir.
(Sheppard looks worried.)
(Ford starts to grin, then jumps through the 'gate backwards.)
Ford: Woo hoo!

McKay: This is obviously their version of a DHD.
Sheppard: Oh, obviously.

Sheppard: We're underwater!
McKay: Yes, I was just, uh, coming to tell you. Fortunately, there's some sort of a forcefield holding back... the water. Oh, that is impressive, isn't it?

McKay: Huh. So the story of Atlantis is true. A great city that sank in the ocean.
Beckett: It just didn't happen on Earth.
McKay: Well, the ancient Greeks must've heard it from one of the surviving Ancients.
Sumner: I don't like the fact that they got their asses kicked.

Beckett: Please tell me this is not my fault.
McKay: No.
Beckett: Thank you!

McKay: Using power, using power, using power...

McKay: Chevron One encoded.
Weir: Rodney.
McKay: Fine.

Halling: Halling.
Sheppard: I don't know what that means.
Sumner: It's his name.

Wex: Wraith.
Sheppard: Wraith. What's that?
Jinto: You don't know?
Wex: What world do you come from?
Jinto: Can we go there?
Sheppard: 'Fraid not. I come from a galaxy far, far away.

Sheppard: Well, then, we'll, uh, have to get to know each other. Me, um... I like ferris wheels, and college football, anything that goes over 200 miles per hour.
Ford: Sir, that's not going to mean anything to them.
Sheppard: Feel free to speak up, I'm just trying to break the ice.

Sumner: Location, location, location.

Sumner: Who are these Wraith?
Teyla: We have never met anyone who did not know.
Sumner: You have now.
Teyla: If the Wraith have never touched your world, you should go back there.
