- Dr. Rodney McKay: [the team is trying to come up with a solution to a problem while being very short on time] You're right. If only we had a magical tool that could slow down time. I foolishly left mine on Earth - did you bring yours?
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: You know, you're not pleasant when you're like this, McKay.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm always like this.
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: My point exactly.
- Lt. Aiden Ford: How can something as big as Atlantis just sink?
- Major John Sheppard: I'm sure the passengers on the Titanic were asking themselves the same question.
- Major John Sheppard: McKay will come up with something.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I will try, but despite what you all may think, I am not Superman.
- [Sheppard looks around]
- Major John Sheppard: Was anyone seriously thinking that?
- [Weir, Teyla and the other scientist shake their heads 'No']
- Lt. Aiden Ford: No sir.
- Dr. Zelenka: Never.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Fine.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: The city can handle that?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes... Theoretically.
- Major John Sheppard: Like dinousaurs turning into birds theoretically or Theory of Relativity theoretically?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: What? Ah... Somewhere between.
