- Colonel Frank Simmons: Are we gonna get into hyperdrive anytime soon here?
- Adrian Conrad: I'm working on it. The design is incredibly crude. It amazes me that a race as backward as yours would even think of attempting interstellar travel.
- Colonel Frank Simmons: Spare me the supervillain riff. We're on the clock here.
- Julia Donovan: So that guy with the weird voice - he was an alien, wasn't he? You might as well tell me, we're probably not going to survive this anyway.
- Jonas Quinn: We've been in tighter spots.
- Major Samantha Carter: Prometheus is the third in a series of designs that incorporates both human and alien technology.
- Al Martell: You're saying little green men helped you build this?
- Major Samantha Carter: Actually, they're gray. All the key systems were reverse engineered from a ship that crashed a hundred miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska in 1978. It was only in the last few years that our technology evolved to a point where we could take advantage of what we had.
- Jonas Quinn: [quietly] Fairbanks?
- Major Samantha Carter: Better than Roswell.
- Julia Donovan: Al, why are you doing this?
- Al Martell: They're paying me.
- Julia Donovan: We're supposed to be friends.
- Al Martell: They're paying me a lot.
- Major Samantha Carter: [explaining why they came out of hyperspace and could not determine their location] Sir, it's possible that when the hyperdrive was brought online no one accommodated for the instability of the Naquadria.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: [sarcastically] Well who does?
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: This... is an *insanely* bad idea!
- Major General George Hammond: The decision's already been made.
