SHEPPARD: Eight hundred and four years.
McKAY: What?
SHEPPARD: That's how long it will take us to come get you by Puddlejumper.
McKAY (sarcastically): But you would do that, right?
SHEPPARD (insincerely): Of course we would.
I love this exchange for three reasons: one, it's completely absurd; two, Rodney plays along with it anyway; three, even though John's jerking Rodney's chain, his tone of voice is ridiculously fond.
Oh, and the look in John's eyes. Guh!
