O'Neill: Break out the fishing gear, General. Our job here is done.
Hammond: I take it your mission was successful.
Carter: In a word, sir: Yes.
O'Neill: In two words... Yes, sir.
Hammond: Your initial report said the Volians were a simple agrarian society.
O'Neill: That they are.
Jackson: The Volians introduced us to another race. Friends of theirs.
O'Neill: Who, while lacking a sense of humor, make up for it in advanced technology.

O'Neill: Long story short, I think we just carried out our standing orders.
Teal'c: Indeed. We may have found a race both willing and capable of defending this world against the Goa'uld.
O'Neill: And if that little outburst didn't convince you—
Hammond: I'm convinced.

Hammond: By the way, what do our new friends call themselves?
Carter: The Aschen, sir. They're called the Aschen.

Carter: So out of security concerns, the Aschen wish not to reveal the location of their home world until we have an agreement.
O'Neill: They're a little paranoid.
Jackson: It seems appropriate seeing as how they don't have an iris like ours.
Carter: We do know that they've actually created a secondary star in the Volian system by igniting a gas giant, thereby doubling the Volians' growing season.
Joseph Faxon (Christopher Cousins): They made a star? How?
Carter: Well, theoretically by increasing the density of a sufficiently massive gas giant until a thermonuclear reaction could take place. In fact Arthur C. Clarke posited that—
O'Neill: Ambassador, you gotta be careful about the use of the word "how" unless you really wanna know.
Faxon: My mistake, Colonel.

Teal'c: Colonel O'Neill mistrusts the Aschen.
O'Neill: I didn't say that.
Teal'c: Indeed you did. On several occasions.

Hammond: Dig a little deeper. Find out from the Vollians if the Aschen are the good neighbors they appear to be.

O'Neill: This is what you're wearing?
Faxon: What's wrong with it?
Teal'c: Nothing.
Carter: You look fine.

Faxon: It looks just like—
O'Neill: Oh yeah. Just when you think you're not in Kansas anymore... turns out you are.

Hammond: You're telling me there's a one-in-four chance that the Aschen home world is a planet that I ordered off limits?
Walter Harriman: Yes sir.

Teal'c: General Hammond's request was to gather more information.
Jackson: He also said we should "dig a little deeper."

Teal'c: Have you discovered something, Daniel Jackson?
Jackson: Oh god, I hope not. Probably though.

Molum: While you may respect these neighbors, you have not yet revealed to them the existence of your Stargate.
Faxon: Not for all of them.
Molum: Any treaty between the Aschen Confederation and the people of Earth must be with all the people of Earth.
Faxon: I think we can agree to that.

Hammond: Several months ago we received a message through the Stargate that simply stated, "Under no circumstances go to P4C-970."
Major: The warning from the future.
Hammond: That's the theory, Major. We don't know the circumstances in which it was written. Only the the signature and the blood found on the note matched Colonel O'Neill. We've jsut determined that the people we're currently in trade negotiations with—the Aschen—may be from one of these four planets.
Major: And the only way to rule out 970 as the Aschen world is to check out the other three, sir.
Hammond: That's your mission.

Teal'c: This cavern may be unstable. I believe it would be best if we returned to the surface.
Jackson: I don't think so. If this doesn't serve our purposes we're going to have to take another look around. If the Aschen really do have something to hide, I don't think we're going to get a second chance.

Molum: Colonel, you seem pensive.
O'Neill: No, I was just thinking.

O'Neill: Well. That was... easy.
Faxon: This was just the first stage. If you thought it was too easy, believe me, you won't feel that way when we're done.
O'Neill: So I'm the only one that has a bad feeling about this?
Faxon: Yes.
O'Neill: Just checking.

Faxon: History will remember your contribution to this.
O'Neill: O'Neill. Two L's.

O'Neill: Well General, it might be time to reconsider this retirement thing.
Hammond: Not yet, Colonel. Come with me.

Carter: We knew what you were planning, Molum. This just confirms it.
Borren: What are you talking about?
Carter: "Vaccine causes sterility." That was the headline. You wiped out most of the Volian population and turned their entire world into farmland. You'll do the same to Earth.
Molum: Lock them in here. We have a treaty to conclude.
Carter: If we don't come back to Earth alive the treaty is off.
Molum: That'll be your loss. We have what we want.

Senator Kinsey (Ronny Cox): I swear, O'Neill. There's going to be an investigation into this. {he storms out}
O'Neill: Well that'd be fine. O'Neill. Two L's!
