- Dr. Rodney McKay: What?
- Dr. Carson Beckett: What?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, it's that look. That's the same look I get when I have a brilliant idea.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: How would you know how you looked?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: 'Cause it's happened more than once in front of a mirror, okay?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: I don't know anything about Atlantis, except that it was a fairly mediocre Donovan song, not one of my favorites.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Did you get some sleep?
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Yes. But still, I've been really tired lately.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Well, maybe you've got to work yourself back into playing shape. Spend a little time doing some short shifts before you jump up to the first line.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: I'm sorry. I don't know a thing about football.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Nor hockey, apparently.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Have you given any thought to coming back to the negotiating table? That non-proliferation treaty... you kind of left us hanging mid-sentence there. It'd sure be nice to hear the punchline someday.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: And the U.N. would be okay with that?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Not just okay. They're insisting.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Really?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: When you're the best, you're the best. Even if you've had a little... setback, so to speak... he said awkwardly.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you're not really Jack O'Neill.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Oh, I'm Jack O'Neill, all right. That's the one thing in this conversation I'm sure of.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Now, just to be sure we're on the same page, we're against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, right?
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Got it.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Do you think she's aware we're here?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: How can she be? She's unconscious.
- Dr. Carson Beckett: You may be right. You could try talking to her. Tell her to keep fighting.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: And that will help exactly how?
- Dr. Carson Beckett: In a coma, one's sense of hearing is the last thing to go and the first thing to return. There are many cases where patients were actually able to hear others talking to them in their rooms.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: And were these comas also caused by nanites invading people's bodies? Hmm?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Ah, reality check - there are microscopic robots in her brain. How does she fight that?
