- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: My childhood hero was Evel Knievel.
- Teyla Emmagan: Was he not evil?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No, it was just his name. He was a daredevil - which isn't kind of a devil. He just jumped motorcycles over things.
- Ronon Dex: Why?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Just because. Didn't always make it either.
