- Dr. Rodney McKay: You gonna eat your power bar?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yes, Rodney. Told you, shouldn't have eaten yours so early in the day.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm starving! Usually Flora feeds us some sort of food when we visit. Come on, you hardly ever eat yours.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No, Rodney!
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, will you give it to me later when you decide you're not gonna eat it?
- Harmony: You allow him to question you so incessantly?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I guess I'm just used to it by now.
- Harmony: Would it not be easier to beat him?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We don't beat people where we come from.
- Harmony: Why not?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, we find it's not very effective in the long run... unfortunately.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: She's 13, she's unreasonable, among many other awful attributes.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: You know, they say you dislike the things in others that you in fact dislike about yourself.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: So what?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: I'm just saying.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: We are nothing alike, okay?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Okay.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: She is a stuck-up, know-it-all brat.
- [as Rodney is about to continue, John glances sideways toward him]
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh, ha, ha, ha.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: More searching, less complaining.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: Sorry, I'm hungry, and when I'm hungry, I get cranky.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: And when you get cranky, you get hit.
- Dr. Rodney McKay: [to Harmony, age 13, regarding John] I'll give you this, you are a *lot* more mature than the women he usually falls for.
- Harmony: How many Genii are out there, John?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: If I had to guess, I'd say all of them.
