[McKay goes to visit Carter in the infirmary, as she recovers from electrical burns]

Dr. McKay:
Hi.

Maj. Carter:
Oh, man, and I was just starting to feel better.

Dr. McKay:
[takes a deep breath, appearing to be relaxing] I always wanted to be a pianist.

Maj. Carter:
[Thinking McKay said "penis"] Excuse me?

Dr. McKay:
A concert pianist --- you know, a guy who plays the piano [he mimes playing the piano] in front of lots of people?

Maj. Carter:
[Sam smiles] Right.

Dr. McKay:
What did you think I said?

Maj. Carter:
Never mind.

Dr. McKay:
I had a not-so-comfortable childhood. My parents hated each other. Blamed me. Music was my salvation. It had this ... perfect order for me.

Maj. Carter:
[smiles, patronizing] That's nice, really.

Dr. McKay:
When I was 12, my teacher told me to quit. A fine clinical player, he said, but no sense of the art whatsoever.

Maj. Carter:
Why are you telling me this?

Dr. McKay:
I'm just ... trying to bond.

Maj. Carter:
Why?

Dr. McKay:
Hospital gowns turn me on. [He smiles] I turned to science because I thought it would be different than music, but it isn't. It's just the same, it's just as much of an art as anything else.

Maj. Carter:
Look, it's not your fault that the EM pulse didn't work.

Dr. McKay:
You're an artist, Major. Maybe the best I've ever seen. I'm just critical because I'm jealous.

Maj. Carter:
I'm touched, really. I wish I had a brilliant plan to draw up for you.

Dr. McKay:
And you're funny, too. Even electrocuted. I mean, I've ... I've got nothing.

Maj. Carter:
You're creeping me out, McKay.

Dr. Jackson:
Come on, Jack. Y-You think the Asgard named a-a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? Now's not the time to play dumb, you're a lot smarter than that. They saw our potential in you…because of who you are and what you've done. Humanity's potential. That's the same thing Oma saw in me.

Col. O'Neill:
I am not you.

Dr. Jackson:
Yeah, when has that ever stopped you from doing anything?

Col. O'Neill:
Okay… put yourself in my shoes and me in yours.

Dr. Jackson:
You'd be here for me.

Col. O'Neill:
Damn straight! I'd have busted you out, blown this rat hole to hell and made sure that son-of-a-bitch suffered!

Dr. Jackson:
The Others would have stopped you.

Col. O'Neill:
They'd have a hell of a fight on their hands.

Dr. Jackson:
You wouldn't do that.

Col. O'Neill:
Ba'al would be dead.

Dr. Jackson:
Jack-

Col. O'Neill:
And don't think I'd stop there!

Dr. Jackson:
[forcefully] You're a better man than that!

Col. O'Neill:
[yelling] That's where you're wrong!

Dr. Jackson:
What I'm offering you is your only way out.

Col. O'Neill:
You're wrong about that too. I have another choice

Dr. Jackson:
What are you talking about?

[O'Neill gives Jackson a significant look]

Dr. Jackson:
No.

Col. O'Neill:
Any minute, they're gonna come. Ba'al is gonna kill me again. You can make it the last time.

Dr. Jackson:
Don't ask me to do that.

Col. O'Neill:
You can put an end to it.

Dr. Jackson:
I won't do it.

Col. O'Neill:
I'd do it for you, and you know it. I don't want to see this cell again, Daniel.
