Scenes with Daniel Jackson 399

[Alone on Prometheus, Carter is hallucinating that the rest of SG-1 is with her.]

Were you this annoying when you were ascended?

Dr. Jackson

I dunno, depends on who you ask. I thought I had a certain je ne sais quoi. Timing was so-so.

Daniel Jackson

Hey! Have I told you my latest theory yet? It's really cool. Lose something?

Did you see a…

Daniel Jackson

Little girl?

Yeah.

Daniel Jackson

No.

Dr. Jackson

[regarding the SGC] Miss it?

Yeah, I do.

Dr. Jackson

Well, judging from what you have to deal with back on Kelowna, I'm not surprised. I think I'd take life-threatening danger over one of those council meetings any day of the week.

Knowing your past experiences, Daniel Jackson, I do not know how you have slept well before now.

Dr. Jackson

Thank you, Teal'c. This conversation has been disturbing on many levels.

[Jackson has just led Bregman's camera crew on a chase through the SGC to his office, just to pick up a fax, which he reads aloud.]

What is the, uh…what is the significance of that?

Dr. Jackson

It's fascinating.

It's fasc…Okay. [to his crew] Back up. Back up. [back to Daniel] Uh, that's it? It's "fascinating"? Then why were we running?

Dr. Jackson

Oh, uh, I just wanted to see if you'd chase me. [grins]

[Talking to Dr. Jackson over the phone]

No, no, no, wait. Don't hang up. I need a seven-letter word.

Dr. Jackson

I told Sam I wouldn't help you.

Well then, this will be the one thing she doesn't know. "Up, Down, Charm"... Blank.

Dr. Jackson

"Strange."

Yeah, well, thanks anyway.

Dr. Jackson

No, the word you're looking for is... [O'Neill hangs up]

[Cut to Colonel O'Neill stepping out of the elevator where Daniel, Teal'c and Sam are waiting impatiently]

How long have you been standing there?

Dr. Jackson

You said half an hour an hour ago.

General Hammond is waiting for us.

[Colonel O'Neill hands Maj. Carter the crossword puzzle]

The fate of the universe is hanging in the balance and you've been sitting in your truck finishing this?

I believe the bet was double or nothing. [SG1 begins walking up the stairs towards the briefing room]

Okay, 23 across, "the atomic weight of boron." The answer is ten.

You wrote "fat."

Your point?

Daniel Jackson

[Describing the particulars of the Ancient device] Except for it wasn't meant for a physiology as primitive as ours.

Easy fella ...

Daniel Jackson

Sorry.

[Sitting on the ground] You know we've searched this place up and down...

Daniel Jackson

I know.

We could have Goa'uld on our collective asses any minute now...

Daniel Jackson

I know....According to the text on this column, it's inside.

[Sarcastically] Inside you say. Well let me tell you my friend. There is no inside. There's just a whole lot of [Hands pointing out for dramatic effect] outside.

Sir? [Sits down next to him on the sofa]

[After a long pause of her just staring at him] What?

I should have done it.

What? Stuck your head in that thing? Are you nuts? Carter. You're one of this country's natural resources. If not National treasures. It couldn't have gone down any other way. I just hope it's worth it...

Even if we do find the Lost City. Even if we get there and find exactly what we're looking for to defend the planet....

[Interrupts her] THAT ... would be worth it. [Jack and Sam stare at each other until a knock at the door interrupts their moment]

Daniel Jackson

[Opens the front door and pops his head in] Hello!?

[Sam smiles in disappointment. Jack sideways glances at her before calling out to Daniel and Teal'c] In here!

Daniel Jackson

[He and Teal’c slowly walk in the door. They peer around the corner ans see Sam and Jack sitting close] Oh sorry, are we interrupting anything?

COCol. O'Neill and Maj. Carter

[Dismissively] No...

What are you doing here?

Daniel Jackson

Oh we ... well it's ... it's a funny story actually. We, we, ah, were driving by and we, uh ... saw Sam's car in the driveway, and ... and ... uh ...

[Nudging Sam's arm, sarcastically] Funny.

Daniel Jackson

... Teal'c said to me. Well he didn't actually say anything. He just kinda looked at me and did that eyebrow raise thing that he kinda does and I said to him, I said 'hey, why don't we stop by and'...

[Interrupts Daniel] Is that doughnuts?

[Holds up the box, beaming] Indeed!

[a la Monty Burns] Excellent!

[Everyone is very drunk]

You are so wrong. It's a perfect analogy: Burns as Goa'uld.

They are merely animated characters, O'Neill.

You are so shallow.

Dr. Jackson

Oh, Please! Teal'c's like one of the deepest people I know. He's so deep. [to Teal'c] Come-come on, tell 'em how deep you are. [to O'Neill, excitedly] You'll be lucky if you understand this.

My depth is immaterial to this conversation.

Dr. Jackson

Oooo! Y'see!

No more beer for you.

I'm sorry, sir, but I have to agree. I don't see the connection.

All right, that does it. You know, the entire VHS collection was going to one of you. It's going to Siler. He gets it.

Dr. Jackson

I remember when we were first trying to get the Stargate to work, I would come here and just stare at it for hours.

Is that a gentle reminder that you've been an important part of this since the very beginning?

Dr. Jackson

Subtle, huh?

[It is also a lie, as Daniel never saw the stargate before he figured out how it worked]

[Master Bra'tac comes through the Stargate, walks down the ramp and gives Dr. Weir an odd look.]

Dr. Jackson

This is Dr. Elizabeth Weir. She's the new leader of this facility.

[Dr. Weir extends her hand.]

Hello.

Has Hammond of Texas fallen in battle?

Oh, no sir, he's fine!
