Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well, it's like my grandma used to say, if at first you don't succeed...
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Try a larger thermonuclear reaction?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Her words exactly.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Teal'c, I have a collect call from the Pegasus Galaxy. Will you accept the charges?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Is that thing cool or what?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Hmm.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: The black hole.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: What you're looking at is called the accretion disk. It's matter trapped in the gravity well. You can't actually *see* the black hole itself.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Which is cool.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: [SG-1 is admiring Atlantis from the air] Let's all just take a moment.
- [They watch for a few seconds]
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Okay, moment's over. Let's go save the galaxy.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Listen, if McKay gives you a hard time, just...
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Shoot him.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Also, he's mortally allergic to citrus.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Really?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [pulls out a lemon] I keep one with me at all times. It's just a comfort to know... it's there.
- [tosses it to Cameron]
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: That's good intel, thanks.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yeah.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: [laughs] That's a - that's a - that's a good one. We're actually, uh, we're-we're quite close.
- Vala Mal Doran: Funny, he doesn't look excited.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Trust me. Like a kid who was up all night on Christmas Eve.
- Vala Mal Doran: I thought we imposed a moratorium on cultural references I wouldn't understand.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: You know, Sam, this is not the Rodney McKay I heard stories about.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: I know.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: What stories? What have you heard?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well, for starters, that you didn't know the meaning of the word 'impossible'.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, I certainly know the meaning...
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: And that under threat of impending death, you could work miracles.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I suppose Sheppard told you that?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Yes, he did.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, well it's all true. But I'm not under the threat of impending death, and I don't have a ...
- [Cameron threatens him with a lemon]
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Not yet. Keep it up.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well... I'll see what I can come up with then.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Where's McKay?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm here. One of your crew wouldn't let me finish my sandwich in the corridor.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Oh, the nerve of that crewman, huh?
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: What's wrong?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Ah, nothing, I guess I just wish my first trip to Atlantis wasn't under such desperate circumstances.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Ah, it's just another mission, Jackson.
- Vala Mal Doran: One upon which the fate of the entire galaxy hangs in the balance.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: And he goes on those all the time.
