- Major General Jack O'Neill: Whatcha doing?
- Talus: Probing your mind.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Kinda roomy, ain't it?
- Richard Woolsey: That sounded like another explosion.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Yes, yes it did.
- Richard Woolsey: What does that mean?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Something exploded.
- Richard Woolsey: General! General!
- Major General Jack O'Neill: [peeking around a corner] And if I'm a replicator?
- Richard Woolsey: Then I've just exposed my position.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Again!
- Richard Woolsey: I'm sorry I'm not very good at this.
- [O'Neill hands him an energy bar and Woolsey rips it open]
- Richard Woolsey: I'm starving. Was this all you could find?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Actually, there was a lovely buffet.
- Richard Woolsey: How'd the recon go?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Well Stargate Ops is crawling with them. There's no way we'll make it across to the Jumper Bay.
- Richard Woolsey: Are they looking for us?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: I plumb forgot to ask.
- Cetus: What were you doing in the flooded sections of the city?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: The backstroke... I think.
- Talus: What were you planning?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Well I was planning to retire, but man is that over rated. You know I'm not a workaholic or anything but, I need to stay active... you know, in the community... it's a health, maintinance sort of thing.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Please, don't be offended as I express my surprise that Landry would send you on a mission like this.
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: Well, sir, General Landry didn't sanction this mission.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: So, am I to assume you are not surrounded by heavily armed SG teams and young strapping marines?
- Dr. Elizabeth Weir: You've got Colonel Sheppard, Ronon, Teyla, McKay, myself and Dr Beckett.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Ooh! Dr Beckett, is it? Well, I'm comforted.
- Dr. Carson Beckett: What's that supposed to mean?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We've got a plan, sir. A good one.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Yes, Colonel, I'm sure you do. But in the unlikely event you don't fail miserably, you're fired.
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yes, sir. Look forward to that.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: He said he'd be back in a couple of hours. That gives him a good - 11 seconds.
- Richard Woolsey: He put his hand in my forehead. How can you resist that?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Well I like to close my eyes and think of England.
- Richard Woolsey: That sounded like an explosion.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Because it was.
- Richard Woolsey: Is Sheppard attacking the city?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Better be.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: I'll tell you what. You look around and I'll tell you if you're getting warmer or colder, alright?
- Talus: Ah, there it is.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: So, hot I guess?
- Richard Woolsey: As long as the life signs detectors aren't working in these damaged areas, we should be able to hold out until they rescue us.
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Uh, Richard, there's not going to be a rescue.
- Richard Woolsey: What?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Landry has standing orders to nuke the city if there's any sign of a foothold situation.
- Richard Woolsey: What kind of a standing order is that?
- Major General Jack O'Neill: Mine.
- Dr. Bill Lee: [Talking about Elizabeth Weir & Dr. Rodney McKay] I realize I was duped General but, they were incredible it was like a scene out of The Sting.
- Maj. Gen. Hank Landry: Calm down Bill that's not why I brought you in here.
- Dr. Bill Lee: In my defense this was obviously something they had planned for a long time.
- Maj. Gen. Hank Landry: Forget about it.
- Ronon Dex: Why aren't we dead yet?
- Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Probably saving us for a little recreational mind probing.
