"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."

"Carter, what are you doing?"

"I'm removing the bobber, Sir."

"I wouldn't recommend that. You're going to get the hook caught on the bottom."

"I think I need the hook to go lower to catch a fish."

"You could just reposition the bobber."

"Let me try this first, Sir."

"Ok, I'll get my pocketknife ready to cut your line free."

"Just a few times, Sir?"

"Ok."

"Hey, I caught something!"

"Probably the bottom."

"What was that, Sir?"

"Is it pulling back?"

"I don't know. Wait. I guess not."

"It's caught. Here's my knife. "

"Wait, I think I can get it."

"Don't snap the pole!"

"The pole will be fine. I'll brace the line around the arm of my chair...There! I got it! It's loose!"

"Pull it in slowly. You could still catch something else."

"Sir, I'm seeing a reflection off the hook. What is that? … Is that what I think that is? ... How in the world did I catch a ring? ... Whose is it?"

"Sam, let me have that."

"Just a second. It has an inscription."

"Sam!"

"It says, 'Always My Sam', and it has the stargate symbol for Earth... Jack, what is an engagement ring, that appears to be for me, doing at the bottom of your pond?"

"That is a long story."

"Jack, when did you buy this?"

"Shortly after the za'tarc test."

"That long ago?"

"I wanted to be prepared, in case things changed."

"And how did it end up in your pond?"

"A drunken weekend after you got your other ring."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Can I still have it?"

"You still want it?"

"I did catch it. It has my name on it. It's like it was meant to be, Jack."

"We are meant to be, Sam. I would love for you to wear my ring. Will you?"

"As long as it comes with an eventual wedding, I would love to. Because I love you, Jack."

"And I love you too, Sam."
