"This is great."
"I told ya!"
"I can't believe we didn't do this years ago."
"Yes, well, let's not dwell."
"Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?"
"Close enough."

"I just realized. Everyone got what they wished for most for Christmas this year."
"What do you mean, Jack? I didn't get anything."
"I'm letting you go to Atlantis, Daniel."
"Oh. That's right. Finally. We'll see if it really happens, but thanks. Hopefully Sam can get the Daedalus running soon. What did Teal'c get?"
"DanielJackson, I wished for peace on Earth and good will towards Jaffa."
"See, Teal'c's more altruistic than us selfish humans, Daniel."
"I never doubted it. What about you, Jack?"
"I could say I'm just happy I don't have to speak at another one of your unnecessary memorial services, but that's not it. I got the same thing as Sam. Well, sort of, but opposite."
"What? A transfer? With all the moaning you've been doing about DC and its politicians, I thought you didn't want to go."
"No, not a transfer. Do we really have to spell it out?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Now you know how I feel when you brainiacs drone on about whatever you are always blathering about. Not Sam, though. She always knows what everyone is talking about."
"Thanks for that. I still don't know-"
"Sam, do you want to tell him?"
"No, Jack. If Daniel can't figure out what a guy and a girl who have secretly loved each other for over seven years are doing now that they are no longer in the same chain of command, I'm not going to spell it out for him. Maybe he'll figure it out tonight. For the record, my Christmas wish came true, too. "
