Quotes

Dr. Carson Beckett : My theory is that the Ancients unwittingly allowed humans to evolve on a planet with, uh, insect species on it. At some point the insects fed on humans and somehow incorporated our DNA into theirs. The Wraith are an evolution of that combination.
Lt. Aiden Ford : So what you're saying is the Ancients actually created the Wraith?
Dr. Carson Beckett : By accident.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Or negligence.
-
Major John Sheppard : You're saying Teyla's part-Wraith?
Dr. Carson Beckett : A very small part.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Which makes her about as different from us as you, because of the Ancient gene you possess.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Well, and some other things!
-
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : You were right.
Dr. Carson Beckett : Lovely! About what?
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : Your theory of the Wraith evolving after the Ancients arrived in Pegasus galaxy...
Dr. Rodney McKay : Oh, you're kidding me!
Dr. Radek Zelenka : Pay up.
Dr. Carson Beckett : How d'you know?
Dr. Elizabeth Weir : The Wraith language... It's a derivative of Ancient.

Dr. Elizabeth Weir : According to Dr. Zelenka's calculations, we have less than one week before the Wraith arrive. I want options.
Dr. Rodney McKay : You mean besides crying ourselves to sleep? Well, not me. I haven't slept in days.
