GOGen. O'Neill
Still no, Daniel.
But it doesn't have to be on a permanent basis!
GOGen. O'Neill
I didn't let you go in the first place. What makes you think I'm gonna change my mind?
GOGen. O'Neill
Can you try to do better than that?
Because they're going to need somebody who can translate Ancient. I'm the most qualified person left on the planet for the mission.
GOGen. O'Neill
Which is exactly why you're gonna stay right here.
[desperately] Because I'll quit!
GOGen. O'Neill
Why don't you just hold your breath? You haven't done that in a while.
[Jack and Daniel are arguing over Daniel going to Atlantis and find General Hammond in Jack's chair in his office.]
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Jack. I let myself in, hope you don't mind.
GOGen. O'Neill
Absolutely not! Welcome.
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Thank you.
GOGen. O'Neill
Miss the chair?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Actually I do.
GOGen. O'Neill
Want it back?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
As a matter of fact I do. My new one just isn't the same.
GOGen. O'Neill
That's not exactly what I meant...
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Doctor Jackson. Nice to see you again.
Likewise. We miss you around here, sir. [Jack gives him an angry stare] So, to what do we owe this pleasure?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
I came to see if you were interested in joining the mission to Atlantis.
Gen. O'Neill & Daniel Jackson: You did?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
He's the most qualified person on this planet, and the mission commander needs someone who can translate Ancient.
GOGen. O'Neill
With all due respect, sir, I think you should tell the mission commander that I need Daniel right here.
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
You just did.
GOGen. O'Neill
I did. I did? [pauses] You, sir?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Yes. Request denied. Doctor Jackson, you're with me. I'll have this chair shipped to Washington. You can requisition a new one.
GOGen. O'Neill
I'll do that, sir.
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
We leave tomorrow. Oh, and I'll be taking Walter, too.
[Hammond leaves, while O'Neill wears the expression of one who has no idea what just happened]
[A Kull warrior has taken over the Prometheus, and has Jackson tied to the captain's chair.]
KWKull Warrior
I transported them onto the al'kesh.
Well, you kept the wrong guy, 'cause I don't know anything about the ship.
KWKull Warrior
But you are very attractive.
[The warrior moves in front of Daniel and straddles his legs]
[trying to squirm away] Hey, you know, big guy, I'm flattered, really I am, it's just that, uh, you're not my type. And I'm more than a little disturbed that I might be yours.
[Vala wakes up in the Prometheus holding cell, dressed in SGC fatigues instead of her zat-resistant bodysuit]
Did you have fun taking off my clothes?
No, I meant while I was conscious. You know, so I could distract you and kick you in the head.
