Teal’c: If the coordinates are for a Goa’uld world which is not on the Abydos cartouche, the Goa’uld will most likely not expect us. I believe a medical attack could be successful.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Surgical attack, Teal’c. It’s called a surgical attack, and I’d feel like an idiot.
Captain Samantha Carter: Sir?
Jack: I was answering Daniel’s question. If we don’t do something now, and they do attack later, I’d feel like an idiot. We go.

Daniel: In a manner of speaking.
[General George Hammond sits down in Colonel Jack O’Neill’s living room, looks at the bottles of beer on the side, and points to them.]
General George Hammond: You wouldn’t happen to have another one of those?
Colonel Jack O’Neill: I would.
[Jack goes to the dining area, and gets a six pack of bottles.]
Jack: I hope you like Guinness, Sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for… food.
Colonel Jack O’Neill (frustrated): What are you doing here?
Dr. Jay Felger: Stand easy, we’re here to rescue you. [Felger grins.]
Major Samantha Carter: Did he say we?
Felger: That’s right. I have Coombs with me.
[Coombs appears in the vent.]
Dr. Simon Coombs: Hi.
Jack: (sarcastically) Why, look everybody, he’s got Coombs with him.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Carter, be honest. The resumé gag…?
Teal’c: It needs work, O’Neill.
Monk: I cannot teach you what you already know.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Oh, I don’t think I know as much as you think I know.
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Jack, the markings on the wall are a language. It’s a Bible. Uh, no, actually it’s more of a instruction book on how to reach this ethereal plane of existence, some kind of other world. It’s only natural the Jaffa who found this place would have interpreted it as passage to the afterlife.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Whoa, slow down there Grasshopper.
Daniel : Ok, I’m pretty sure this place was built by an alien race a millennia ago. They may have even visited Earth and inspired the mythologies surrounding the concept of Mother Nature in various cultures.
Jack: So this guy’s an alien?
Daniel: No. Um, I’m pretty sure the aliens discovered a means by which they could ascend to some higher plane of existence and went there…uh, wherever there is. But they left their writings in a shrine as a kind of map for others who wanted to follow them. The Monk is someone who has taken up curatorship.
Jack: Kind of janitor?
Daniel: More of a guide.
Jack: An usher?
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Jack, he’s speaking in the Zen codes. Whatever theology he follows may be an original basis for Buddhism on Earth.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Well that’s very nice. I’ll be sure to call the Dalai Lama when we get home. But for now, how about why we came here.
Daniel [to the Monk]: He’s right, this is very important. Is there a child here?
Monk: There is a child in all of us.
Jack: Oh come on.
Master Bra’tac [to the Monk]: He seeks a real human boy, of flesh and bones.
Monk: Those who seek oneness, find all that they seek.
[Bra’tac nods his understanding while Jack continues to look bewildered.]
Daniel: I think this is gonna take a while.
Jack: Really? What gives you that idea?
Monk: Lightning flashes, sparks shower and one blink of your eyes you have misseen.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Lightning, you say.
Monk [to Jack O’Neill]: I only know a snowflake cannot exist in a storm of fire.
Jack: What?
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Jack.
Jack: No, I…you know me, I’m a huge fan of subtlety, but that’s downright cryptic.
Daniel [to the Monk]: Sorry, don’t worry about him.
Monk: The sun is warm, the wind is wild, the grass is green along the shores. Here no bull can hide.
Jack [quietly]: I don’t know about that.
[They enter the temple which is lit by candles. There is no one around. Colonel Jack O’Neill glances towards Dr. Daniel Jackson and Master Bra’tac, and when he looks back there is monk standing before him.]
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Hey, whoa! Where’d you come from?
Monk: I have been here for some time.
Jack: No. You weren’t here when we just came in.
Monk: Here is everywhere you are.
Jack: Excuse me?
