[Jayem, a night guard of the museum, points a gun at Mitchell and Vala, and demands the freeing of the hostages]
Jackson.
Dr. JacksonMitchell, what's going on?
Well, we've got ourselves a bit of a John McClane here.
Dr. JacksonWha-what are you talking about?
[walking past Daniel] Die Hard.
(Vala is attempting to power the stargate with a Goa'uld bomb.)
There's a 70% chance that if we dial manually we'll be able to establish a connection, and a 50% chance the bomb will just go off.
That a 120%.
Well there's some crossover where we establish a wormhole and it blows up.
[on the radio] Jackson, did you catch any of that?
Dr. JacksonYeah, 100% chance we should have brought someone who knows what they're doing.
Well, what would be the harm in us just…whoops! failing to stop Teal'c from killing Arkad? It wouldn't be entirely on purpose and not out of…accidental incompetence either, if you catch my drift.
Dr. JacksonYes, nudge nudge, wink wink.
How do we get Arkad to tell us all the pieces of the puzzle?
Dr. JacksonOh, that's the easy part. See, we capture him, lock him in a room, and threaten to let Teal'c kill him.
So, what's the deal with the accent, or in your father's case, the lack thereof?
Well, the accent, like most of my other good qualities, I got from my mother. My charm, my wit, my good looks…
Dr. JacksonWhat'd you get from your dad?
Some minor food allergies.
You didn't trust him, but you talked me into coming here anyway?
Dr. JacksonEh. He’s not my father.
So…no IOA? No Reynolds’ men? No television program about dancing with supposed celebrities?
Dr. JacksonActually, that part was real.
[quietly] How very disturbing.
Stand back, I'm warning you!
Just take it easy!
Dr. JacksonIt's okay, we're not going to hurt you.
[Vala zats the Jaffa from behind]
Dr. JacksonMuch.
Time to go.
What about our arrangement?
Dr. JacksonOh, you mean the part where you string us along until you overcome the effects of the anti-Prior device? We'll pass.
Dr. JacksonI told you to bring something to amuse yourself. I didn't mean me or the crew.
They won't believe it's my birthday…again.
Dr. JacksonNot my problem.
Being stuck on this ship is worse than being stuck at the SGC! I tell you, the last time I was this bored, I took hostages!
Dr. JacksonI was there.
[regarding Thor and the other Asgard] Out of curiosity, how can you tell the difference?
Dr. JacksonThe voice.
[Michael Shanks, who plays Daniel, also provides the voice of Thor]
[The Odyssey is stuck in a time-dilation field].
The Asgard core has time dilation field technology built right into it. It was a quick and easy option. I'm actually gonna have to recreate some of Merlin's out-of-phase technology from scratch with what we have on-board. And it could take a while.
Dr. JacksonJust to be sure, how long is a-a while in our time?
I'm not exactly sure. But we have enough food and water for three months.
Three months?!
We can ration supplies.
[to Dr. Jackson] I'm gonna go crazy. And I'm taking you with me.
[The final scene of the series]
Dial it up, Walter.
Yes, sir. [starts dialing the Stargate] Chevron one encoded.
That is how we're supposed to travel light-years across the galaxy to other planets. [points at the spinning Gate]
Chevron two encoded.
[to Teal'c] You know, I'd like to imagine I handled myself well, but...I imagine I went a bit crazy cooped up on that ship for so long.
[Teal'c smiles]
Chevron three encoded.
Dr. JacksonYou know, Teal'c did tell me some of the things I learned from the Asgard database.
He did? Like what?
Dr. JacksonOh, boy. What were they?
Chevron four encoded.
Dr. JacksonBeggars can't be choosers. Better late than never. Look before you leap.
The best things in life are free.
Let me guess, beauty is only skin deep?
Dr. JacksonSilence is golden.
Chevron five encoded.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Life is too short.
Chevron six encoded.
Good things come to those who wait.
[to Teal'c] You know, as hard as it is for us not knowing, it must be torture for you not to tell us.
Indeed.
Chevron seven is locked.
Good luck, SG-1.
Just another everyday mission to save the galaxy, sir.
Indeed.
Godspeed.
