Keller is going along and Ronon volunteers to go with her. Rodney, finding out, is less than thrilled...Read the full recap
Episode Quotes
Rodney: I’ve been pulled from my regular duties to help him with his data base research. I’ve got stuff on the go, you know, important vital projects for the betterment of the human race.
Sheppard: Apparently there are other people doing equally important work, Rodney, as hard as it is to believe.
Sheppard: Apparently there are other people doing equally important work, Rodney, as hard as it is to believe.
Daniel: But several of Janus’ peers suspected he had a “bastion of unfettered thought and experimentation.“ Or as one of his lovers put it…
Rodney: He had lovers?
Daniel: “An isle of solitude within the city walls.”
Rodney: That could just mean he was hard to talk to. People say things like that about me all the time.
Rodney: He had lovers?
Daniel: “An isle of solitude within the city walls.”
Rodney: That could just mean he was hard to talk to. People say things like that about me all the time.
Woolsey: You’re in command here until I return, understood?
Sheppard: Okay.
Woolsey: Try not to blow her up while I'm gone.
Sheppard: No promises.
Sheppard: Okay.
Woolsey: Try not to blow her up while I'm gone.
Sheppard: No promises.
Ronon: I think I should come with you on this.
Keller: Really, why?
Ronon: I don’t really trust these guys?
Keller: You don’t trust Todd and his Wraith, or the entire crew of the Daedalus to protect me if something goes wrong?
Ronon: I don’t know. Both, I guess.
Keller: Really, why?
Ronon: I don’t really trust these guys?
Keller: You don’t trust Todd and his Wraith, or the entire crew of the Daedalus to protect me if something goes wrong?

Daniel: He wouldn’t want anyone around when he came in and out of his lab.
Rodney: Ooh, like the Batcave.
Daniel: Yes. Just like the Batcave.
Rodney: Ooh, like the Batcave.
Daniel: Yes. Just like the Batcave.
Rodney: Doesn’t that bother you? I mean, no vindication, no recognition, no credit.
Daniel: Well, I could say the same thing about you. The discoveries you’ve made, you probably could’ve won the Nobel Prize five times over by now.
Rodney: Too true. So, I guess none of us signed up to get famous, huh?
Daniel: No, we did it for the money.
Rodney: (chuckles) Good one. Wait a minute, you don’t get paid more than I, do you? Do you?
Daniel: Well, I could say the same thing about you. The discoveries you’ve made, you probably could’ve won the Nobel Prize five times over by now.
Rodney: Too true. So, I guess none of us signed up to get famous, huh?

(McKay touches a laser beam and gets burned)
Rodney: Ow!
Daniel: Oh yeah, I tried that. They zap you when you touch them.
Rodney: You could have told me that before I touched it.
Daniel: I could have, yes.
Rodney: Ow!
Daniel: Oh yeah, I tried that. They zap you when you touch them.
Rodney: You could have told me that before I touched it.
Daniel: I could have, yes.
Zelenka: No offense, but the math I’m using is so complicated that I don’t know if I can dumb it down enough to make sense.
Sheppard: Try!
Sheppard: Try!
McKay: They’re going to kill you, we don’t have a choice.
Daniel: Yes we do.
McKay: Okay, so I do nothing, they come in here, they kill you, who gets killed next, huh? Me. To tell you the truth here, I’m quite fond of me. So I might as well do it when you’re still alive, as opposed to, you know, then.
Daniel: Yes we do.
McKay: Okay, so I do nothing, they come in here, they kill you, who gets killed next, huh? Me. To tell you the truth here, I’m quite fond of me. So I might as well do it when you’re still alive, as opposed to, you know, then.
McKay: You still alive?
Daniel: I think so. I’d hate to think Heaven looks like this.
McKay: Who says we went to Heaven?
Daniel: I think so. I’d hate to think Heaven looks like this.
McKay: Who says we went to Heaven?
Zelenka: Don’t look at the blast!
Sheppard: You might have mentioned that before!
Sheppard: You might have mentioned that before!
