{91}{157}Oh, right this way.|l can see General Hammond now. {159}{234}Excuse me, sir, but|we seem to have a visitor. {236}{308}Thank you, Dr Fraiser.|l understand you're here... {310}{401}..to investigate rumours regarding|some of the people under my command. {403}{472}- Rumours, sir? lnvestigate...?|- Yes, Doctor. {474}{591}lt seems that someone in Washington|doesn't think we run a very tight ship. {593}{643}- Yes, sir.|- Don't worry. {645}{788}lt's just another fire drill so the brass|in DC can feel better about themselves. {790}{867}Doctor, if you wouldn't mind|patching them into the system. {869}{919}Yes, sir. {945}{1020}OK, look. l realise you're|on official business here,... {1022}{1109}..but, for the record, the personnel|at this command are topnotch. {1111}{1201}And, by the way, Fraiser|is spelled with an s, not a z. {3345}{3420}We did an episode|in season one, called ''Solitudes''. {3422}{3486}And really the goal was|to save a little money,... {3488}{3565}..because l had a reputation|on The Outer Limits... {3567}{3643}..of being able to make|''two people in a room'' interesting. {3645}{3733}And so l thought ''OK. But room,|room. Where am l gonna put... {3735}{3795}..Carter and O'Neill, for example?'' {3797}{3874}So l put them in a glacier,|a crevasse of a glacier. {3876}{4012}Something goes wrong with the Stargate|and they are spat out in a glacier. {4014}{4067}What's the bad news? {4069}{4186}Unless they redecorated the gate room,|l don't think we're in Kansas any more. {4188}{4238}Daniel must have misdialled. {4240}{4332}And then John Smith says|''Let's refrigerate the stage.'' {4334}{4436}''Can we do that?'' and he said ''Sure.|We'll bring in big industrial things.'' {4438}{4498}So we were able to bring in|real snow and ice,... {4500}{4557}..and when they chip it|away, that's what it is. {4559}{4659}And when Richard Dean Anderson as|O'Neill is on his back freezing to death,... {4661}{4794}..he's actually freezing his ass off -|he really was in subzero temperatures. {4796}{4906}l love that. Sometimes on a television|show, you go ''That was cool.'' {4908}{4950}That was one of those times. {4952}{5036}l'll be damned if l'm gonna die|on some godforsaken block of ice... {5038}{5102}..a million light years from home.|ls that clear? {5104}{5185}- Yes, sir.|- Good. Now help me up. {5214}{5295}- l don't think you should move.|- Probably not. {5310}{5375}But my butt's freezin'|to the ground. Come on. {5377}{5459}And l had to do this thing|where l climbed up this wall of ice... {5461}{5532}..to try to get out of|this crevasse that we're in. {5534}{5617}And l kept falling, and they|kept the cameras rolling,... {5619}{5689}..which l thought was really cruel. {5746}{5811}And l just... l had to|climb up and pull myself... {5813}{5899}..and l kept sliding down this ice wall,|and l will never forget that. {5901}{6006}l'll never forget being that cold|and that bruised and that scared... {6008}{6070}..and that exhilarated by it all. {6084}{6153}Michael Shanks, uh,... {6155}{6230}..had his appendix blow... {6255}{6344}..one day before starting|shooting on ''Nemesis''. {6346}{6468}You're so used to it, on a television show,|that you have to be there as an actor. {6470}{6585}lt's like, if you're sick, it doesn't matter|because you're in front of the camera. {6587}{6708}So l did one of the quickest|panic rewrites l'd ever done. {6710}{6838}So l was in the hospital, you know,|white-faced and in complete denial. {6840}{6937}They don't know you have appendicitis|until they cut you open and look. {6939}{7025}So it could be anything. So|l'm negotiating with the doctor,... {7027}{7088}..ten minutes before|l'm going into surgery,... {7090}{7196}..that ''Maybe it's not. Maybe l just have|indigestion from Thanksgiving dinner.'' {7198}{7255}''Maybe l need to go home.