- Captain Samantha Carter: Even though we can't see them, these Reetou can definitely see us.
- Teal'c: Which puts us at a great strategic disadvantage. I understand why the Goa'uld want to eliminate them.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: They're Goa'uld, Teal'c. That's their job.
- Major General George Hammond: [It has been established that Mother is a Reetou] Charlie, how did your mother control the iris?
- Charlie: Mother came ahead of me weeks ago. She observed you and how you operate the iris. Then, when the time came, she opened it for me just as you do.
- Major General George Hammond: She just typed it into the computer?
- Captain Samantha Carter: That is how the computer behaved, sir. As if it was being overridden by another console.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: So the Reetou can operate things in our phase?
- Charlie: [Looks at Mother and then back] Yes.
- Technician: Unauthorized incoming traveler! Clear the ramp!
- Major General George Hammond: Who is it?
- Technician: No idea, sir. SG-5 and SG-14 are out, but neither are due until tomorrow.
- Major General George Hammond: No iris code?
- Technician: No, sir.
- Major General George Hammond: I did not give the order to open the iris, mister!
- Technician: I did not open it, sir.
- Major General George Hammond: Well, close it!
- Major General George Hammond: [the iris closes, but then immediately opens again] Get that iris closed, Sergeant!
- Technician: I'm trying, but the computer keeps overriding it.
- Captain Samantha Carter: We did a Level One analysis on the iris mechanism. It behaved as if control was being commandeered from the main computer by an override. Like it was being controlled from another keyboard somewhere. We have software specialists picking it apart right now.
- Captain Samantha Carter: Well, we could put palm scanners into the iris control system to prevent that. I mean, I assume they don't have palms.
- Jacob Carter: [Shakes his head no]
