Stargate Atlantis, Season 5

[McKay and Jackson have escaped from the room where they were being held and are searching the facility.]

Dr. McKay:
Okay, we need to get to the device control room.

Dr. Jackson:
It'll be crawling with soldiers...

Dr. McKay:
Oh, well then we'll need to create a diversion.

Dr. Jackson:
I'm awares.

Dr. McKay:
Okay, ahh...We'll go to the power relay station, we'll create a massive explosion.

Dr. Jackson:
And I never got how that made a good diversion.

Dr. McKay:
[stops walking] What?

Dr. Jackson:
You want to clear the device control room of bad guys, right?

Dr. McKay:
Yes!

Dr. Jackson:
Sooo...why would you assume if there was a massive explosion people would go running towards it?

Dr. McKay:
Well, I would.

Dr. Jackson:
I rest my case! [walks past McKay]

Dr. McKay:
[catches up] Oh, I'm sorry, you know, I'm a good person, I would want to save people from a fire; maybe figure out what's going on?

Dr. Jackson:
I, au contraire, would order more guards to protect the one room I thought whoever's blowing things up probably wants to get to!

Dr. McKay:
[stops for a second before running to catch up with Jackson again] Explosion diversion is the very cornerstone of diversions!

Dr. Jackson:
You don't have any better ideas.

Dr. McKay:
I don't have any better ideas, yes.

[They open a door, revealing two Asgard suits]

Dr. McKay:
[panicking and grovelling] Oh my God, please don't kill me, you need me.

Dr. Jackson:
Rodney?

Dr. McKay:
Us, us. You need us. Look, the device needs constant care. I mean, true, I'm the only one who knows how to work it. You don't have to kill me for it, you're not a violent race. I mean, you may have stunned us a few more times than I would have liked, but who's to say we didn't deserve it.

Dr. Jackson:
Rodney, they're just suits-

Dr. McKay:
Yes, suits. Suits that house one of the smartest races that ever evolved. The Asgards, I've always been a big fan of the Asgards. Some of my best friends are Asgards.

Dr. Jackson:
They're empty suits. (waves his hand in front of their helmets) See?

Dr. McKay:
[deflated] Yeah, I know I was uh...

Dr. Jackson:
You were...?

Dr. McKay:
Yeah, it's not important.
