(in a female voice) [torturing Sam with a hand device] Once more: Where is Dr. Jackson?
Maj. CarterHe's dead.
(in a female voice) You're lying.
Maj. CarterGo to hell.
Still sexy as ever I see.
Maj. CarterWhat are you doing here?
Well, there is no point of building naquadah reactors for Russia if there isn't going to be a Russia, is there? The Pentagon thought you... might need some help.
Maj. CarterNot from you.
Maj. CarterNavigation?
Check.
Maj. CarterOxygen pressure, temperature control?
All Check.
Maj. CarterInertial dampeners?
Cool! ...and check.
Maj. CarterEngines?
All check. Phasers?
Maj. Carter(smiling) Sorry, sir.
Maj. CarterSir, the simulations we ran anticipated every conceivable scenario.
You know, Carter, it's the inconceivable ones I'm concerned about.
[Col. O'Neill finds Carter sitting in her lab]
I thought you'd be down stairs working this thing out with all the other egg-heads.
[Carter gives O'Neill a look]
Not that you're an egg-head. [Pauses] OK, you are, actually, but in a good way.
Maj. CarterI couldn't think down there. They all kept looking at me for the answer.
Well, you do have a penchant for pulling brilliant ideas out of your butt.
[Carter gives O'Neill a look]
Head! Out of your head.
Maj. CarterYou have a habit of seeing things... [Hesitates]...in their simplest form.
[pause]
I'm gonna go eat some cake.
Maj. CarterI think I'll join you.
[A hologram of Anubis appears in front of the Stargate]
I am Anubis.
Maj. Carter[to O'Neill] It looks like a hologram projection, sir.
Humans of the Tau'ri. Your end of days finally approaches. There will be no mercy.
[to Maj. Carter] Oh, come on. Who talks like that?
Maj. CarterSir, this is Asgard technology. He must have downloaded it from Thor.
You will bow to my awesome power. There is nothing that can stop the destruction I bring upon you. Prepare to meet your doom.
Oh, please.
[About the failed mission with the X-302]
Maj. CarterThey're still analyzing the flight data recorder, but it looks like a 605-3 error.
Forgive me?
It's the one after 605-2, sir.
[about Anubis] Has a real flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? Very theatrical.
Maj. CarterYeah, pretty much all the Goa'uld are like that.
But, why wait? Why does this guy show up a day and a half after this all starts to do his whole "prepare to meet your doom" thing?
Maj. CarterI don't know, maybe he wanted to make sure it was gonna work.
Yeah, that would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? [pretending to be Anubis] "Nothing can stop the destruction that I bring upon you!" And then the Gate shuts down. [again pretending to be Anubis] "Oops, sorry, never mind."
Maj. CarterYeah, well, that didn't happen, and we only have fifty-four hours left.
Maj. CarterSo, what? We call Anubis up and ask him to stop?
Yeah, "Hey, Anubis, this is your agent, you're playing it way over the top, can you get serious, please?"
Maj. CarterFor the record, I hate you.
Well, it can't get any worse, then, can it?
Maj. CarterOh, no I'm rapidly working up to despise.
[McKay goes to visit Carter in the infirmary, as she recovers from electrical burns]
Hi.
Maj. CarterOh, man, and I was just starting to feel better.
[takes a deep breath, appearing to be relaxing] I always wanted to be a pianist.
Maj. Carter[Thinking McKay said "penis"] Excuse me?
A concert pianist --- you know, a guy who plays the piano [he mimes playing the piano] in front of lots of people?
Maj. Carter[Sam smiles] Right.
What did you think I said?
Maj. CarterNever mind.
I had a not-so-comfortable childhood. My parents hated each other. Blamed me. Music was my salvation. It had this ... perfect order for me.
Maj. Carter[smiles, patronizing] That's nice, really.
When I was 12, my teacher told me to quit. A fine clinical player, he said, but no sense of the art whatsoever.
Maj. CarterWhy are you telling me this?
I'm just ... trying to bond.
Maj. CarterWhy?
Hospital gowns turn me on. [He smiles] I turned to science because I thought it would be different than music, but it isn't. It's just the same, it's just as much of an art as anything else.
Maj. CarterLook, it's not your fault that the EM pulse didn't work.
You're an artist, Major. Maybe the best I've ever seen. I'm just critical because I'm jealous.
Maj. CarterI'm touched, really. I wish I had a brilliant plan to draw up for you.
And you're funny, too. Even electrocuted. I mean, I've ... I've got nothing.
Maj. CarterYou're creeping me out, McKay.
[McKay looks down into the gate room, where Jonas is staring at the gate]
What do you think the little alien guy's doing down there?
[Sam goes down to the gate room]
Maj. CarterBet you regret coming here now.
Can't really look at it that way, can we?
Maj. CarterSo... what are you doing?
You know, it's the stupidest thing, but it's been bugging me since I got here.
Maj. CarterWhat's that?
We're inside a mountain. The gate obviously can't fit through any of these doors...
Maj. CarterSo how did it get in here? The ceiling retracts. [She points] Above it is a shaft that leads to the surface, and inside is a crane mechanism that hoisted the gate down.
Interesting. Does it go up?
Maj. CarterThey're working on lightening the 302, but that's why you're going alone. Believe it or not, every pound counts.
I shouldn't have had that cake.
Maj. CarterI wish I could go with you Sir.
Yes, I'm sure you do. [Stepping in the elevator] And I find that quite bizarre.
[Carter kisses McKay on the cheek]
[thrilled] That means you don't hate me.
Major CarterMaybe. Too bad for you.
Why?
Major CarterI was more attracted to you when I did.
