[Talking to Dr. Jackson over the phone]
No, no, no, wait. Don't hang up. I need a seven-letter word.
I told Sam I wouldn't help you.
Well then, this will be the one thing she doesn't know. "Up, Down, Charm"... Blank.
Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
No, the word you're looking for is... [O'Neill hangs up]
[Cut to Colonel O'Neill stepping out of the elevator where Daniel, Teal'c and Sam are waiting impatiently]
How long have you been standing there?
You said half an hour an hour ago.
General Hammond is waiting for us.
[Colonel O'Neill hands Maj. Carter the crossword puzzle]
The fate of the universe is hanging in the balance and you've been sitting in your truck finishing this?
I believe the bet was double or nothing. [SG1 begins walking up the stairs towards the briefing room]
Okay, 23 across, "the atomic weight of boron." The answer is ten.
... It will overwhelm his nervous system, and the Colonel will....
What? Meet my maker? Pay the piper? Reach the pearly gates? Start pushing up daisies here and there?
GHGen. Hammond
Colonel, you should be in the infirmary.
Why? We all know exactly what's gonna happen. In a few days I start speaking some strange language. A few days after that I start doing things beyond my control, and a few days after that, it's goodnight my someone, goodnight. So with your permission sir I'd like to take the weekend to get some personal things together.
The last time, it did take a couple of days before we noticed any change in the Colonel's behavior.
I'll be back on Monday ready to work.
GHGen. Hammond
Permission granted.
Thank you sir. Now if you'll excuse me, my favorite television show starts in half an hour. [He walks away]
Sir? [Sits down next to him on the sofa]
[After a long pause of her just staring at him] What?
What? Stuck your head in that thing? Are you nuts? Carter. You're one of this country's natural resources. If not National treasures. It couldn't have gone down any other way. I just hope it's worth it...
Even if we do find the Lost City. Even if we get there and find exactly what we're looking for to defend the planet....
[Interrupts her] THAT ... would be worth it. [Jack and Sam stare at each other until a knock at the door interrupts their moment]
[Opens the front door and pops his head in] Hello!?
[Sam smiles in disappointment. Jack sideways glances at her before calling out to Daniel and Teal'c] In here!
[He and Teal’c slowly walk in the door. They peer around the corner ans see Sam and Jack sitting close] Oh sorry, are we interrupting anything?
COCol. O'Neill and Maj. Carter
[Dismissively] No...
Oh we ... well it's ... it's a funny story actually. We, we, ah, were driving by and we, uh ... saw Sam's car in the driveway, and ... and ... uh ...
[Nudging Sam's arm, sarcastically] Funny.
... Teal'c said to me. Well he didn't actually say anything. He just kinda looked at me and did that eyebrow raise thing that he kinda does and I said to him, I said 'hey, why don't we stop by and'...
[Interrupts Daniel] Is that doughnuts?
[Holds up the box, beaming] Indeed!
[a la Monty Burns] Excellent!
[Everyone is very drunk]
You are so wrong. It's a perfect analogy: Burns as Goa'uld.
They are merely animated characters, O'Neill.
Oh, Please! Teal'c's like one of the deepest people I know. He's so deep. [to Teal'c] Come-come on, tell 'em how deep you are. [to O'Neill, excitedly] You'll be lucky if you understand this.
My depth is immaterial to this conversation.
I'm sorry, sir, but I have to agree. I don't see the connection.
All right, that does it. You know, the entire VHS collection was going to one of you. It's going to Siler. He gets it.
I remember when we were first trying to get the Stargate to work, I would come here and just stare at it for hours.
Is that a gentle reminder that you've been an important part of this since the very beginning?
[It is also a lie, as Daniel never saw the stargate before he figured out how it worked]
[Master Bra'tac comes through the Stargate, walks down the ramp and gives Dr. Weir an odd look.]
This is Dr. Elizabeth Weir. She's the new leader of this facility.
[Dr. Weir extends her hand.]
Has Hammond of Texas fallen in battle?
I am Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Colonel.
VPVice President Kinsey
You can just call her your one hope of ever stepping through the stargate again.
I know I'm playing catch-up, but uh, I understand time is short.
Actually it's all relative, ma'am; Carter could explain it better if we had more time.
