Quotes:
O'Neill: "Witness, if you will. A ghost town."
Carter: "A very advanced ghost town."
Daniel: "The architecture indicates an Earth ancestry." O'Neill steps in some nacho cheese which they all interpret to be animal waste product.
O'Neill: "Aw, man. Anybody have any idea what this is?"
Carter: "I hate to say it, Sir, but they might have a bit of a pigeon problem."
O'Neill: "I don't see any pigeons. There should be a lot of them."

Daniel, seeing a swarm of bugs: "Uh, we better get out of here."
O'Neill: "No, really?"
Daniel: "No, really!!!"

Daniel: "I'll dial!"
(A Daniel 'Duh' moment...almost like he's a kid claiming a favorite job. "Ooh! Ooh! I'll do it!!")

O'Neill, about the thunks on the iris: "Those are bugs, Sir. Big, ugly bugs!"

Fraiser: "The blood sample I took showed a rather disturbing amount of DNA that doesn't match Teal'c's."
Daniel and O'Neill: "What...does that mean?"

Harlow: "A subsequent analysis of the blood sample revealed none of the subject's matching DNA."
Carter: "Um, the subject's name is Teal'c. And what are you talking about?"

Teal'c: "I have felt great pain, O'Neill. But never sickness such as this. I do not enjoy it."
O'Neill: "Nobody does."
Teal'c: "I am also feeling something else."
O'Neill: "Hey, I'd be scared too."
Teal'c: "I do not want to become something other than what I am."
O'Neill: "Let the doctors do their job."
Teal'c: "O'Neill, you are my friend. When there is no longer any hope, I would rather die."
(Does this remind anyone else of certain scenes in "The Enemy Within" and "Message in a Bottle" reversed?)

Hammond, as O'Neill knocks on the door: "Come in."
O'Neill: "You wanted to see me, Sir?" He sees a certain long-hated government official. "Oh for crying out loud."
Mayborne: "Colonel O'Neill."
O'Neill, sarcastically: "Hello, Mayborne."
Hammond: "Thought you would want to see this." He hands O'Neill an order for Mayborne to take Teal'c with him.
O'Neill: "You've got to be kidding."
Hammond: "It's an official order. I have no choice."
O'Neill: "Well, what about...?"
Hammond: "The President is currently unavailable."
Mayborne: "This facility is frontline. Your mandate is search and retrieval. Mine is research and development. The source of information Teal'c has been invaluable to your operation. Now he may prove equally invaluable to mine. Now, this organism could be the biological weapon...."
O'Neill: "He save your smarmy ass and everyone else on this planet. Does that count for anything in your world?"
Mayborne: "Absolutely. And I am thrilled to get the chance to thank him personally."
O'Neill: "General Hammond, request permission to beat the crap out of this man." Hammond doesn't answer.

O'Neill, seeing Teal'c being led away: "What's with the chains?"
Hammond: "Mayborne."
O'Neill: "Of course."

Carter: "All I'm saying is that, notwithstanding what happened to Teal'c, there may be valuable technology on that planet."
O'Neill: "Carter, there are bugs on that planet. Big, huge, ugly, honking bugs."

Mayborne: "I want as many personnel and canine units as this base has at my disposal five minutes ago."
O'Neill: "All of them report to me. I'm running the search."
Mayborne: "This is still my responsibility."
O'Neill: "Oh, I'm holding your responsible. Don't you fret."

Mayborne: "Striking an officer is a quick way to a court martial."
O'Neill: "Oh, I'm not going to strike you, Mayborne. I'm going to shoot you."

Carter: "In the meantime, we have kinda a good news/bad news scenario. If we find Teal'c soon, we may have a way of saving him."
O'Neill: "Ok, that's the good news."
Carter: "But someone has to go back to BP6 3Q1 and catch one of those alien insects, preferably alive."
Daniel: "And that would be the bad news."
O'Neill: "I'll go, Sir."
Carter: "You'll need someone to watch your back."
Daniel: "And I'll go too."

O'Neill: "Pack your bug spray, Kids."

Punk: "Check this dude out. Hey man, where are you going? Hey, cool tattoo, man, where'd you get that?"
Teal'c: "Chu'lac."
Punk: "'Chu'lac'? Where's that? East side?"
Teal'c: "Remove yourself from my path."
Punk: "Listen to this guy. I'll remove myself when you tell me how to do tattoos like that in Chu'lac."
Teal'c: "The skin is cut with an Orack knife, and pure molten gold is poured into the wound."
Punk: "Ow...don't that hurt when they do that?"
Teal'c, picking up the punk by his throat and moving him: "Tremendously."
Ally, after Teal'c is gone: "That guy's cool!"

Hammond, about the Goa'uld larva: "Damned if I ever thought I'd be praying for one of those things to live."

Hammond: "So Teal'c's not going to turn into just one of those things."
Carter: "No, Sir. He's going to turn into a whole lotta those things."

Ally: "Nobody move!" She sees Teal'c. "Sorry. I didn't know the room was occupied."
Teal'c: "What type of weapon do you possess?"
Ally: "This? Chill man, it's just a water gun. I was playing, see?" She shoots him. "Oh, sorry, man. Please don't freak on me."
Teal'c: "Leave me."
Ally: "You're not from around here, are you? Well, if you ask me, you look like you could use a couple more days in rehab."
Teal'c: "No one must know that I am here."
Ally: "Kay. Are you sure, though? I mean, you look worse than my dad did after he was shot. And he died."
Teal'c: "You must leave."
Ally: "Kay."
Teal'c: "Wait."
Ally: "Wh...?"
Teal'c: "I must have nourishment."
Ally, seeing what Teal'c looking at: "Oh, man! You want my chocolate bar?"
Teal'c: "I must eat."
Ally: "Kay. How 'bout we share it?" She gives Teal'c half of the bar. "Peanuts and caramel. Pretty good, huh?"
Teal'c: "Can you get more?"
Ally: "Maybe. What's in it for me?"
Teal'c: "Peanuts and caramel."
Ally: "No, I mean, what do I get?"
Teal'c: "I have nothing to offer you."
Ally: "How 'bout...let's say you owe me one. Like in the Godfather. How's that?" Teal'c nods. "Ok, back in a flash."
Teal'c: "No one must know."
Ally: "Don't sweat it."
Teal'c: "I cannot prevent it."
Ally: "I meant, ok."

