Episode Quotes

Dr. Rodney McKay: You should be able to traverse the distance between here and the cruiser.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You mean *we*.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Um, yes, of course. We
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Hey, that took too long.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Yeah, well, I probably won't be able to disarm the self-destruct in time anyway, so we're really not in a rush.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Why don't we find it first, and *then* you can be negative?
Dr. Rodney McKay: The ship is remarkably preserved.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You'd think after ten thousand years, she'd want to redecorate.
Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm serious. The hull damage is minimal. They probably just lost their main drive.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You're saying this thing is salvageable?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Hmm, I'd have to assess damage to primary systems but it's not completely out of the question. Of course, you'd probably just go and blow it up or slam it into a hive ship or something, and all that work'd be for nothing.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Tick, tick, tick.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, you're a hell of a swimmer, I'll give you that.
Wraith Queen: You have restored power?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It'll fly.
Wraith Queen: [the Queen disables the self-destruct device] You shall be rewarded... with a quick death.
Dr. Rodney McKay: [Rodney appears and shoots the Queen] She's not dying according to plan here!
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [John shoots her and the Queen falls onto the ground. John meets Rodney] I thought you'd forgotten about me!
Dr. Rodney McKay: Of course not! I just had to wait for her to disable the device. Hey, just be thankful she didn't feed on you before she entered the command code.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Oh, *that's* why you didn't wanna be bait!
Dr. Rodney McKay: No-no-no-no. *You* had to be bait because she was expecting you to be the one trying to fly the ship.
Dr. Rodney McKay: [Rodney looks at the Queen, who is lying on the floor] She *is* dead, right?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Let's get outta here.
