All McKay, all the time
SGA 2x14: Grace Under Pressure
OMG what a great episode and it's all McKay! Okay, maybe not all, but certainly most. I was a little unsure if David Hewlett would be able to hold an entire episode talking to himself, but sure enough, he can. I can't imagine the sheer number of pages the writers had to come up with in order tomake sure McKay kept talking for the entire episode.
The premise of this whole episode is that McKay has a concussion and is stuck in a jumper that is quick falling to the bottom of the ocean. Sheppard and Zelenka fix a jumper to go and rescue him.
I've watched this one several times and it still cracks me up. Some GREAT McKay lines.
Favorite lines:
McKay: Been a bad day.
Carter: You're gonna get out of this.
McKay: I don't think I would even believe that if you were naked.
Zelenka (cursing in Czech): Do prdele, to je na hovno tohle to. Kdo to vymyslel, že budeme pod vodou, tentokrát...?
Sheppard: I think my Czech's getting better, 'cause I know what you mean.
Carter: Y'know, I was thinking about what you said. I think you were right.
McKay: Uh, I am? Right about what?
Carter: Well, I am your fantasy. It's only fair you should get some.
McKay: You're the worst hallucination ever!
Carter: Oh, you don't mean that!
McKay (to Sam): Ah, c'mon! You're a figment of my imagination! The least you could do is take your top off!
Zelenka: All I'm getting is sporadic life sign readings.
Sheppard: As in... sea monster life signs?
Carter: This isn't good.
McKay: Look, just, just ... just shut up! I mean, you come in here, you don't help me, you say the one plan I've got is bad, you, you claim to be a creation of my mind and yet you are in no way dressed provocatively...
McKay: Don't play mind games with me.
Carter: I am a mind game.
McKay: You gonna help me, or not?
Carter: I'll help you stay alive as long as possible, but no – I'm not helping you with this plan.
McKay: So my own hallucination is saying no to me?!
Carter: You must realize subconsciously that you need to be talked out of this.
McKay: I can't even hallucinate right today!
Carter: They'll find a way.
McKay: No they won't! You and I both know the one person who can figure it all out is stuck in the back of a sinking Jumper!
Carter: Me.
McKay: Oh, touché!
Zelenka (after hearing that he has to join Sheppard in submerging Jumper): I, I ... I can't even swim!
Sheppard: There's not a lot of swimming under a thousand feet of ocean.
Carter: Why else would I be here?
McKay: I don't know! Maybe one last romp before I die.
Carter: One last romp?! Please, we never ...
McKay: Okay, one first romp, but it's romping that comes to mind, not your brains, blondie. Now, you've gotta admit, I am a handsome man standing ...
Carter: You're essentially arguing with yourself. You realize that, right?
McKay: You are very clever. I will even give you brilliant; but there is brilliant, and then there's me.
Griffin: So, let me ask you something. As a scientist, does it bother you that most of your work, no matter how brilliant, will eventually be considered misguided? ‘Cause that would bother me.
McKay: I’m sorry?
Griffin: Well, given enough time, everything’s pretty much proven wrong, right
McKay: No.
Griffin: Everything from the Earth being flat, to the sun revolving around us.
McKay: Well, if you wanna go back hundreds of years!
Griffin: Scientists get it wrong more times than they get it right. Take the tomato.
Griffin: So I wonder what it is that makes Spaniards so good at debunking bad science? You’re not Spanish, are you?
McKay:Oh, yes! Of the Barcelona McKays! Now, if you don’t mind...
McKay: Wide open fields. Wide open fields. Wide open fields. You’re not stuck in a metal casket under thousands of feet of water. You’re in a wide open fields.
McKay: Okay, alright, I’ve gotta stop sinking. …. No-no-no-no-no-no. Send a message first. Yeah. … Check and see if you can get the ... radio transmitter up and running, because they can’t find you if you can’t tell them where you are. Come on, McKay, prioritize!
McKay: How much power have we got to work with here? (The screen shows, “REMAINING POWER AT LEVEL OF USE: 3:05”.) Oh, you gotta be kidding me! Three hours?! What’s eating my power? I’m working with flashlights here! ... Inertial dampeners are active? Well, why? I don’t need them! Shut down inertial dampeners. (The screen says, “ACTION NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME”.) Ah, come on! They’re draining what little power I have left here! …. You do not need inertial dampeners while you sink! You are a piece of junk! … I’m gonna die!
McKay: Oh, come on! A little heat’s gonna cost me forty minutes?! Is that really how you want this to go down, huh? You wanna freeze me to death?! You sure you wouldn’t rather I imploded with you, you, you, you lemon?! Do you even have an opinion anyways, you, you ... no. Why? Because you are an inanimate object, huh? ... Does that stop me from talking to you? Oh, no-no-no-no-no, my inanimate friend, because I have been struck upon the head, you see?!
McKay:You drive a hard bargain, my friend, but, uh, you’ve got a deal. I just made a deal with you! A deal! Let’s make a deal! You’ve got a deal! … That’s not funny.
Mckay: Look, I need to be the one on the surface saving the poor bastard stuck down here, not actually be the poor bastard stuck down here!
McKay: What am I doing? Well, I’m, uh, treating an alien whale like Lassie!

So whole ep quoted, pretty much ;)
As you said before, McKay can hold the show all on his own - lol
Yeah. I realized that, but there were SO many good lines. And besides, it was all McKay. How can you go wrong?
well a gratuitous Ronon bicep shot now and again never hurts...
You mean, like this?
http://sg-atlantis.emedian.net/images/rp/s2/g6/images/SGAJ-05-002.jpg
THUDS and falls off chair onto clean floor....
Well, at least your floor is clean. You wouldn't want to thud onto a dirty floor now would you?
and you could EAT off my bathroom floor now. Well Rodney can't b/c I think Mr Clean has citrus...
Ack!! No citrus. Can't kill McKay, although a little whumping never hurts too much...