|l'll call you tomorrow.'' {7257}{7402}And the doctor is trying to convince me|in the nicest possible way that... {7404}{7491}..''lf you go home, you'll probably|be dead by tomorrow morning.'' {7493}{7564}And Brad says ''lt's OK,|l have an idea, l have an idea.'' {7566}{7718}And he goes into this elaborate...|He's come up with this wonderful... {7720}{7865}..wonderfully elaborate story line for|how we'll get Michael out of the show. {7867}{7926}Watching the scramble|l couldn't be part of,... {7928}{8049}..which was the ''How do we write him out|of the episode fast and keep him in it?'' {8051}{8138}l just sat there. Maybe it was|the end of the season and we were tired. {8140}{8232}And l said ''Why don't we|just say his appendix blew?'' {8234}{8305}- Can l see your scar?|- No. {8372}{8472}Fraiser says it'll be about a week|before you get outta here. {8474}{8536}One of the things|that always bugs me is... {8538}{8689}..why don't... why don't the daily|aspects of life ever bleed into... {8691}{8760}These guys go through|the Stargate every day,... {8762}{8860}..they fight incredible fights and|have all these things happen,... {8862}{8970}..but the sort of the...|real life never affects them. {8976}{9036}Wanna go fishin'? {9074}{9144}Actually, l wouldn't... {9146}{9198}Well, maybe... {9200}{9307}You know, l think maybe l will|just stay here for two or three days. {9309}{9431}And Richard and l mostly improvised|those little exchanges, which was fun. {9454}{9522}- Did you get your hair cut?|- Yeah. Why? {9524}{9552}No reason. {9554}{9608}We did it for the entire two-parter. {9610}{9778}ln ''Small Victories'', he's also unable to|do what he has to and is still recovering. {9784}{9876}You are fine. There's|no signs of residual infection. {9878}{9956}- You were very lucky.|- So you keep saying. {10162}{10228}One of my favourite episodes|is ''Serpent's Lair'',... {10230}{10326}..which is the second episode l did,|when they're rescued off the mother ship. {10328}{10462}And that's my favourite episode|because l got locked in a glider with Rick. {10464}{10530}Human, put this on. {10550}{10618}Will you please stop calling me ''Human''? {10631}{10691}And l found that really|interesting because... {10693}{10801}..l'm just a hair claustrophobic,|l'm not really claustrophobic. {10803}{10862}But when you're in a glider|about 1 2 feet up,... {10864}{10976}..and they put this plastic glass|sort of cage over you... {10978}{11119}..and they come with the ratchet gun...|And you think ''l don't know.'' You know? {11121}{11189}Bra'tac? Bra'tac! {11222}{11275}You OK? {11277}{11328}Not bad,... {11330}{11397}..for an old man. {11403}{11506}They say 20 minutes and it's over an hour|later and you're still up there. {11508}{11611}And meanwhile they're throwing pebbles|at you and there are wind machines. {11613}{11711}So you have to entertain yourself. So that|was a good chance to get to know Rick. {11713}{11771}And we really had a lot of fun that day. {11778}{11828}Take a look up. {12047}{12097}lt's beautiful. {12112}{12186}We had to do this trick shot.|l had to do a trick shot. {12188}{12393}They'd hired a double, who's a trick-shot|champion, and her coach to come. {12395}{12522}So this woman was gonna double me,|and l said ''Let me try it, let me try it.'' {12524}{12591}And so l kept practising and practising. {12593}{12690}And l thought ''l've got it.|l think l can do this shot myself.'' {12692}{12789}And Martin Wood said to me, just before|we were about to rehearse, he said... {12791}{12865}..''lf you sink this shot, l'll give you $100.'' {12867}{12956}And l said ''OK. l have nothing to lose.'' {12958}{13074}Did it, sunk the balls. He went ''lf you can|do that on the take, l'll double or nothing.'' {13076}{13152}So l went ''OK.'' Did it on the take. {13154}{13244}Then he asked if l wanted to double|or nothing again, and l cut my losses. {13246}{13337}l said ''No. l've got 200 bucks, US.'' {13339}{13470}And... l think l sunk it a third time.