Abyss
Jackson: Hi Jack.
O’Neill: Daniel.
Jackson: I leave and look at the mess you get yourself into.
Jackson: It’s good to see you.
O’Neill: Yeah. You too. It’s a shame you’re a delusion.
Jackson: Oh, I’m here. I’m really here.
O’Neill: Sure you are. {he throws a shoe at—and through—him.}
Jackson: Here in the sense that my consciousness is here. Not here in the full, physical flesh and blood sense, which is really neither here nor there. The point is, you’re not imagining this.
O’Neill: I just tossed my shoe through you.
Jackson: Yes you did. That’s because I have ascended to another plane of existence.
Jackson: I’m energy now.
O’Neill: How’s that working out for you?
Jackson: Good, actually. Very good.
O’Neill: Good.
O’Neill: So you wanna be my Oma?
Jackson: You could put it that way. I wouldn’t, but maybe that’s just me.
Jackson: Open your mind.
O’Neill: Though a candle burns in my house there’s nobody home.
Jackson: Jack, who are you talking to?
O’Neill: That woman.
Jackson: There’s nobody there.
O’Neill: Looks who’s talking.
Jackson: Now please, just try to open your mind.
O’Neill: Oh… stop it, will you?
Jackson: Come on, Jack! Do you think the Asgard named a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? Now is not the time to play dumb. You’re a lot smarter than that.
Jackson: You’re a better man than that.
O’Neill: That’s where you’re wrong!
O’Neill: Daniel, you have to end this.
Jackson: Jack you just have to hang on for awhile longer.
O’Neill: No.
Jackson: It’s almost over, Jack.
O’Neill: How?
Jackson: You were right. There’s always a way out.
O’Neill: What’d you do?
Jackson: I didn’t do anything. It was Sam and Teal’c and, ah, Jonas too. They thought of something.
O’Neill: What?
Jackson: I always seem to be saying goodbye to you.
O’Neill: Yeah. I noticed that. Why don’t you stick around for awhile?
Jackson: I can’t really.
O’Neill: You just did.
Jackson: Special occasion.
O’Neill: Christmas?
Jackson: No.
O’Neill: Groundhog Day?
Jackson: No.
O’Neill: I’ve got my journey and you’ve got yours?
Jackson: Something like that, yeah.
Shadow Play
O’Neill: I have nothing against them defending themselves, but how do we know they’ll stop there?
Hammond: You sound like Dr. Jackson.
O’Neill: We spent some time together.
The Changeling
Jackson: Both can’t be real.
Teal’c: No.
Jackson: So you’re trying to figure out which of the two lives you seem to be leading is the real one. So that you can stay there. Or here. Or wherever it is you’re supposed to be once and for all.
Jackson: Maybe the answer to that question is something you haven’t even considered. Maybe neither one is real.
Teal’c: What?
Jackson: Think about it. If you can’t distinguish between them, if the one seems equally as real as the other. Maybe you don’t belong in either one.
Teal’c: Then what do I do?
Jackson: Hang in there. Just a little while longer.
Teal’c: You can’t leave me here like this!
Jackson: I haven’t left your side, Teal’c. And I’m not going to. That’s a promise.
Full Circle
Jackson: Hi Jack. Jack, Abydos is in trouble. Anubis is on his way. He’s after the Eye of Ra. I have that replica Catherine gave me. It looks like this. Now I’m pretty sure the real one is located in some secret chamber on Abydos but I’m not sure where exactly. According to legend there were six eyes, including those held by Apophis, Osiris and Tiamat among others. Each is powerful on its own, but if you use them in combination it increases that power tenfold. Recently, Anubis managed to track down five of the eyes. He only needs Ra’s to complete the set. He’s looked everywhere Ra used to hang out, except Abydos. Now he’s on his way there.
O’Neill: I was sure that was an aspirin I took this morning.
Jackson: Jack it’s me. It’s really me. You have to help, you have to find the Eye of Ra before Anubis does. I mean keep it, hide it, destroy, whatever. It doesn’t matter, we don’t have much time.
O’Neill: Hey Daniel. How’re you doing? Long time. How are things on the higher planes?
Jackson: Hey Jack. Long time no see. How are you doing?
O’Neill: Fine. Just fine.
Jackson: Good? The knees, the back, everything.
O’Neill: Oh you know, kind of weather-contingent.
Jackson: Right right right. So what’s new?
O’Neill: Um. Actually a funny thing happened to me today. I’m riding an elevator and an old friend of mine—someone who never calls, never writes—just shows up and tells me all about this very important and apparently urgent mission that needs my attention.
Jackson: Can I help, or… ?
O’Neill: No, wait. Wait. Let me tell it. It’s good. See this buddy, the pal of mine has ascended to a whole new level of existence. Do you see the irony? He’s asking for my help and he’s this great and powerful being.
Jackson: Jack, we’ve already been through this. I can’t actually do anything.
O’Neill: Yeah, I’m still not clear on that.
Hammond: Colonel, how’d you come by this intel?
O’Neill: I didn’t say?
Hammond: No, you didn’t.
O’Neill: Daniel told me.
Jonas: You saw Dr. Jackson?
O’Neill: Actually it’s not the first time.
Carter: Well is he all right?
What else did he say?
O’Neill: Woah. wait. You guys don’t think I’m… nuts or anything like that?
Teal’c: I too have recently seen Daniel Jackson.
Carter: Really?
O’Neill: Why didn’t you say something?
Teal’c: Why did you not say?
O’Neill: Well to be honest I wasn’t quite sure it was really happening the first time.
O’Neill: Do something or we walk. Right now.
Jackson: Remember that fine line we were talking about?
O’Neill: Cross it.
Jackson: Is that my stuff?
Jonas: You weren’t using it anymore.
Carter: Daniel, what is it?
Jackson: I’m an Ancient.
Carter: What?
Jackson: Not me, but the others like me. They’re the Ancients.
Anubis: I know who you are, Daniel Jackson. But you know not who I am.
Jackson: The Goa’uld Anubis used to be figured out how to ascend.
Teal’c: He was believed to have been dead for quite some time.
Jackson: The others didn’t want him.
Jonas: Well that’s understandable.
Jackson: They sent him back. At least they tried. But not all the way.
Carter: What is he now?
Jackson: He’s still some form of energy.
