Ronon Dex Quotes

05x06 - The Shrine Season 5 / Episode 6: - The Shrine

Ronon Dex: [trying to convince Woolsey to let them go to the Shrine] I'm telling you that in a matter of minutes I saw my grandfather go from someone who didn't know his own name to the man that taught me to dragon hunt.
Richard Woolsey: You learned to hunt when you were six years old?
Ronon Dex: For one day he got to hold his wife in his arms and share a meal with the people that he loved. And then he died with honor. You can say I was too young to remember, but I know what I saw. And we can do the same thing for McKay.
04x04 - Doppelganger Season 4 / Episode 4: - Doppelganger

Dr. Jennifer Keller: Have you had any nightmares lately?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Not a night goes by. Last night I dreamt that Colonel Carter invited me to her quarters for dinner.
Teyla Emmagan: Maybe you shouldn't be telling us this, Rodney.
Dr. Jennifer Keller: Yeah, I said nightmare, not delusional male fantasy.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Wait and listen. Turns out she was serving lemon chicken. I mean, lemon, and the only reason she invited me to dinner was to tell me she was promoting Zelenka over me.
Ronon Dex: That's it?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Then I was eaten by a whale. Don't ask how that happened.
04x03 - Reunion Season 4 / Episode 3: - Reunion

Ronon Dex: I hear you're in charge.
Colonel Samantha Carter: [somewhat confused, glances from McKay to Ronan]
Dr. Rodney McKay: Ah... Ronan, this is Colonel Carter. Sam, this is Ronan, he's...
Colonel Samantha Carter: Satedan. [walking around desk to be closer to them] And... a member of your team, of course. What can I do for you?
Ronon Dex: Uh, I wanna bring some friends to Atlantis and apparently I've gotta clear it through you first.
Colonel Samantha Carter: Unfortunately, some new security procedures prevent me from allowing any off-world visits to Atlantis for the time being.
Ronon Dex: Under whose authority?
Colonel Samantha Carter: [beginning to feel challenged] It was a directive from the IOA.
Ronon Dex: Well they don't need to know.
Dr. Rodney McKay: [somewhat in scolding way, attempting to intervene on Carter's behalf] Ronan, she's uh...
Colonel Samantha Carter: [holds up hand to stop McKay] I'm sure you understand what a precarious position we're in here. It is imperative that the location of this base remains a secret.
Ronon Dex: And it will. They're my people, I'll vouch for them.
Colonel Samantha Carter: [with a sigh] I'm sure you can. But for now, we're on a new planet with a new set of rules.
Ronon Dex: And a new person in charge. [takes a few steps toward Carter, so he is just close enough to intimidate] Weir never would have doubted me.
Colonel Samantha Carter: [small laugh and a sigh] Okay, first of all, Ronan, I'm not doubting you. These new regulations apply to everyone on this base. And secondly, [pause] I'm not Dr. Weir. [Ronan walks away, leaving Carter a little stunned; she turns to McKay] Wow. Is he always like that?
Dr. Rodney McKay: No. No, [nodding with a sigh] uh, actually, you... you caught him on a good day.
04x03 - Reunion Season 4 / Episode 3: - Reunion

Ronon Dex: [after Sheppard sits down at his table and begins to eat] Teyla's already spoken to you, hasn't she.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yeah, well, we had a little chat.
Ronon Dex: Hm. So let's hear it.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Hear what?
Ronon Dex: Whatever you've got to say.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Not gonna say anything.
Ronon Dex: Really.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't have to because you already know what I'm gonna tell ya. You're a valuable member of my team and that it would be difficult to find somebody to take your place.
Ronon Dex: Mm hm.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: And that you may think you're going back to find something you've lost, but there's nothing to go back to. Sateda's gone, and running around with your buddies isn't gonna bring that back.

Ronon Dex: [straight face] You're not gonna say any of that.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [shakes head, mouth full] Oh, I don't have to.
Ronon Dex: Look, this isn't about me trying to bring back the past.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [getting increasingly angrier as the conversation progresses] Well then what is it?
Ronon Dex: They need me. They always have. I'm the one that took care of them, got them home alive whenever we went into battle.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [staring at Ronan] You're one man, Ronan. You can't expect to protect them forever.
Ronon Dex: Probably not. But that's where you guys come in.

Ronon Dex: We got some intel on a Wraith target.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [pauses, shifting position] The Wraith and the Replicators are kinda beatin' the crap out of each other right now; I think it's counterproductive to run an op against them.
Ronon Dex: I have a feeling you'll change your mind once you hear the details.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [small nod, picks up coffee] Let's hear it.
Ronon Dex: Not yet. I want Tyre, Ara, and Rackai in on this.
03x20 - First Strike (1) Season 3 / Episode 20: - First Strike (1)

