“Camelot” quotes from Stargate SG-1

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Hey, has anyone stopped to figure out how this thing might work? I mean, how do you kill something that's pure energy?

Dr. Jackson

Well, Merlin's research said nothing about killing. A more accurate translation would be "neutralize" or "cancel out".

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Well, that still begs a lot of questions. How do you aim at something you can't see?

Dr. Jackson

Clearly, it can't be a weapon in the conventional sense. See, ascended beings transcend ordinary space time as we know it. This device would have to do the same thing.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

In other words, you have no idea what it might be.

Dr. Jackson

Yeah, pretty much.

Lt. Colonel Carter

This sure looks like the place where Merlin might have lived.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

There could be dozens of villages in the area, just like this one. There is no way to be sure.

Dr. Jackson

Well... there is that... [points to a sword in a stone]

Dr. Jackson

This is interesting. It's a reference to Merlin's prophetic abilities. There's a similar myth on Earth. That Merlin could see the future because he actually aged backwards in time. It's not meant to be taken literally, but we have seen a lot of legends and folklore have a strong basis in fact -- Avalon, Atlantis.

Teal'c

The Easter bunny.

Dr. Jackson

I guess there's a few exceptions.

Dr. Jackson

[sarcastically] Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

No, I wasn't sleeping. Was Kel'no'reem-ing. Teal'c taught me the fundamentals.

Dr. Jackson

Did he mention you should remain conscious in the process?

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Yeah, I'm still working on the basics.

Dr. Jackson

Uh oh.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

What's "uh oh"?

Dr. Jackson

Nothing happened.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Bad.

Merlin

Greetings, friend. I am Merlin. The prize you seek, like the pendulum's swing, marks the passage of all that is before you.

Dr. Jackson

[holding up a book] Do you recognize this?

It is Sangraal.

Dr. Jackson

This is the Sangraal?

It is also known as the Blood Stone.

Dr. Jackson

Of course. Sang. Blood. Blood red for the color of the jewel.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. We're talking about the Holy Grail, right? Every movie I've seen, that's a cup.

Dr. Jackson

You are making a mistake. There is no curse. The black knight is a security feature created by Merlin through the use of science and advanced technology. There is no magic— [the Odyssey beams up SG-1]

Dr. Jackson

Once and for all: There was no curse. This is a device. There is no magic— [the Korolev beams him up]

Dr. Jackson

Boy, my timing's off today...
