[Daniel Jackson introduces Gen. Hammond to Shifu, the Harcesis child]
Gen. Hammond
Welcome to Earth.
Shifu
A spark lights a flame, but the candle will only burn as long as the wick.
Col. O'Neill
If I may, sir. I think what he means is the wick is the centre of the candle, and ostensibly a great leader, like yourself, is essential to the... whole ball of wax. Basically, what it means is that it's always better to have a big, long wick. Right?
Daniel Jackson
Don't look at me.
Col. O'Neill
It's right, though? Right?
