Makepeace: Major Carter has... accepted my command with no problem, sir, but I'm afraid Dr. Jackson and the Jaffa have not.
Hammond: Well maybe if you didn't think of him as "the Jaffa," it would be a good start. (edit) Jack: Who's we?
Maybourne: My organisation.
Jack: NID?
Maybourne: Mmm.. more of an offshoot.
Jack: Ah. That sort of says it all, doesn't it? (edit) (facing a court-martial)
Jack: All this for one little indiscretion?
(Hammond opens a file)
Hammond: Five counts of direct insubordination towards superior officers and a United States Senator. Two counts of refusal to obey orders. Kidnapping an alien child. Should I go on?
Jack: The proverbial straw, sir? (edit) (while walking past High Chancellor Travell and her aide)
Jack: Well, look who's here. Come to retrieve your vastly superior stuff? You know, it'd be a lot more superior if it wasn't so easy to steal! (edit) Sam: Is there anything I can do?
Jack: About?
Sam: Well, sir, with respect, you aren't exactly acting like yourself.
Jack: No, Carter. I haven't been acting like myself since I met you. Now I'm acting like myself. (edit)

Jack didn't have a GDO so he shouldn't have been able to gate back to Earth. (edit) Newman apologizes to O'Neill for having had returned fire in the Utah hanger ("Touchstone"). However, when the four NID men were cornered by SG-1, none of them fired a weapon before they escaped. (edit) When the Tollan came to Earth at the beginning of the episode, the gate is activated as usual, but the monitor showed the gate had established a wormhole even though it hadn't yet. Seconds later, they are closing the iris and you see the inner ring of the gate still turning, 7th chevron still unlit, however upon changing camera angles, the chevron is clearly visible in the reflection on the glass and is lit. (edit) Colonel Maybourne is missing his skill badge on his dress uniform which should be above his ribbons. This happens in many episodes. (edit) At the end before Jack goes back to the black ops base the dialing is all messed up. You can hear him only hit six chevrons, but seven are lit up seconds later. Also, the wormhole activates before he hits the activation button. (edit)

Colonel Jack O'Neill: Hello, Newman.
When introduced to Newman through the Goa'uld communication device, Jack says "Hello, Newman!" using the same tone that Jerry used on the TV show Seinfeld. (edit)
