Yep, Season 3 is definitely my favorite season.
Branton (to Weir): “Look, I like you, and I’m extremely charming. I’d like to see you spin those into negatives.”
Beckett (going fishing): “Care to join us? Sport of kings.”
Sheppard: “I thought horse racing was the sport of kings.”
Beckett: “For the boring kings, maybe.”
Sheppard: “Are you dating anyone?”
Ronon: “You mean like a woman?”
Sheppard: “Or a man?”
McKay: “Look, my four-year-old niece could figure out to turn something off when it was emitting radiation; that does not make you smart, that just makes you a little less stupid!”
(McKay wants to go out to lunch)
Katie Brown: “I can’t, I have to babysit the ferns.”
McKay: “Right, well, if I had a nickel for every time a girl used that line.”
Katie Brown: “Rodney, you want to babysit ferns with me?”
McKay: “Hey, in the battle between ferns and fish, ferns continuously win a decisive victory.”
Katie Brown: “Rodney, I think I know you pretty well. There’s not a lot of subtext with you.”
McKay: “Well, long story short, it creates explosive tumors.”
Ronon: “Explosive tumors?”
Sheppard: “What?”
Ronon: “Are you kidding me?”
McKay: “I said I knew its last known location. It is a *mobile* drilling station, remember?”
Ronon: “If we don’t find it soon, this is going to be *your* last known location.”
McKay: “Oh, zing!”
Sheppard: “Okay, kids, do I have to pull this thing over?”
(they hear gunfire)
Sheppard: “Nine mil. This way.”
McKay: “Oh, yes, let’s run *toward* the gunfire.”
Sheppard: “Our prisoner isn’t talking, other than, ‘You’re all about to die.’”
Weir: “Which may or may not be an empty threat.”
Sheppard: “Just think about it as a walk on the beach. A beach that’s about to explode.”
(teaching McKay how to fight)
Ronon: “You’re getting better.”
McKay: “Really?”
Ronon: “No.”
Weir: “We lost contact with the Taranans.”
Ronon: “The volcano people?”
Sheppard: “Super-volcano people.”
McKay: “What happened to them?”
Weir: “Well, we don’t know.”
Sheppard: “Seeing how we lost contact with them.”
Sheppard: “If they wanted to create more Wraith, wouldn’t be easier to get a male and female to, you know, get a room?”
McKay: “We don’t know that much about Wraith reproductive methods.”
Sheppard: “I don’t wanna be around to watch that film.”
McKay (about Michael): “It’s amazing how much work he was able to get done in so short a time! He’s quite the industrious little fellow. Or Wraith, or whatever.”
McKay: “You’d think that the human side of him would temper his aggression a bit.”
Teyla: “Yes, because we humans aren’t aggressive at all.”
McKay: “Well, certainly less aggressive than that-Oh, sarcasm. Yeah, nice.”
McKay: “I am detecting a ton of lifesigns near you.”
Sheppard: “Well, define ‘ton’ and define ‘near.’”
Sheppard: “No offense, but I was kind of hoping never to see you again.”
Michael: “I was hoping just the opposite.”
Sheppard: “Well then. You’ve seen me.”
Sheppard: “Just so we’re clear, I have no problem killing you.”
Michael: “And I have no problem with dying.”
Weir: “Hey, John, wait a minute. You’ve just given everyone ‘Excellent’ and ‘Above Averages’.”
McKay: “Oh, can I do that?”
Weir: “No. Look, I know this is not the most glamorous part of your job, but you are in leadership positions, and, unfortunately, that comes with administrative responsibilities.”
Sheppard: “Well, everybody who works for me is excellent and above average. You want me to lie? Cause I don’t think leaders should lie, Elizabeth.”
Weir: “So we can assume the Replicators are behind this.”
McKay: “I hope so.”
Weir: “You hope so?”
McKay: “Otherwise, we’ve discovered yet another super-powerful enemy.”
Sheppard (to McKay and Zelenka): “Shouldn’t you guys be bickering or something?”
McKay: “I got nothing to bicker about. He’s run out of bad ideas, finally.”
Sheppard: “This one, you just have to sit down and think, ‘Fly!’”
