(from internet transcript)
Dr. Rodney McKAY: By design.
(Radek sighs.)
Dr. Radek ZELENKA: There's no design here, Rodney – just meaningless data.
McKAY: But my instincts tell me that's because they're running an advanced masking programme, to fool us. They're good – I'm better.
ZELENKA: Who's "they", Rodney?
McKAY: Just do me a favour. Re-launch your decryp sweep.
(Radek looks at him as if to ask, "What's the point?")
McKAY: Humour me.
(Radek rolls his eyes but starts to type.)
ZELENKA: Fine.
(Rodney's screen beeps as the programme starts to run again.)
ZELENKA: You realise we don't have to stand around here waiting for the results. It could take hours. Why don't we go back to the Gate?
McKAY (looking at his screen): Hang on.
(The text on his screen starts to alter slowly.)
McKAY: It's working. I'm getting something.
(Radek starts to type again.)
McKAY: Hey, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-don't touch anything!
(Radek stops typing. Rodney watches as the text on his screen continues changing. The text disappears briefly, then some different text scrolls briefly down the screen, then suddenly everything disappears.)
McKAY: Oh! Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. What happened? (He looks at Radek.) What did you do?
ZELENKA: Nothing!
McKAY: I told you not to touch anything!
ZELENKA: I didn't touch anything! The diagnostic programme must have crashed.
McKAY: You lost all the data!
ZELENKA: What did you see, Rodney?
McKAY: Nanite code. It's the Replicators.

[ the tv-series episode begins ]
ATLANTIS. In the Control Room, Rodney McKay and Radek Zelenka are sitting at two separate consoles looking at their laptops.
McKAY (typing): Initiating secondary diagnostics ... now.
ZELENKA (after a couple of seconds): No variances.
McKAY: Huh. Are you sure?
ZELENKA: Yeah, positive.
McKAY: Well, check again.
ZELENKA: Rodney, there's nothing here.
(Rodney stands up and starts walking over to Radek's console.)
McKAY: OK, just get over here and monitor power readings.
(Sighing, Radek stands up and Rodney takes his seat. Radek takes Rodney's former seat. Rodney looks at Radek's laptop, which is showing a schematic of the Stargate.)
McKAY: Huh! No variances.
(Radek shrugs in an "I told you so!" sort of way.)
McKAY: You catching any discrepancies on your end?
ZELENKA: Nothing.
McKAY: You sure?
ZELENKA: Rodney!
McKAY (standing up): OK, just go back, go back, go back, go back, go back, go back, go back.
(They swap seats again. John Sheppard walks into the room.)
SHEPPARD: All right. Do we know what the problem is?
McKAY: Yeah. The Gate's not working.
SHEPPARD: I think we figured that much last week when you broke it.
McKAY: I did not break the Gate.
SHEPPARD: It just happened to stop working around the same time you were screwing around with it.
McKAY: I wasn't screwing around with it! I was running a streamlining programme designed to boost its operating efficiency.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, well, good job(!)
McKAY: It had nothing to do with why the Gate malfunctioned! Look, we've been able to eliminate a number of possible reasons, including my streamlining programme, and I feel confident that we're making some progress and that things will be up and running in ...
(Just then there is the sound of a distant impact somewhere in the city.)
McKAY: What was that?
(A technician answers as her screen shows a red dot on the edge of the main city.)
TECHNICIAN: An unidentified object just struck the city.
McKAY: Well, why didn't the sensors pick it up?
TECHNICIAN: I don't know. It came in so fast.
(Rodney looks at the screens.)
McKAY: I'm getting a low-level energy signature.
ZELENKA: What could it be?
SHEPPARD: Let's find out.
At the edge of the city, a two-tiered room has a large hole in the roof. On the floor lies a cylindrical object, surrounded by debris from the roof. The room has some sofas and armchairs in it, and there are a few bookshelves around the walls. As soldiers stand guard, a scientist is squatting by the object and running a scanner over it. John, Rodney and Radek come in. John turns to one of the soldiers.
SHEPPARD: Any injuries?
SOLDIER: No, sir.

Checkers speech
From Wikipedia
The Checkers speech or Fund speech was an address made on September 23, 1952, by Senator Richard Nixon (R-CA), six weeks before the 1952 United States presidential election, in which he was the Republican nominee for Vice President. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. His place was in doubt on the Republican ticket, so he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee (RNC) to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket. During the speech, he stated that he intended to keep one gift, regardless of the outcome: a black-and-white Cocker Spaniel that his children had named Checkers, thus giving the address its popular name.

