"I was a little worried after last night."
"After last night? Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that."
"Of course I did! I think your neighbors two miles down the road know I did. I'm just worried about everything else."
"Sam, your transfer has gone through. Hammond and the President understood that I would only take my new position if we were allowed to pursue a relationship. So what's to worry about?"
"No, I didn't mean that."
"Then what is it?"
"In the alternate universes, when we...got together, Earth was defeated by the Goa'uld."
"That's what has been holding you back? You thought if we got our acts together the world would end?"
"It was a consideration."
"So what changed?"
"We've gotten pretty good at saving the world from our own messes. Better than those alternate versions of us. Also, we can always call the Asgard for help like the second Dr. Carter did. Based on the other universes, we should have a few months to a year before the other shoe drops and some evil race from another galaxy comes trying to force us to worship them."
"Are you saying I have Thor to thank for our new sex life?"
"Maybe just a little. But the quality of that sex life is all you."
