- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Looks like ones of those toys you played with as a kid.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Commodore 64?
- Ronon Dex: Triple-barrel shotgun?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: A kaleidoscope.
- Dr. Jennifer Keller: [Keller is describing her nightmare] It was terrifying. There you were with this disgusting alien bug crawling out of your stomach, and Colonel Sheppard was acting like it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen.
- Ronon Dex: That sounds like that movie.
- Dr. Jennifer Keller: Yeah, Alien. Have you seen it?
- Teyla Emmagan: Colonel Sheppard speaks of it often.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I still remember the first time I saw it. Certainly did not think it was cool.
- Dr. Jennifer Keller: One time in med school, I made the mistake of confiding to my partner in biology class that it had caused my all-time worst nightmares. He actually planted a live snake inside a cadaver I was working on.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, I never saw it as a kid. I knew from the poster it was gonna be too scary. I was 16 when a neighbourhood theatre had a horror revival festival. I thought, great... date, movie. So... Jocelyn Rutger, third period science. Bit of a geek, but she had a great, um... Anyway, you know how girls get all, uh, scared, curl up on your shoulder?
- Teyla Emmagan: Your planet has some truly strange rituals.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Anyway, I eat when I get nervous.
- Ronon Dex: [being sarcastic] Really? I hadn't noticed.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: So, very tense, working like a charm. Jocelyn's all freaked out beside me. I'm packing away the Goobers and the popcorn. And then the alien bursts out of John Hurt.
- Teyla Emmagan: You didn't?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Puked all over her.
- Ronon Dex: [smiling] I have *got* to see this movie!
- 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.
- Ronon Dex: [Ronon is hacking through a jungle] What are we doing?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Exploring the Pegasus galaxy. It's what we do.
- Ronon Dex: You know what I mean.
- Teyla Emmagan: There certainly doesn't appear to be anything here that would help in our fight against the Wraith or the Replicators.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Come on, you guys kill me. Planets are huge, you know!
- Ronon Dex: Yeah, and usually you're the one complaining.
- Teyla Emmagan: Yes, this enthusiasm is most unlike you, Rodney.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm turning over a new leaf.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We did the standard flyover in the Jumper, scanning for life signs. Nothing.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: You can't fly around for ten minutes and decide there's nothing here.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yes I can!
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'm gonna recommend sending a science team to check it out.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I am a science team!
