- Vala Mal Doran: [to Daniel, about spending 3 months on the Odyssey] I'm gonna go crazy, and I'm taking you with me.
- Vala Mal Doran: Being stuck on this ship is worse than being stuck at the SGC. I-I-I tell you, the last time I was this bored I took hostages!
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: I was there.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Just another routine trip to save the world sir.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson, Vala Mal Doran, Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Indeed.
- Thor: You are the fifth race. Your role is clear. If there is any hope in preserving the future, it lies with you and your people.
- Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter: No pressure, huh?
- Major General Hank Landry: It's only been a couple of weeks.
- Vala Mal Doran: I have a problem with the word only.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: See, what we need, is we need Superman to fly around the ship really, really fast.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Oh, if you only knew how ridiculous that was.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: No, it only sounds ridiculous till you hear yourself say, "I am trapped on a spaceship stuck in a time-dilation field."
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: I've said it before, I am for fighting to the death but we need a plan, preferably one that avoids the "to the death" part.
- Thor: General, with your permission, a number of Asgard are prepared to beam onboard immediately to begin installing various technological upgrades to this ship.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: I hope it's ray guns. I got ray guns in the pool.
- Major General Hank Landry: What is it you are planning on giving us?
- Thor: Everything we have and know.
- Vala Mal Doran: By that you mean...
- Thor: Everything. All our most current technology, all our knowledge.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Sorry, we're just a little stunned. I mean, why are you doing this? You always resisted in the past. You always said we weren't ready.
- Thor: Indeed. Many Asgard still believe that.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: So what's changed?
- Thor: As a race, we are dying. Very soon, we will all be gone.
- Vala Mal Doran: Do you think the Ori warriors could have found a way to get through the time-dilation field and over here onto the ship?
- Teal'c: No.
- Vala Mal Doran: Because I'm hearing things all the time. Are you hearing things?
- Teal'c: I am trying not to.
- Vala Mal Doran: Maybe they found a way to ring over, but they can't figure out how to secretly shut off the time-dilation field, so they're trying to drive us crazy and make us shut it down ourselves.
- Teal'c: No.
- Vala Mal Doran: That wasn't a question.
- Teal'c: No.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: When I said that I wanted to get the team back together, work with you guys, learn from ya... I did not mean every waking moment for the next 50 years.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: You said that yesterday.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: [blank stare] I did?
- Teal'c: [staring at his food] And the day before.
- Vala Mal Doran: And the day before that.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Oh... sorry. I'll just... shut up now.
- Major General Hank Landry: [Amid complaints that they may be trapped in the time-dilation loop long term] The bottom line is: none of you are going to have any excuses to be behind on your paperwork.
