Dr. Daniel Jackson
- Monk: Lightning flashes, sparks shower, in one blink of your eyes you've mis-seen.
- Jack O'Neill: Lightning you say?
- Monk: I only know a snowflake cannot exist in a storm of fire.
- Jack O'Neill: What?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Jack...
- Jack O'Neill: No, I - You know me, I'm a huge fan of subtlety, but that's downright encrypted!
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Sorry, don't worry about him.
- Monk: The sun is warm, the wind is wild, the grass is green along the shores. Here no bull can hide.
- Jack O'Neill: I don't know about that.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Jack, he's speaking in the Zen Koans. Whatever theology he follows may be an original basis for Buddhism on Earth.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Well that's very nice. I'll be sure to call the Dalai Lama when we get home.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: The monk is just someone who's sort of taken up a curatorship.
- Jack O'Neill: Kind of a janitor?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: More of a guide.
- Jack O'Neill: An usher?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Jack, the markings on the wall are a language. It's a Bible. Uh, no, actually it's more of an instruction book on how to reach this ethereal plane of existence, some kind of other world. It's only natural the Jaffa who found this place would have interpreted it as passage to the afterlife.
- Jack O'Neill: Whoa, slow down there, grasshopper.
