Surrender or die!
Col. O'NeillWhat?
Surrender or die!
Col. O'NeillI was just gonna say the exact same thing.
O'Neill, of SG-1.
Col. O'NeillHey, how you doing? You'll have to forgive me, I'm terrible with names. What was...
[A staff shot is fired]
Col. O'NeillJeez!
I am Her'ak.
Col. O'NeillCongratulations. Failing upwards I see.
[pointing to Teal'c] He is Jaffa.
Col. O'NeillNo, but he plays one on TV.
[Jackson has turned up alive on an alien planet, but without his memory]
Do you not recognize us, Daniel Jackson?
I'm sorry.
[Jackson walks away. uncomfortable pause.]
Col. O'NeillNot even me?
Besides, who am I gonna tell? I mean, I don't, uh, I don't remember anybody, right?
Col. O'NeillGood one.
Thanks, Jim.
Col. O'NeillIt's Jack.
Right.
All I know is that the place you're searching right now is not it.
Col. O'NeillSo, where is "it"?
Did I just say "all I know"?
Col. O'NeillEveryone turn away.
Sir?
Col. O'NeillI want no witnesses.
Col. O'NeillAll I'm saying... just for the record... this is the wackiest plan we've ever come up with. [He turns and starts to leave the room]
Wackier than strapping an active Stargate to the bottom of the X-302?
Col. O'Neill[As he walks out the door] Oh, yeah.
[Calling after O'Neill] Wackier than—than blowing up a sun?
Col. O'Neill[From the corridor, unseen] Yep!
[to Jonas and Daniel] ...He's probably right.
[Col. O'Neill and Major Carter are testing out a new fighter, the X-302.
Col. O'NeillI want to see what this thing's made of.
I could tell you exactly, sir.
Col. O'NeillAnother time, maybe. Please.
[Dr. Frasier has just given Daniel his glasses.]
Oh, that's much better.
Col. O'NeillDo you recognize me now?
Your hair always been like that?
Col. O'NeillLike what? [Looks confused at Daniel and then at Dr. Frasier]
Never mind.
They say that they are friends.
No one can be a friend, if you know not whether to trust them.
Col. O'NeillDon't judge a book by its cover.
Enemies promises were made to be broken.
Col. O'NeillAnd yet honesty is the best policy.
He that has too many friends has none.
Col. O'NeillAh, but birds of a feather...
I'm unfamiliar with that story. What lesson does it teach?
Col. O'NeillIt has to do with flocking...and togetherness...and to be honest I'm not that familiar with the particulars myself.
As for the rest of you, you will be publicly executed as an example to all who would defy their god!
Col. O'NeillDoes it have to be public?
[Her'ak points his staff weapon at Col. O'Neill]
I could kill you now.
Col. O'NeillPublicly's fine.
It's not that I mind...rejoining SG-1 and exploring the galaxy, meeting new cultures, jeopardy, saving the world, that kind of thing ... we get paid for this, right?
Col. O'Neill[smiling] Welcome back.
Col. O'NeillWhat's going on?
[referring to Loki] We're pretty sure this Asgard kidnapped you and attempted to replace you with a clone.
Col. O'NeillHow long was I asleep?!
Seven days.
Col. O'NeillThat's a record.
No, no, no, this is all wrong.
Col. O'NeillHey! I'll tell you what's wrong. I just woke up, haven't had coffee, let alone a pee in seven days, and I find out you stole my ass and made a -- mini-me! Carter, I should be irked currently, yes?
Yes, I—I would be.
I am a scientist. A former geneticist with the Asgard Ruling Council.
Former?
I was stripped of my stature when I was caught performing unsanctioned experiments on humans.
Col. O'NeillWhat, you've got sanctioned ones?
Why risk coming back here after nineteen years?
I thought he was the one.
Me?
I believed his genetic code contained the key.
Mine?
Col. O'Neill[To the clone] Will you stop that?
He was physiologically advanced enough to carry and utilize all the data from the Ancient repository of knowledge. That would not be possible for any human one generation ago. He is a significant step forward on your evolutionary path.
You just found this out recently?
I learned about it when all the Asgard did. O'Neill is legendary. [Col. O'Neill adopts a smug look]
