Who are you?
You go first.
[picking up a knife] You claim you do not know me?
Well, take no offense there, Skippy, I'm sure you're a real hot, important Goa'uld, I've just always been kind of out of the loop with the snake thing.
I am Ba'al.
That's it? Just "Ball"? As in "bocce"?
Do you not know the pain you will suffer for this impudence? [aims the knife at Jack]
I don't know the meaning of the word. Seriously. "Impudence." What does that mean?
Hi, Jack. [waves]
Daniel?
I leave and look at the mess you get yourself into.
It's good to see you.
Yeah. You too. Shame you're a delusion.
No, I'm here. I'm...really here.
Sure you are.
[O'Neill removes his shoe and tosses it at Jackson. The shoe passes right through him]
Here in the sense that my consciousness is here, if not here in the full physical flesh and blood sense, which is really...neither...here nor there. The point is, you're not imagining this.
I just tossed my shoe through you!
I'm energy now…
How's that workin' out for ya?
Good, actually. Very…
Good.
Very good.
So show me your stuff. Bust me out of here.
I can't…
Why not?
I'm not allowed to interfere.
You're interfering right now.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not. I am consoling a friend.
So… you wanna be my Oma?
You could put it that way. I mean, I wouldn't, but maybe that's just me.
Jack, who are you talking to?
The woman.
[looks up] There's nobody there.
Look who's talking.
Come on, Jack. Y-You think the Asgard named a-a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? Now's not the time to play dumb, you're a lot smarter than that. They saw our potential in you…because of who you are and what you've done. Humanity's potential. That's the same thing Oma saw in me.
I am not you.
Yeah, when has that ever stopped you from doing anything?
Okay… put yourself in my shoes and me in yours.
You'd be here for me.
Damn straight! I'd have busted you out, blown this rat hole to hell and made sure that son-of-a-bitch suffered!
The Others would have stopped you.
They'd have a hell of a fight on their hands.
You wouldn't do that.
Ba'al would be dead.
Jack—
And don't think I'd stop there!
[forcefully] You're a better man than that!
[yelling] That's where you're wrong!
What I'm offering you is your only way out.
You're wrong about that too. I have another choice.
What are you talking about?
[O'Neill gives Jackson a significant look]
No.
Any minute, they're gonna come. Ba'al is gonna kill me again. You can make it the last time.
Don't ask me to do that.
You can put an end to it.
I won't do it.
I'd do it for you, and you know it. I don't want to see this cell again, Daniel.
Look, I know you don't think so…right now, I mean, I know you have your doubts, but uh…because you've been through something that no one should have to go through... I guess what I'm trying to say is…you're going to be all right.
How do you know?
You're just going to have to trust me.
I always seem to be saying goodbye to you.
Yeah, I noticed that. Why don't you stick around for a while?
I can't, really.
You just did.
Special occasion.
Christmas?
No.
Groundhog Day?
[trying not to smile] Nooo.
I've got my journey, you got yours?
Something like that, yeah.
If I'm catchin' the next plane of existence outta here, you gotta give me somethin'.
It's your journey. No one but you can choose what you become or the path you take. All I can promise you is it will be an amazing journey. Once you release your burden.
Daniel, so help me, if you start talkin' like Oma…
I'm not talking like Oma Desala.
Sounds like Oma to me.
No, no, no…see, Oma Desala would say something like…uh, uh, if you know the candle is fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago or something like that.
Why?
To open your mind.
Though a candle burns in my house…there's nobody home.
