WHY RODNE¨Y McKAY REFUSES TO SET FOOT ON PX1-124 EVER AGAIN by TO BE REVEALED
"How you doing there, Rodney?"
"I hate this planet."
"I know you do, buddy."
"I hate the woods, Sheppard. I hate the unmarked paths. I hate tripping over the stupid tree roots."
"Yeah."
"Oh, hey, and you know what? The sucking mud holes. Did I happen to mention the sucking mud holes? I really - ugh - hate the mud holes."
"Dunno, McKay, this one seems to like you."
"Yes, thank you, Ronon. Because jokes are really what I need right now. Not, oh I don’t know, getting the hell out of here!"
"Crap! Rodney, stopstopstop. You thrash around like that and you’re going to sink faster."
"I can’t - this is - "
"Easy, buddy. C’mon, you’re all right."
"I am in no way all right!"
"You are. You’re all right. Just breathe, okay? In. Out. That’s it. Take it easy and breathe. You’re okay."
"I’m. . . okay."
"You’re okay."
"I’m… okay."
"Sorry, McKay. Bad joke. "
"Just hate… this."
"Not much longer, buddy. Teyla will be back soon."
"With the salt. . . stuff?"
"Yeah, with the salt stuff they use to dry up the mud holes around here. Then we can pull you out, no problem"
"Natives… hated us… though. Said we…"
"But they love Teyla. They’ll give her whatever she wants."
"God, I hope. . . I hope. . so."
"Mud’s past his chest now. It’s taking him faster, Sheppard."
"I can. . . hear you… you know"
"Hey, Rodney, let’s try something, okay? Lean back, relax your body and kinda float on your back."
"I. . . no."
"No? Why not?"
"Can’t.…float. Always. . . sink."
"You’re not going to sink. Not if you relax."
"Wanna….bet?"
"Rodney, listen, this stuff is squeezing your chest now. You’re having trouble getting enough air, that’s why you can’t catch your breath. You need to take some of the pressure off. Floating will do that."
"I… dammit."
"What?"
"You’re…right."
"Wait, what was that?"
"You’re… oh… shut up."
"C’mon, on your back. I’ll gloat about being right later."
"You…jerk."
"There you go. Head back."
"I - "
"Relax. Let your arms and legs go."
"That’s… hey. Hey, floating."
"How’re you doing? Easier to breathe?"
"Yeah, better. Not perfect. But… better."
"Sheppard, you sure we shouldn’t try to pull him out again?"
"It only made things worse. The damn sinkhole just tightens its grip."
"Better access the way he is now."
"I don’t want to risk it. If he sinks even another inch we’ll lose him."
"Floating, not deaf here."
"We’ll give Teyla another few - "
"I am here. I have it."
"Oh, thank god, Teyla! Get me out. Please. Now. Now’s good."
"Here, take handfuls of salt from the sack and throw it around Rodney. It will harden the mud at once."
"Gah! ‘Around Rodney’ she said. Not at me - "
"Rodney, stop! Shit. Grab him."
"Ronon - "
"Got him. Uck."
"I…."
"Where is the first aid kit? He will need -"
"I…."
"How you doing, buddy?"
"I…hate this planet."
