Lt. Colonel John Sheppard
- 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.
- 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.
- 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: 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 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.