CORRIDOR. As John walks along, Rodney runs to join him.
McKAY: It's the Replicators. They've found us.
SHEPPARD: Are you sure?
McKAY: The drone we recovered contained nanites.
(Radek catches them up.)
ZELENKA: You cannot be certain of that, Rodney. (To John) The programme went down before we had a chance to retrieve any significant data.
McKAY: I know what I saw. It was nanite code a split second before the system crashed.
ZELENKA (to John): I saw nothing.
McKAY: That's because you weren't looking.
ZELENKA: Our laptops were retrieving the same data stream, Rodney. If there had been anything, I would have seen it.
McKAY: Well, obviously you didn't, otherwise we wouldn't be having this dis...
(Just then there is the sound of a distant explosion somewhere in the city.)
McKAY: Another one!
LORNE (over radio): Colonel Sheppard. Major Lorne here.
SHEPPARD: Go ahead, Major.
LORNE: There's been an explosion in Doctor McKay's lab. I suggest you get down here.
RODNEY'S LAB. The place is a burnt-out mess and smoke is rising from the table which held the probe and the computers. Rodney, Radek and John come in to join Lorne and his team.
McKAY: What the ...?! What happened?
(John picks up a soggy mess from the table.)
SHEPPARD: Well, either your sandwich exploded or that mystery drone had a built-in self-destruct protocol.
ZELENKA: We must have inadvertently initiated it when we ran our analysis.
LORNE: Sorry, Doc. At least you weren't around when it went off.
McKAY: Lucky us(!)
LATER. John and Rodney are walking through the city.
McKAY (quietly): Something's not right. (He waits for a couple of scientists to walk past, then continues.) That diagnostic programme should never have crashed. It's perfectly capable of handling any of the data coming from the probe. And then before we get a chance to get it up and running again, what happens? The probe gets destroyed.
SHEPPARD: What are you talking about?
McKAY (sighing): I don't know. I just ... it feels like someone or something is working very hard to get in my way. And yes, I know what that sounds like. Just do me a favour: keep an eye out, OK?
SHEPPARD: Mmm.
(As Rodney walks away, John frowns around the city suspiciously.)
GYM. John is sparring with Ronon Dex. They trade blows for a while, then stop moving as John blocks Ronon's attack.
DEX: Think he's imagining it?
(He pushes John backwards and wanders away a little.)
SHEPPARD: Maybe he needs a vacation.
(Ronon rushes in again and they trade a few more blows before Ronon gets behind John and smacks him hard across the back with his stick. John grunts in pain.)
SHEPPARD: I guess you disagree, huh?
DEX: Uh, I don't know. Just seems like people are acting different lately.
SHEPPARD: Different?
DEX: I don't know how to explain it. They just, uh, haven't been themselves.

DEX: I don't believe it.
McKAY: I know it's tough to swallow. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it myself, but it would explain a couple of things.
SHEPPARD: Such as?
McKAY: Such as why the Gate's not working, for one. Look, if none of this is real, if this is all just a lab rat experiment, then it stands to reason the Gate's not real either.
TEYLA: If this is not the real Atlantis, Rodney, you of all people would have noticed. The stars alone ...
McKAY (interrupting): The whole time the Gate's been down, it has been solid overcast. That's over a week now. Think about it: when was the last time any of you saw stars?
(Everyone looks at each other as the truth begins to sink in.)
Checkers speech
From Wikipedia
Family finances, coat and dog
Nixon, continuing to ask skeptical rhetorical questions, indicated that some might feel that even with the opinions, he might have found some way to personally benefit. In response to his own question, he detailed his background and financial situation, beginning with his birth in Yorba Linda, and the family grocery store in which the Nixon boys helped out. He alluded to his work in college and law school, his service record, and stated that at the end of the war, he and Pat Nixon had $10,000 in savings, all of it patriotically in government bonds. He gave the dollar amounts of small inheritances that the Nixons had received from relatives, before turning to their life in Washington:
We lived rather modestly. For four years we lived in an apartment in Parkfairfax, in Alexandria, Virginia. The rent was $80 a month. And we saved for the time that we could buy a house. Now, that was what we took in. What did we do with this money? What do we have today to show for it? This will surprise you, because it is so little, I suppose, as standards generally go, of people in public life.
As Nixon discussed their finances, the telecast again showed Pat Nixon, fixedly watching her husband. Pat Nixon later stated that her rapt gaze was because she did not know exactly what he would say, and wanted to hear. Nixon detailed their assets and liabilities: the mortgaged home in Washington; the similarly mortgaged home in California, then occupied by his parents. The loans from his parents and from Riggs Bank. The borrowed-against life insurance policy on the senator; no insurance on his wife or children. The two-year-old Oldsmobile and the family furniture, and that he and his wife owned no stocks or bonds.
Well, that's about it. That's what we have and that's what we owe. It isn't very much but Pat and I have the satisfaction that every dime that we've got is honestly ours. I should say this—that Pat doesn't have a mink coat. But she does have a respectable Republican cloth coat. And I always tell her that she'd look good in anything!
While Nixon made these points, Murray Chotiner "let out shouts of glee" in his screened booth. As Chotiner exulted, Nixon moved ahead with the lines "that would give the speech its name, make it famous, and notorious":
One other thing I probably should tell you because if we don't they'll probably be saying this about me too, we did get something—a gift—after the election. A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was?
It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate that he'd sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl—Tricia, the 6-year-old—named it Checkers. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it.

