"It appears to be a computer..."
"Yes, yes, I can see that. The questions is, however, how the hell does it exist?"
"Perhaps we should ask it?"
"The monkey didn't get you too, did it? Because you're starting to sound as crazy as those voodoo wizard guys."
"Quiet, Rodney. I am typing."
"Oh, for the love of... huh. Is that Czech?"
"Yes. How curious. My question was phrased in English."
"So it has a translator, big deal. What's it say?"
"Out of cheese error, redo from start."
"What? Gimme that, you're translating it wrong."
"There is nothing wrong with my translation. It is an error message."
"What kind of crazy voodoo machine needs cheese to function?"
"Rodney, we have already extrapolated that this planet frequently does not obey the laws of physics."
"Don't tell me you actually believed all that crap about magic?"
"I am not saying that what these people believe to be magic is actually magic, but we should not dismiss the possibility-"

"Why is there a teddy bear-"
"Dammit!"
"What?"
"It's giving me the same message. Stand back a sec."

"But these are-"
"Any idiot could see that."
"But that means-"
"Yes, but how are we going to-"
"Here, this page shows-"
"Of course, why didn't I think of-"
"Gentlemen?"
"Hello Dr Weir."
"We're kind of busy here, Elizabeth."
"Busy with what, exactly?"
"We think we have found-"
"She asked me, not you."
"She asked both of us."
"Ook."
"Who brought that damn monkey in here?"
"Rodney, remember what happened last time..."
"Fine. I'm sorry."
"Ook."
"Rodney? You think you've found what?"
"Right, the calculations. Alternate power source, more efficient than a ZPM-"
"And will not destroy a solar system."
"Five sixths of a solar system. And that wasn't my-"
"Ook."
"I think you're right. Let's leave them to it."
I also did this and I'm only posting it because of who secretly wants to marry me themself:
