Quotes:
O'Neill, to Carter who's explaining her "vision": "You don't think it was just a dream."
Carter: "No, Sir. It was real. I could tell."
O'Neill: "You could tell."
Carter: "Yes, Sir. I don't know how exactly, but I could tell."
O'Neill: "So we're supposed to buy into this...ESP or whatever it is?"
Teal'c: "When a Goa'uld invades its host, their minds intermingle, become as one. It is possible that portions of Jolinar of Molkshur remain in Captain Carter's mind." (Ok, writers, we're overdosing on information we've already been told in previous episodes...less review next time, please!)
Carter: "These Tok'ra were on the run. They may be in trouble. Now if we want to find them again we should find them before they move on. They may still be at these coordinates."
Daniel: "Now, you said their eyes glowed. Are you really sure that these Tok'ra are what Jolinar said they were? I mean, good guys, for lack of a better word?"
Carter: "Yes."
O'Neill: "Yes. Just 'yes?' Could you elaborate a little?"
Carter: "I'm sorry, Colonel. I know it's hard to understand. I don't really understand it myself but I am sure. I...I just know."
Teal'c: "According to Jaffa legend, the Tok'ra are the Goa'uld resistance. Their stated goal is the destruction of the System Lords and a change in the ways of the empire. They are hunted and despised by the Goa'uld."
O'Neill: "Yes! My kind of guys."
Carter: "General Hammond, if I may. My vision is the only lead we have to go on. Shouldn't we at least check it out before they more on?"
Hammond: "Colonel."
O'Neill: "General?"
Hammond: "I am prepared to send SG-1 through to the coordinates Captain Carter saw in her vision, if you agree."
Carter: "Colonel, I know you're skeptical about these things, but I am confident that I'm right on this one."
O'Neill, after a pause while he's thinking: "Let's check it out."Carter to General Hammond about her dying father: "It's ok. He doesn't want me around anyway."
Hammond: "Sam, I've known Jacob a long time. That's not true."
Carter: "Sir, he's always too concerned about appearing the strong soldier. The last thing he would want is for me to see him in a hospital bed losing a battle. I should get going, Sir. I don't want to hold things up."
Hammond: "Captain, you're more like your father than you'd like to admit."O'Neill, coming through the Stargate and seeing a bunch of...sand: "Ah, where's that yellow brick road when you need it, eh Dorothy?"
Carter: "Some dunes over there."
O'Neill: "Dunes it is."O'Neill: "No one's tread here in awhile."
Teal'c: "The Tok'ra are known for their ability to master trails. They are, as you say, stealthy in their actions." Suddenly a bunch of people pop up out of the dunes and point some weapons at them.
Daniel: "Yeah, stealthy would be a good word, Teal'c."Cordesh, about the standoff between the Tok'ra and SG-1: "I think we will have the advantage. There are more of us."
O'Neill: "This is true."O'Neill, about their standoff which is still going on: "You know, in some galaxies, this is called 'loitering.'"
Daniel, about an alliance with the Tok'ra: "That's why we're here to seek out the Tok'ra."
O'Neill: "Assuming, of course, you are the Tok'ra."
Cordesh: "And if we're not?"
O'Neill: "Well, I guess we all start shooting. There's blood, death, hard feelings. It'd suck."O'Neill, smiling as the standoff comes to an end: "Now that's better, isn't it? So. Take me to your leader."
Jacob: "Let me tell you something, George. My little girl grew up seeing daddy go off to God knows where to fight God knows what and I always came home alive and well. Now I'm going to let her sit here and watch me lose a war? To some little runts so small I can't even see them?"
Hammond: "That's exactly what she thought you'd say."Garshaw: "I assume you are from the first world, the Tauri. Is that correct?"
O'Neill: "Yup."
Garshaw: "Were you among those who rid the galaxy of the supreme System Lord Ra?"
O'Neill: "Yup. That's us. That, that...yeah, we're those."
Garshaw: "Then, in a sense, you are Tok'ra."
Daniel, suddenly "getting it": "Of course! Tok'ra. Tok...Tok'ra. Against...against Ra. Thank you for...sharing that."
O'Neill: "We still don't know what to call her."
Garshaw: "Oh, we too are Tok'ra."
O'Neill: "Finally!"Cordesh: "And why should we trust you?"
O'Neill: "You know something? I've been asking myself the same damn question. Why should we trust you? You are, after all, Goa'uld."
