"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."

"Is it just me, Sam, or does Daniel seem a little off?"

"No, it's not just you."

"Do you know something? What am I saying? Of course you know something. You know everything."

"I think he's lonely. Teal'c has Ishta. And we are now together."

"Finally!"

"Daniel's feeling a little...at odds."

"So you are saying we need to get Danny a girl!"

"Jack, speaking from experience, fix-ups are not a good idea."

"Maybe not a fix-up. Maybe he just needs a push to someone already out there. The guy has a girl on almost every planet. He just needs someone that can be reached without approval for stargate travel. What about that Sarah—the one who used to be a Ghoa'uld?"

"It didn't work out. There's a reason they broke up to begin with."

"Ok. Wait, I know the perfect girl for him."

"Really? Who?"

"Did you ever see those security tapes of the Prometheus hijacking?"

"You can't be serious. That woman was a criminal."

"But they were all over each other. Plus Danny likes fixing people. He was making headway to reforming her in just a few hours. And he was definitely into her."

"You're just trying to torture him for inviting himself and Teal'c along for this trip, aren't you?"

"Maybe a little. We're not getting enough alone time, and we're moving to other sides of the country from each other in just a couple weeks."

"You know they are going to miss you, too."

"I'll see them around, but I've been seeing them for eight years. You on the other hand..."

"You've seen me for eight years, too."

"No, I've seen Captain/Major/Lieutenant Colonel/Doctor Carter for eight years. I've seen Samantha O'Neill for three days. This was supposed to be our honeymoon."

"We'll have another one during my next leave. How are we supposed to find this woman for Daniel anyway?"

"Are you kidding? Mark my words. They didn't give me that second star for nothing. She'll be knocking on the gate in a few months with some hare-brained scheme just so she can spend some more 'quality time' with Daniel. When that happens, we make sure she stays."

"If you say so, General."
