- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Teal'c, how do Jaffa couples handle their problems?
- Teal'c: On Chulak, a dispute between a man and a woman that cannot be resolved necessitates a pledge break. It must be requested by one and granted by the other.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: And if that doesn't work?
- Teal'c: A weapon is required.
- Brigadier General Jack O'Neill: Carter.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Sir?
- Brigadier General Jack O'Neill: I never thought I'd hear myself utter these words. I need that report.
- Brigadier General Jack O'Neill: I'm joking. I don't need the report.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Well, then why...
- Brigadier General Jack O'Neill: Because something's goin' on with you. You haven't tried to confuse me with any scientific babble for the last couple of days and that's a red flag to me.
- Teal'c: Have I not conducted myself as a typical member of this community?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: [nods] Mhm... No.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Most cultures on Earth recognize that there's a significant gap between the experiences of men and women. Among the Masai of East Africa, each newly wed man is required to wear his wife's clothing for a month, as a way of gaining insight into her life.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: If only it were that simple.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: The point is, while rituals and customs may vary, almost all cultures put significant pressure on single adults to form bonding pairs. In ancient Persia, if a girl died a virgin, they would go so far as to marry her corpse off before burial.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: That's horrible!
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: The groom was usually quite well paid.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: [Looking at Teal'c's apartment] Wow! I like what you're doing with the place. Sort of... Jaffa chic with a east African flair.
- Teal'c: I have discovered there are many programs on television which offer advice in the area of home design and decoration.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Yeah, I'm a little more into the History Channel myself.
- Pete Shanahan: So, how are things in the galaxy?
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: You know I can't talk about work.
- Pete Shanahan: Sorry. I'm still getting used to the fact that my girlfriend's a superhero.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: A bit of an exaggeration.
- Pete Shanahan: The superhero part or the girlfriend part? You travel to other planets to do battle with alien creatures bent on galactic domination. Just because you don't wear a tight spandex outfit doesn't mean that you're not... although... it's an idea you might wanna consider.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: What about you? If things had been different...
- Brigadier General Jack O'Neill: [Sullenly] I wouldn't be here.
- Teal'c: [to Doug, after observing bruising on Krista] If you injure her again I will kill you where you stand.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: [Jennings has told Daniel that 3 snipers have him targeted] You're bluffing.
- Jennings: I can see we're going to have to do this the hard way.
- [Jennings sets his coffee cup on the picnic table and, into a hidden microphone, says]
- Jennings: Take the coffee cup.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: [a bullet immediately pierces the cup and coffee flows out of both sides] So... are we gonna take your car mine? Or should I just follow you?
