"You know, Sir, I always thought fishing was a euphemism."
"What?"
"A euphemism: an inoffensive substitution for something else. But here we are, actually fishing."
"I know what euphemism means, Carter. What did you think fishing was a euphemism for?"
"Well… you know."
"I don't think I do. Why don't you pretend this is one of your great theories and spell it out for me?"
"Well... umm…"
"Carter!"
"I thought you meant sex."
"What!?"
"I thought you meant sex!"
"You thought I was inviting you up here for sex?"
"Yes, Sir."
"So let me get this straight, a few years ago, when you almost accepted my invitation but Thor kidnapped me, you were agreeing to…"
"Yeees."
"And when you accept my invitation this time, you were agreeing to…"
"Yessss."
"If that's really the case, what are we doing out here?"
"I thought we were fishing."
"I really like fishing, but seriously, why didn't you speak up sooner?"
"I thought I just did."
"Daniel! Teal'c! You two take over here. I need Carter's help with something inside the cabin that has been neglected for a few years. We'll see you in a couple of hours."