|So l should have gone double or nothing. {13472}{13567}But he was out of pocket and they told|him ''You can't bet Amanda any more.'' {13781}{13856}- How the hell did you do that?|- Wanna go double or nothin'? {13858}{13935}- No, l think l'll cut my losses.|- Smart move. {14134}{14244}l've been in... l've put myself into|almost every show that l've done. {14246}{14322}Every one except for, l think,|two that happened off world. {14324}{14392}So l've been in almost|every show that l've directed. {14394}{14512}And always in the background, almost|always somewhere with Sergeant Siler. {14521}{14630}And normally we have this giant wrench,|that we're doing something... {14632}{14685}Literally, it's that big. {14687}{14781}..that we're wandering|around doing something... {15012}{15062}Ah, excuse me. Sorry. {15071}{15122}She's all yours, General. {15124}{15191}- Well done, Sergeant. You heard the man.|- Yes, sir. {15193}{15247}l've been on the show|for five seasons... {15249}{15354}..and it's taken about|five seasons to give me a name,... {15356}{15421}..cos in the script l'm just ''Technician''. {15423}{15479}So l get the scripts|and whip through them. {15481}{15607}''Oh, yeah. Teal'c, Sam Carter, O'Neill...|Oh, Technician. Great! OK, good.'' {15621}{15679}lncoming traveller. lncoming traveller. {15681}{15749}Sometimes it's just|''Chevron one, chevron two...'' {15751}{15774}Chevron two encoded. {15776}{15819}''Chevron three, chevron four.'' {15821}{15853}Chevron four encoded. {15855}{15916}All the way up to|''Chevron seven locked. '' {15918}{15968}Chevron seven locked. {16078}{16174}They never refer to me by name.|lt's just Sergeant or Technician. {16183}{16239}Sir, we're go for a systems restart. {16241}{16269}Proceed, Sergeant. {16271}{16346}ln one episode they said|they'd call me Walter. {16348}{16420}And that was Richard Dean Anderson|calling me Walter. {16502}{16557}Walter? {16559}{16636}Then l find out... They go|''No, that's not your name,... {16638}{16734}..cos Walter Davis didn't clear,|so we can't use that'',... {16736}{16786}..but even though they filmed it. {16788}{16893}And then they go|''Your name's Harriman Davis.'' {16895}{16994}Where did they pull that from?|So it's Harriman Davis. l go ''OK, fine.'' {16996}{17093}And then they gave me my flight suit|and it says ''Norman Davis'' on it. {17095}{17201}So l've got like three names,|none of which anybody ever uses. {17203}{17283}lt's always just Technician,|Technician, Technician. {17321}{17364}And... action! {17369}{17441}- You've been working very hard.|- No harder than usual. {17443}{17543}That's my point. Your pre-mission|blood test did show slight anaemia. {17545}{17678}Teryl and l... yeah,|we're idiots, we're both goofs. {17680}{17844}We're both very spazzy and we both have|these really wacky senses of humour. {17846}{17967}So, as soon as we met and realised Teryl|was gonna be a regular on the show,... {17969}{18072}..the thing that was important was that|our characters were friends, not rivals. {18074}{18124}- Oh, hey, Sam?|- Yeah? {18126}{18245}Cassie is staying at a friend's tonight.|So what do you say? Girls' night out? {18247}{18397}These two women are very strong,|very smart, very together women. {18399}{18487}And yet, off camera,|we're a bunch of idiots. {18489}{18589}We have alter ego characters|where she's Minnie and l'm Turleen,... {18591}{18676}..and we go to the Marvell Beauty School|and we do this all the time. {18678}{18732}lt's Turleen and Minnie. {18734}{18818}l think Turleen's specialty is|frostin' tips and mine is permanents. {18820}{18894}And we've just got this whole|wacky character thing we do. {18896}{18962}- l fail permanents all the time.|- l got it wrong. {18964}{19026}l said your speciality was frostin' tips. {19028}{19101}Oh, that's very true.