It's time for Plan B.
Maj. CarterWe have a Plan B?
No, but it's time for one.
[Referring to the movie Signs]
Maj. CarterSo they fly halfway across the galaxy, in a highly advanced spaceship, but they don't use their technology to take over the planet. You know what their weakness turned out to be? Water. I mean, if that's true, why go to all the trouble to invade a planet that's two-thirds water? Not to mention the rain.
Why do you watch those movies if all you're going to do is cut 'em up?
Maj. CarterCome on! Don't you occasionally like to see if they're getting it anywhere close to the truth?
We need a distraction
Maj. CarterGrenades?
Think Bigger
Maj. CarterClaymores?
[looking up at the dry dock with an unfinished mothership] Much bigger!
You're just sore that you lost.
Maj. CarterWell, come on. It wasn't fair! Bunch of cheaters…
So, whatcha gonna do?
Maj. CarterNext year, I'm gonna kick butt.
[handing Carter a thick binder] Major Carter, if you are to be my co-pilot, you will need to know how the ship works.
Maj. CarterWhat is this? [she opens the binder and begins to leaf through]
A complete operations manual for the Seberus, I had it translated for you.
Maj. CarterThank you!
[looking at the manual over Carter's shoulder] That's not our language!
Maj. CarterIt's mine, Sir.
I will go myself and pick one up after I get back from escorting Col. O'Neill, Dr. Jackson and Teal'c to the Hebridan capital building.
T, you coming?
Major Carter has requested that I remain, so that I may assist her.
She did?
Maj. CarterI did? Yes. Thank you.
I do not wish to disappoint Major Carter
Yes... I know the feeling.
Maj. CarterIt's an energy-based weapon, sir. It could, potentially, replace the missiles on the X-303.
Phaser?
More like a photon torpedo.
It's pretty cool, isn't it? You and I working together? We're sort of like the intellectual Butch and Sundance of the SGC.
Maj. CarterButch and Sundance got cornered and killed by the Bolivian army.
[Jaffa appear]
Maj. CarterWe've got trouble!
What kind of trouble?
Maj. CarterThink "Bolivia"!
[Speaking of the Hak'tyl]
I can't help but think of the ancient Greek amazon mythos.
Yes. Me too.
They were female warriors who occasionally captured men from other tribes in order to mate with them. Would often, um, would sometimes remove their right breasts so they could more easily fire a bow and arrow.
I see neither bow nor arrow.
No.
Wait, you don't s'pose that's why they want us, do you? You know, the three of us.
To...to mate with? No, I don't think so.
Cause you know me, I'm all for helping people.
Maj. Carter[laughing] Oh, God!
[To Ramius] Greetings! Well, uh, I know how this looks. So, I think it's important we clear up any misunderstanding right away. We did not come to kill you. Honest. Am I right!? The fact is, and this is the fun part, we actually came to save your ass...es. All your asses. Do you see the irony? All right, there's this guy out there, big guy, big guy in a black suit. None too fond of you Goa'ulds. Well, anyway, he's the one we're after, not you. So if you want to let us go, we'll be on our way, to save the world another da—you're not buying this, are you?
Jaffa, Move Out!
[Ramius and his guards leave]
Maj. CarterThat went well.
That went well.
Sam. Sam.
(grimacing) ugh.
No lie still. Where does it hurt?
Everywhere.
That's a good sign.
[Alone on Prometheus, Carter is hallucinating that the rest of SG-1 is with her.]
Maj. CarterWere you this annoying when you were ascended?
I dunno, depends on who you ask. I thought I had a certain je ne sais quoi. Timing was so-so.
Hey! Have I told you my latest theory yet? It's really cool. Lose something?
Maj. CarterDid you see a…
Little girl?
Maj. CarterYeah.
No.
All right Carter, come on, on your feet let's go.
Maj. CarterI was wondering when you were going to show up.
You just gonna sit there?
Maj. CarterToo tired sir.
Samantha, I'm a figment of your imagination. You're gonna call me Sir?
Maj. CarterOld habit. Sorry.
So, you gonna save yourself or what?
Maj. CarterI've tried.
Just giving up then?
Maj. CarterI just don't know what else to do right now.
You'll think of something.
Maj. CarterCame to give me a pep talk?
That's what friends are for.
Maj. CarterFriends...
Hey. This is you talking here. Might as well be honest.
Maj. CarterWhat if I quit the Air Force? Would that change anything or is it just an excuse?
I would never ask you to give up your career.
Maj. CarterBecause you don't feel anything for me?
Carter...
Maj. CarterI'd let you go right now if I knew.
That easy?
Maj. CarterI didn't say it would be easy.
Then what's stopping you if you really wanna know?
Maj. CarterI'm trying.
Maybe it's not me that's the problem here. Let's face it, I'm not that complex.
Maj. CarterMe?
Sam. I'm a safe bet.
Maj. CarterAs long as I'm thinking about you, setting my sights on what I think is unobtainable, there's no chance of being hurt by someone else.
Jacob was right. You deserve more. I will always be there for you, no matter what. Believe me.
Maj. CarterSo what now?
Go save your ass.
Maj. CarterOne last thing... [Sam imagines them kissing.] Never mind.
Hey.
Maj. CarterJack?
[Shocked] Excuse me?
Maj. CarterSorry, Sir.
Yes, well, a massive concussion will tend to disorient one.
Maj. CarterHow long was I out there?
It's all relative Carter, that whole time space continuum thing.
Maj. CarterSir...
Four days.
Maj. CarterCould have sworn it was weeks.
Teal'c and Daniel say 'Hi'. They're planning a little bit of a shindig for when you're up and around. There's talk of cake.
Maj. Carter[Smiles] Cake?
My idea!
Maj. CarterCan't wait.
Need anything? Magazine? Yo yo?
Maj. CarterI'm fine.
Yes you are.
Maj. CarterThank you Sir.
For what?
Maj. Carter... Nothing.
Think nothing of it. I've got plenty of that.