Ronon Dex: I need to learn some science.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: What for?
Ronon Dex: I'm not all that useful in situations like these. If we get into a fight, or we need to break out of somewhere, you know, kill someone, I'm your man, but a laser attacking the city's shield - I don't know where to chip in.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, that's why we're a team, like the Fantastic Four. [Ronon and Teyla stare at him] It's a comic book where superheroes fight crime and stuff. See, I'd be Mr Fantastic, Ronon would be The Thing, McKay would be the Human Torch... [John looks at Teyla] You'd be the Invisible Woman.
Teyla Emmagan: I am not invisible.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No. No, and McKay's not a human torch.
Teyla Emmagan: Well, how come *you* get to be Mr Fantastic?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Because he was the leader and I'm the... [pause] I'm just saying that *they* were a cool team and *we're* a cool team and they use their strengths to, you know... [another pause] I'm gonna go check on McKay.
03x19 - Vengeance Season 3 / Episode 19: - Vengeance

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [after an explosion] Everyone OK?
Teyla Emmagan: Yes.
Ronon Dex: I'm good.
Dr. Rodney McKay: I think you singed my eyebrows! D'you think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?
03x18 - Submersion Season 3 / Episode 18: - Submersion

Ronon Dex: If we don't find anything out here, this is gonna be your last known location.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, zing!
03x17 - Sunday Season 3 / Episode 17: - Sunday

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Are you datin' anyone?
Ronon Dex: You mean like a woman?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Or a man.
03x15 - The Game Season 3 / Episode 15: - The Game

Dr. Rodney McKay: Let me ask you a question. Say there's a runaway train. It's hurtling out of control towards ten people standing in the middle of the tracks. The only way to save those people is to flip a switch - send the train down another set of tracks. The only problem is there is a baby in the middle of those tracks.
Teyla Emmagan: Why would anyone leave a baby in harm's way like that?
Dr. Rodney McKay: I don't know. That's not the point. Look, it's an ethical dilemma. Look, Katie Brown brought it up over dinner the other night. The question is: is it appropriate to divert the train and kill the one baby to save the ten people?
Ronon Dex: Wouldn't the people just see the train coming and move?
Dr. Rodney McKay: No. No, they wouldn't see it.
Ronon Dex: Why not?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well... Look, I dunno. Say they're blind.
Teyla Emmagan: *All* of them?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, all of them.
Ronon Dex: Then why don't you just call out and tell them to move out of the way?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, because they can't hear you.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: What, they're deaf too? [Rodney throws him a look] How fast is the train going?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Look, the speed doesn't matter!
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, sure it does. If it's goin' slow enough, you could outrun it and shove everyone to the side.
Ronon Dex: Or better yet, go get the baby.
Dr. Rodney McKay: For God's sake! I was just trying to...
03x15 - The Game Season 3 / Episode 15: - The Game

Dr. Rodney McKay: Hey, don't start. I tried to negotiate with you.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Making a list of demands and not giving anything in return is not negotiating.
Dr. Rodney McKay: I offered you an entire crop of beans.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I don't need beans. I need lumber.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, right - to build defensive fortifications for your army, which he doubled in size, by the way. Surprise, surprise.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I only did that after you started cheating.
Dr. Rodney McKay: I did *not* cheat.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: He's giving his people *way* too much technology for their level of development. I'm not the only one increasing my army, by the way.
Dr. Rodney McKay: I had to do something to protect the people of Geldar from you.
Ronon Dex: Geldar?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: The name of Rodney's country. He named it after a girl he stalked in college.
Dr. Rodney McKay: I did *not* stalk her. We dated twice. Teresa Geldar - a very cute blonde. I always used to think her name reminded me of some kind of a mythological land: the Kingdom of Geldar.
Teyla Emmagan: [to Sheppard] What did you call *your* country?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, I just kept the name it already had.
03x14 - Tao of Rodney Season 3 / Episode 14: - Tao of Rodney

Dr. Rodney McKay: You know, we could be a team. You could be my sidekick.
Ronon Dex: "Sidekick".
Dr. Rodney McKay: Yeah, it'd be like Batman and Ronon. Has a nice ring to it.
Ronon Dex: Yeah, you keep eating like that, it's more like Fatman.
03x14 - Tao of Rodney Season 3 / Episode 14: - Tao of Rodney

Ronon Dex: I try not to let things I can't change bother me.
03x13 - Irresponsible Season 3 / Episode 13: - Irresponsible

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: My childhood hero was Evel Knievel.
Teyla Emmagan: Was he not evil?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No, it was just his name. He was a daredevil - which isn't kind of a devil. He just jumped motorcycles over things.
Ronon Dex: Why?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Just because. Didn't always make it either.
Teyla Emmagan: And you greatly admired this behaviour?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No, I just - look at least my hero is human. McKay's is Batman.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Hmm. Misunderstood and unappreciated by many, because his most formidable weapon was the power of his brilliant mind. Not just a hero - a superhero.
03x12 - Echoes Season 3 / Episode 12: - Echoes

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You're the one who volunteered to go.
Ronon Dex: If I do something like that again, shoot me.
Dr. Radek Zelenka: He was like this all night. You know, very agitated. Had me scared.
03x12 - Echoes Season 3 / Episode 12: - Echoes

Ronon Dex: You ask me, it's too much meditation.
03x12 - Echoes Season 3 / Episode 12: - Echoes

