[Col. O'Neill has been turned into a teenager]
Daniel! Will you tell them who I am? Please?
Dr. JacksonOkay. Love to. Who are you?
This boy claims he's Colonel O'Neill.
Dr. JacksonThis is a joke right?
Daniel!
Dr. JacksonSounds like him, at least the loud grating part.
Are you saying Colonel O'Neill has, somehow, regressed more than 30 years overnight?
Dr. JacksonStranger things have happened.
Name but one.
Dr. JacksonWell, there was the time he got really old, the time he became a caveman, the time we all swapped bodies...
What's going on?
Dr. Jackson[referring to Loki] We're pretty sure this Asgard kidnapped you and attempted to replace you with a clone.
How long was I asleep?!
Seven days.
That's a record.
Dr. JacksonWhy risk coming back here after nineteen years?
I thought he was the one.
Me?
I believed his genetic code contained the key.
Mine?
[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.
Dr. JacksonYou 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]
Dr. JacksonUh, what do we do if Thor doesn't show up? [Thor beams aboard the ship] Never mind.
Well, it's about time!
I apologize for not coming sooner. [angrily] Loki, what have you done?
Yeah, it seems he's been playing Dr. Moreau behind your back
Yes. Dr. Moreau.
[Dr. Jackson has just finished giving Intel about the Jaffa to SG-1 and Gen. Hammond, based on a dream]
Dr. Jackson[surprised] So, you believe me, too?
The things I've heard sitting in this chair…
[Referring to the movie Signs]
So they fly halfway across the galaxy, in a highly advanced spaceship, but they don't use their technology to take over the planet. You know what their weakness turned out to be? Water. I mean, if that's true, why go to all the trouble to invade a planet that's two-thirds water? Not to mention the rain.
Dr. JacksonWhy do you watch those movies if all you're going to do is cut 'em up?
Come on! Don't you occasionally like to see if they're getting it anywhere close to the truth?
Fraiser says that Teal'c needs a pep talk. I've been practicing in front of a mirror for an hour now.
Dr. JacksonNot peppy enough?
No, not really.
Dr. JacksonWe need a distraction
Grenades?
Think Bigger
Claymores?
[looking up at the dry dock with an unfinished mothership] Much bigger!
Dr. JacksonWhoa. What's this? [uncovers a crate full of primitive tools] Artifacts?
Yes.
Dr. JacksonYou found all this and you—you didn't contact me?
We were going to.
Dr. JacksonThey've been moved.
[annoyed] Well, they were in the way.
Daniel, go to your happy place.
Dr. Jackson[earnestly] Colonel, you don't understand. Unas are territorial, and when provoked, they can be extremely dangerous.
[to O'Neill] Is he always like this?
Yeah, pretty much.
Dr. JacksonYou're just sore that you lost.
Well, come on. It wasn't fair! Bunch of cheaters…
Dr. JacksonSo, whatcha gonna do?
Next year, I'm gonna kick butt.
[Dr. Jackson explains to Nesa that he needs glasses because he can't see well]
Perhaps you are in need of a symbiote.
Dr. JacksonYeah, I'll just stick with the glasses.
[Speaking of the Hak'tyl]
Dr. JacksonI can't help but think of the ancient Greek amazon mythos.
Yes. Me too.
Dr. JacksonThey were female warriors who occasionally captured men from other tribes in order to mate with them. Would often, um, would sometimes remove their right breasts so they could more easily fire a bow and arrow.
I see neither bow nor arrow.
Dr. JacksonNo.
Wait, you don't s'pose that's why they want us, do you? You know, the three of us.
Dr. JacksonTo...to mate with? No, I don't think so.
Cause you know me, I'm all for helping people.
[laughing] Oh, God!
[pointing to the Ancient device] Is that that thing that made that guy do that thing?
Dr. JacksonYeah, it's okay, it's off now.
Good. That's good.
Yeah, at least we think it's off. It's not glowing anymore so…
Dr. JacksonGlowing thing really gives it away, so if it's not glowing anymore it shouldn't be on anymore.
[to Daniel] Do you want to hold it?
Dr. JacksonNope. [moves away]
(laughs) That's crazy!
