[Workers are delivering stacks of boxes to Jackson's lab, much to his surprise]
GO Gen. O'Neill
[as he receives a clipboard from Siler] You been shoppin' online lately?
What are you talkin' about?
GO Gen. O'Neill
[as he hands clipboard to Daniel] Well, you've got a little delivery here.
[looks at clipboard] It's from Catherine's estate.
GO Gen. O'Neill
Yeah – kinda looks like she sent the whole thing.
[as he enters his office] Holy ... buckets! Looks like her entire collection!
GO Gen. O'Neill
[pats Daniel on the shoulder] I prefer stamps.
[Dr. Balinsky is enthusiastically showing rocks to a clearly bored O'Neill.]
Now, in addition, we discovered several grains of troilite and a mesostasis phase which contained micrometer crystals.
Now it's undergoing further testing, but we hope to have the results on your desk first thing tomorrow morning.
GO Gen. O'Neill
[sarcastic] Don't you keep me waiting!
[missing the sarcasm] No, sir! Now here's where things get really interesting, because you will notice in this fissure—
[Dr. Jackson runs into the room]
Jack! We need—we need to talk. Oh, sorry for interrupting.
GO Gen. O'Neill
[desperately grabbing Jackson's arm] No, it's okay! If it's important, you must interrupt. You must!
We don't know where it is now. But we do know where it was ... Giza, 3000 B.C.
[shaking her head] You can't be serious.
GO Gen. O'Neill
If I have to say "what" one more time, heads are gonna roll!
We have a time machine. We can go back and get the ZPM.
GO Gen. O'Neill
She wouldn't let me go back and watch the Cubs win the World Series.
[After arriving in Ancient Egypt c. 3000 B.C.]
[excitedly] I can't believe I'm finally gonna prove that the Great Pyramids predate the 4th dynasty.
So, what are you gonna do? Stand in the picture holding a newspaper with today's date?
I'm sorry, I keep thinking I'm gonna step on a bug and change the future.
[Teal'c has disguised himself as one of Ra's Jaffa in order to steal the ZPM from Ra's treasure room]
GO Gen. O'Neill
Do you really think they're just going to let him waltz in and take it?
Like I said, they don't even know what a ZPM is. To them it's like any number of dozens of ritualistic objects they pull out for any number of occasions. Besides, he's wearing the shiny suit.
[In an alternate time line, Carter is practicing what she wants to say to her male boss.]
Just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't— God that's horrible! Who would ever say that?
[In an alternate time line, Daniel Jackson teaches English as a second language.]
Okay, uh, let's start with a simple greeting. Often the best way to begin interacting with someone is to find a topic of common interest. Everyone can relate to the weather, so let's start with that, shall we? Introduce yourself... and talk about the weather.
[A student raises his hand.]
[pointing at the student] Yes.
C Carlos
[standing up] Hello, my name is Carlos. You make me so hot.
[pause]
[smiling uncomfortably] Okay, uh, not quite right, but the introduction part was good.
