Memorable Atlantis Quotes

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

McKay: There must be some kind of a command code that needs to be entered first.
Sheppard: Can you figure it out?
McKay: Yes, well command codes are usually quite simple like the number one or the letter A, like in Wraith.
Sheppard: Can you figure it out?!
McKay: NO! Not if I stood here and tried for a million years. And we have, oh look, less than a million years!

Sheppard: You dating anyone?
Ronon: You mean like a woman?
Sheppard: Or a man.
Ronon: No.

rofl

[Sheppard and Ronon Spot the Wraith dart]
Ronon: You thinking what I'm thinking?
Sheppard: Yeah, I fly the dart, beam you all up, and then I use its DHD to dial Atlantis and get out of here.
Ronon:*pause* I was thinking of blowing it up, but your plan sounds better. Get moving!

Ellis: You should be running Atlantis, not Dr. Weir.
Sheppard: But then I'd be the man, and who would I have to rage against?  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

There's yet another teeny example of Sheppard's slight Jack-ish-ness. lol

McKay: You see, the thing is, Col. Sheppard and I have sorta gotten into this habit of saving each others' lives and it's my turn.
[pause]
It can be your turn next.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

xd What episode is that from? I need to see it!

McKay: Col. Sheppard would have already had hours to try to make it back through the portal in the time I wasted explaining the situation to Conan and Xena!

I assume hes talking about Ronon and Teyla........ rofl

Jeannie: [smugly] I solved your problem in my spare time… with finger paints.

[Jeannie and McKay beam down]
Jeannie: Holy cow! That can't be good for your health.
Sheppard: Nothing to worry about. I've done it dozens of times. John Sheppard.
McKay: She's married, and she's my sister.
Sheppard: [defensively] I'm just saying hi.
McKay: Yeah, no, I know exactly what you're doing. I've seen that look before...Kirk.

Beckett: The water's not draining out.
McKay: Yeah, an excellent observation, thank you.
Weir: It is, however, draining in.
McKay: Oh, not again!

Weir: Alright, so that plan’s out the window. We need another one.
[Ronon holds up his ARG.]
Ronon: Well, these weapons blow them apart, right? I say we just start killing ‘em.
McKay: Well, normally I would share your run-and-gun enthusiasm, but these weapons are only gonna work for so long before they manage to identify the frequency they use to disrupt the bonds that hold the Replicators together.
[Ronon looks at him for a moment, then turns to John.]
Ronon: What’d he say?
Sheppard: They build up an immunity.

more like on plan c cracks me up. acting right.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

Stuff I need to see...

McKay: [the team is discussing a society that places criminals next to the stargate so they will be culled first as a form of capital punishment] I prefer lethal injection, although I do have a fondness for the electric chair. Call me romantic.

What do you mean?  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Kittyfox, what episode is that McKay quote from? The one about saving lives? D'you know?

Sheppard: Life isn’t fair – it’s just fairer than death.
Weir: Oscar Wilde?
Sheppard: The Princess Bride. Good movie.

[kittyfox_kumiko]

I've seen The Princess Bride about a hundred times and that line's not in there. Might be in the book, though.

No, I don't know. sad

McKay: Let's not be too quick to exclude the possibility that the woman might be, uh... what is the clinical term? "nuts"?  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Oh. Ok.

McKay: That's the plan!
Sheppard: That's the plan?
McKay: That's the plan!
Sheppard: That plan sucks!
Beckett: Aye!
McKay: This ship will be ejected along with the magma and steam several thousand feet into the air.
Sheppard: The ship can survive that?
McKay: For exactly four point one seconds, yes. Look, the hangar should disintegrate. The moment we're clear, we open a brief hyperspace window, jump to space before the explosion depletes our shields and incinerates us, hmm?
Sheppard: OK
Beckett: That's very clever Rodney
McKay: Huh, well, don't thank me til it works...which it...probably won't. Excuse me. [Ducks under the console]

Sheppard: You should call her.
Beckett: Who, Cadman?
Weir: You two did make a cute couple.
Beckett: It didn't work out. May have something to do with our first kiss being through Rodney.
McKay: Oh, I thought we made a solemn vow never to speak of that again!
Beckett: I remember no such thing.

Sheppard: We've got a plan, sir. A good one.
Jack: I'm sure you do, Colonel. But in the unlikely event that you don't fail miserably...you're fired.
Sheppard: Yes sir, looking forward to it.

Sheppard: [attempting to get Rodney's attention] Canadian Football league is a joke.[he pauses, then continues when Rodney fails to react] Celine Dion is overrated. [a second pause] Zelenka is smarter than you are! [a third pause]
McKay: [having heard nothing] Hey! I found mention of a bio-lab in the database. Ancient scientists used it to study animal life. We should check it out.
Sheppard: Okay, Meredith.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

My entire FAMILY laughed out loud at the last one. xd

McKay: All I know is that she's not who she's pretending to be.
Weir: And you know this because...?
McKay: What, I'm not allowed to have intuition?
Weir: You? No.

What do you mean?

he says hes a romantic but hes not so calling him a pimp is an oxymoron which is what is funny.  

[Atrummilits]

these are great quotes  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

I seriously don't get what you mean...

McKay: I'm picking up a strange reading from right over there.
Sheppard: Define strange.
McKay: [pause] You don't know what strange means?  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

whee

Well, an oxymoron is something that contradicts itself in itself like "the rules of Chaos", or the most famous one: "a terrible beauty." A pimp thats not romantic is normal, right? So therefore not an oxymoron.

McKay: Well...do we know what it does?
Grodin: It would appear to be an internal-external biometric sensor array.
McKay: See now...sadly I understood that. Where did all those Saturday nights go?

sad I miss Grodin.

[Sheppard is teeing off with an alternate-universe "Rod" McKay]
Sheppard: Well, I gotta admit—between you and me—you're a lot different than our Rodney too.
Rod: How so?
Sheppard: It's the little things. You like golf; you say "please" and "thank you"; you're, um… what's the opposite of condescending?
