from season 5, episode 10: First Contact
Daniel: Is everything a competition with you?
McKay: I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Daniel: I just found you a secret lab full of really cool Ancient stuff. I kind of think that should score me some points here.
McKay: OK, I admint I might have been a bit of brusque with you up until now.
Daniel: Just a little...
McKay: But the truth is, I really didn't think you're gonna find anything.
Daniel: Well, that much I actually understand.
McKay: You do?
Daniel: Yeah. I... spent the majority of my professional life being ridiculed for my theories - most of which turned out to be correct, by the way - I'm kinda used to it, Rodney.
McKay: Wasn't that bothering you? That there's no indication or recognition of credit?
Daniel: No, I could say the same thing about you. The discoveries you've made yet probably could've won the Nobel prize five times over by now.
McKay: That's too true. So, guess none of us signed up to be famous, huh?
Daniel: No, we did it for the money!
McKay: Hehehe, good one! Heh heh... You mean, you don't get paid more than I do, do you? Do you?!

from season 5, episode 9: Tracker
Ronon: Just wondering how long you'd make it out here without your little gadgets.
McKay: Oh, you know, I think you'd be surprised, you know? I mean, I may not be exactly what you would call an outdoors person, but that doesn't mean I don't find the whole man versus nature thing uninteresting. Hell, I joined a scouting organisation when I was a child. Lodge Fourteen of the Fort McMurray Eager Beavers.
Ronon: Beavers?

from season 5, episode 4: Daedalus Variations
Alternate!Sheppard: Alright, that's the last of them. So, what happens now?
Sheppard: Well, we go our own ways.
Alternate!Sheppard: Just like that?
Sheppard: Pretty much.
Alternate!Sheppard: Well, thing is, we do have a few questions. See, the Daedalus we know was destroyed two years ago in a battle with the Replicators.
Sheppard: Sorry to hear that, but... this isn't our Daedalus either, we're just... borrowing it for a while.
Alternate!Sheppard: OK, I have no idea what that means.
Sheppard: Well, like I said, it's a long story.
Alternate!Sheppard: All right, Daedalus, good luck.
Sheppard: Thank you, Colonel. And one last thing: it's been a pleasure. You're obviously a man of great integrity here, and a dedicated commander, and a very skilled pilot.
Alternate!Sheppard: Well, that's funny. I was gonna say the same to you.

from season 5, episode 3: Broken Ties
McKay: Hey. You're up early.
Sheppard: It's ten a.m.
McKay: It is? Ah, God! I didn't sleep at all! I was up all night, thinking about this Ronon situation.
Sheppard: You got anything?
McKay: Nothing. I tried everything: pacing, snacking, bathing...
Sheppard: Bathing?
McKay: Yeah, like Archimedes.
Sheppard: You mean the Greek scientist who had a crush on Teyla?
McKay: No, like the Greek mathematician who came up with the Archimedes principle. The physical laws of buoyancy? According to legend, the idea came to him when he was sitting in the bath, so ... Look, the point is that the revelation occurred while he was, you know, relaxing, not thinking about the problem. The solution, as it turns out, was right in front of him all along.
Sheppard: You think we've overlooked something?
McKay: I don't know. Maybe. Look, all I know is I was up all night going over it and I'm drawing a blank, so, look, I could use a fresh perspective.
Sheppard: I'm not takin' a bath with you.

Woolsey: Well, then. I think I'll start by going over copies of all your latest reports. Yours as well, Doctor.
McKay: What, right now?
Woolsey: I've been out of touch on the Daedalus for three weeks. I'd like to be brought up to speed as quickly as possible. We can have a full briefing in the morning.
Sheppard: It's a nice speech. Very inspiring.

Sheppard: The city has solar-powered generators, right?
McKay: Yes, which would come in very handy if we were trying to power a couple of electric golf carts.

Beckett: Well, that's easy for you to say, but you're not the one who just found out he was made in test tube.
McKay: As far as I'm concerned, one of the best friends I ever had just came back from the dead. I'm not gonna quibble over a couple of telomeres!

Todd: Obviously there is more you want from me, or you would not have come.
Ronon: Maybe we just came to kill ya.
Todd: Did you?
Sheppard: Unfortunately, no.
Todd: Well, there's always next time.

Keller: Whoa whoa whoa, wait wait, don't pull me up!
McKay: What?! Why?
Keller: I see light!
McKay: No no no no no! Don't go toward the light! You want to stay in the land of the living!!

Ronon: I watched it last night. There was hardly any fighting.
Sheppard: It's not about fighting.
Ronon: Then why's it called Blades of Glory?

Kavanagh: I happily left the SGC because I had had it up to here with the military running things, and you just busted me like a private.
Weir: Don't be so dramatic. Besides, the Air Force doesn't have privates.
Kavanagh: Neither do I. You just cut them off. Right in front of my research team.
Weir: That's what this is about? You're embarrassed?
Kavanagh: Well, humiliated would be a little more accurate.
Weir: I haven't worked up to humiliation yet.

Lorne: No sign of the rest of the crew. Whoever attacked the ship must have taken them prisoner.
McKay: Including our friend.
Sheppard: Stop calling him that. It's weird.
Ronon: Then what do we call him?
Sheppard: I don't know. Let's go with... Todd.
(Rodney grimaces at him.)
Sheppard: It's a guy I knew in college. He was very pale.
McKay: Todd's a terrible name!
Sheppard: You got a better one?

Carter: You have had more experience with the Wraith than just about anyone, and in particular with this Wraith. You have a history.

McKay: No, there's something you're not telling us - she was hot, wasn't she?
Sheppard: I don't know what you're talking about.
McKay: Aw, I knew it. That is so typical.
Sheppard: She had me beat Rodney! She threatened to kill me several times. It wasn't like we were hanging out in the spa together.
McKay: Whatever. All that I know is that every time I get taken captive, it's the Wraith. Just once, I would like to be taken prisoner by the sexy alien.

Weir: It's all about strategy. He's planning his next move, and the move after that, and the move after that.
Ronon: I guess you do a lot of that around here.
Weir: Yes, we do. I take it that's not how you prefer to do things.
Ronon: No. I'm leaving.
Weir: Hey, Ronon, wait. Just because we do things differently, doesn't mean we can't learn from each other; and Colonel Sheppard has already invested an incredible amount of time and energy trying to make you an integral part of his team.
Ronon: I meant I'm leaving the table.
Weir: Oh.
Ronon: Is that OK?
