Quotes
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : Jennifer says it's gonna get worse now, almost by the hour. In a week or so, I won't even remember my own name. How's about... How 'bout we say goodbye now?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No.
Dr. Rodney McKay : What do you mean, no?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I mean I'm not saying goodbye.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I'm saying it anyway.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Then I'm not listening.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, but pretty soon I won't even know who you are.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Well I'll remind you.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah but I don't want you to see me like that. I want you to remember me as I am, as your genius friend, not as some shi...
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : -NOT happening.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Please.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You're stuck with me, Rodney, just accept it.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah bu...
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No! And that's final.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Okay.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Okay.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [meaningful pause] You're a good friend, Arthur.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [Looks over, sees McKay is joking, and spits out his beer laughing]
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : Believe me, I've already forgotten more than most people will ever know.
-
Dr. Jennifer Keller : You can go ahead Rodney.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I don't remember where to start.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : Sure you do.
Dr. Rodney McKay : No.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : Start with your name, like we've been doing, okay? We'll just go from there.
Dr. Rodney McKay : My name? My name is... Mr. Rodney McKay.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : No...
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yes.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : No. C'mon now, you're *Doctor* McKay, remember?
Dr. Rodney McKay : No. I'm not anymore. I'm not... smart anymore. Doctors are smart, so I'm *Mister* now.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : Okay.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I used to be the smartest person ever. And now... and now I'm not.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : That's what we're trying to fix.
Dr. Rodney McKay : No. You can't fix me.
-
Richard Woolsey : Colonel Sheppard, when you reach the research camp, please remind Dr. Nichols that he is now one hour and fifteen minutes overdue for his scheduled check-in.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Alright. Want me to smack him around or anything?
Richard Woolsey : Just the reminder please.
Teyla Emmagan : Shouldn't we be concerned for Dr. Nichols' team?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No. The settlement's a half hour away from the gate and Woolsey's got him checking in every six. I'm sure Nichols is just tired of taking the round trip.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Still, wouldn't hurt to bust his chops a bit. That Nichols is so arrogant.
-
Teyla Emmagan : [Rodney sneezes. Teyla feels his forehead] Were you running a fever before we left?
Dr. Rodney McKay : I dunno, I'm always running something.
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : Remind me to register a complaint with whoever's idea this was.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : Uh, it was yours actually.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, well complaint duly registered.
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I'm not going anywhere. You know, you wanna hang out, you just hang out.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I don't know what to do with myself. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have woken you up.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Look, it's a nice night out. Let's go have some beer on the pier, okay?
Dr. Rodney McKay : I drink beer?
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : Absolutely not.
Jeannie Miller : We're talking about saving your life.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [brandishing the drill] Look, my brain is not some new deck off the back of your house.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I'm not the one doing the surgery.
Dr. Rodney McKay : [to Keller] Yeah, and as my parting advice, you need to stop letting these guys talk you into doing stupid things.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : I can do it.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Really?
Jeannie Miller : And I'm fairly sure I can modify the life signs detector.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Yeah, with my help.
Jeannie Miller : So help.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Look, this isn't one of those PBS brain surgeries where my scull is open and we're having a conversation...
Dr. Jennifer Keller : I have enough anesthetic to put you out, you're not gonna feel a thing.
Dr. Rodney McKay : It's probably a *hammer*.
-
Dr. Jennifer Keller : Honestly, I didn't expect it to work. I expected nothing would happen and that would be that. So why did it? You don't believe in magic shrines anymore than I do.
Jeannie Miller : Show him the readings.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Hm.
Jeannie Miller : That's what I said.
Dr. Rodney McKay : You said "hm"?
-
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [the team emerged from a Stargate that was unexpectedly underwater and is stuck on top] . Alright, everybody. We'll be warm soon enough.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I think I got wetter than you did.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : I don't know. I think I got a little damp dialing the DHD.
Teyla Emmagan : The research camp is further up this valley. I'm a little concerned for Dr. Nichols' team.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : [into radio] Anyone at the research camp, this is Colonel Sheppard, please respond. I repeat, this is Colonel Sheppard, please respond.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I'm pretty sure they're all dead.
Teyla Emmagan : We can't know that Rodney!
-
Dr. Rodney McKay : [in a hospital bed] Hey, can I go now? I feel a little silly lying here.
Dr. Jennifer Keller : I'm keeping you under observation for a little longer. Besides, I ordered you dinner.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, then you can observe me eat, because I'm famished.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : It's official: he's better.
