Scenes with Daniel Jackson 399

[SG-1 is discussing Sokar]

Which is he?

Dr. Jackson

I don't know, but his portion of Tuat, or the otherworld, was filled with lakes of fire, where the wicked were thrown into as punishment after torture and mutilation.

Hell.

Dr. Jackson

Yeah, basically, he was the original Satan.

Well, isn't that special?

Describe for me... the dress your sister wore last week when I took her out.

Dr. Jackson

[In Ma'chello's body] I don't have a sister, Jack. And if I did, I wouldn't let you near her.

Dr. Jackson

Déjà vu.

I am unfamiliar with that term.

Dr. Jackson

It means, "I feel like I've been here before."

That is correct, Daniel Jackson. Yesterday, when we first arrived on this planet.

Dr. Jackson

[Pause] Right. What was I thinking?

Dr. Jackson

Well, I have to admit this is one of the stranger cultures I've ever seen. As far as I can tell, they're communal, but there's very little sign of actual social communication. I haven't seen any tools or signs of a functional civilization.

So they're a little less evolved than we are.

Dr. Jackson

Well, we don't wanna jump to any conclusions. Remember the Nox.

And they did build these...homes.

That's a kind appraisal. What about the UAV?

Dr. Jackson

Well, I've tried everything I know about rudimentary communication, and to be honest, I've had more successful conversations with dogs.

So...

Dr. Jackson

So they're probably a little less evolved than we are.

Well, we're not gonna stand around doing nothing.

Dr. Jackson

We're not doing nothing.

You're videotaping a plant.

Dr. Jackson

Well, I think this might be important.

Well, I think you might be losing what's left of your mind.

Dr. Jackson

[Pause] ... What's that supposed to mean?

It means that on a good day, you can be a little flaky.

Dr. Jackson

And on a good day you can be a little ignorant and condescending.

Not condescending. You're obviously misreading a basic philosophical difference in opinion on how to handle a crisis.

Dr. Jackson

Oh, please! We have a-a difference of opinion on just about everything.

Gimme an example.

Dr. Jackson

I dunno, pick something! How about -- how about mythology?

Rumors, lies, fairytales.

Dr. Jackson

[Finally losing it, jumping around in a frustrated circle] Y'see?! See? See? See? See?? See?? Mythology is one of the primary motivations for cultural development!

Maybe it is; what's that got to do with filming a plant?!

Dr. Jackson

Exactly!

What does that mean?!

Dr. Jackson

I don't know!

[A guard comes to get the SG-1 team.]

GGuard

[in Russian] Вы советские шпионы? [Are you Soviet spies?]

Dr. Jackson

[in Russian] Нет. [No.]

Daniel?

Dr. Jackson

He just asked if we were Soviet spies… oh.

Nyet?!
