How long?
Uh, well days, weeks, months, maybe…of meticulous, tedious... boring tediousness.
[O'Neill walks off]
But uh, I can just keep working now. By lunch at least.

How long?
Uh, well days, weeks, months, maybe…of meticulous, tedious... boring tediousness.
[O'Neill walks off]
But uh, I can just keep working now. By lunch at least.
Tense? Me? I'm not tense. Am I? [pause, then, with a worried look, sotto voce] When did you first notice?
[pointedly] As we met.
I've always just thought of myself as being very ... [Makes a quoting motion] focused.
It's called working too hard ... you're gonna crash and burn.
[Thinks] I really don't have that much more to do ... Sir.
Well, find something. Take up ... golf. [Walking away] Fly a kite ... knit something.
[Slightly pissed expression] I...I'm...fine!...Really!
Uh ...[Turns] I could hang out for a while?
[smiles] So far he's only shown himself to me.
Maybe he's shy.
[Smiling and nodding] Please don't say "Take it easy."
[Goes to leave] Take care? [Maj. Carter smiles]
We brought dinner and a movie.
[holding up a video tape, enthusiastically] Star Wars!
Teal'c's seen it what, eight times?
Nine.
Nine times. If Teal'c likes it, it's gotta be OK.
You've never seen Star Wars?
Well, you know me and sci-fi...
I have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of Jell-O.
[Tossing Teal'c his cell phone] Call Daniel.
I was just wondering how far you'd got on the 636 translation.
Oh yes, I'm almost done. It miraculously seems to hold the key to all the mysteries of the universe.
You just got there, you haven't started, and I should leave you alone.
[Orlin presents Maj. Carter with a very large emerald]
You made it?
You wouldn't believe the things you can make from the common, simple items lying around your planet... which reminds me, you're going to need a new microwave.
[Maj. Carter sees Orlin has constructed a miniature Stargate in her basement]
You've been busy.
I didn't think they'd let me go back to Velona through their Stargate.
So you built one?
Sort of. This will not dial multiple addresses, it will only create a wormhole once and probably burn out.
And you ordered the materials on-line?
Mostly. Sorry but you're going to have a pretty big credit card bill this month. Oh, and you're going to need a new toaster.
Need I remind you, Dr Jackson, of the dangers that we're trying to defend Earth against?
Oh, could you? Go slow.
Do you believe Major Carter has become mentally unstable?
No more than the rest of us.
