Commander Acastus Kolya : [over the radio] Kill the Wraith on sight, but I want Sheppard alive.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Well, we learned two things. One, he likes me better than you.
[Wraith laughs]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Two, we probably never would've made it to the stargate anyway.
Male Wraith : Then it is over.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No. Our people don't leave each other behind. That's three things you've learned.
-
Male Wraith : There is no escape.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Yeah, well, prisons are like that. Never stopped me before. How long you been down here?
Male Wraith : Many years.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : How many is many? 5? 10?
Male Wraith : It no longer matters.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : That many, huh?
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : How far is the stargate?
Male Wraith : It will be guarded.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : We've got guns.
Male Wraith : They will be waiting for us.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Don't be so negative.
[Wraith grunts]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You think you're gonna make it?
Male Wraith : If I feed.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Well, don't look at me.
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You have no idea where the stargate is, do you?
Male Wraith : It was many years ago.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Way to go, John - listening to a Wraith!
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Rodney, dial the damn 'gate. Don't wait for us!
Dr. Rodney McKay : As if the bullets whizzing past my head weren't encouragement enough!
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [by himself in a prison cell] Kolya! I didn't kill you last time, remember? You promised me points for that. Kolya! Dammit. I should have killed him.
-
Soldier : Move.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Where are we movin' to?
[Soldier cocks gun]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I kind of like it heere.
[Soldier shoots the wall behind John]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Ow!
Soldier : Commander Kolya insists.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Oh, he insists? Well, why didn't you just say so?
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [to the Wraith prisoner who just fed on him] This might come as a surprise to you, but I'm not really in the mood for conversation. So why don't you do me a favor and
[shouts]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : shut the hell up!
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I thought you said this wasn't personal.
Commander Acastus Kolya : The truth is, I would've settled for Dr. McKay. But I don't imagine i would enjoy his constant wailing.
-
Commander Acastus Kolya : You'd prefer I stormed Atlantis and take Ladon by force?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [laughs] You've got... half a dozen men and a starving Wraith? Yeah, you go right ahead.
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You know, I could've sworn I was gonna wake up dead today.
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You stopped yourself.
Male Wraith : Yes.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Why?
Male Wraith : Because, the longer I feed, the weaker you become... and we will need what strength you have left to escape.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Now he wants to escape.
-
Soldier : [Over the radio] Tell Kolya there's nobody around the 'gate.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Sounds like they're concentrating their search around the 'gate. They must think we knew where we were going.
Male Wraith : [laughs ruefully] Oh, it was worth it... if only to see the sky again.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I got slightly higher expectations.
Male Wraith : My wound is deep. If I do not feed soon... I will die.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Buck up.
