Quotes
-
Baden : I sent gifts of goodwill.
Nola : You sent crates of citrus fruit! Citrus! Do you have any idea what an insult that is to my people?
Baden : It didn't used to be.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : OK, see, I think I know where that comes from. Did M... the Oracle tell you that citrus fruit was bad?
Nola : He made us aware of its toxic properties, yes.
Baden : Everything is toxic to you!
[to Elizabeth]
Baden : If they're not busy insulting us, they're complaining about contaminated food, improper hygiene. Even the sunlight is dangerous to them!

Dr. Elizabeth Weir : How the hell did your face get on that flag?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Uh, I don't know. Here's the thing, though: that flag's very similar to the one I designed in our game.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : It's *exactly* like the one you designed in our game.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : What game?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : The game Rodney and I have been playing.
Dr. Rodney McKay : We didn't tell you about the game?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : We've been playing for a while now.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, off and on in our spare time, you know - at night, between missions, uh... I could have sworn we told you about it?
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : Don't worry about it. They'll work it out. Look, we just happened to catch them at a particularly bad time. Sheppard's guy's been doing a lot of aggressive posturing of late.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : The only aggression is coming from the people of Gelding.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Geldar.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Whatever.
[to Elizabeth]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : His people are digging a mine across the border into Hallona.
Dr. Rodney McKay : The coal resources straddle the border between my country and his.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Barely! They go three miles into my country - which your people are happily tunnelling into.
Dr. Rodney McKay : It has been a point of contention between us, OK, but it is just a difference in cartographic interpretation. Tomayto. Tomahto.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No, no, it's pretty clear cut. *You* entered illegally into *my* country.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Gentlemen.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [to John] You gave me no choice! You refused to negotiate!
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You mean give in.
Dr. Rodney McKay : What do you care anyway? It's not like your people were gonna use the coal!
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Oh, yeah, that's right. You need it to power your medieval steam engines.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : These are not your lands. This game is over, so you'd better set aside your differences, because if the two of you can't figure out how to forge a truce, how the hell are these people going to?
