Quotes
-
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]
Colonel Samantha Carter : 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]
Ronon Dex : 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]
Colonel Samantha Carter : I'm not Dr. Weir.
[Ronan walks away, leaving Carter a little stunned; she turns to McKay]
Colonel Samantha Carter : Wow. Is he always like that?
Dr. Rodney McKay : No. No,
[nodding with a sigh]
Dr. Rodney McKay : uh, actually, you... you caught him on a good day.

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.
[with a satisfied look, takes a bite of food]
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.
[pause, Sheppard looks interested]
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.
[Sheppard sighs]

Colonel Samantha Carter : [Ronon has just discovered his former fellow Satedans had aligned with the Wraith] Ronon!
[Referring to Ronon's old compatriots]
Colonel Samantha Carter : Where are your friends?
Ronon Dex : [Glancing at the Atlantis crew] They're right here. Let's go home.
