Jack O'Neill : ...And after that, I kind of lost my temper.
Major General George Hammond : What exactly does *that* mean?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Let's just say Jack made a reference to Freyr's mother.
-
Sam Carter : Sir, the asteroid's core is composed almost entirely of Naquadah.
Jack O'Neill : Of course it is.
Sam Carter : It makes up about 45 percent of the total mass.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Of course it does.

Dr. Daniel Jackson : Well, we have a couple of options. Number one, we give up. We use what's left of power and life support to make it to the nearest unoccupied gate world. There's a small chance we'd make it. From there we head to the Alpha site.
Jack O'Neill : Number two?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : We take off and hope that our radio signal can be picked up by the Asgard in time to inform them that this was a Goa'uld attack disguised as a natural disaster.
Sam Carter : There isn't enough time for that.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : I know.
Jack O'Neill : Is... there a number three?
Sam Carter : There's no three.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Well, maybe there is. Teal'c, you said Naquadah wasn't native to our solar system.
[Teal'c nods in acknowledgement]
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Which means that the Goa'uld must have towed it through hyperspace by ship.
Teal'c : A mother ship.
Sam Carter : Daniel, that's it!
Jack O'Neill : What's it?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : We don't have a mother ship.
Sam Carter : But the effect only has to last a few seconds.
Jack O'Neill : What only has to last a few seconds? What?
Sam Carter : Choice three, sir. We expand the ship's hyperspace field to encompass the entire asteroid. We take it out of normal space long enough to avoid the collision with earth.
Jack O'Neill : [Long pause] Is there a *four*?
-
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Well, one of our allies will surely help.
Sam Carter : I hope you're right. Otherwise, in 11 days and 16 hours all life on earth will be wiped out.
