[
versions of Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter and Teal'c have travelled back in time to Egypt in the year 2995 B.C. where they meet the Daniel Jackson of the original timeline]
Daniel Jackson:
Well, this can't be a good sign.
Jack O'Neill:
Why's that?
Daniel Jackson:
Where am I?
Jack O'Neill:
Ancient Egypt?
Daniel Jackson:
No, I mean the me from your timeline.
Teal'c:
I killed you.
Daniel Jackson:
Why?
Teal'c:
You were a Goa'uld spy.
Daniel Jackson:
Good reason.
Sam Carter:
It was horrible.
Daniel Jackson:
[
not really interested] Yeah, I'm sure. Why are you here?
Jack O'Neill:
Yes, excellent question.
Daniel Jackson:
You don't know?
Jack O'Neill:
Well, I thought I did, there, for a while, and then I realized I... didn't.
Daniel Jackson:
Well, I know why *I'm* here.
Jack O'Neill:
Good! Let's start there.
Sam Carter:
[
studdering nervously] I'm-I'm kind of attracted to Daniel.
Jack O'Neill:
[
long pause with blank expression then incredulously] What?
[
long pause while stepping closer and then again incredulously]
Jack O'Neill:
Really?
Sam Carter:
Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?
Jack O'Neill:
Close enough.
Sam Carter:
Look, if we don't make it...
[
kisses Jack]
Jack O'Neill:
[
angrily] Wait a minute! You said you liked Daniel.
Sam Carter:
I lied.
Lieutenant General George Hammond:
I'm allowing the use of this ship because of the obvious tactical advantage it provides you. Under no circumstances is it to be used to travel through time. Understood?
Jack O'Neill:
Yes, sir.
Lieutenant General George Hammond:
Never in my life would I have imagined giving that order.
Daniel Jackson:
Wait a minute. I thought the reason why we brought the ship was so that we didn't have to walk.
Sam Carter:
You can't just fly into an alien city. The mission is stealth recon. Meaning undetected.
Jack O'Neill:
Meaning *shut up*!
Apophis:
Who are you?
Daniel Jackson:
Name's Daniel Jackson. Uh, if you give me back my eyeglasses, I could actually see you.
Teal'c:
He claims he's of the Tau'ri.
Daniel Jackson:
You weren't supposed to tell him that.
Apophis:
The Tau'ri have no Chaapa'ai.
Daniel Jackson:
Oh! Sorry, guess I was wrong. I'm-I'm sure your information is correct and - In fact, I'm usually quite wrong, quite unreliable actually. I'm - To be honest with you, I'm-I'm insane.
Apophis:
Speak!
[
pause while Daniel doesn't speak]
Apophis:
Bring him.
[
Teal'c hauls him forward]
Apophis:
I think there is much you can tell me.
Daniel Jackson:
Well, if you wanna know about the early settlements of Mesopotamia, I am somewhat of an expert...
Dr. Rodney McKay:
[
to Hammond] I give this no more than a 50/50 chance of working.
Lieutenant General George Hammond:
According to the tape, it worked for eight years.
Dr. Rodney McKay:
Hm.
Daniel Jackson:
[
wormhole is established] Wow.
Dr. Rodney McKay:
Well, I'm certainly glad it's not me going through that... um... thing.
Jack O'Neill:
Any idea what to expect?
Sam Carter:
Not really. According to the tape, we're going to be de-molecularized, transmitted over two thousand light-years through subspace, and then, uh, remolecularized on the other side.
Major Charles Kawalsky:
I did not need to know that.
Jack O'Neill:
OK.
Dr. Rodney McKay:
Gateship 1, you're go for launch.
Jack O'Neill:
Gate ship?
Daniel Jackson:
[
with hand gesture] Well, it's a ship that goes through the gate.
Jack O'Neill:
[
somewhat reluctantly] Alright.
Dr. Rodney McKay:
[
to Hammond] What? It's a ship that goes through the gate. Gateship.
[
pause]
Dr. Rodney McKay:
Well, I thought it was clever.
Jack O'Neill:
How's it goin'?
Sam Carter:
Never seen this kind of technology before.
Jack O'Neill:
Hey, you're supposed to be a genious. That's why I brought you along.
Sam Carter:
I'm working on it. I think the power relay was overloaded. I may be able to reroute the circuit to the control interface...
[
pauses and sees Jack staring at her]
Sam Carter:
What?
Jack O'Neill:
It's just a little weird hearing that kind of stuff come out of someone so...
Sam Carter:
[
apparently taking offence at what she thinks Jack is about to say] So what?
Jack O'Neill:
Hot.
Sam Carter:
[
chokes, then stutters] Really?
Jack O'Neill:
Yeah.
Sam Carter:
[
pauses] Wow. Um... it's just... you-you're not the kind of guy that I usually attract.
Jack O'Neill:
No?
Sam Carter:
No.
[
sputters]
Sam Carter:
Heh, God. Wow. This is kinda awkward.
Jack O'Neill:
Yeah, it's gettin' there.
Sam Carter:
I'm kinda... attracted to-to Daniel.
Jack O'Neill:
[
long pause] What?
[
Sam shrugs, he pauses again; then incredulously]
Jack O'Neill:
Really?
Sam Carter:
Sorry.
Jack O'Neill:
No, that's okay, no problem there, I just, you know... first impressions, I thought he was...
[
he pauses, Sam looks confused, he does hand motion for "gay," but sees Sam doesn't understand]
Jack O'Neill:
Nevermind.
Sam Carter:
Look, if we don't make it...
[
kisses Jack]
Jack O'Neill:
Wait a minute! I thought you liked Daniel.
Sam Carter:
I lied. I just wanted to get to know you better. You see, I'm a very cautious person, and I tend to take things-
[
Jack interrupts, kissing her]
Daniel Jackson:
[
into the radio] Sam, Jack, it's all clear. You can come out now.
Jack O'Neill:
[
into the radio] In a minute.
[
turns back to Sam. Daniel flicks his eyes nervously, viewing the celebration; Jack resumes kissing Sam]
Sam Carter:
[
muffled, after something in the ship sends out sparks] I can fix that.
