Quotes:
Carter to the Secretary: "We think you're looking at the event horizon of an artificially created wormhole through our space time to a point tens even hundreds of light years away...Sir."
Secretary: "Uh huh."

Daniel, to Secretary: "I'm sorry. I thought we were explorers."
Secretary: "Oh, you are, Dr. Jackson. But even Marco Polo when he came back from the Far East brought more than just a few exotic spices."

O'Neill: "Cultures with advanced technology tend not to like to share it."
Secretary: "So. We're wasting our time."
O'Neill: "Would you interpret what I just said?"

Daniel: "Hover? Like a hummingbird?"
Teal'c: "With teeth."

Teal'c: "When we became misdirected and needed to relocate the Stargate, we needed a Goa'uld homing device to find it."
Daniel: "Do we have a homing device?"
O'Neill: "Of course we do. It's with our gear."
Daniel: "Which is...by the Stargate."

Carter to Daniel who's feeling her chest through her ripped clothes: "Hey, what are you looking at?!"
Daniel: "I felt that blast kill me. I mean, I thought I...I thought we were dead. Weren't we dead?"
Carter: "Yeah..."
Daniel: "Ok. Well I thought heaven would be a little more upscale."
Carter: "Oh...I don't think this is heaven."

O'Neill: "Wasn't I just...?"
Daniel: "Killed."
O'Neill: "Killed as in..."
Daniel: "Dead."
O'Neill: "Dead."
Carter: "Yeah, we know. We saw it happen. Same thing happened to us."
O'Neill: "Well, this is a surprise, then."

O'Neill, to the Nox: "Sorry to drop in on you like this but we were...dead."

O'Neill: "Ah. Fruit. Nothing like coming back from the dead to build an appetite."

Daniel: "I think they're a family."
O'Neill: "Of what?"

O'Neill, to the Nox boy who is clearly not understanding him: "Those things you found on us? Those, um, things you...took...from us. The big things? They're very dangerous, and..."

O'Neill: "Please tell me you know what's going on around here."

O'Neill, to Carter about the Nox boy: "No, we can't keep him."

O'Neill, to Daniel: "Maybe you should ask them about the Stargate."
Daniel: "I have. They don't understand. Actually, they really don't say much at all. I'm trying to figure out if they're human."
Carter: "Well they're fairly human."
Anteaus, speaking for the first time: "I will take you to your doorway."
O'Neill: "Whoa."
Daniel: "You understand what I'm saying?"
Anteaus: "It took time to learn your speech."
Carter: "Not much time."
Anteaus: "Your weapons are gone."
O'Neill: "Gone where?"
Carter: "You know about our enemy?"
O'Neill, seeing the Nox aren't responding: "The bad guys? They'll be following us."
Lya: "You attacked them."
Carter: "We only meant to capture him."
O'Neill, about Shak'l: "Look, we're not in the assassination business. He's just bad. He's very..." Looks to Daniel for clarification.
Daniel: "Bad."
O'Neill: "Bad. We just wanted to take him back to our world and have a little chat with him about all the nasty..."
Daniel and O'Neill: "...bad..."
O'Neill: "...things he's been doing. We just didn't know about this force field deal."
Teal'c: "I had never seen such a device. If I had..."
O'Neill: "It's alright. Thanks to you folks."
Anteaus: "We will take you to your doorway. You will go."
Carter: "As in, the Stargate?"
Lya: "Yes. You will go?"
O'Neill: "Well, it's not quite that simple..."
Teal'c: "By rescuing us you have placed yourselves in great danger. Apophis will try to locate us."
Anteaus: "Rest now. You will leave soon. Take your ways with you."
O'Neill: "No, wait, wait. You helped us. You saved us."
Anteaus: "Yes."
O'Neill: "How?"
Anteaus: "Our ways."
Daniel: "We're from a race of people that want to learn about your ways, your medicine."
Anteaus: "No."
O'Neill: "Is there anyone else we could talk to? Do you have a leader?"
Anteaus: "They have no wish to see you."
O'Neill: "So there are others."
Anteaus: "You will go."
O'Neill: "Right. We'll go."

O'Neill: "Fenri?"
Daniel: "That's probably that disappearing, invisible, flying thing we were after earlier."

Anteaus, to SG-1: "You must go."
O'Neill: "Right. Well...for now we'll just go over here."

Carter, about Shak'l: "Well, we can't just walk away. If we hadn't attacked Apophis, he wouldn't even be here."
Daniel: "And we can't kill him, either." Everyone stares at him, shocked by his suggestion. "I wasn't considering it, I was just stating a fact..."
(Oooohhhh... Evil Daniel emerging again!)

Daniel, to O'Neill who's making a weapon: "You guys just don't want to give up, do you?"
O'Neill: "No."
Carter: "It happens when you've spent half your life in special forces."
Daniel: "Yet somehow I don't think we'd make good Nox."
O'Neill: "You're right."

Nefreyu: "Is that a weapon?"
O'Neill: "Yes, and you can't have it."

Opher, taking sap of the tree and eating it: "Mmmm. You?" He offers it to Daniel.
Daniel: "Oh, no, thank you. I'm...trying to quit."

Opher: "I am four hundred and thirty-two years old."
Daniel: "Well, ah, you look great."
Opher: "Thank you."

O'Neill: "I was trying to protect the boy."
Anteaus: "You want to protect his body after poisoning his mind?"

Opher: "Our ways have served us for as long as our people have lived."

Daniel, about the Goa'uld: "Why did you not bury the Stargate? Do you know that that would stop them?"
Opher: "And they would know someone had buried it."
Daniel: "Right. Of course."

Anteaus: "We are not afraid."
O'Neill: "Well get afraid!"

O'Neill, about Nefreyu: "I told him to go home."
Anteaus: "I told you the same. The very young do not always do what they are told."

O'Neill: "Fine. Alright. We'll find our own way back to the Stargate. We're certainly not going to sit around here and watch a slaughter. Let's go."
Daniel: "Jack..."
O'Neill: "That's an order."
Daniel, to Anteaus: "Please. We're trying to help."
Anteaus: "Goodbye, Daniel."
O'Neill, walking away: "Think they bought it?"
Carter: "Almost believed it myself."

Daniel, to O'Neill who just produced a sharp weapon: "Where did that come from?"
O'Neill: "Well, the wee folks missed one. So Shak'l thinks we're unarmed, Apophis thinks he's invulnerable..."
Daniel: "And they're right...I think I found the flaw in your plan..."

Anteaus: "You fear for us. Yes?"
O'Neill: "Yes."
Anteaus: "Why?"
Teal'c: "It is our way that the strong defend the weak."
O'Neill: "We were afraid for you."
