| Vidrine: | General Hammond has told me nothing but good things. |
| O'Neill: | Has he, sir? Then I'm sure he's left something out. |
| Vidrine: | How does she fly, son? |
| Teal'c: | The vehicle performed within expected parameters. |
| O'Neill: | Whoo-hoo!!... ...Sorry, sir. I couldn't help but get caught up in Teal'c's enthusiasm. |
| O'Neill: | Uh... Teal'c... on our six. Is that what I think it is? |
| Teal'c: | You think it is Earth?... yes. |
| O'Neill: | It's... shrinking. |
| O'Neill: | Was that who I think it was? And did he just say what I think he said? |
| Teal'c: | If you think it was Apophis and that he said that the gliders from which this craft was constructed contained a device designed to return those gliders to his home world... Then, yes. |
| O'Neill: | He also mentioned something about... dying? |
| Teal'c: | In the cold of space. |
| O'Neill: | Right... ...Now, the old boy hasn't lost his touch, has he? |
| O'Neill: | How are we on consumables? |
| Teal'c: | We have sufficient power and life support for several days. |
| O'Neill: | Several days... Well, that's something. How long will this thing take to get to whereever it's going? |
| Teal'c: | Assuming this device is programmed to return to Apophis' original home world... Several hundred years. |
| O'Neill: | Several hundred? |
| Teal'c: | Years. |
| O'Neill: | Ya... just uh... let me do the math on that, here. |
| O'Neill: | Yeah, Flight, Digger One. We read you. We have lost control of the craft to some sort of hidden recall device that apparently the scum-sucking... slimy, snake-ass Apophis installed in his Death Gliders... Over. |
| O'Neill: | Cabin pressure's holding. We didn't spring a leak. Though I may have just... taken one. |
| Teal'c: | The situation has indeed worsened. |
| O'Neill: | Ya think? |
| Hammond: | Digger One, this is Hammond. Doctor Jackson and Major Carter are procuring a craft fast enough to rescue you. But you're going to have to hang on for another 24 hours. I know that sounds like a long time, and I know you want to do something to get yourselves out of this, but the best thing you can do is conserve your energy. Hammond out at 21:00. |
| O'Neill: | Twenty four hours. |
| Teal'c: | Our current power and life support will not last twelve hours. |
| O'Neill: | Let me do the math... |
