Stargate Atlantis, Season 5
Jackson:
Is everything a competition with you?
McKay:
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Jackson:
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.
Jackson:
Just a little...
McKay:
But the truth is, I really didn't think you're gonna find anything.
Jackson:
Well, that much I actually understand.
McKay:
You do?
Jackson:
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?
Jackson:
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?
Jackson:
No, we did it for the money!
McKay:
Hehehe, good one! Heh heh... [resumes working then pauses again] You mean, you don't get paid more than I do, do you? [Jackson sighs] Do you?!
