- [First lines of the series]
- [Soldiers are playing cards in the deserted Gate Room]
| Dealer | Oh, man, this hand's as lousy as this detail. All right everybody, ante up! |
| Maj. Samuels | What if the aliens get it? |
| Col. O'Neill | Well, they could be blowing their noses right now. |
| Maj. Samuels | They could be planning an attack! |
| Col. O'Neill | Aw, come on, Samuels, let me be the cynic around here, okay? |
| Col. O'Neill | Oh, here we go. Another scientist. General, please. |
| Capt. Carter | Theoretical astrophysicist. |
| Col. O'Neill | Which means? |
| Gen. Hammond | Which means she's smarter than you are, Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate. |
| Capt. Carter | I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel. And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle. |
| Jack O'Neill | Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I've just got a little problem with scientists. |
| Capt. Carter | Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle? |
- [While examining the DHD on Abydos]
| Capt. Carter | Amazing. This is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it! It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system on Earth. |
- [Carter is meeting Daniel Jackson for the first time.]
| Capt. Carter | Oh right, excuse me. Doctor Jackson, I presume. I'm Doctor Samantha Carter. |
| Col. O'Neill | I thought you wanted to be called "captain"? |
- [Daniel and Sam are discussing whether or not the Stargate can go to other planets.]
| Daniel Jackson | Look I don't pretend to know anything about astrophysics but couldn't the planets change? I mean, uh, drift apart or something like that, to throw this map off? |
| Capt. Carter | I knew I'd like you. |
| Daniel Jackson | You mean I'm right? |
- Col. O'Neill: I can save these people!!
- [Teal'c points his staff weapon at Jack.]
- Col. O'Neill: Please! Help me! [pause, quieter] Help me.
- Teal'c: Many have said that.
- [Teal'c suddenly turns and shoots another Jaffa. Then tosses O'Neill his staff weapon.]
- Teal'c: But you are the first I believe could do it!
- [Teal'c has betrayed Apophis and all the refugees have fled, leaving him standing forlornly in the chamber.]
- Col. O'Neill: Hey, come on!
- Teal'c: I have nowhere to go.
- O'Neill: For this you can stay at my place, let's go!
- [Teal'c pulls up his shirt and the infant Goa'uld comes out of the pouch]:
- Jack O'Neill: What the hell is that?!
- Teal'c: It is an infant Goa'uld, the larval form of the gods. I have carried one since I was a child, as all Jaffa carry one.
- Jack O'Neill: Well, get it out of there.
- Teal'c: In exchange for carrying the infant Goa'uld into maturity, a Jaffa receives perfect health and long life. If I were to remove it, I would eventually die.
- Jack O'Neill: Hell, if I were you, I'd take my chances.
