Author's notes: Happy birthday, Cazz, supreme Icon Queen! I hope your day is full of awesome blessings and I hope you have a totally kickin' time on your trip!

Ronon: Woolsey told me I would find you here.
Sheppard: Big mouth.

What are you doing back on earth?

Don't you watch the news? We're in a global recession. I had to get a second job as a real estate agent to make ends meet.

What?

It's embarrassing to talk about, but I overextended myself with credit. Now I might lose my place.

Ronon:Let me get this straight. You came back to earth because you needed money.
Sheppard: Yeah, that sounds about right.

So, were you interested in looking at the property? The owners have made a lot of upgrades: granite countertops, stainless steel appliances...

Sheppard, you do remember that there is no rent on Atlantis, right?

McKay said the IOA was going to start charging rent too offset some of the cost of running the expedition.

You know, there's a word for people like you...sucker.

That's it, McKay is going down.
