- Dr. Carson Beckett: All of his vitals are stable. His body's reacting like it has been struck by a Wraith stunner.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: So you think once the initial shock is over we'll have the old McKay back?
- Dr. Carson Beckett: I'm afraid so.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [after two white mice are burnt to black crisps during a test] I'm no scientist, but those mice used to be a different color.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm not crazy, I just have another consciousness in my brain.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: So he just looks crazy.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm sure I do but only because Dr Fumbles McStupid over here was in way over his head!
- Dr. Radek Zelenka: Yes, yes. I made a mistake trying to save your life! Now, do you want try to fix it or do you want to continue to berate me some more?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I am perfectly capable of doing both at the same time!
- Dr. Carson Beckett: You have a date, Rodney? With a woman?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: It is simply two adults sharing some friendly... yes, with a woman!
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Lieutenant, way to survive what I think may be my worst nightmare.
- Lt. Laura Cadman: Thank you, sir!
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, thank you!
- [John smiles at Rodney sarcastically]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: And how do you feel you're qualified to help us with this problem, huh?
- Dr. Kate Heightmeyer: I'm not. Who could be? This was not covered in medical school. But I have spent quite some time as a couples therapist.
- Lt. Laura Cadman: Ha. We're not a couple.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: In any sense of the definition, not a couple.
- Lt. Laura Cadman: No.
- Dr. Kate Heightmeyer: In physics, a couple is defined as a pair of forces equal in magnitude, acting in opposite directions. So you don't feel that applies here?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: That's very clever, but we're not equal forces.
- Lt. Laura Cadman: Watch it.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: And what I mean by that is that she's just a voice in my head. I have control of the body.
- Lt. Laura Cadman: I've seen your body, McKay. You can keep it.
- Teyla Emmagan: The cullings are getting more and more intense.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You said it yourself. Too many Wraith woke up at the same time. Too many mouths to feed, or... hands to feed.
