RODNEY: “I’m not entirely sure.”
ZELENKA: “It could just be me, but wasn’t that planet green a few moments ago?”
CARTER: “Mckay, what were you thinking just now?”
RODNEY: “Oh nothing – just thinking back to that mission report where you found a time machine inside a puddle jumper and I thought, ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we…”
BECKETT: “O’ no…”
CARTER: “Flip it back! Flip it back!”

- Rodney secretly wondered why Thor sounded suspiciously like Dr. Jackson.
___________
JOHN: “There’s got to be a catch.”
ELIZABETH: “What do you mean John?”
JOHN: “Well, there’s never just a huge piece of highly advanced technology just waiting to be taken with no opposition.”
- Mckay looked at Sheppard and then motioned to the space around him. Weir smirked.
JOHN: “Okay, there’s usually a catch.”
________
DANIEL: “Nice ship you’ve got here.”

MCKAY: “Bad things.”
_______
THOR: “Apologies, my digit lacked sufficient traction with the beam mechanism.”
MCKAY: (off hand) “His finger slipped.”

JOHN: “Did we just?”
MCKAY: “Yes.”
JOHN: “And is that ship…”
MCKAY: “Yes.”
JOHN: “So basically we’re…”
