Quotes
-
Jack O'Neill : I distinctly remember sitting here, listening to Carter prattle on about solar activity and a... corona... something.
Major Samantha Carter : Coronal mass emissions - I was just about to bring it up.
Jack O'Neill : There you go, how would I know that?
Major Samantha Carter : Maybe you read my report.
Daniel Jackson : Maybe he *read* your report?
-
Teal'c : Events do appear to be repeating themselves.
Daniel Jackson : Since when?
Jack O'Neill : Since we went to P4X-639.
Major Samantha Carter : We haven't been to P4X-639.
Jack O'Neill : Yes we have.
[to Daniel]
Jack O'Neill : "No we haven't." That's what you were gonna say.
Daniel Jackson : Of course that's what I was gonna say.
Jack O'Neill : Okay, bad example.
-
Jack O'Neill : Weren't we just somewhere else?
Daniel Jackson : Where?
Jack O'Neill : Some planet.
Daniel Jackson : When?
Jack O'Neill : Just now.
Daniel Jackson : No.
Jack O'Neill : Sure?
Daniel Jackson : Yeah.
-
Daniel Jackson : On the other hand, it's kind of an opportunity.
Jack O'Neill : How's that?
Daniel Jackson : Well think about it, I mean if you knew in advance that everything was going to go back to the way it was then...
[Teal'c stops writing to listen to the conversation]
Daniel Jackson : you could do anything. For as long as you want, without having to worry about consequences.
[Daniel pauses as O'Neill rises from his chair]
Jack O'Neill : Excuse me.
[O'Neill leaves. Teal'c nods to Jackson and also leaves]
-
Jack O'Neill : What kind of archaeologist carries a gun?
Daniel Jackson : Uh, I do.
Jack O'Neill : Okay, bad example.

[repeated lines]
[the time loop resets]
Daniel Jackson : [to Jack O'Neill eating Froot Loops] Anyway, I'm sorry, but that just happens to be how *I* feel about it. What do *you* think?
-
[repeated lines]
[decoding and translating text in successive iterations of the loop]
Daniel Jackson : Okay, this section of the text seems to deal primarily with their arrival on P4X-639...
-
Daniel Jackson : I've encountered this script before. It's, uh, similar in pronunciation to a language on our planet called Latin. As near as I can tell, the main body of the text represents a planetary history.
Malikai : I agree... But isn't it time for you to return through the Stargate?
-
Daniel Jackson : Now, this line recurs several times: "Domavatus vestul motabilum."
Malikai : "Conqueror of time."
Daniel Jackson : In this context, I'd say more like "Master of the uncertain past."
Malikai : You're a skilled linguist, Dr Jackson.
Daniel Jackson : Thank you. I had the opportunity to hear the language spoken a year or so ago, so...
-
Daniel Jackson : Jack. Wait up. Um... I was thinking about what you said about, uh, a beam coming out of the altar. SG-15 took digital images of the carvings on the ruins. I was thinking there might be some sort of clue. Unfortunately it's the equivalent of 400 pages of alien text.
Colonel : Looks familiar.
Daniel Jackson : It should. It's something that you spoke for a few days. It's a variation of the writings used by the Ancients.
Colonel : If you're lookin' for help translating it, you're barkin' up the wrong genius.
Daniel Jackson : No, I realize the Asgards returned you to normal, which is fortunate, I... suppose. But if you give me details about the layout of the ruins it might be...
-
Daniel Jackson : Look, if you guys really are the only ones that are going through this loop, then you're gonna have to remember these things.
[hands a document to Jack]
Jack O'Neill : [glosses over the document in his hand] Fine! How hard can it be?
[Daniel turns the upside-down document around for Jack]
