Dr. Rodney McKay: Seriously, am I the only one creeped out by that guy?
Maj. John Sheppard: They're politicians, Rodney - they're all creepy.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Margaret Thatcher wasn't creepy. OK - well, maybe a little. In fact, she was like an aunt of mine - same hairstyle, facial structure, only my aunt was much taller, and remarkably hirsute. Oddest thing: she had to shave twice a day.

I LOVE Sheppards line there, it's so true ^^

McKay: And I have, uh, discovered the ship's name. [he looks at his computer tablet] It's the, um, Hipapheralkus.

Beckett: It's just ash beginning to fall.
Teyla: Is that a sign that the volcano will soon erupt?

[Teyla stares]
Beckett: I mean, no, I doubt it.  

[Sayuri-Ryuu]

Sheppard: How many hives have become active since we woke the first one?
"Steve": All of them, Major Sheppard. First, they will travel their own feeding grounds and gather strength. We are a patient race, Major. When we have taken our fill and gathered our strength, we will join in force, and come for you.
Sheppard: Do you have any idea when that will be? Morning? Afternoon?
["Steve" groans in irritation]

Weir: Hey, if we keep this up, there won't be much of a city left to save.
Sheppard: I'll try to run the drones into your least favorite buildings...McKay!

Sheppard: Well, I look at it this way: the Genii have tried to kidnap you on numerous occasions to mine that big old brain of yours.
McKay: Yes.
Sheppard: Well, if we get into trouble, I'll just trade your life for mine.
McKay: Oh, funny.
Sheppard: Don't worry. If you survive, I'll mount some sort of rescue mission… eventually.

Weir: How?
Zelenka: The whales are emitting an intense, low frequency pulse...like...like a sonar; as well as an E-M field. The combination is very dangerous to humans - particularly in such close proximity.
McKay: [having heard none of this; his voice raised] It's the whales!
Beckett: [ignoring Rodney] Their hearing's been impaired; it should heal soon...
McKay: [continuing anyway; his voice still raised] It's their echo location! It's creating very powerful vibrations! The closer we got, the worse it became!
Zelenka: Yes... [Raising his voice] Yes Rodney! We know!
McKay: [after a brief pause] Oh!
Sheppard: [after an even longer pause] What?
