McKay: I'm sorry. It's just... I react to certain doom in a certain way. It's a bad habit.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

McKay: D-d-d-d…shut up, I have an idea

McKay: Uh... yes. Elizabeth's is.

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Sheppard: Yes, Rodney, I shot you, and I said I was sorry.

David's started this thing on YouTube called "My Favorite Line". They're from the episodes he's shooting right now, though, so I can't use them. sad

McKay: You're referring to the ship you just shot down! One that doesn't stand a hope in hell of ever flying again.
Torrell: The ship that you're gonna fix, yes.
McKay: What am I, MacGyver? Fix it with what?  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Oo, cool! But I won't look it up, no, I will be resolute until I've seen the episodes...

xd RDA reference......

McKay: Come on, you're a figment of my imagination. The least you can do is take your top off!
Carter: Your subconscious mind knows that I would never be into that.
McKay: You are the worst hallucination ever.

[Sheppard has ordered McKay to detonate a nuclear device which will kill the Wraith]
Telya: What about the ones that are still human?
Ronon: There's nothing we can do.
McKay: I suppose we could not incinerate them.

McKay: I'm not sure but I think I may actually be getting smarter. It's hard to say for sure because I was pretty smart to start with but recently I've been having some ideas that I don't think even I would have thought of before.
Sheppard: Does superego count as a power?
[A nurse brings McKay some food]
McKay: oh, finally. Look, keep it coming.
Sheppard: [to Weir] We could also be dealing with a super-appetite, although it’s hard to tell because he ate so much before  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

whee I heart Tao of Rodney!

Sheppard: R2, I need you to turn the auto pilot off.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Its one of my favourite episodes!

xd Star Wars joke.........

Heres another one (or more) from Tao of Rodney:

McKay: Yes, I'm me! I'm my old self!
Beckett: Are you certain?
McKay: Ya, I'm alive. I feel--I feel great--I feel--uh...um...hungry...
Sheppard: He's fine.

McKay: One more time: mysterious energy pulse from a device created by the Ancients. I mean, who knows what kind of long-term effects I could be in for? I mean, there’s gross mutation, giantism, invisibility...
Sheppard: That would be cool. I turned into a bug.

lol

Zelenka: You know, you're not pleasant when you're like this, McKay.
McKay: I'm always like this.
Zelenka: My point exactly.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

*love that scene*

Sheppard: We got the drones, we got a few jumpers; I even got the girl.
Weir: You got the girl?
Sheppard: Well, I mean I could have got the girl. I turned her down.
Weir: [smiling] What did you offer them in return for the drones and the jumpers?
Sheppard: A supply of medicines and an IDC if they need to reach us. We also offered to help `em come up with a new way of running things when the time comes.
Weir: They didn't offer you king?
Sheppard: I turned that down too.

Sheppard: I got six...Teyla got...?
Teyla: Eight.
Sheppard: [on radio] …yeah, I got nine, Teyla got eight, Ronon got the rest.
[Teyla gives him an exasperated look]
…
[Later on the Jumper]
Sheppard: It's nothing, really. I only killed eleven, twelve Wraith.

[McKay is explaining what he's been doing for the past few years]
Jeannie: What have you gotten yourself involved in here, Meredith?
Carter: Meredith?
McKay: It's a long story.
Jeannie: It's his name.
Carter: Your name is Meredith McKay?
McKay: Meredith Rodney McKay, yes, but I prefer to go by "Rodney." Look, can we just stick to the point here? Look out the window. Much more interesting than my name.
Carter: [grinning] Your name is Meredith?

xd Love that episode.

mrgreen

Sheppard: Without inertial dampening, we'd be hit by so many g's, our eyes would pop, our skin would pull away from our faces, our brains would squish up to the back our skulls, and our internal organs would be crushed into these chairs. What about that sandwich?  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Weir: The city can handle that?
McKay: Yes. Theoretically.
Sheppard: Like "dinosaurs turned into birds" theoretically or "theory of relativity" theoretically?
McKay: [looks confused] What? Um, somewhere between.

Oberoth: Lower your weapons.
Sheppard: [not moving] How much lower would you like 'em?

Sheppard: Shouldn't you guys be bickering or something?
McKay: Ah, we've got nothing to bicker about. He's run out of bad ideas... finally.
Zelenka: [sulkily] If we survive this, I'm putting in for a transfer.
McKay: Oh, please. We both know that you've done your best work under me.
Zelenka: Under you?! I'm my own department head, you know.
McKay: Please! We both know that department is a joke.
Zelenka: What?!
Sheppard: Why don't you two just make out and get it over with?  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

It's sad, but that first one is at the end of a songvid I used to watch nightly, so I ended up sitting down one day and figuring out how it actually makes perfect sense. sweatdrop

Too outrageous to pass up:

Kavanagh: I happily left the SGC because I had had it up to here with the military running things, and you just busted me like a private.
Weir: Don't be so dramatic. Besides, the Air Force doesn't even have privates.
Kavanagh: Neither do I. You just cut them off. Right in front of my research team.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Sad alright. mrgreen And another example of how smart Sheppard is, really.

McKay: I wonder why we never hooked up.
Carter: What, aside from the fact that you're petty, arrogant and treat people badly?
McKay: ...yes.
Carter: Nope, that's pretty much it: petty, arrogant, bad with people.
McKay: Oh. But you do find me attractive?
Carter: Let’s stick to working on my idea.
McKay: No, this is my idea.
Carter: How do you figure?
McKay: Well, you don’t exist. You think what my subconscious tells you to think! So, really the idea was mine. [realizing] Oh, wow! I'm arguing with myself about who had an idea first—me or me. I really am petty, aren't I?

Oh, and this is my favourite bit in that episode:

[After Zelenka realizes Sheppard wants him to go underwater in the puddlejumper with him to save McKay]
. Zelenka: Oh! No-no-no-no-no-no – I cannot possibly ... uh, no.
Weir: Radek.
Zelenka: I-I ... I can't even swim!
Sheppard: There's not a lot of swimming under a thousand feet of ocean.
Weir: (to Radek) Look, I'm not gonna order you to go.
Sheppard: I will! [Elizabeth shoots him a look]
Weir: All I'm saying is that if Rodney can't turn to you, who can he turn to?
Zelenka: [thinks for several seconds] Right. Give me a few minutes and I'll get my gear.

Aw.....they really do care about Rodney.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

Sheppard: It's good to hear your voice.
Weir: Yeah. It's good to hear.
