Weir: We're still months away from producing successful crops on the mainland. And we're heading towards a food shortage.
McKay: I know, it's getting desperate. I'm almost out of coffee.
Sheppard: Well, maybe you should stop drinking eleven cups a day.
McKay: I'm just making sure I get my fair share before it's all gone.
Ford: Sounds fair.

McKay: Maybe we should offer a sense of humor in trade.
Sheppard: Sure. They can have yours.
McKay: *fake laughs* Oh please, my side, you slay me.

Cowen: Teyla, thank you for bringing us these new trading partners. Please, stay as our guests. There will be a harvest ceremony later.
Teyla: Wonderful.
Sheppard: Ford?
Ford: Sir.
Sheppard: We're talkin' harvest ceremony.
Ford: Sounds like fun, sir.

Weir: Explosives? This is a scientific expedition, Major.
Sheppard: I know that.
Weir: But you want us to become arms dealers.
Sheppard: Have you ever tried to clear a stump by hand?
Weir: Yes, it's a hobby.

McKay: You have no idea which way to go, do you?
Sheppard: I'm just trying to get my bearings.
McKay: Translation: I'm lost. They were very clear which route to take.
Sheppard: I prefer a straight line.
McKay: Of course, 'cause everything's a shortcut in Sheppard's world.

Sheppard: Look, what you people do with your C4 is none of our business. We just need food. As far as your little secret down here goes, well, uh...
McKay: We say, 'What giant underground bunker?'

Cowen: We give thanks to our new friends.
Everyone: We give thanks.
Cowen: Please, eat.
McKay: You don't think there's lemon in this, do you?
Ford: I'm sure it's delicious.
McKay: Have you seen someone in anaphylactic shock?
Ford: Eat.

Weir: No. How's that for an answer?
Sheppard: It's pithy. I'll give you that.
Weir: I'm sure you already agreed to this.
Sheppard: Only because we'll get something out of it.
Ford: We do need allies, ma'am.
Weir: Allies? You just said these people were ready to string you up. How can you trust them?
Sheppard: Hey, I don't trust 'em as far as I can throw 'em. There's a reason they insisted that McKay and Teyla stay there, and it's not just help them with their bomb. But we have something they need, and they have something we need. I thought that's what negotiating was all about.
Weir: Oh, well, it is. Personally I stop short of offering nuclear weapons.
Ford: They were building them anyways.
Weir: Oh, if they were building them anyways, Lieutenant, why didn't you just say so? You realize I originally sent you out for food?
Sheppard: I think we can still get that.
Ford: I don't see why not.
Sheppard: We kinda passed it with the whole atomic bomb thing.

Cowen: You do not want to make an enemy of the Genii.
Sheppard: Know what? Same here.

Weir: I'm sorry you weren't able to find the allies you were looking for, John.
Sheppard: Well, we gathered some valuable intel. That's something.
Weir: Huh. Are you trying to convince me this is good news?
Sheppard: I'd much prefer to know what we're up against than not.
Weir: 60 ships. Or more.
Sheppard: Just hope they don't all come at once.
