Next time I tell you to shut up...!

I didn't hear you tell me to shut up.

Too subtle for ya?

Well, for once, yes. Would you hear me out?

Carter, our standing orders, what are they?

Maj. Carter

To seek new allies and procure technologies to aid in the defense against the Goa'uld.

And have we carried out those orders?

We came here to help them!

Is that not what we are doing, Daniel Jackson?

No. Their whole world is in flames and we are offering them gasoline. How is that help?

We are in fact offering water.

[to Teal'c] Thank you!

I was speaking metaphorically.

Well, stop it! It's not fair to Teal'c.

WWaitress

What can I get you?

Uh, three of the biggest steaks you've got, with everything, rare, and a baked potato.

WWaitress

You got it! [She starts to walk off.]

Excuse me… that was for me!

[The waitress looks skeptical]

Yeah, I'm going to have three as well.

Four?

Four… Four is good.

Maj. Carter

Me too, and french fries with mine… oh and a diet soda!

[O'Neill and Jackson look at her questioningly]

Maj. Carter

[defensively] I like the taste better!

[SG-1 are at a local steakhouse, despite having been ordered to stay on base]

Maj. Carter

So, has it occurred to anyone that we're defying a direct order?

Well, it's not like we haven't defied orders before.

Maj. Carter

Yes, but that was to save Earth.

Earth. Steaks. There's a difference?

General, sir, about the obviously impending court martials...

GHGen. Hammond

You were all under the influence of an alien technology, Colonel. That's a pretty solid defense.

Even so, I'm sorry.

Maj. Carter

Me too.

Me three.

[pause, Teal'c glances at the others]

[smugly] I have no need to apologize.

GHGen. Hammond

Teal'c was actually following orders.

Of course he was.

Egeria, Roman goddess of fountains.

Fountains?

Also childbirth.

How do those two go together?

It doesn't matter. She was also adviser to Numa Pompilius, a legendary ruler.

Correct, Dr Jackson. Egeria came to the Tau'ri to stop the Goa'uld from taking humans through the Stargate as slaves. Ra found her and killed her, but not before she had spawned our movement.

Maj. Carter

Literally?

Yes.

Thanks for the image.

[O'Neill and Teal'c are wrestling with an alien archaeologist near a control system for an ancient device which he has activated. There is a blinding flash, and we suddenly cut to a shot of O'Neill in the mess hall, holding a spoonful of froot loops. He looks astonished. Slight pause, then cut to a shot of Jackson. He is gesticulating with a fork that has a piece of waffle on the end of it]

...Anyway, that's just how I feel about it. [pause] What do you think? [he looks expectantly at O'Neill]

[O'Neill looks confused]

What?

...What do you think?

About what?

Maj. Carter

Something wrong, sir?

[O'Neill looks around, disoriented]

...Maybe. [Title card roll]

...Weren't we just somewhere else?

Where?

Some planet.

When?

Just now.

Sure?

Yeah.

[O'Neill looks around, confused]

...Everything just changed.

We've done this!

We do this every day.

I'm not talking about briefings in general, Daniel, I'm talking about this briefing; I'm talking about this day.

Col. O'Neill is correct. Events do appear to be repeating themselves.

Since when?

Since we went to P4X-639.

Maj. Carter

We haven't been to P4X-639.

Yes we have. [points at Dr. Jackson] No, we haven't. That's what you were going to say.

Of course that's what I was going to say.

[pause]

Okay, bad example. Look, you'll all believe me when SG-12 comes through that gate in [he looks at his watch, ticking off seconds] four...three...two...one...

[he silently ticks off the final second, and when he reaches zero, he makes a flourishing gesture toward the gate room. Cut to a shot of Carter, looking confused, then to a shot of the unactivated gate, then back to O'Neill. He frowns and begins to tap his watch doubtfully]

GHGen. Hammond

[calmly] SG-12 isn't due back for three days.

[alarms go off]

TTechnician

[over loudspeaker] Unscheduled off-world activation!

[under his breath] So close.

[O'Neill correctly sums up what Carter was about to say]

Now, how did I know you were going to say that?

Maj. Carter

Maybe you read my report?

[more than a little skeptically] Maybe he read your report? [he narrows his eyes and raises his eyebrows questioningly at Carter]

[O'Neill enters the control room in civilian clothing]

George. [He hands Gen. Hammond a sheet of paper, pulls up his sleeve and examines his wristwatch]

GHGen. Hammond

Colonel, what are you doing out of uniform?

Handing you my resignation.

Maj. Carter

[shocked] Resigning? What for?

[looking at his watch and obviously measuring his words to coincide with the end of the time loop] So I can do...this. [He kisses Carter deeply just before the loop repeats]

[O'Neill is in the mess, sitting with Daniel and Carter. He is eating oatmeal with obvious relish]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone enjoy oatmeal so much.

When you've been eating Froot Loops for who knows how long, a little variety helps.

Maj. Carter

We got a message from the Tok'ra. Apparently they've been trying to contact us for over three months.

Really?

Maj. Carter

Who knows when they first realized we were cut off? I mean, there's really no telling how much time passed.

Let me ask you something. In all the time you were…looping, were you ever tempted to…do something crazy? I mean, you could do anything without worrying about consequences.

You know, it's funny, you've asked me that before. [looks at Carter]

[Looks at Carter and smiles, then looks back at O'Neill] ...And?

[O'Neill just looks at Carter, smiles, and takes a bite of oatmeal. Fade to credits.]

[an Unas alpha is approaching Jackson, clearly with the intent of attacking him. SG-1 raise their weapons]

Kaa kedka! [he cowers somewhat; the Unas stops short, surprised that Jackson speaks his language]

Maj. Carter

What did you just say?

I think I just asked him not to kill me.

And they're buying that?

[as the Unas alpha begins to growl] No, I don't think so.

Hey, what have you got?

Maj. Carter

The analysis of the atmosphere in the wake of the ship shows a high incidence of Sulphur Dioxide.

Chemical warfare?

Maj. Carter

I don’t think so sir. Take a look at this.

Oh yeah! Little fuzzy orange things!

Maj. Carter

They're Microbes, sir...
