It's not "Door to Heaven", it's... "STARGATE".
Dr. Daniel Jackson (On a recording of his notes about the symbols after two weeks of no progress)
I'm never gonna get paid.
...because he is saying "come with us"...
Dr. Daniel Jackson (to Col. O'Neill)
I don't want to die. And your men don't want to die, and these people certainly don't want to die. It's a shame you're in such a hurry to.
Dr. Daniel Jackson Here, look at this. It says, "A traveler from distant stars escaped from a dying world, looking for a way to extend his own life. His body decaying and weak, he couldn't prevent his own demise." Apparently his whole species was becoming extinct. So he traveled or searched the galaxies, looking for a way to cheat death. Look here: "He came to a world rich with life, where he encountered a primitive race." Humans, heh. A species which with all his powers and knowledge he'd maintain indefinitely. He realized, within a human body, he had a chance for a new life. Now, apparently he found a young boy. It says, "As the frightened villagers ran, night became day. Curious and without fear, he walked towards the light." Ra took him and possessed his body, like some kind of a... parasite looking for a host. Inhabiting this human form, he appointed himself ruler. He used the Stargate to bring thousands of people here to this planet as workers... for the mines. (...) Now, something happened back on Earth. A rebellion or uprising and the Stargate was buried there. Fearful of a rebellion here, Ra outlawed reading and writing. He didn't want the people to remember the truth...
Dr. Daniel Jackson HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Dr. Daniel Jackson Well, the translation of the inner track is wrong. Must've used Budge. I don't know why they keep reprinting his books.

O'Neil and Daniel
[The room shakes and O'Neil and Daniel suddenly look at each other, Ra's teleport ring control (on the arm of the deceased Anubis) and back at each other]
I've got an idea!
[On Ra's ship, the rings activate. Confused, Ra goes to the rings to investigate. The bomb rings on board counting down from less then ten seconds. Ra, retaking his true shape, looks on in horror and shock as the bomb detonates, destroying his ship and killing him. On the planet below, everyone witnesses the explosion and cheers]

[Daniel leans over and kisses Sha'uri]
You job here is to realign the Stargate. Can you do that or not?
Daniel I can't.
You can't or you won't?
Daniel I can decipher the symbols on the Stargate but I need an order of alignment. Those coordinates were marked on tablets back on Earth, there's must be something like that here. I just need to find it.
Kawalsky (O'Neil walks away, visibly upset)
"Find it"? What do you mean "find it"? You didn't say about finding anything.
Daniel Well, I assumed the tablet would be here, right here.
You assumed?
Kawalsky YOU'RE A LYING SON OF A BITCH! (knocks Daniel over) YOU DIDN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT FINDING ANYTHING!
Kawalsky, set up a base camp down here. Organize our supplies.
Kawalsky Sir-
You've got your orders.