WEIR: Well, I suppose introductions aren't really necessary.
SHEPPARD: Great(!) Last time I came face to face with myself, I ended up kicking my own ass.
(Ronon walks over to face his Replicator self and they stand toe to toe and glare at each other. RepliRodney looks admiringly at Rodney's leather jacket.)
RepliMcKAY: Nice jacket!
McKAY: Uh, yeah, it's new. We got new versions of those uniforms. The old ones used to ...
RepliMcKAY and McKAY (simultaneously): ... bunch up under the arms.
McKAY: Yeah.
RepliMcKAY: Huh!
SHEPPARD (to Elizabeth): You said you've got something for us.
RepliSHEPPARD: Yeah. McKay.
(Both Rodneys look round at him.)
McKAY: Hmm?
RepliSHEPPARD: No, my McKay.
RepliMcKAY: Oh, yeah, right.
(Clicking his fingers, he walks to a different part of the tent to fetch something. The Ronons are still staring at each other, the real one smiling humourlessly. RepliRodney brings the core drive over to the group.)
TEYLA: What is that?
RepliMcKAY: This is the core drive of a Replicator ship tracking system. Once it is up and running, we'll be able to track every Aurora-class Replicator ship in the Pegasus galaxy.
RepliSHEPPARD: It's not much, but it's a start.
McKAY: Are you kidding?! This is huge! We can get working on a ...
RepliMcKAY and McKAY (simultaneously): ... modification programme ...
RepliMcKAY: ... uh, reconfigure the base sequencing ...
McKAY: ... run it through one of the Ancient relays so the information's ...
RepliMcKAY and McKAY (simultaneously): ... automatically adapted and outputted.
SHEPPARD: "Outputted"? Is that even a word?
McKAY: Of course it is!
RepliMcKAY: We can't both be wrong.
(John grimaces.)
RepliMcKAY: Look, we need to get started on this now.
RepliSHEPPARD: Whoa, whoa. Not so fast. (He looks at John.) Where do you plan on doing this? We're too big of a security risk to be allowed back on Atlantis.
SHEPPARD: He's got a ... I've got a point. (To the Rodneys) You two are gonna have to find another way to do that.
McKAY: It's not a problem. I'll just go back to Atlantis and get what we need. We can do all the work right here.
RepliMcKAY: Oh, this is great! Finally, someone in whom I can have a hundred percent confidence! I cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to working with you!
McKAY: And this is just the beginning!
(The Johns grimace at each other.)
RepliMcKAY: Humanity's about to benefit from one of the greatest living scientific minds times two!
McKAY: Can you imagine?!

