Sheppard: How you feelin'?
McKay (not clearly): I can't feel anything- I can't talk.
Sheppard: You can't talk either.
McKay (not clearly): That's what I said.

McKay (not clearly, panicked): I'm paralyzed?
Beckett: The paralysis is only temporary. Don't worry, Rodney, you'll be up and about in no time. Bloody good thing that Wraith weapon's only designed to incapacitate... or he'd be dead.
McKay (not clearly): What?

Sheppard: At least your mouth still works fine.

Sheppard: We're talking about Teyla.
Weir: I don't like it either, Major.
Sheppard: Good, then get her on in here.
Weir: But the safety of this base and its personnel are my main concern right now. As it should be yours.

Teyla: Are you certain?
Sheppard: Not certain certain, but pretty... certain.

Sheppard: Dr. Weir wants to meet 'em, that's all. It's not personal. I mean, it is, in the sense that she wants to meet them all personally.

Teyla: I know each and every one of them. I would stake my life on their innocence.
Sheppard: Okay. Perhaps you've noticed, but every time we step through the Stargate, bad guys try to kill us. And I'm getting a little tired of it. How about you?

Halling: I came here expecting an interview. Not an interrogation.

Zelenka: I mean, I don't think it's too much to ask.
McKay: What is it?
Zelenka: Nothing, nothing. I just can't bear the same meal day after day after day...
McKay: Well, buck up a little. I'm trying to run a diagnostic.
Zelenka: Sorry.
McKay: I mean, we are stranded with limited resources in another galaxy. Come on, the nearest Bob's Big Boy is three hundred million light years away. We have to make do. If that means you have to eat my favorite food two days in a row, so be it.
Zelenka: You enjoy military rations?
McKay: I know, it's weird. Hospital food, too. Only reason I don't like airplane food is you can't get seconds, and I'm an absolute-

McKay: It's a command subroutine I've never seen before.
Zelenka: What is its function?
McKay: I don't know because I've never seen it before.

Halling: You trust Dr. Weir that much?
Teyla: I do.
Halling: More than you would trust your own people-
Teyla: No! I understand her responsibility.

Teyla: Atlantis is far more than shelter, it is hope. Not only for our people but for everyone who would stand against the Wraith. We must not abandon that hope.

Halling: They may reside here, Teyla, but they are not the ancestors. No matter how much you wish them to be.

Ford: Anyone else call shotgun?
Sheppard: Just gonna drive around the planet, check it out.
Ford: Oh, you're just checking out the planet? Aw, nevermind then, that's cool. I mean, I've got better things to do than cruise around the planet in a spaceship.
Sheppard: You're like a kid, you know that?
Ford: Yes, sir. I've brought along something to eat on the ride.
Sheppard: What's that?
Ford: How about a nice... turkey sandwich?
Sheppard: Let's go.

Ford: Strange we're not pulling any Gs.
Sheppard: Yeah... I kind of miss it. Although at this rate of acceleration, we'd be dead by now.
Ford: Yeah?
Sheppard: Oh, yeah. Without inertial dampening, we'd be hit by so many Gs, our eyes would pop. The skin would pull away from our faces, our brains would squish up to the back of our skulls, and our internal organs would be crushed into these chairs. What about that sandwich?

Ford: You know, we still haven't named the planet yet.
Sheppard: I'm sure the Ancients have a name for it.
Ford: How about Atlantica; something like that?
Sheppard: I thought we agreed you weren't going to name anything anymore.

Ford: I wonder how big it is.
Sheppard: Big.
Ford (grinning): Really big.

Ford: It's huge.
McKay: Define "huge."
Sheppard: 15 million square miles. Well, give or take.
McKay: That would make it approximately the size of... I have no idea, but it sounds huge.

Sheppard: I saw some sweet breakers on the south tip. There may be surfing in our future.

Bates: A second ago, we were going surfing.
Sheppard: Well, that was after we checked for monsters and... bugs, and other space-related things.
Bates: I can't imagine it'd be any worse than their original homeworld.
McKay: That could just be failure of imagination on your part.

Teyla: I have never been separated from my people before.
Weir: It must be hard. But you know you'll see them again.
Teyla: Do you doubt that you will one day return to Earth?
Weir: I can't afford to have doubts.
Teyla: You mean you cannot afford to let them show.
Weir: You're still a leader, Teyla. You're doing this for your people and for their future. They know that.

Sheppard: Would you like us to bring back anything special?
Weir: No, thanks.
Sheppard: Groceries, new outfit, flatware?
Weir: Hmm. No. Just yourselves in one piece, please.

Corrigan: I can't even begin to tell you how fascinating this is.
Sheppard: Anthropologist fascinating, or actual fascinating?
Corrigan: Yeah, well, maybe "fascinating" isn't the right word.
Sheppard: Maybe not.

Teyla: It would be better if I went alone.
Sheppard: You will be alone... with Lt. Ford.

Sheppard: What?
Weir: I'm the one who put him in charge of security.
Sheppard: Yes, you did. And if you want to dismiss me, go ahead.
Weir: Why don't you go and see how Lt. Ford is doing?

McKay: You want me to go through her stuff?
Bates: We're looking for weapons, transmitters, recording devices, anything that looks like it's beyond the Athosians' level of technology.
McKay: And if I don't find anything, we move on to a strip search?

McKay: Oh, Ford, how you feeling? Pins and needles all over?
Sheppard: Oh, yeah, welcome to the club.
Ford: No, sir. I managed to dive out of the way of the stunner blast. I must've hit my head on the way down.
Sheppard: You hit your head?
McKay: Major, I need you to see something.
(Sheppard and McKay leave.)
Ford: Uh, I'll be fine.

McKay: Didn't I just say it was dormant?
Bates: But if it's activated by touch-
McKay: You're not listening. I said Major Sheppard activated it.

McKay: How could I possibly know that? What am I, Answer Man?

Sheppard: You seem nervous.
McKay: No, I'm a part of this team, I'm doing this.
Sheppard: Yes, you are. I just said you seem nervous.
McKay: Oh, really, I thought you said, "Rodney, you don't have to do this."
Sheppard: Yes, you do.
McKay: Damn right I'm doing this. Despite the fact that feeling hasn't completely returned to my extremities.

Sheppard: You still seem nervous.
McKay: No, no, it's good, it's good. I'm all good, all good.

Sheppard: The Ancients were pretty good at shields and stuff like that, weren't they?

Sheppard: I wonder what hurts more- the gunshot wound or the hunger. Because I'd love to help out, but how did McKay put it? "We can't meet your dietary requirements."

Wraith: When I am free, you'll be the first that I feed upon.
Sheppard: Okie dokie. I'm gonna go make myself a sandwich.

Sheppard: Stay positive now.
