Monk, Col. O'Neill and others in “Unfinished Business”

I only know a snowflake cannot exist in a storm of fire.

What?

Jack.

No, I…you know me, I'm a huge fan of subtlety, but that's downright encrypted.

[to the monk] Sorry, don't worry about him.

The sun is warm, the wind is wild, the grass is green along the shores. Here no bull can hide.

[to himself] I don't know about that.

Jack, he's speaking in Zen Koans. Whatever theology he follows may be an original basis for Buddhism on Earth.

Well that's very nice. I'll be sure to call the Dalai Lama when we get home.
