- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Sorry, didn't mean to wake you.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: No, uh, I wasn't sleeping. I was Kelno'reem-ing. Teal'c taught me the fundamentals.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Did he mention you should remain conscious in the process?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: So all you had to do was shoot the control crystals?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Pretty much.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Sounds like one of my plans.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: This is interesting. This is a-a reference to Merlin's prophetic abilities. There's a-a similar myth on Earth, that Merlin could see the future because he actually aged backwards in time. It's not meant to be taken literally, but we have seen that a lot of legends and folklore have a-a strong basis in fact. Avalon, Atlantis...
- Teal'c: The Easter Bunny.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: I guess there's a few exceptions.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: [a reply to the Ori ships] "Then to Tyolus, say to the people of the low plains, seek not the wickedness amongst your neighbors lest it find purchase in your own house."
- Netan: Flying into our territory in an unmarked cargo ship? I didn't think you were that stupid.
- Teal'c: I have allowed myself to be captured knowing that I would be brought before you.
- Netan: Really?
- Teal'c: I have come to seek the assistance of the Lucian Alliance.
- Netan: I take it back. You're not stupid, you're insane.
- Major Marks: [reading a message from the Ori ships] "And those who are prideful and refuse to bow down shall be laid low and made unto dust."
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Hey, has anyone stopped to think how this thing might possibly work? I mean, how do you kill something that's pure energy?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Well, technically, Merlin's research didn't refer to killing. A better translation would be 'neutralizing' or 'canceling out'.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well it still begs a lot of questions. How do you aim at something you can't see?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Clearly it can't be a weapon in the conventional sense. See, Ascended Beings transcend ordinary space-time as we know it. This device would have to do the same thing.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: In other words, you have no idea what it might be.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Yeah, pretty much, that's it.
