Quotes:
O'Neill: "You know, I'm kinda partial to P3A 575. You don't mind taking P3A 577, do you?"
Kawalsky: "No, I'll take 577."
O'Neill: "I'm not married to it. I want to be fair about this. How 'bout we flip for it?"Kawalsky: "Man, those Goa'uld are persistent."
O'Neill: "I think we pissed them off."O'Neill: "Well, there've got to be worse ways to go."
Daniel: "You don't think the Goa'uld are sending people through, do you?"
O'Neill, shrugging: "Would be like bugs on a windshield."Daniel: "So this iris is going to hold, right?"
Carter: "Pure titanium, less than three micrometers from the event horizon. It won't even allow matter to fully reintegrate."
O'Neill: "So this iris is going to hold, right?"
Carter: "If it doesn't, the fail-safe device will detonate, this whole mountain will vaporize and there'll be nothing to worry about."
O'Neill: "Ah, good. I feel much better."O'Neill: "What's the bad news, General?"
Hammond: "Not much for small talk, are you, Colonel?"
O'Neill: "How was your weekend? Get a little fishing in?"O'Neill, about Goa'uld coming through the Gate: "Well, they'll be in for a surprise, huh?"
Teal'c: "Your iris will be closed."
O'Neill, shrugging: "Surprise."O'Neill: "We tend to be afraid of things we don't know."
Teal'c: "If I had killed you then, I would not be here now."
O'Neill: "Neither would I."Daniel: "So. The device should be on every planet we find. I studied the one on Abydos for months. It's sorta like a...a..."
Carter: "Telephone."
Daniel: "Telephone. I like that. In order to get back home all you have to do is...dial Earth. Which is what we're here to talk about. So...what is Major Kawalsky doing in the embarkation room?"Teal'c: "I offer my knowledge of the Goa'ulds. I offer my skills as a warrior to defeat them. I pledge my honor and my life to this world."
Kennedy: "Well. Thank you."O'Neill: "Permission to barge in, Sir?"
Kennedy: "Colonel O'Neill. I was hoping to meet you. Your mission report from Chu'lac made for the most engrossing analysis of my career."
O'Neill: "Well, thanks. What was your favorite part?"O'Neill: "That's 'Teal'c' with an apostrophe C. T-E-A-L-'-C. Teal'c."
Teal'c: "There is a tale of a primitive world the Goa'uld discovered millennia ago. The Tauri. First world where forms of this type evolved. It is said the Goa'uld harvested among the primitives. Some became Goa'uld hosts. Others became Jaffa. The rest were taken as slaves and seated among the stars to serve them. But that world has been lost for centuries."
Kennedy: "Beings of this form evolved here, on Earth."
Teal'c: "This world...?"
O'Neill: "Is the world you're talking about. Ra came here. If our ancestors hadn't rebelled and buried the Stargate..."
Teal'c: "...you would have not become strong enough to challenge them."
Kennedy: "Then the galaxy is populated...by the ancient peoples of Earth."
O'Neill: "There could be millions by now."
Teal'c: "Then you are their greatest hope. And mine."Carter: "When was the last time you slept?"
Daniel: "I don't know."
Carter: "Doesn't help when the whole base goes on alert every two hours."
Daniel: "No, it's not that. It's just that...my mind races and I can't stop thinking about Sha're. Where she is, what she's become."
Carter: "But you can't stay awake forever."
Daniel, raising his Styrofoam coffee cup: "I can try. You're right. I'll meet you at the next briefing."O'Neill, about the Goa'uld: "God, I hate those things."
Hammond to Kennedy: "Just what kind of officer are you, Colonel?"
Kennedy: "Sir?"
Hammond: "As long as there's a snowball's chance in hell that my officer will come out of this procedure alive, we'll go ahead with it."
Kennedy: "With respect, General, I think I should take this to my superiors."
Hammond, laughing: "Me? I'll probably call the President and get approval right from the horse's mouth. But sure, you go right ahead, Colonel. Talk to your superiors."Kawalsky: "Listen, Jack, if this doesn't work I..."
O'Neill: "Hey, come on. It's a cake walk."
Kawalsky: "It hurts to talk. Will you shut up for a minute? I want to be cremated. I don't want there to be anything left of that thing inside me. You make sure, alright?"
O'Neill: "Look, can we not talk about this?"
Kawalsky: "When am I going to talk about it, Jack? This could be my last conversation."
O'Neill: "Oh, for crying out loud. It's not your last conversation."
Kawalsky: "Hey, I spoke to the Doc. He told me the odds. Don't give me any crap."
O'Neill: "Ok. It's our last conversation."
Kawalsky: "You're going to be off on some other planet..."
O'Neill: "P3A 575..."
Kawalsky: "Whatever. This was going to be my first real command. I was looking forward to it."
O'Neill: "You still can, Charlie."
Kawalsky: "You got me all tied up here. Give me your hand. I want you to know, no matter what happens, it was an honor to serve with you, Sir."
O'Neill: "Listen. Um, I gotta ask you something. It's not easy for me."
Kawalsky: "We're friends."
O'Neill: "If you don't make it...can I have your stereo?"
Kawalsky: "It hurts to laugh."
O'Neill: "You alright?"
Kawalsky: "Oh, never better."Kawalsky: "I want to wake up as me or not at all."
O'Neill, to Kawalsky after the surgery: "That's right, Dorothy. It was all a dream."
O'Neill, to Kawalsky who's drinking something: "Easy, big fella. You're not drinking for two anymore."
Kennedy: "I heard the operation was a complete success, Sir. Congratulations. I have my orders to return to Langly."
Hammond: "Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out."Daniel: "Anyway, ah, Colonel Kennedy's probably going to want to take it with him so if you want to see it before he..."
Kawalsky: "You talking about that thing in my head?"
O'Neill: "Daniel thinks it's fascinating."
Daniel: "No. I thought you just might want to see it..."
Kawalsky: "No, thanks."O'Neill: "Apparently Kennedy's ethics are selective."
O'Neill: "So, because he wasn't born on this particular planet doesn't mean he has any rights anymore?"
Teal'c: "You cannot pass."
Teal'c: "He was your friend."
O'Neill: "My friend died on the table."Daniel: "Something of the host must survive."
