"I have utter faith in you." (SGA snippet)

celli, there are some phrases that are always *sound* sarcastic, regardless of how eagerly they're meant:
***
"Christ, McKay." John shifted the P-90 strap on his shoulder and started counting the weapons surrounding them. (Four spears, five crossbows and one shovel, which begged the question: who brought a shovel to a lynching?) "I have utter faith in you."
"Oh," Rodney said, hands flying into the air and away from the DHD array he was supposed to be fixing, "thank you for that. Thank you, Colonel. Why not declare that we're doomed and have it over and done with?"
"I said I had utter faith--"
"Yes, and in *that* tone which basically means we're screwed. Might as well throw down our weapons now."
John took a deep breath and glanced over at the angrily waved shovel. "We. Are. Not. Screwed."
"Please. We're screwed in so many different ways, we're a walking Kama Sutra." Rodney threw the words over his shoulder as he clicked two crystals into place. He punched in the gate address and grinned as the gate started to glow. "Luckily for you, though, I'm a genius and we will live to run away again."
"I knew there was a reason," John said, as Teyla and Ronon ran through, "for that utter faith."
As Rodney spluttered indignantly, John grabbed his arm and sprinted through the gate.
