Stargate: Atlantis2004

Ronon Dex:
I hear you're in charge.

Colonel Samantha Carter:
[somewhat confused, glances from McKay to Ronan]

Dr. Rodney McKay:
Ah... Ronan, this is Colonel Carter. Sam, this is Ronan, he's...

Colonel Samantha Carter:
Satedan. [walking around desk to be closer to them] And... a member of your team, of course. What can I do for you?

Ronon Dex:
Uh, I wanna bring some friends to Atlantis and apparently I've gotta clear it through you first.

Colonel Samantha Carter:
Unfortunately, some new security procedures prevent me from allowing any off-world visits to Atlantis for the time being.

Ronon Dex:
Under whose authority?

Colonel Samantha Carter:
[beginning to feel challenged] It was a directive from the IOA.

Ronon Dex:
Well they don't need to know.

Dr. Rodney McKay:
[somewhat in scolding way, attempting to intervene on Carter's behalf] Ronan, she's uh...

Colonel Samantha Carter:
[holds up hand to stop McKay] I'm sure you understand what a precarious position we're in here. It is imperative that the location of this base remains a secret.

Ronon Dex:
And it will. They're my people, I'll vouch for them.

Colonel Samantha Carter:
[with a sigh] I'm sure you can. But for now, we're on a new planet with a new set of rules.

Ronon Dex:
And a new person in charge. [takes a few steps toward Carter, so he is just close enough to intimidate] Weir never would have doubted me.

Colonel Samantha Carter:
[small laugh and a sigh] Okay, first of all, Ronan, I'm not doubting you. These new regulations apply to everyone on this base. And secondly, [pause] I'm not Dr. Weir. [Ronan walks away, leaving Carter a little stunned; she turns to McKay] Wow. Is he always like that?

Dr. Rodney McKay:
No. No, [nodding with a sigh] uh, actually, you... you caught him on a good day.
