Scenes with Samantha Carter 325

Anubis could not have missed our arrival.

You are correct. Alkesh and gliders approach. Many.

[Cut to the outside with the hovering shuttle burning through the ice with a white hot beam. In the distance a large swarm of gliders and several Alkesh bear down upon the shuttle.]

They will be in firing range in thirty seconds. More ships approach from the opposite direction.

Maj. Carter

[turning to the back of the shuttle's cargo bay where O'Neill is] Sir! We are about to get our ...!

They are NOT Goa'uld.

[Outside the swarm of Goa'uld ships fly in a tight formation when suddenly two missles hit one of the Alkesh blowing it from the sky. More missles hit, blowing apart gliders and Alkesh as several squadrons of F-302 fighters intercept the Goa'uld ships bringing them down short of the shuttle. Behind the fighters the massive Prometheus slides over the shuttle shielding it from further attacks.]

GHGen. Hammond

[On the bridge of the Prometheus] Protect that scout ship at all costs!

[SG-1 has just placed a dying O'Neill in stasis]

Maj. Carter

We can't just leave him like this! Th-there has to be a way to reverse the process. The answer has to be here.

I don't think this is it, Sam.

Maj. Carter

What do you mean?

The dome is too small. It's like Taonas. It's obviously not a city, it's just an outpost of some kind.

Maj. Carter

This isn't Atlantis?

I don't think so.

If this is not the Lost City...then where is it?

[Maj. Carter enters Dr Weir's office]

Maj. Carter

That cargo ship was modified using the knowledge of the Ancients. Now, there is no guarantee that anyone will ever be able to figure out how it was done.

And as the most likely person on the planet to figure it out, are you saying that if I don’t let you attempt to contact the Asgard, you won’t even try?

Maj. Carter

(smiling sarcastically): I would never say that.

Time space distortions caused by the black hole have been interfering with my ship's long-range communications.

Maj. Carter

Understandable.

Indeed. For some.

So, how's the new job?

GOGen. O'Neill

Oy! One crisis after another. This morning the mess got a shipment of Yukon Gold potatoes instead of the usual Russets.

[sarcastic] No!

GOGen. O'Neill

Oh, yes! The Golds don't make for good mash. Consistency's all wrong.

Lt. Col. Carter

I hear the new Russian Colonel came to see you, made a pitch to join SG-1.

GOGen. O'Neill

Yeah.

What'd you say?

GOGen. O'Neill

Told 'em to make french fries instead.

Lt. Col. Carter

Did you notice anything peculiar about him, sir?

GOGen. O'Neill

I thought it odd he was shooting up the Gate room.

Lt. Col. Carter

Sir, you may have done it again.

GOGen. O'Neill

Yes. How did I do it this time?

Lt. Col. Carter

[ranting to Daniel and Teal'c] They make you afraid of being alone but at the same time tell you not to settle for anything less than the perfect romantic ideal, like that actually exists anywhere in the real world. Either way, you can't win.

[to Sam, innocently] How's things?

Lt. Col. Carter

Good. We were talking about Teal'c's friend, right?

I thought we were.

They want a what?

SCSam Carter

A goat, sir.

You can tell them that lamb is far less gamy.

SCSam Carter

They want it for a ritual sacrifice.

Yeah, well you can tell them that's not going to happen.

SCSam Carter

Yeah, I was hoping you were going to say that.

They can have a piñata. That's always fun.

You have untapped greatness inside you, Sam, but you're limited by your own fears. You play by the rules, you do as you're told and you deny yourself your own desires.

Lt. Col. Carter

I have no desire to rule the galaxy, believe me.

All humans desire power. It's just that most of them are never in a position to attain it.

Lt. Col. Carter

So, any big plans for the weekend?

GOGen. O'Neill

Oh yeah, big. Huge!

Lt. Col. Carter

Yeah, me neither.

GOGen. O'Neill

Oh, what are you talkin' about? I just walked in with a whole handful of ingredients for my world-famous omelettes.

Lt. Col. Carter

World-famous, huh? What's in it?

GOGen. O'Neill

Eggs.

Lt. Col. Carter

I don't think that that actually qualifies as a recipe.

GOGen. O'Neill

Oh, don't kid yourself. There's a secret ingredient. I can't tell you what it is, or I'd have to shoot you.

Lt. Col. Carter

It's beer, isn't it?

Lt. Col. Carter

If General O'Neill had a stone as well shouldn't he've been able to see aspects of his life?

Theoretically, yes he should.

[we see flashes of Joe at a bowling alley. He rolls a strike]

GOGen. O'Neill

...Thursday nights... Bowling League...

You saw that?

GOGen. O'Neill

You've got game son.

Wait a minute. Jack, you've been seeing parts of the life of a barber in Indiana for seven years, and you never mentioned it?

GOGen. O'Neill

Yeah, sure I did. I know I did.

Lt. Col. Carter

No, no, you didn't, sir.

GOGen. O'Neill

I didn't?

You didn't find it the least bit odd?

GOGen. O'Neill

Actually no. I found it quite relaxing.

Come on, Sam. It can't be any harder than blowing up a sun.

LCLt. Col. Carter

You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.

[What they are attempting suddenly works.]

LCLt. Col. Carter

Next up, parting the Red Sea!

LCLt. Col. Carter

Well, we have no idea how this Ancient device works or what the effects will be, but since Anubis has no real corporeal form it's likely he would survive it.

He'll have no one left to rule.

LCLt. Col. Carter

For now. Time may not even be an issue for someone like him. He could essentially start over, re-populate the galaxy to his own specifications.

GOGen. O'Neill

A little ambitious.
