- Dr. Carson Beckett: So part of his body is experiencing time at a different pace than the other? Who knows what that could do to him?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I have no idea but I suspect he could use a doctor.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: So you don't even know if he's alive?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: The most time-efficient approach was to assume that he's alive but stranded.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Then why not assume that he can make his own way back through the portal?
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Because Colonel Shepppard would have already had hours to try to make it back through the portal in the time I wasted explaining the situation to Conan and Xena.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [stranded on the other side of the time-dilation portal] This is Sheppard. I appreciate you can't hear me, but I don't have a volleyball to talk to, so what the hell.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Tape it to the stick, we extend the camera through, record for a few minutes, pull it back, play the record.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yeah, "MALP on a Stick".
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Okay, then, any volunteers?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'll go.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Just back out if you encounter anything problematic.

- Dr. Rodney McKay: Yeah, like, uh, poisonous atmosphere, acid atmosphere, no atmosphere.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I hope you got us a real Jumper pilot because

- Dr. Rodney McKay: I don't trust him and I can't fly the damn thing in a straight line.
- Teer: It's we who should thank you for saving our brother form the Beast.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: That's funny, I don't remember winning.
