Describe for me... the dress your sister wore last week when I took her out.
[In Ma'chello's body] I don't have a sister, Jack. And if I did, I wouldn't let you near her.

[in Daniel's body, speaking to people who ignore him] Hello, friend. I am new to this area. I would like to learn about your culture and customs. Will you teach me? Do you not understand me?
FFred
Spare any change, please?
Why does no one answer me?
FFred
'Cause you're strange.
Am I? Tell me how I am strange.
FFred
Man, you can't be just walking up to people you don't know on the street and talking all weird like that, asking for stuff.
Isn't that what you are doing?
FFred
Well, yeah, but--
Then you must be strange as well.
FFred
I been called worse. Sure, I'm strange, too.
I am called Ma'chello.
FFred
I'm Fred.
Let us feast together, Fred, and celebrate our strangeness and... new-found friendship.
FFred
On you?
If that is the custom, we will feast [indicates himself] on me.
[in Dr. Jackson's body] I do not wish to fight any longer. From now on I only want to eat hamburgers and french fries and ice cream sundaes and I want to be with good people like you, Fred.
[In Teal'c's body] Teal'c, what are you doing?
[In Jack's body] If I am to remain in this body, I must shave my head
[In Teal'c's body] You're making a joke, right?
[In Jack's body] I am not joking.
[In Teal'c's body] Teal'c, you will not shave my head!
[In Jack's body] It is presently my head, O'Neill.
[In Teal'c's body] Teal'c, this is only temporary!
[In Jack's body] And if it is not?
[In Teal'c's body] Just give them a chance to find Daniel, okay? Teal'c, I'm going to see General Hammond. Promise me you won't touch the head until I get back.
Dr. Jackson (in Ma'chello's body): "Why?"
Ma'chello (in Daniel's body): "Why? Because I earned it, that's why. I earned it because I sacrificed my life for you and your people. The least you could do was compensate me with another."
Dr. Jackson (in Ma'chello's body): "What right do you have to judge the value of my life?"
Ma'chello (in Daniel's body): "I have suffered more than anyone should suffer in a lifetime. For 50 years, I fought against the Goa'uld, then I was betrayed by my wife, whom they secretly turned into a host."
Dr. Jackson (in Ma'chello's body): "So was mine. She's still with them."
Ma'chello (in Daniel's body): "At least you still have a planet. And friends. Two billion of my people died rather than surrender me to the Goa'uld."
Dr. Jackson (in Ma'chello's body): "You have made great sacrifices. For that we owe you...gratitude. But it still does not give you the right to take another's life."
Ma'chello (in Daniel's body): "If you had the technology, you would do the same."
Dr. Jackson (in Ma'chello's body): "No, I wouldn't, because then I'd be no better than the Goa'uld."
Ma'chello (in Daniel's body): "I AM NOT A GOA'ULD! I HATE THE GOA'ULD!"
Dr. Jackson (in Ma'chello's body): "The Goa'uld use people as hosts because they think they're better than them. Because they think they deserve it. You're a Goa'uld, Ma'chello. I am nothing but a host to you."
Ma'chello (in Daniel's body): "I am not a Goa'uld."
"Colonel?"
Col. O'Neill (in Daniel's body): "I'm here."
"How do you feel, physically?"
Col. O'Neill (in Daniel's body): "Peachy."
Dr. Jackson (in Jack's body): "Whoa. What a dream. What happened?"
"I don't have time to explain right now, Daniel, just bear with me."
Dr. Jackson (in Jack's body): "Okay."
Col. O'Neill (in Daniel's body): "Hey, Danny-boy."
Dr. Jackson (in Jack's body): "...Jack?!"
"Thank you. For my holiday."
Déjà vu.
I am unfamiliar with that term.
It means, "I feel like I've been here before."
That is correct, Daniel Jackson. Yesterday, when we first arrived on this planet.
[Pause] Right. What was I thinking?
Well, I have to admit this is one of the stranger cultures I've ever seen. As far as I can tell, they're communal, but there's very little sign of actual social communication. I haven't seen any tools or signs of a functional civilization.
So they're a little less evolved than we are.
Well, we don't wanna jump to any conclusions. Remember the Nox.
And they did build these...homes.
That's a kind appraisal. What about the UAV?
Well, I've tried everything I know about rudimentary communication, and to be honest, I've had more successful conversations with dogs.
So...
So they're probably a little less evolved than we are.
Can you do me a favor? Could you keep an eye on this plant thing for me?
I will keep both of my eyes on it, Daniel Jackson.
Witness if you will: Squat.
Well, we're not gonna stand around doing nothing.
We're not doing nothing.
You're videotaping a plant.
Well, I think this might be important.
Well, I think you might be losing what's left of your mind.
[Pause] ... What's that supposed to mean?
It means that on a good day, you can be a little flaky.
And on a good day you can be a little ignorant and condescending.
Not condescending. You're obviously misreading a basic philosophical difference in opinion on how to handle a crisis.
Oh, please! We have a-a difference of opinion on just about everything.
Gimme an example.
I dunno, pick something! How about -- how about mythology?
Rumors, lies, fairytales.
[Finally losing it, jumping around in a frustrated circle] Y'see?! See? See? See? See?? See?? Mythology is one of the primary motivations for cultural development!
Maybe it is; what's that got to do with filming a plant?!
Exactly!
What does that mean?!
I don't know!
Y'know I thought the alien on the video looked fairly docile, more curious than harmful.
I thought it looked... bald, white and naked.
GHGen. Hammond
So this inaudible sound was making you sick, but not in the same way that it was affecting the aliens? They need the sound to live but we altered it by harming the organism that makes the sound?
Sounds right.
