Robert Carlyle: Dr. Nicholas Rush

Quotes 

• Dr. Daniel Jackson : Professor Rush? Professor Rush... Hi, I'm Dr. Daniel Jackson.

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : So you are.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : I'm sorry to accost you here. I dropped by your office and they told me that you hadn't come in for the day.

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : Do you know, I really don't have time for this.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Actually I think you're going to want to hear what I have to say. Is there someplace more private where we could talk?

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : You're going to tell me about the stargate program. Your current dilemma - how to unlock the stargate's ninth and final chevron. Specifically, how much energy will be required.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : How do you know that? Those details are highly classified.

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : The project hasn't even been named yet, has it? How about 'Icarus'? I know because it's already happened, and you're just a figment of my imagination. Reliving all of this is just a necessary evil, an unfortunate side-effect to a process I can't control, and it keeps getting in the bloody way of what I need to do. You, the university, the clouds in the sky, all just a dream, a distant memory, and one I'd really rather went away.

• Gloria Rush : I've spent most of the last twenty years watching what I ate, denying myself the things I most love. And now, I could eat anything I want and nothing seems appealing.

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : [Briefly looking up from notebook]  Yeah.

  Gloria Rush : Why are you here, Nick?

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : Because this is what happened.

  Gloria Rush : You have work to do; go do it.

  Dr. Nicholas Rush : I am doing it. It doesn't seem to matter where I am.

  Gloria Rush : You have the chance to change so many things. The one thing you can't change is what's happening to me. Don't let that hold you back.

  [Rush closes his notebook, stands and take's Gloria's hand] 

  Gloria Rush : When the time comes I know you'll be there.