Harlow: "Can you retract that flap for me, please?"
Daniel, looking around the room hoping the doctor was talking to someone else but not seeing anyone: "Me?"
Harlow: "It's perfectly sedated."
(Daniel's a little chicken when it comes to gross dissection things, isn't he?)

Ally: "Hey!" She hits Teal'c with the bar. "You a Kimble?"
Teal'c: "What is a Kimble?"
Ally: "What planet are you from? You know Dr. Richard Kimble, the Fugitive? I'm asking if you're wanted by the law. Looks like the cops are asking about you on the street."
Teal'c: "They must not find me."
Ally: "What'd you do?"
Teal'c: "I have done nothing."
Ally: "Innocent until proven guilty."
Teal'c: "You must leave."
Ally: "Why?"
Teal'c: "I am dangerous."
Ally: "No way. You won't hurt me."
Teal'c: "How can you know this?"
Ally: "I got the sense. My old man gave it to me. He was a cop. He could tell who the bad guys were just by smelling them."
Teal'c: "What is your purpose here?"
Ally: "Got nothing better to do."
Teal'c: "Do you not attend an educational institution?"
Ally: "What planet are you from? Duh...nobody goes to school in the summer, unless you're stupid."
Teal'c: "What about the one who gave you birth?"
Ally: "My mom? She works all day so I can get dinner and a place to sleep. Listen, you're a sitting duck down here."
Teal'c: "And ducks are bad?"
Ally: "Ah, the sitting kind are. Here, if you can get up, I'll show you to a place to hide."

O'Neill: "So the race is on."

Mayborne: "Hello, young lady. I'm Colonel Mayborne. I work for the United States of America, your government, the good guys."
Ally: "Yeah, right."
Mayborne: "We're here on a little investigation. Actually, we're looking for someone. He was last seen around this building. We think he could still be here. But maybe you could help us. Now, he's tall...."
Ally: "I ain't seen nobody, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."
Mayborne: "Oh? Why's that?"
Ally: "Because I don't like the way you smell."

O'Neill, about the dying Goa'uld: "It's too bad you can't zap it with those paddles, like they do on 'ER.' That guy that....what?"
Carter: "It couldn't be that simple."
Fraiser: "De-fibbing would kill it."
Carter: "But we've done our best to synthesize almost every environmental condition the Goa'uld larva had inside Teal'c's pouch."
O'Neill: "What?"
Carter: "Nutrition, temperature...."
Fraiser: "Except electrical current."
Carter: "And there is a very small constant electrical charge flowing through all our bodies. The Goa'uld may need that."
Fraiser: "Ok, so then all we need is a small enough power source."
O'Neill: "What?"

Ally, seeing Teal'c covered in weird cocoon-like stuff: "This is like serious alien stuff going on here."

Teal'c, to Ally who's about to go get some cops: "No!"
Ally: "But look at you! You don't really want this to happen, do you?"

Fraiser, about the Goa'uld larva: "It's getting better."
Carter: "It was so simple."
O'Neill: "Well, I guess my work here is done."

Ally: "Hell, is this Colonel Jack O'Neill? It's about time. I only had to talk to about fifteen people to get to you. Do you know a big dude named Teal'c?"

Daniel: "I'll go get help."

Teal'c: "O'Neill?"
O'Neill: "Yeah. It's me."
Teal'c: "Kill me."
O'Neill: "Ah, no."
Teal'c: "The change cannot be stopped."
O'Neill: "I won't lie to you. You don't look so good. But you're going to make it. You're gonna be ok."

Ally: "Why can't I go with you?"
Daniel: "I'm sorry, you just can't. These guys here are going to take care of you, make sure you're ok."
Ally: "Is Teal'c going to be ok?"
Daniel: "I hope so."
Ally: "Me too." Daniel walks away. "Hey! Tell him he still owes me one!"

Daniel: "It can't be easy when the thing you despise most about yourself is what saved your life."
O'Neill: "Hey. Even I'm happy he's got the snake."

Hammond: "Mayborne has ordered the insect specimen and all related research transferred to the Area 51 facility."
O'Neill: "I should've shot him."
Harlow: "I regret that's impossible, Sir."
Hammond: "Why's that?"
Harlow: "Well, as soon as Teal'c is fully recovered, the insect is going to be involved in an unfortunate lab accident. I'm afraid I'll have to take full responsibility."

Ally: "Teal'c! Hi!"
Teal'c: "Greetings, Ally."
Ally: "You're ok!"
Teal'c: "Thanks to you, I am feeling much better."
Ally: "Aw, man, it was no sweat. You look way better. I guess you can't really tell me what happened, all that top-secret James Bond stuff, right?"
Teal'c: "That is correct. To show you my gratitude, I have brought you a new weapon, one with increased range and firepower."
Ally: "Wicked! This is sooo cool! Have any time to play?"
Daniel: "Ah, actually...." Ally shoot Teal'c, then runs away. "Guess we shouldn't have loaded it, huh?"
Teal'c, putting on some cool black glasses: "How else will she defend herself?" He shoots Daniel, then runs after Ally.
Daniel: "How else?"