|l fail permanents all the time. {19103}{19173}But l fail frostin' tips.|She's excellent at them. {19175}{19232}We go to the Marvell Beauty School. {19424}{19517}We had heard that Kurt Russell|was coming to Vancouver... {19519}{19584}..to do 3000 Miles to Graceland... {19586}{19659}..and that he was actually|gonna be shooting on this lot. {19661}{19753}So we sent an invitation out to him|to visit us and he accepted it... {19755}{19809}..and he came by and it was great. {19811}{19943}lt was really fun for all of us,|including the crew, to see him,... {19945}{20010}..because he started it all|with the feature. {20012}{20099}Kurt wasn't here that long, but|long enough to take a little tour,... {20101}{20152}..and he was very impressed by the sets. {20154}{20318}And then he did a picture-taking session|with Rick on the ramp of the Stargate. {20320}{20380}lt was weird because|he was dressed as Elvis. {20382}{20443}The before and after of Jack O'Neill. {20516}{20658}l can only see a wolf, Tonané. A beautiful|animal, granted, but not a spirit. {20660}{20760}''Spirits'' was great because|we had this wolf, who wasn't a wolf. {20762}{20820}lt was a dog that looked like a wolf. {20822}{20939}But... the weird thing is that there's not|a lot of dogs that look like wolves... {20941}{21008}..that you can get to do anything. {21010}{21060}So, we had these trainers come in. {21062}{21153}They were saying ''Don't expect|this wolf to do very much.'' {21155}{21233}''And, by the way, we have to tie its tail.'' {21235}{21291}So they took monofil to tie its tail down,... {21293}{21375}..because wolves don't have tails|that stand up like a dog's. {21377}{21506}So this poor wolf, or this poor dog, is|running around with its tail tied down,... {21508}{21548}..and it didn't do anything. {21550}{21678}We sat for an hour one day,|trying to get this thing to... react,... {21680}{21741}..to do something other than go... {21774}{21863}Finally, the director of photography,|Jim Menard, goes ''Let me try.'' {21865}{21948}And d'you remember Paul Hogan|in Crocodile Dundee... {21950}{22046}..did this little thing with his hand|when he goes... (buzzes) {22048}{22150}Well, there's a shot in ''Spirits''|where you see the wolf go... {22192}{22297}lt's Jim Menard behind|the camera going... (buzzes) {22299}{22424}And this wolf is reactin' to it. Followed|him around for the rest of the day. {22514}{22580}A little flattery couldn't hurt, Sam. {22635}{22705}My, what big eyes you have. {22864}{22907}lt worked. {23128}{23159}Yes! {23194}{23293}Ooh! God, l'm sorry.|l didn't hurt you, did l? {23315}{23386}- l am fine.|- So we were doing this one shot... {23388}{23484}..where the camera is behind us and|Thor and l are standing side by side,... {23486}{23576}..looking at this big,|green screen of special effects,... {23578}{23706}..and whoever was controlling the puppet|put Thor's arm up so it touched my bum. {23723}{23773}lt sort of... it was quite funny. {23775}{23868}And l turned, without even thinking,|and just smacked him. {23870}{23938}And there was this big,|resounding waaah off the puppet. {23940}{24056}And then l apologised to the puppet.|l went ''Oh, my God, l'm sorry.'' {24058}{24119}Sorr... oh. Oh, you're a puppet. {24184}{24203}Sorry. {24205}{24287}l love things like that. And that|happens all the time on our show. {24289}{24374}Just little goofy things that|the audience will never see,... {24376}{24455}..but that make coming to work|every day really fun. {24644}{24710}l think it's about time for you to go. {24712}{24806}- l'll be anxious to see your final report.|- l wouldn't worry, General. {24808}{24878}l think Teal'c is looking forward|to a trip to Washington. {24880}{24992}l'm sure he won't mind making a house|call if anything incriminating turns up. {24994}{25056}Why, Doctor, l think you're right. {25079}{25138}Do have a safe trip back.
