- "Wait, wait, wait, wait! "I need to find out what's inside. I'm the same way with Christmas presents and pinatas. One more compartment, other side of this door."
- ―Rodney McKay
A pinata is a container often made of papier-mâché, pottery, or cloth; it is decorated, and filled with small toys or candy, or both, and then broken as part of a ceremony or celebration. While searching the Moon base, Dr. Rodney McKay told Lt. Colonel John Sheppard always needs to know what is inside a pinata. (SGA: "The Ark")
