Quotes 

• Dr. Daniel Jackson : Well, we were kinda hopin' that you could, um, like, beam them out, or...

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : [chuckles]  Beam them out? What am I, Scotty?

• [in a scout ship, being questioned by a mothership] 

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : All right, we're almost finished. Sam's just finishing up.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Uh, that's good, 'cause I don't think they bought my act.

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : Why? Who'd you say you were?

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : The, uh, Great and Powerful Oz.

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : [shouting]  Sam!

• Jacob Carter/Selmak : what were you thinking, anyway? Retrofitting a death glider? You should have known better. The technology you're screwing around with is way over your head.

  Major Samantha Carter : That is the most arrogant... I can't believe that that just came out of your mouth!

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : Well, it's the truth.

  Major Samantha Carter : You of all people should know.

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : I am uniquely qualified to know just how technologically infantile the human race is.

  Major Samantha Carter : Infantile?

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : Yes, in comparison with the Goa'uld and Tok'ra, you're very young.

  Major Samantha Carter : You... you are so...

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : There's nothing wrong with being young, but you've got to learn to take small steps. You can't just slap a US Air Force sticker on the side of a death glider and call it yours. Advancement like that has to be earned.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Um, aren't the Goa'uld, and the Tok'ra, for that matter, where they are by stealing the technology from other races?

  Major Samantha Carter : Yes!

  Jacob Carter/Selmak : Yes, but the Tok'ra were flying around in ships like these when most of the people on Earth thought it was flat.
