[Carter is about to throw the Stargate from the Ha'tak to the sun]
[Maj. Carter exhales]
Something wrong?
Maj. CarterNo. I've just never blown up a star before.
Well, they say the first one's always the hardest.
Excuse me. I distinctly remember someone saying we're not going to make it. I think we made it.
I'm sorry, I overreacted. At the time, it looked very much like we weren't going to make it.
Yes, well, maybe next time you'll just wait and see.
And blow the last chance I might ever have to be right?
What?
[grinning] Welcome to my life.
Maj. CarterSo, is it working? Has he said anything?
Talked about fabric, briefly.
He just called me a woman.
So I think it's working.
Maj. CarterTense? Me? I'm not tense. Am I? [pause, then, with a worried look, sotto voce] When did you first notice?
[pointedly] As we met.
Maj. CarterI've always just thought of myself as being very ... [Makes a quoting motion] focused.
It's called working too hard ... you're gonna crash and burn.
Maj. Carter[Thinks] I really don't have that much more to do ... Sir.
Well, find something. Take up ... golf. [Walking away] Fly a kite ... knit something.
Maj. Carter[Slightly pissed expression] I...I'm...fine!...Really!
Uh ...[Turns] I could hang out for a while?
Maj. Carter[smiles] So far he's only shown himself to me.
Maybe he's shy.
Maj. Carter[Smiling and nodding] Please don't say "Take it easy."
[Goes to leave] Take care? [Maj. Carter smiles]
We brought dinner and a movie.
[holding up a video tape, enthusiastically] Star Wars!
Teal'c's seen it what, eight times?
Nine.
Nine times. If Teal'c likes it, it's gotta be OK.
Maj. CarterYou've never seen Star Wars?
Well, you know me and sci-fi...
Maj. CarterI was just wondering how far you'd got on the 636 translation.
Oh yes, I'm almost done. It miraculously seems to hold the key to all the mysteries of the universe.
Maj. CarterYou just got there, you haven't started, and I should leave you alone.
[Orlin presents Maj. Carter with a very large emerald]
Maj. CarterYou made it?
You wouldn't believe the things you can make from the common, simple items lying around your planet... which reminds me, you're going to need a new microwave.
[Maj. Carter sees Orlin has constructed a miniature Stargate in her basement]
Maj. CarterYou've been busy.
I didn't think they'd let me go back to Velona through their Stargate.
Maj. CarterSo you built one?
Sort of. This will not dial multiple addresses, it will only create a wormhole once and probably burn out.
Maj. CarterAnd you ordered the materials on-line?
Mostly. Sorry but you're going to have a pretty big credit card bill this month. Oh, and you're going to need a new toaster.
Maj. CarterSir, I've been thinking.
I'd be shocked if you ever stopped, Carter.
Carter? What just happened? (She looks up at the sky, confused)
The Eye of Odin grows dim.
Maj. CarterSome sort of shift in the light frequency.
Good. I thought I was having a stroke.
[referring to Carter's plan] I thought the odds of success in this scenario were one in a million, Major.
Maj. CarterYes, sir. But I now think that we can increase that estimate to one percent.
It's your call, General. I only understand only one percent of what she says half the time.
[Carter explains a plan to Gen. Hammond and Col. O'Neill to save K'Tau]
I thought when something was in a wormhole, it existed only as energy,that you needed another Stargate to turn it back into solid matter.
Maj. CarterActually, you're absolutely correct, sir.
[O'Neill stares at Carter and says nothing for few seconds]
I am?
Maj. CarterYes.
[While Carter continues to explain, O'Neill turns back to Gen. Hammond and grins]
Maj. CarterDaniel and Teal'c?
They're in the village. Still trying to convince the folks we're friendly elves.
