like that scene most in Vegas. The chemistry between Joe & David is incredible :)
'McKay: If you fail to cooperate, I have the power to ruin your life. Sheppard: Well you don't realize how little I have to lose. McKay: I know everything about you. You've never been married, the only thing you own is a car, you have 2,363 dollars in the bank, and are 13,000 dollars in debt. Not counting off-the-books gambling losses to a guy named Mikey. What else? You finally passed your detective exam after four years and two failed attempts. And now barely scrape by on quarterly performance reviews. Occasionally you solve a case. But, unfortunately, the charges don’t always stick due to the means in which the evidence was collected. You don’t have a partner because no one can stand working with you. Am I getting this right? Sheppard: I also like Spearmint gum. McKay: Have some. Sheppard: I was joking. McKay: No you weren't. Let's go back further shall we? You were a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, but were dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders and trying to rescue a field medic trapped behind enemy lines. You were shot down, obviously survived, but unfortunately the crash killed four American soldiers along with eight civilians. You avoided jail time, the report was sealed, for various political reasons. These things happen, right? Somehow you've managed to live with yourself since then, but I'm not sure other people would if they knew the truth. Sheppard: I don't really care. McKay: Yeah, that's too bad….You know; I once met another version of you. He was very different. Sheppard: What? McKay: Nothing is what you think it is. Sheppard: It really doesn't come as a surprise to me. McKay: Look ... We're not bad guys. We just wanna keep the planet safe. Sheppard: I doubt that very much. McKay: I don't expect you'll believe me at first. I'm about to tell you some incredible things: wormhole travel through a device called a Stargate; ancient races of humans on other planets; other dimensions in space and time; even infinite variations of our own known reality where alternate versions of you and I play out events in ways you can't possibly imagine. Sheppard: Space aliens?'
