"Your point is?" McKay asked, obviously irritated.

"We don't have a lot of time here, McKay!" John took a deep breath, exhaled then add, "You keep saying you're a genius, prove it."

"Even a genius can't fix everything."

"That's not what you said before." John was getting irritated. McKay's "nobody-can-fix-it-but-me" attitude, especially paired with his "I'm-going-to-play-it-up-like-it-can't-be-done-until-the-last-possible-second" act was really starting to wear on his nerves.

"We're talking about a, I don't know how old, Ancient ship here. It's complicated stuff here!"

"You keep saying that. Just fix it." Sometimes, John really wished he'd flipped that coin just one more time.
