Five-Minute Stargate


Five-Minute Stargate SG-1: "Descent"

by Nan

[SG-1, plus Jacob, Davis and some guy in a cargo ship.]
Jonas: Ooooh, I'm on a mission! In space! Cue the echo chamber. Jonaaas.... iiiin... spaaaaace...
Teal'c: Heh. Newbie.

Jacob: An abandoned ship. Hunh. With no lifesigns. Hunh.
Carter: Curiouser and curiouser. Hey, it's the ship Anubis used to capture Thor! Hunh.
Jacob: Curiouser and curiouser. Hunh.

[Teal'c and Quinn stay behind.]
Quinn: I never get to do anything.
Teal'c: Chill, man.

[On the ship...]
Jacob: Weird. Its self-destruct mode is stuck at "You still have time to save the day." Oooh, weird sounds on the comm.
O'Neill: I call dibs on the throne! And the ship.
Jacob: Don't be dumb. It could be a trap.
O'Neill: Duh, it's a trap. This is plot-forwarding dialogue.

[Carter and Davis try to access the computer core, but the door's sealed.]
Carter: Hey, the door's locked. That sucks. Now how am I supposed to demonstrate my amazing Kung Foo skills?

[Friezen sneaks away to see the new shields.]
Friezen: After all, what could possibly go wrong?

[Avec explosives, Carter, Teal'c, Davis and O'Neill break into the computer core.]
Davis: Ooooh, coolness. Flashy things.
O'Neill: Cooler yet. Other flashy things.
Carter: Sir, you may want to breathe deeply now, while you have time.

[Friezen appears to meet three of Anubis' bodyguards. All intent on mayhem.]
Friezen: I don't suppose a friendly greeting will get me anywhere?
Anubis' Bodyguards: [produce weapons] Cue theme from "Kung Fu."
Friezen: Kung Foo?
Anubis' Bodyguards: That pun is reason enough to kill you.

[On the cargo ship...]
Jonas: I never get to do anything.
Teal'c: Meh.

Carter: Hey, maybe Thor messed up this ship and sent it here for us!
Davis: Er... wha?
Carter: I'm having an S.C.G.M. here, don't interrupt.

Carter: Hey, let's get Friezen. [into radio] Yo, Friezen. Er... Friezen? Hellooo?
O'Neill: I'll go play geek fetch.

Davis: That weird sound on the comm sounds like distorted words.
Carter: Hunh.

[Friezen is dead. Of course. Those creepy bodyguards turn up and shoot Jacob, then send the ship on fatal dive into the atmosphere.]
Jacob: Why is nothing ever easy?

[Those creepy bodyguard Jaffa guys board the cargo ship. Teal'c dispatches them efficiently.]
Teal'c: Booyeah.
Jonas: You're the man.

Hammond: Go to the rescue ship.
Teal'c + Jonas: Righty.

Jonas: I suck in my passive suckitude.
Teal'c: Naw... Why am I getting the feeling we'll be having this conversation again in future episodes?
Jonas: Er... E.S.P.? Or T.F.M.?
Teal'c: That could be it.

Jacob: Ow. Ow ow ow. Ow. I suck.
O'Neill: Meh.
Carter: We're gonna be crushed to death, as the hull is compromised.
Davis: Thor may have left a virus.
Carter: Let's go mess around on the computer deck. I'm sure we won't get soaked and partly drowned, or anything like that.

[O'Neill and Carter get trapped when the ship seals off a breach area, and the level begins to flood.]
O'Neill: Why is nothing ever easy?

Davis: This is me wigging out!
Jacob: I can't save them in the nick of time.
[Pause.]
Davis: Dude...

[The security protocol is deleted. Carter and O'Neill are saved.]
O'Neill: We're alive!
Carter: Yay for dad!
Jacob: I didn't do anything.
Carter: Yay for the virus!

Carter: The virus is Thor! Yay! Let's save him.
O'Neill: Okay. Everyone except Davis, Jacob and Jonas.
Jonas: I never get to do anything.

Carter: I wonder if Thor is licensed as Open Source...

[Carter gets Thor out of the computer. The levels flood, and the autodestruct continues. They're stuck.]
Teal'c: Gliders!
Carter: Righty.
O'Neill: Is that possible?
Carter: Can't talk, coding.

O'Neill: Don't say anything that could possibly break her concentration. Nothing at all. She needs complete focus to save our lives. Complete focus. Total focus. No possible pressure...
Teal'c: What about the autodestr--
O'Neill: Teal'c! Don't break her concentration!

[Jonas goes Aquaman.]
Jonas: Must... save... day...

Carter: Hey. Cool! We're not going to die.
O'Neill: Woohoo.
Teal'c: Hey, Jonas saved us!
Carter: Hey, I saved Jonas!
O'Neill: And thus, the Karmic balance is restored.

[They escape in the gliders.]
Jonas: I'm a big, enthusiastic newbie!
O'Neill: Barrel roll!
Jonas: I'm a queasy, big, enthusiastic newbie...

Everyone: Woohoo! We're not dead!