Teyla Emmagan: If you fall asleep on more time...
Ronon Dex: [gets a training stick] Hit me with that.
03x10 - The Return (1) Season 3 / Episode 10: - The Return (1)

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: This sucks.
Ronon Dex: Yeah.
03x10 - The Return (1) Season 3 / Episode 10: - The Return (1)

Dr. Rodney McKay: They emit a directional beacon that disrupts the replicators and breaks them apart.
Ronon Dex: Not what I asked.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, they work good.
03x09 - Phantoms Season 3 / Episode 9: - Phantoms

Teyla Emmagan: [Ronon draws his gun] What is it?
Ronon Dex: I saw something.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, what? Person? Animal? How many syllables?
03x09 - Phantoms Season 3 / Episode 9: - Phantoms

Ronon Dex: It's probably nothing.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Why am I not comforted?
03x09 - Phantoms Season 3 / Episode 9: - Phantoms

Ronon Dex: A Wraith bunker, but no Wraith.
Teyla Emmagan: It appears to have been abandoned for some time.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: The Genii probably stumbled on to it just like we did.
Dr. Carson Beckett: And then promptly killed each other. Why?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Another Hardy Boys mystery.
03x09 - Phantoms Season 3 / Episode 9: - Phantoms

Dr. Rodney McKay: [third time] You shot me.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [exasperated] Yes, Rodney, I shot you, and I said I was sorry.
Ronon Dex: You shot me, too.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'm sorry for shooting everyone!
03x09 - Phantoms Season 3 / Episode 9: - Phantoms

Dr. Rodney McKay: Why am I not comforted?
03x08 - McKay and Mrs. Miller Season 3 / Episode 8: - McKay and Mrs. Miller

Dr. Rodney McKay: [to Jeannie] What have you told them?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We weren't talking about you.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, you weren't?
Teyla Emmagan: No. We were discussing many things.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Now, when the issue of bedwetting happended to come up, she may have mentioned something about your childhood.
Dr. Rodney McKay: That is not true.
Ronon Dex: Relax. We all have embarrassing childhood stories.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Of course we do.
Ronon Dex: There was one time the school bullies made me eat lunch with my underwear on my head.
Dr. Rodney McKay: [slightly hopeful] Oh...
Ronon Dex: Oh, wait, that was you.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, hardy har-har.
03x08 - McKay and Mrs. Miller Season 3 / Episode 8: - McKay and Mrs. Miller

Dr. Rodney McKay: [comes into the mess to find everyone for the third time] Am I just not getting the team e-mails anymore?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Take it easy. We're just talking about Rod.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, well, of course you are.
Teyla Emmagan: Do you think he made it back to his universe?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, it's hard to say, really, but I doubt he'll be back, though.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That's good, uh, we found him a little creepy.
Dr. Rodney McKay: What?
Ronon Dex: I can't stand people who are nice all the time. It makes me feel like they're trying to hide something.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Really?
Teyla Emmagan: He kept trying to correct *me* on my Athosian history. It grew tiresome very quickly.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, he wasn't that bad.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Let's be honest. Rod was annoying.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, I'll be honest with you. That's kind of nice to hear. Now... [pulls up a chair as the rest of the team smiles] What else has been happening?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, Teyla's got the hots for one of the new Marines. [Teyla kicks him in the leg] Ow!
Teyla Emmagan: That is *not* true.
Ronon Dex: You know it is.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Hardly new, either. [everyone smiles and laughs as the show fades out]
03x07 - Common Ground Season 3 / Episode 7: - Common Ground

Ladon Radim: Kolya believes I have taken his rightful place as leader of our people.
Ronon Dex: No wonder he's pissed.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Well, obviously, he has men loyal to him in your inner circle, hence the codes.
Ladon Radim: Those traitors will be found.
Ronon Dex: Sounds like you're the traitor to me.
Ladon Radim: Must he be here?
03x07 - Common Ground Season 3 / Episode 7: - Common Ground

Ronon Dex: So what? I say we turn him over and let 'em fight it out.
Dr. Rodney McKay: We can't do that.
Ronon Dex: Oh, why not?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Because... well... [to Elizabeth] can we?
03x07 - Common Ground Season 3 / Episode 7: - Common Ground

Dr. Rodney McKay: All right, people, let's do this one by the numbers. We get in, we get our man, we get out. Stay sharp and stay alive.
Dr. Carson Beckett: What are you on about?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, just things Sheppard would say, so I thought I would...
Teyla Emmagan: Well said, Rodney.
Ronon Dex: Just stay behind me.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Right.
03x07 - Common Ground Season 3 / Episode 7: - Common Ground

Dr. Rodney McKay: I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I just - you know, I reacted.
Teyla Emmagan: What is it?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Um... a mouse. A really big one, though. More of a rat, really. Possibly rabid.
Dr. Carson Beckett: This isn't the place, is it?
Teyla Emmagan: I do not believe so.
Ronon Dex: No. Sheppard wasn't here.
Dr. Rodney McKay: And we've just wasted two and a half hours.
