Quotes

add »
Freya: (after kissing Jack) Anise, my symbiote, is far more interested in Dr. Jackson on an intellectual level, but she would have to suffer. (edit)
(Teal'c enters the room)
Jack: Come to say your good-byes?
Teal'c: If there is anything you require, O'Neill...
Jack: Another option. (edit)
Jack: She made a pass at me.
Daniel: Sam?
Jack: Anise. Freya. One of 'em. (edit)
Freya: We can complete the zatarc testing in time.
Jack: And if we find more?
Hammond: Greater things than the summit could be in jeopardy, Colonel. Proceed. Dismissed.
(Freya gets up)
Jack: Well, this is fun! Who's next?
(Jack gets up and follows her)
Freya: SG-1.
Jack: (to himself) Do'h. (edit)
Hammond: This zatarc detector actually works?
Fraiser: It's alien technology. I have no way of knowing.
Hammond: So, we're completely in the hands of the Tok'ra.
Fraiser: Colonel must be happy about that. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Jack is in confinement and he and Daniel are talking, the security camera's red light does not blink for the first half of the scene. The light begins to blink half way into the scene after there is a close up of Daniel (with the camera directly behind him). (edit)

Allusions

add »
Jack: Do'h.
Jack utters this to himself after learning SG-1 is next to be tested. "D'oh" is the catchphrase of Homer Simpson, from the animated series The Simpsons. Homer says this when he injures himself, or after he does something stupid. (edit)
O'Neill: Do we, or do we not, have a Xanax detector?
As per usual, Colonel O'Neill mispronounces a new or difficult word - substituting it with a more "familiar" Earth word - in this case Xanax instead of the Goa'uld mind control technique Zatarc. Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug. (edit)
