Stargate: Universe - "Air" - television series premiere episodes 1 & 2 of 3 - Friday 02 October 2009
Episode Summary
A research team studying the Stargate's ninth chevron is forced to flee through the gate when their secret base is attacked by an unknown enemy. They end up stranded on an Ancient ship named Destiny, billions of light years from Earth.
(from internet transcript)
FELLOW GEEK: You can't do it, dude!
WALLACE: I'm doing it!
(He types and the warrior runs on and stops at a wall covered in symbols.)
FELLOW GEEK: It's one of those programmer's jokes - a problem that can't be solved.
WALLACE: I already solved this.
FELLOW GEEK: No you didn't!
(Eli types and the warrior takes a hand-held device from his belt and starts to input on it.)
WALLACE: Just shut up and watch this!
(In the video game, the symbols fritz and disappear, then the entire screen goes white for a moment before re-setting and showing the warrior standing outside a tall elegant tower.)
WALLACE (high-pitched in indignation): What the hell?!
FELLOW GEEK: What happened?
WALLACE (high-pitched): Noth... (He takes a breath and tries to calm down.) Nothing happened. (He rolls his eyes.) I'm back at the beginning of the level.
FELLOW GEEK (smugly): You're so full of yourself.
WALLACE: No. No-no-no. It worked. The firing code locked in.
FELLOW GEEK: Whatever.
(He takes his headset off and shuts down the connection. Exasperated, Eli takes his own headset off.)
WALLACE: That was extremely unsatisfying.
LATER. General Jack O'Neill, wearing military dress blues and sunshades, knocks at the door of Eli's house. Eli opens the door and stares at him in surprise.
O'NEILL: Eli Wallace?
WALLACE (nervously): Actually, uh, Eli's not here right now. He ...
(Ignoring him, O'Neill turns to the car parked at the kerb and beckons.)
WALLACE: OK, OK. Whatever you guys think that I did, I swear you've got the wrong guy.
(Doctor Rush gets out of the car and walks towards the house. O'Neill turns back to Eli.)
O'NEILL: Do I look like someone who'd be standing here if I didn't already know everything there is to know about you?
WALLACE: No, not really.
O'NEILL: Right.
(He steps aside as Rush joins him.)
WALLACE: Who are you?
RUSH: Doctor Nicholas Rush. May we come in?
WALLACE: Why?
RUSH: You spent a great deal of time recently playing an online fantasy game called Prometheus.
(Eli laughs.)
WALLACE: Big Brother's got nothing better to do?!
RUSH: Last night, you solved the Dakara weapons puzzle.
WALLACE: Yeah. A month of my life went into that! D'you know what happens when you solve that thing? Nothing!
O'NEILL: We're here. That happened.
Black Hawk Down (2001)
You have to slow down. There's a delay. From the time directions are relayed from surveillance to JOC, then to me.
Colonel McKnight: We can't slow down! We're taking heavy enemy fire! We can't slow down!
Danny, I'm getting information from Orion surveillance above.
So get me my fucking directions to the crash site!
Danny, hold on. I no longer have the best view of your route.
Get your ass in the right place, goddamn it!

Quotes
[after the briefing]
Matthews: What's the matter Danny? Something you don't like?
McKnight: No Spectre gunships, daylight instead of night, late afternoon when they're all fucked up on Khat, only part of the city Aidid can mount a serious counter-attack on short notice...
[chuckles]
McKnight: What's not to like?
Harell: Life's imperfect.
McKnight: Yeah, for you two, circling above it at five hundred feet it's imperfect. Down in the street, it's unforgiving.

Get in that truck and drive.
But I'm shot, Colonel.
Everybody's shot.
