- Ronon Dex: I just want to know who thinks I'm not a threat and give them a chance to change their mind.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: What the hell happened?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We got gassed.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Are we in some sort of trouble?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Was it the gas or the prison cell that was your first clue?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Do I make you nervous?
- Ladon Radim: Not at all, Major. I'm just not interested in talking to the errand boy.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That's Lieutenant Colonel Errand Boy to you.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: You know, I'm not sure that you've sufficiently trained me in actual combat. I-I-I don't know how much use I'd be in a fight-our-way-out kind of scenario.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, I look at it this way: the Genii have tried to kidnap you on numerous occasions to mine that big old brain of yours.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, if we get into trouble, I'll just trade your life for mine.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, funny.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Don't worry: if you survive, I'll mount some sort of rescue mission... eventually.
