• [Sheppard and McKay whisper while spying on a Wraith in disguise] 

  Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : That's her!

  Dr. Rodney McKay : That's the Wraith?

  Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Yeah.

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Wow... She's hot! I mean seriously hot!

  Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Rodney, you're drooling over a Wraith!

  Dr. Rodney McKay : I know, I... disgust myself sometimes.

• Dr. Rodney McKay : That is the signature of an Ancient ship called the Aurora. With the ZPM now powering the city, we've been reactivating dormant systems. That one tracked the location of Ancient ships during the war.

  Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : A warship?

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, see, look at his eyes, all lighting up again. It's Pavlovian. I crosschecked the logs. They were on a reconnaissance mission. When we activated the ZPM, the city must have sent out some kind of an automated subspace beacon, recalling ships back to Atlantis.

  Dr. Elizabeth Weir : How long before it gets here?

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, given that it's at the edge of the Pegasus galaxy... Let me see, carry the four... 42 million years. Should we go wait on the porch?

• Dr. Rodney McKay : You see, the thing is, Col. Sheppard and I have sorta gotten into this habit of saving each others' lives and it's my turn.

  [pause] 

  Dr. Rodney McKay : [to Teyla and Ronon]  It can be your turn next.

• Teyla Emmagan : Rodney, between the two of you, if something were to go wrong, which would be the greater loss?

  Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, I've never thought of it that way but... She's right. You should go.
