I know what you seek, and you will not find it here. Your journey has been in vain.

But we are peaceful explorers. Men of science.

[chuckles grimly as he sees Commander Rourke's sidearm]

And yet you bring weapons.

Our weapons allow us to remove... obstacles we may encounter.

Some obstacles cannot be removed with a mere show of force. Return to your people. You must leave Atlantis, at once.

Your Majesty, be reasonable.

Sir?

Not now, son.

Uh, trust me on this. We'd better do as he says.

May I respectfully request that... we stay one night, sir? That would give us time to rest, resupply, be ready to travel by morning.

Very well. One night. That is all.
