"What the hell is going on here?" "I was simply stating an opinion, Major." "She attacked me!" "And for good reason." "Yeah, and what reason would that be?" "My guess would be the Wraith." "Walk away, Bates." "Sir!" "Walk away!" "This isn't over." "I would be disappointed if it were." "What the hell are you doing? You don't go around decking the head of security." "He said I—" "I don't care what he said. He says a lot of things. You just stay away from him."

"What's going on?" "They ran into some sort of resistance. I'm thinking Wraith." "Wraith? I thought you said this planet was uninhabited." "It was." "I told you she was a liability, sir. Now, I'm not going to let your personal feelings endanger this facility any longer." "What?" "Look, I'm not accusing you of doing it intentionally, but the Wraith must be getting information from you." "What the hell are you talking about? We ran into a… What the hell was that?" "Looked an awful lot like a T-Rex, Sir." "Yeah, a T-Rex. Wasn't even a Wraith. So why don't you check those accusations?" "I take it you don't recommend the planet as an Alpha site, Major?" "Wouldn't be my first choice. If McKay doesn't get the satellite on line, we're screwed."

"Not only has Teyla been able to ascertain that the Wraith are more interested in Earth than Atlantis — which is, you know, terrifying — she realized that the hive ships will go right past the only surviving Lagrangian Point satellite." "The last of what we assume were dozens of defense satellites destroyed during the Ancients' last stand with the Wraith." "Yes, yes, yes. The point is, we think we can use it to our advantage." "I thought you said it was dead." "It is, but we think we've learned enough about how it works to bring it back." "If we are right about what is wrong with it."

"Major. Is Teyla coming with you?" "You're not seriously asking me that." "I think that's a bad call, sir." "Here we go again." "All I'm saying is we still don't fully understand her connection to the Wraith, and in my opinion, I don't think we should expose her to information we wouldn't want the Wraith to have—not the least of which is the location of our evac site." "The doctor gave her a clean bill of health." "And that's good to hear, Sir, but if she can't control how the Wraith use her—" "You don't know that." "That's right, we don't. She saw everything they saw. Who's to say they can't do the same with her, see what we see? If she's been compromised in any way—" "She's an integral part of my team. Period. End of story. We're done."

"MA5-393?" "No, we've only been there at night, and it gets ridiculously hot during the day, so, no, not really an option." "We wouldn't be having this problem if the damn Alpha site that we'd picked hadn't been marked by the Wraith." "They're a real pain in the ass, aren't they?" "Yes, they are." "How about M4H-212?" "Nah, crawling with Genii spies." "Do you know that for a fact, Sergeant, or is your "Spidey sense" just tingling?" "It's a fact, sir." "Here we go—M1M-316. Stackhouse reported lush surroundings, and as far as his team could tell, it seemed uninhabited." "I'll get my team together and check it out." "Okay, good. Remember, Major, we don't need ideal. I think we'd all settle for close." "I'm on it."

"What about M1K-439?" "Which one's that?" "The one with all the waterfalls." "Waterfalls. See, now, why don't we just call it "Planet Waterfall?"What? I say we should just give them names… Look, we've got a list of five planets here. That should be enough potential Alpha sites to get Stackhouse and his team started." "Major Sheppard, we have a situation at Generator Station One." "What's the problem?" "It's Bates, sir." "What about him?" "He's been attacked." "Get a medical team down here."

"In military parlance, surprise…is an element on our side." "What do you need?" "The satellite's fifteen hours away by puddle jumper. I recommend that we put together a small crew. Say, myself, Grodin…and a pilot." "I'll go." "No, Miller can handle it. Major, I need you to keep searching for alternate Alpha sites, just in case this fails." "The hive ships will be in range of the satellite in 49 hours. We're going to need every last second of that time." "Questions? Okay, let's get on it. Well, Rodney… I don't mean to put any undue pressure, but at this moment, that satellite is the only thing standing between the Wraith and Atlantis." "No undue pressure."
