- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Rodney.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Look, maybe you are on the enzyme. Maybe Ford lied, because no rational person would think that was a good plan.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Look, a million things can go wrong, I know that, but just... look, stop! Shut up and listen. You fix that Dart - we all get outta here. I know it's risky but Ford's not thinkin' straight. So...
- Dr. Rodney McKay: What are you talking about?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'll insist you're all on the away team. I'll scoop you up and instead of flying out to the hive ship, we fly out to Atlantis.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: How?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That Dart's gotta have its own DHD, right?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Of course.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, then, get that thing fly-worthy, we all go home!
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Right, of course. Now, you see, I would have thought of that myself before I became a drug addict.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'm sure you would have.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm sorry.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It's alright.
- [John pats Rodney comfortingly on his arm]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: OK.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Couldn't we have met these people on a tropical beach planet populated by tall blonde women?
- Teyla Emmagan: Are you alright?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We're in a holding cell?
- Teyla Emmagan: Yes.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: On a hive ship?
- Teyla Emmagan: Uh huh.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Then no, I'm not doing so good.
- Lt. Aiden Ford: Jace has been trying to get it working but he's not you, McKay. Can you fix it?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Probably not.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That usually means yes.
- Lt. Aiden Ford: Now, thanks to Jace and some of the computers that we borrowed from the Genii, we've been able to figure out the exact flight path of one their hive ships.
- Jace: It's decimating all inhabited worlds in its path.
- Lt. Aiden Ford: It has to be stopped.
- Jace: I've been able to calculate that in the next several days, it'll be forced to make a hyperspace pause very near an uninhabited planet that happens to have a Stargate.
- Kanayo: We gate to that planet, get on the hive ship, plant the C4 in the Dart bay, and get out.
- Jace: We could save thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of lives.
- Lt. Aiden Ford: So?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Wow.
- Lt. Aiden Ford: Wow?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You heard me.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Let me see if I can couch what Colonel Sheppard means by "wow" in more explicit terms. That is a terrible plan.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: So, uh, what's the plan?
- Kanayo: We take them by force.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That's some groundbreaking strategy there.
