MCKAY: “Look, I never meant for anyone to get hurt, much less you.”
CARTER: “It’s ok we had to try something.”
MCKAY: “…I always wanted to be a pianist.”
CARTER: “Excuse me?”
MCKAY: “A concert pianist, a guy who plays piano in front of lots of people.”
CARTER: “Right.”
MCKAY: “What’d you think I said?”
CARTER: “Never mind.”
MCKAY: “…I had a not-so-comfortable childhood. My parents hated each other and blamed me. Music was my salvation. It had this perfect order for me.”
CARTER: “That’s nice. Really.”
MCKAY: “When I was twelve, my teacher told me to quit. ‘A fine clinical player’, he said, but no sense of the art whatsoever.”
CARTER: “Why are you telling me this?”
MCKAY: “I’m just trying to bond.”
CARTER: “Why?”
MCKAY: “Hospital gowns turn me on…I turned to science because I thought it would be different than music, but it isn’t, it’s just the same. It’s just as much of an art as anything else.”
CARTER: “Look, it’s not your fault that the EM pulse didn’t work.”
MCKAY: “You’re an artist, Major, maybe the best I’ve ever seen. I’m just critical because I’m jealous.”
