Episode Quotes
Rodney: Okay, I got bad news and I got good news.
Sheppard: What is it?
Rodney: There's little or no chance of getting the DHD working - the system is completely out of wack. It's gonna take some incredibly intricate re-routing of the power in order-
Sheppard: Woh, woh! What's the good news?
Rodney: That was the good news. The bad news is we lost life support.
Ronon: So no air?
Rodney: Right, that's...that's why it's bad.

Woolsey: Any of the other Jumpers reporting trouble?
Sheppard: No. Probably an isolated incident, but McKay and Zelenka are checking into it. We should probably ground the Jumpers until we know what the problem is, though.
Woolsey: Alright, but the planet. Suitable for an Alpha site?
Sheppard: Yeah, perfect. Well, except from the monkey-like creature flying around, but I think we can handle that.
Woolsey: Monkey?
Sheppard: Yeah, McKay's got some photos. He'll show 'em to ya.
Woolsey: Did you say "flying"?

Woolsey: Did you say "flying"?
Woolsey: Ronon, you don't have to stay there the whole time you know.
Ronon: I'm good.
Rodney: Talk, talk, talk, that's all he does. You can't shut him up.
Ronon: I'm good.
Rodney: Talk, talk, talk, that's all he does. You can't shut him up.
