Dr. Rodney McKay : Exactly, but , while I was working on it, I figured out a way to create a glitch that, on my command, should momentarily freeze them.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : "Should."
Dr. Rodney McKay : Okay, if you will, I mean, dead in their tracks. Like hitting the pause button. Only temporarily, until they figure out how to override it.
Ronon Dex : How long?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, I don't know. That's why I said "momentarily."
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Days? Hours? Minutes?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, look, it's minutes, but I don't know. That's what I was just saying to him.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : 10? 20?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Okay, fine, you want a number? Fine, seven. 7 minutes and 31 seconds. Are you happy?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : No.
Dr. Rodney McKay : No?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : That's not enough time.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Okay, well, you wanted a number.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : A bigger number!
Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, it may very well be longer.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : Or shorter.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I don't know. Look, you're missing the point.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Gentlemen, focus, please.

Ronon Dex : Not much point in leaving without blowing this place up first.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : How would we do that?
[everyone looks at Rodney]
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, that's me. Right. Surprise, surprise. Look, why don't I just go on these missions by myself, hmm?
-
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : You mean, you have a plan?
Oberoth : We do.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Great, let's hear it.
[Oberoth stares at him blankly]
Dr. Rodney McKay : You plan, I mean.
Oberoth : I doubt that you would be able to grasp its complexity and scope.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Fortunately, I'm very good with complexity.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : And scope.
-
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : And Oberoth will agree to this?
Niam : I believe Oberoth is attacking Atlantis as a result of that programming. If we can prove to him that it can be altered...
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : You think he'll see the light?
Dr. Rodney McKay : [sarcastically] Hallelujah.
-
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Ancients?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard : He's got one of their scanners.
Dr. Rodney McKay : So do we.
-
Oberoth : I am unaccustomed to repeating myself, however, leader to leader, I will say this once again. We will eliminate the Wraith at a time of *our* choosing.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : And you don't care how many of my people, or anyone else, dies while you make up your mind to act? You said earlier that your brothers' greatest weakness was their arrogance. May I suggest it runs in the family?
-
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Rodney?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Hmm?
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Well, this cell is similar to ours. Is there something in the design that could offer a possible escape?
Dr. Rodney McKay : Are you serious? It's a jail cell.
-
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : I just had a horrible thought.
Teyla Emmagan : What if it is still happening?
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Yes.
Dr. Rodney McKay : There's got to be a way to know for sure.
[Pushes John's head and John smacks his leg]
Dr. Rodney McKay : Doesn't really prove anything.
