GHGen. Hammond
I will draft a letter to the Kelownan leader—
General, you cannot capitulate to these people. They are lying bastards.
I only agreed to bring that letter so I could see you.
Why?
Because Daniel is dying.
And you're looking for someone to blame?
I'm not gonna let you tarnish his name. See, I don't care what that stuff is worth, to anyone. My government will admit Daniel is guilty over my dead body.
I'm really bad at this.
Yes, you are.
You're not gonna take the fall for this. I don't care what's at stake.
Why do you care?
Because, despite the fact that you've been a terrific pain in the ass for the last five years, I may have... might have... uh, grown to admire you a little.... I think.
[dryly] Now that's touching.
[insistent] This will not be your last act on official record.
You have an effect on people, Daniel. The way you look at things, it changed me too. I see what really matters. I don't know why we wait to tell people how we really feel. I guess I hoped that you always knew.
If you are to die, Daniel Jackson, I wish you to know that I believe that the fight against the Goa'uld will have lost one of its greatest warriors. And I will have lost one of my greatest friends.
No offense, I'm just more interested in what's out there, through the Stargate.
Well, all I can say is, whatever problems there are between your planet's nations, they will seem insignificant when you do find out what's going on out there.
Because it is so clear it takes a long time to realize it. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.
Yeah, yeah, a monk at Kheb said that to me. I didn't know what it meant then and I still don't know now.
The universe is vast, and we are so small. In the end, there is only one thing we can truly control.
Yeah, what's that?
Whether we are good, or evil.
I'm gonna miss you guys.
Yeah, you too.
Thank you. For everything.
So, what? See you around?
I don't know.
Hey… where are you going?
I don't know.
