- Teyla Emmagan: Can anyone do it?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: They'd have to know Rodney's password. Fortunately, I do.
- Teyla Emmagan: He told you his password?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: He didn't think I'd remember it. 16431879196842. See, didn't take a genius.
- Teyla Emmagan: I-it doesnt...
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: 1643 is the year Isaac Newton was born, 1879 Einstein and 1968...
- Teyla Emmagan: ...the year Rodney was born.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Never underestimate the size of that man's ego.
- Teyla Emmagan: Wait, weren't there other numbers?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: 42.
- Teyla Emmagan: What is that?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It's the ultimate answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything.
- Teyla Emmagan: Climb the tower? Is that even possible?
- Maj. John Sheppard: Sure, Batman did it all the time. Piece of cake.

- [looks at a pregnant Teyla]
- Teyla Emmagan: What?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: It's just every time one of these things happen in the movies the pregnant woman goes into labor.
- Teyla Emmagan: I'm still long way from my due day.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That's the same thing in the movies and then wham!
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: You know, I'm a little bit puzzled as to why Rodney hasn't solved this problem yet. He's been a little off his game lately.
- Colonel Samantha Carter: Maybe he doesn't have access to a computer.
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: Rodney without his computer? This I have yet to witness.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: One must always be on guard, you know, always looking out for the potholes. Now, you can call me a catastrophist, but it's a necessary burden I bear.
- Dr. Katie Brown: A mindset like that and a person would live in a constant state of worry and fear.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: You forgot despair.
