Dr. Rodney McKay
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I am just saying, the yield calculations can be extremely tricky if not borderline impossible. You may need me.
- Vala Mal Doran: [giggles awkwardly] Colonel Carter said as much.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Ooh... we weren't gonna tell him that.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I just wanted to thank you for being there for me recently in a time of great personal need. Well, actually, you weren't there - I was alone in the dark - but, um, um, you know, it sure seemed like you were.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Are you telling me one of your fantasies?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: No, it was an hallucination. Look, I had a concussion, I was trapped in the back of a sinking jumper, and my mind conjured you up as a means of survival. It's just what you would do in my situation. It saved my life.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Okay, well, that's... sort of nice.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Hmm, yes, it was.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: [beat] Was I naked?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Partially.
- 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 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.
- 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 John Sheppard: If he speaks again, I'll shoot him.
- [Sam mouths 'Thank you']
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: But to answer your question, we are introducing another stargate into the equation. Teal'c should have it in position right now.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: If we can make a connection between that gate, and one from the Pegasus galaxy...
- Dr. Rodney McKay: You're gonna try and make a jump.
- [to John]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Don't shoot me. You know I can't help myself.
- 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?
