- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: How many of those
- [knives]
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: have you got?
- Ronon Dex: How many do you need?
- Dr. Carson Beckett: [treating McKay for his enzyme addiction] I feel not unlike the priest in The Exorcist.
- Neera: You have fought the Wraith before?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Lots of times. Won some battles, lost some. War's not over by a long shot, but we're managing to hold our own.
- Neera: And the clowns?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: The clowns? Oh, yeah, the clowns... we fight them too. Entire armies, spilling out of Volkswagens. We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending 'em in.
- Neera: What is it like, your world?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It's nice. Comfortable, good climate.
- Neera: Tell me what it looks like.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Like every other world, I suppose. Trees, water, mountains, Starbucks on every corner.
- Neera: The Wraith will not allow us to escape.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yeah, well, I try not to let them tell me what I can and can't do.
- Neera: [surprised] You do not fear them?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: The Wraith? Naah. Now clowns - that's another story. Scare the crap out of me.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: What is this? Payback? You're jealous, huh? You're jealous of how vital I am to this mission. Vital, vital. Jealous of how I get to go off-world, and you get stuck in this stupid pathetic excuse for a hospital.
- Dr. Carson Beckett: You know that's not true.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Jealous I get all the women and you don't!
