Episode Quotes
 
Sheppard: (seeing McKay and Keller) Think he’s ever going to make a move?
Ronon: Who cares?
 
Kramer: Some of these worst-case scenarios are terrifying…
Tunney: Of course they’re terrifying—they’re worst-case scenarios. They are the worst possible thing that could happen, ever.
 
Bill Nye: See, back in the day whenever one of these people came up with a new idea or published a new paper, Dr. McKay here would swear that he was already working on something very similar. Just hadn’t gotten around to publishing it yet.
Neil Tyson: He’d say things like “I was about to say that very same thing,” or “ I was just about to have that same idea.”
Rodney: Hey, at least I didn’t declassify Pluto from planet status. Way to make all the little kids cry, Neil. That make you feel like a big man?
 
McKay: I think maybe this was a bad idea.
Keller: Why?
Rodney: Well, it’s just… I remembered I don’t really like these people.
Keller: Is it that you don’t’ like them, or maybe they don’t like you.
Rodney: Possible. I mean, I used to be a little… abrasive?
Keller: Oh, used to be, yeah.
 
Rodney: Humble, eh? I guess I can try anything once.
 
Front Desk Guy: Mr. Tunney would like a word.
Rodney: Ah-hah. Well, I’m guessing that that word is “I apologize.
Bill Nye: That’s, uh, two words, genius.
 
Rodney: Okay, this little side effect is going to really hamper our attempts to shut this thing down.
Keller: And by “hamper,” you mean “get us all killed.”
Rodney: Yeah. Something like that.
 
Keller: You guys need to suck it up and get along.
Bill Nye: It’s like I’ve always said. You see, people are more alike than they are different…
Keller: Not now, Nye.
Bill Nye: Okay.
 
Rodney: Hey, I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, all right? “Difficult” takes a few seconds, “impossible,” a few minutes.
