- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Shifu. This is General Hammond. He's the leader of this facility.
- Major General George Hammond: Welcome to Earth.
- Shifu: A spark lights a flame but the candle will only burn as long as the wick.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: If I may, Sir. I think what he means is the wick is the centre of the candle and ostensibly a great leader like yourself is essential to the whole ball of wax. Basically what it means is, that's it's always better to have a big, long... wick.
- Kasuf: In the days of Ra, when he returned from a journey, a great storm would blow through the desert.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: It's just wind. Wind happens.
- Major Samantha Carter: We're talking about a wind that blew out of an active Stargate.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: And formed a sandstorm.
- Kasuf: You forget it said the name Sha're.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: Ahh, well, it's not like a burning bush or anything.
- Kasuf: I have seen many bushes burn.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: S'pose you have.
