Déjà vu.
I am unfamiliar with that term.
It means, "I feel like I've been here before."
That is correct, Daniel Jackson. Yesterday, when we first arrived on this planet.
[Pause] Right. What was I thinking?
“One False Step” · Season 2, Episode 19
In this episode: Jack O'Neill (6), Daniel Jackson (5), Samantha Carter (2), Teal'c (2), George Hammond (1)
Well, I have to admit this is one of the stranger cultures I've ever seen. As far as I can tell, they're communal, but there's very little sign of actual social communication. I haven't seen any tools or signs of a functional civilization.
So they're a little less evolved than we are.
Well, we don't wanna jump to any conclusions. Remember the Nox.
And they did build these...homes.
That's a kind appraisal. What about the UAV?
Well, I've tried everything I know about rudimentary communication, and to be honest, I've had more successful conversations with dogs.
So...
So they're probably a little less evolved than we are.
Can you do me a favor? Could you keep an eye on this plant thing for me?
I will keep both of my eyes on it, Daniel Jackson.
Witness if you will: Squat.
Well, we're not gonna stand around doing nothing.
We're not doing nothing.
You're videotaping a plant.
Well, I think this might be important.
Well, I think you might be losing what's left of your mind.
[Pause] ... What's that supposed to mean?
It means that on a good day, you can be a little flaky.
And on a good day you can be a little ignorant and condescending.
Not condescending. You're obviously misreading a basic philosophical difference in opinion on how to handle a crisis.
Oh, please! We have a-a difference of opinion on just about everything.
Gimme an example.
I dunno, pick something! How about -- how about mythology?
Rumors, lies, fairytales.
[Finally losing it, jumping around in a frustrated circle] Y'see?! See? See? See? See?? See?? Mythology is one of the primary motivations for cultural development!
Maybe it is; what's that got to do with filming a plant?!
Exactly!
What does that mean?!
I don't know!
Y'know I thought the alien on the video looked fairly docile, more curious than harmful.
I thought it looked... bald, white and naked.
GHGen. Hammond
So this inaudible sound was making you sick, but not in the same way that it was affecting the aliens? They need the sound to live but we altered it by harming the organism that makes the sound?
Sounds right.
The plant is making that sound?!
Sir, it's an alien organism on another planet.
Good point.