Daniel: "Jack..."
O'Neill, lifting his finger to silence Daniel: "Ack! Don't. We've done nothing but get interrogated here. Now, are we prisoners and are you Goa'uld?"
Daniel, also lifting his finger cutely: "Ja..." He stops himself."
O'Neill, with yet more finger motion: "Ah."
Garshaw: "You are not, and I have told you we are not Goa'uld." Her voice is definitely Goa'uldish and her eyes glow.
O'Neill: "Alright then...why do you talk like that? And what's with the glowing eyes, huh? Might it have something to do with a little reptilian activity in your heads?"Daniel: "Why would any human volunteer to be a host for a Goa'uld?"
Yosef: "Perhaps I can...I can help you. I am Yosef. I am Garshaw's host. I speak freely without restraint or censure. All of us who serve as hosts volunteer to do so freely."
Daniel: "Ok, maybe you can answer my question then. Why would any human volunteer for...for...that?"
Yosef: "Well, with the blending I gain all of Garshaw's knowledge, her wisdom. More than any human could...could ever attain. And my life span is twice what it would be without the blending. And for all this, all I have to do is share my physical body."
O'Neill: "So you've kinda got a little Faustian deal going here, seeing your soul for immortality."Daniel, seeing Selmak: "How old is she?"
Yosef: "She will be 203 of your years in a few of your days."
Daniel: "I'm sorry, I was under the impression that Goa'uld lived much longer than 200 years."
Yosef: "The Goa'uld do, but Tok'ra don't."
Carter: "That's because you don't use the sarcophagus, right?"
Martouf: "That's correct. We believe to do so would drain the good from our hearts."
Daniel, quietly: "I can vouch for that." (What a powerful reminder of the events of "Need!")Martouf, after saying Selmak was going to die: "Unless one of you wishes to volunteer to serve as a host."
O'Neill: "I'm gonna pass on that."
Daniel: "Yes. Although it does sound very fascinating, I think it's a little too long term for me." (Compare his statement here to his impulsive offering of himself as a host in "Children of the Gods!")
Carter: "I'm sorry. I've already been through that."O'Neill, to Martouf who's about to take Carter on a little walk: "Ok, Son. But I want you to have her back by 11 o'clock. You understand?" (Cute! Richard Dean Anderson practicing this line to use for his daughter's dates one day, perhaps?)
Carter: "I am curious. What...what was Jolinar's host like?"
Martouf: "Jolinar's host, Rosha, was very beautiful. She had eyes like the oceans of Marnoon, hair was the color of sand on Abydos, and her smile was...was as infectious as laughter. In fact, Rosha looked very much like you, Captain Carter. You are very beautiful."Carter: "This must be what it's like to be schizophrenic."
Martouf: "What is schizophrenic?"
Carter: "It's a mental illness humans have. It's like a split personality. Two people in one brain. I mean, there's me, Samantha Carter, and then there's this leftover part of Jolinar that feels things like..."
Martouf: "Like?"
Carter: "Like some pretty deep feelings for you."
Martouf: "Jolinar has left this imprint on your mind?" Carter nods. "I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable but..."
Carter: "No. What you had, you and Jolinar, you were in love longer than I've been alive. Hell, longer than I will be alive."
Martouf: "She left this feeling with you?" Carter nods again. "You can feel how she felt for me?"
Carter: "Yes. And it's confusing the hell out of me."
Martouf: "Why?"
Carter: "Because it's not just in my mind like a memory. I feel it. Like I've had this relationship with you for a hundred years. I don't know if I can describe it with words. What Jolinar felt for you, I...I don't even think I'm capable of comprehending."
Martouf: "Maybe there's another way you can communicate it. Perhaps in a way other than words." He reaches out and takes her hand, and they stare at each other for a really long moment.Daniel, to Garshaw who wants to know what Earth has that could be of use to the Tok'ra: "I'm sure we have something you could use."
Garshaw: "Please. Give us an example."
O'Neill: "Sure. Daniel."
Daniel: "Errrr...well, we have the same goals in mind."
Carter: "Perhaps there's some technology that could be of use."
Cordesh: "Technology other than our own is useless to us. We are infiltrators. We work from within the Goa'uld. Therefore it is important we appear to be Goa'uld."Daniel, to Garshaw who won't let SG-1 go back home: "You want them to think that we're dead."
O'Neill: "Well, that kinda sucks."
