Quotes:
Hammond: "It was a pretty wild ride."
O'Neill: "Yes, Sir. Personally, I don't think we should be getting off that ride just yet."
Hammond: "Colonel, we've been through this. I agree with you. But we have our orders."
O'Neill: "They're ill-conceived orders, Sir."
Hammond: "I agree. But they're orders just the same and I for one follow orders."
O'Neill: "Even though we are the only line of defense protecting this planet."
Hammond: "I know that."
O'Neill: "I know you know that, Sir. You're still just going to chuck it, eh?"
Hammond: "You don't think I tried everything to prevent this shut down? I went back to Senator Kinsey twice, the second time he had me forcibly removed from his office. I went to the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs. Hell, I finally called the President himself."
O'Neill: "What'd he say?"
Hammond: "He said that to override the Senate Committee on this one would be political suicide for him. It's over, Jack. No extensions, no reversals, no new hearing. The Stargate will be buried literally and figuratively."O'Neill: "Hammond's given up. They're going to bury the gate day after tomorrow."
Teal'c: "Then I must return through the Stargate as soon as possible."
Daniel: "Guess we all should go through the gate as soon as possible."
Carter: "Whoa, whoa. Go through to where?"
Daniel: "To the coordinates I got in the other reality."
O'Neill: "Daniel, damn it...."
Daniel: "Jack, it was real."
Carter: "Ok, even if it was how do we know that address correlates with this reality?"
Daniel: "Well there's only one way to find out, isn't there?"
Teal'c: "We should enter the coordinates and attempt to open the gate." Daniel nods.
Carter: "Ok, hold on. Has anyone considered that we would be in gross violation of orders? Sir, we would be court-martialed the second we got back."
O'Neill: "If. If we got back."
Daniel: "Jack, if we don't go through what I saw in the other reality could happen here. This whole planet could be wiped out. Now, in the other reality by the time I left Sara was dead. Carter, your whole family was dead. Hell, I was dead. Everyone was dead."
O'Neill: "Daniel, I got it."
Daniel: "Okay! Well, don't you think we should see if we can stop the same slaughter from happening here? Let me as you something, Jack. If we don't go through now and the Goa'uld do attack later, how are you going to feel?" O'Neill turns around, very confused.
Carter: "How are just the four of us going to stop the attack anyway? Even if we do go through."
Daniel: "Well, we'd have a much better chance now than we would trying to stop an overwhelming onslaught later. Trust me, I have seen it."
Teal'c: "If the coordinates are for a Goa'uld world which is not on the Abydos cartouche, the Goa'uld will most likely not expect us. I believe a medical attack could be successful."
O'Neill: "Surgical attack, Teal'c. It's called a surgical attack and I'd feel like an idiot."
Carter: "Sir?"
O'Neill: "I was answering Daniel's question. If we don't do something now and they do attack later I'd feel like an idiot. We go."
Teal'c: "I too will go."
O'Neill, to Carter: "It's not an order, Captain."
Carter: "I understand that, Colonel. Thank You. I'm going."O'Neill, upon seeing the zat guns for the very first time: "Cool."
O'Neill, once again about the zat guns: "Sweet."
Daniel, entering the coordinates and not getting a connection: "Uh oh."
O'Neill, seeing the serpent guards: "I always get a happy tingly feeling when I see those guys."
O'Neill, hearing that the Great Big Flying Ball is a really advanced form of a TV: "Think it gets Showtime?"
Technician: "Sir, we've confirmed that it was SG-1. They went to the coordinates that Dr. Jackson brought back with him from that...other place."
Daniel: "A sarcophagus."
O'Neill: "Oh great. More snake heads."O'Neill, being cornered by a Jaffa: "Hey! How're ya doing? Ah, seen a bathroom around here?"
O'Neill: "Ok. One shot hurts him, two shots killed him. The third shot...?"
Teal'c: "Disintegrates him."
O'Neill: "Oh, great! You didn't feel this was worthy of mention, I take it."O'Neill: "Well, I suggest the two of you figure out how to get us back home."
Carter: "Sir, the only way to do that would be to turn this thing around and go back to where we started."
Daniel: "Right, I'll just go tell the pilot."O'Neill: "Ok, let's go."
Daniel, in typical Daniel-questions-everything-O'Neill-says fashion: "Wait a minute. Go where?"
O'Neill: "Wherever they're going."O'Neill: "He called him his son. That's sick."
Carter: "Not exactly a chip off the old block."
Daniel: "The Goa'uld inside Skaara is probably the son of the one inside Apophis."
O'Neill: "Well, thank you, Daniel. That's encouraging."
Daniel: "I'm just trying to help."Klorel: "You dare to do this to Klorel? You will die a painful death."
O'Neill: "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."Skaara: "Are you still my friend?"
O'Neill: "Yes, I am."O'Neill, to the image of Apophis on the Great Big Flying Ball: "Hey pops!"
Teal'c: "O'Neill, prepare yourself for..." there's a really big lurch on the ship, and O'Neill goes flying against the wall "...extreme deceleration."
O'Neill: "Yeah, thanks, Teal'c."Hammond: "Guess Dr. Jackson is lucky."
Technician: "How so, Sir?"
Hammond: "He won't have to be around to watch his nightmare come true for a second time."
