I couldn't let this challenge pass without making an Atlantis picspam, there are five season's worth of fantastic scenes and I had to make at least one to feel like a good fan. I've chosen this one because I love Mckay so much and this is a McKay episode, wich means it's an amazing episode and it's very very funny. It also shows that David Hewlett is one of the best actors in TV ever!! I miss him and his McKay so much, there should have been at least 10 more seasons of Atlantis!!
Beckett: Rodney.
McKay: What are you doing here?
Beckett: You invited me!
McKay (realising how that must have happened): Oh, I did, did I? Yes?
Katie: Please, sit.
(The three of them sit down. Rodney's and Katie's plates already have a salad on them. Katie starts dishing the remaining salad from a bowl in the middle of the table onto Carson's plate. Rodney shovels a forkful of salad into his mouth.)
Cadman's voice: Don't start eating, you idiot! Make a toast first!
McKay(quietly): Yes, yes, yes! (The other two look at him. He picks up his wine glass and holds it towards Katie.) A toast - to you. (Katie and Carson also lift their glasses.) We've been working together for ... some time now, a short time, but, um, in that time I've ... often found our interchanges very, um ... um ... (Katie glances nervously at Carson, who looks as if he would be happy if the floor opened up and swallowed him.) What I mean to say is that, um, you're very funny, and smart, (Katie smiles) and, uh ... from what I can tell, you ... make a delicious salad. (Katie giggles, but she's flattered.) So, to you.
Beckett: Yes, cheers! (He laughs nervously as they all clink glasses and then drink.)
Cadman's voice: Very good! That wasn't so bad. She's obviously into you, so at least we have that working for us. Now, I was thinking that we m.... (She stops as Rodney keeps drinking.) Wait, McKay.
McKay. Stop drinking the wine. You're gonna get drunk. (Rodney keeps drinking as Katie and Carson look on in concern. Laura gasps.) Actually, wait, yes! You need that to loosen up a bit.
Finish it off! (Rodney drains the glass.) Good boy! Yeah!
(Katie and Carson start to eat but Rodney seems lost in thought.)
CADMAN's VOICE: Say something, McKay! C'mon, say something that'll start a conversation.
McKay (to Katie): So, um, do you, uh ... um ... (He wracks his brain for several seconds.)
Katie: Yes?
McKay: Forgot what I was gonna say. (He thinks.) What was it?
McKat: Um ... (He seems lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly rises to his feet and puts one hand on his hip.) OK, this is ridiculous. (He looks at Katie for a moment, then walks around the table and takes her hand.) Katie, I *really* like you. In fact, the past few months here have been made more liveable thanks to you. (Katie gazes up at him adoringly, then glances briefly at Carson, whose face is a picture of startled shock.) I wanted tonight to be special, but for reasons I can't go into now, I gotta leave.
(Katie's face falls and she stands up.)
KATIE: I'm sorry to hear that.
McKay: But I don't want you to be insulted or to wonder whether or not I am interested in you. (He steps closer to her.) Because I am ... (he steps closer) I am very (he steps even closer) *very* interested. (He wraps one arm around her shoulders and the other around her waist, bends her backwards and kisses her deeply for several seconds before straightening up and breaking the kiss. He smiles at her.) See you soon. (With one arm still around her, he turns to look at Carson and gazes at him for a moment, then reaches out with his free hand and puts it on the side of Carson's face. He gazes at him a moment longer, then makes an appreciative sound and walks out of the room.)
McKAY: Give me back my body! We have to go back. (As Laura, as his walk changes to a more bouncy step) And do what? I bet that is the most honest you've ever been with a girl and it wasn't even you! (He struggles to walk as Rodney tries to take over.) (As Rodney) Why are you doing this? (As Laura, as he stops walking) We're just trying to do too much too fast, McKay. (As Rodney) We should, we should go back. (As Laura, putting his hand on his hip) Nope! (As Rodney)
Alright - rock, paper, scissors. I'm the left hand, you're the right. (Laura doesn't answer immediately.) Cadman! (As Laura)
Fine. (He holds his fists out in front of him and jerks them three times before opening them. The left hand is rock; the right hand is paper.) (As Laura) Yay! Paper beats rock - we leave. (His right hand points in the direction they should go, but then struggles as Rodney tries to pull it back.) (As Rodney) No, we ... (His right hand snaps back and slaps him around the face.) Ow! (As Laura) Get a hold of yourself, man! (He walks off, in a direction away from Katie's quarters.)
Hope you liked it, it was fun rewatching this episode, and of course it's better seeing it on video than on pics, but I find watching McKay's facial expresions in pictures very enjoyable to :)