From Wikipedia
"Über die von der molekularkinetischen Theorie der Wärme geforderte Bewegung von in ruhenden Flüssigkeiten suspendierten Teilchen" (English: "On the movement of small particles suspended in a stationary liquid demanded by the molecular-kinetic theory of heat") is the 1905 journal article, by Albert Einstein, that proved the reality of atoms, which were first proposed in 1808 by John Dalton. It is one of the four groundbreaking papers Einstein published in 1905, in Annalen der Physik, in his miracle year.
In 1827, botanist Robert Brown used a microscope to look at dust grains floating in water. He found that the floating grains were moving about erratically; a phenomenon that became known as "Brownian motion". This was thought to be caused by water molecules knocking the grains about. In 1905, Albert Einstein proved the reality of these molecules and their motions by producing the first statistical physics analysis of Brownian motion. French physicist Jean Perrin used Einstein's results to experimentally determine the mass, and the dimensions, of atoms, thereby conclusively verifying Dalton's atomic theory.
Before this paper, atoms were recognized as a useful concept, but physicists and chemists hotly debated whether atoms were real entities. Einstein's statistical discussion of atomic behavior gave experimentalists a way to count atoms with an ordinary microscope. Wilhelm Ostwald, one of the leaders of the anti-atom school, later told Arnold Sommerfeld that he had been converted to a belief in atoms by Einstein's complete explanation of Brownian motion.
The paper also provided the best way up to that time of estimating the Avogadro constant—the corrected value from Einstein's paper was accurate to one significant figure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom
Atom
From Wikipedia
An atom is a particle that consists of a nucleus of protons and generally neutrons, surrounded by an electromagnetically-bound swarm of electrons. The atom is the basic particle of the chemical elements, and the chemical elements are distinguished from each other by the number of protons that are in their atoms. For example, any atom that contains 11 protons is sodium, and any atom that contains 29 protons is copper.
Atom
From Wikipedia
Brownian motion
In 1827, the British botanist Robert Brown observed that dust particles inside pollen grains floating in water constantly jiggled about for no apparent reason. In 1905, Albert Einstein theorized that this Brownian motion was caused by the water molecules continuously knocking the grains about, and developed a mathematical model to describe it. This model was validated experimentally in 1908 by French physicist Jean Perrin, who used Einstein's equation to calculate the number of atoms in a mole and the size of atoms.
Discovery of the electron
In 1897, J. J. Thomson discovered that cathode rays are not electromagnetic waves but made of particles because they can be deflected by electrical and magnetic fields. He measured these particles to be 1,800 times lighter than hydrogen (the lightest atom). Thomson concluded that these particles came from the atoms within the cathode—they were subatomic particles. He called these new particles corpuscles but they were later renamed electrons. Thomson also showed that electrons were identical to particles given off by photoelectric and radioactive materials. It was quickly recognized that electrons are the particles that carry electric currents in metal wires. Thomson concluded that these electrons emerged from the very atoms of the cathode in his instruments, which meant that atoms are not indivisible as Dalton thought.

Mortal coil
From Wikipedia
"Mortal coil" is a poetic term for the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned. To "shuffle off this mortal coil" is to die, exemplified in the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Derivation
Derived from 16th-century English, "coil" refers to tumults or troubles. Used idiomatically, the phrase means "the bustle and turmoil of this mortal life". "Coil" has an unusual etymological history. It was coined repeatedly; at various times people have used it as a verb to mean "to cull", "to thrash", "to lie in rings or spirals", "to turn", "to mound hay" and "to stir". As a noun it has meant "a selection", "a spiral", "the breech of a gun", "a mound of hay", "a pen for hens", and "noisy disturbance, fuss, ado". It is in this last sense, which became popular in the 16th century, that Shakespeare used the word.

The scar on my right wrist isn't the burn I recieved from someone dropping hot apple pie on it when I was a kid in a day care center, rather...I'm not really sure what it is.

Drucker: Do you actually remember changing places with your friend? You know, the salesman at the retail shop thought it was odd that you came in twice. Asked the same questions, twice.

Drucker: Your shaving cut? Easily reproduced. So is the scar from your war wound.

BRIG.
SHEPPARD: All right, I know this is a lot for everyone to deal with, but we're just gonna have to ... suck it up and re-focus.
McKAY: Re-focus on what?
DEX: Getting the hell out of here.
McKAY: So we can go where?

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

This sounds very interesting. In my memory of taking Physics my Senior year at Ashdown, I remember being very interested in the class, but we didn’t cover such an interesting topic.

I think I even have memories of the graduate degree process. I am not sure of the terms to describe the process.

I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

Dr. Elizabeth WEIR: If this city falls and we're destroyed with it, this will be nothing more than a wasted opportunity – a failed experiment. You know what that feels like.
KELLER: That's what the Ancients considered us – failed experiments.
SHEPPARD: Well, now's your chance to prove ‘em wrong.
WEIR: All we are asking is that you give us a chance to make a difference.

"Unwell"
(from internet transcript)
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
I'm talking to myself in public
and dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
