Quotes from Stargate: SG-1
Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks)
Season One
Daniel Jackson: So this man who looked like Ra. He must have come through another gate.
Carter: What other gate?
O'Neill: A Stargate?
Carter: Stargate only goes here.
Daniel Jackson: You're wrong about that.
Daniel Jackson: So I figured there had to be more to this place, so I started exploring. Just the area around the town and the pyramid at first, and after about a month I found this place. Captain Doctor, you're going to love this.
Daniel Jackson: Jack, I think that this is a map of a vast network of Stargates. Stargates that are all over the galaxy.
O'Neill: You're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders.
Jackson: I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My wife is out there. And so is Skaara.
O'Neill: And the only way we're going to get them back is for you to come home with us! Feretti might have seen those coordinates
Jackson: General, hi. Daniel Jackson. We've never met. I'd like to be on the team that goes after them.
General Hammond: You're not in any position to make demands, Jackson.
O'Neill: Hey.
Jackson: They don't know what to do with me. And I don't know what to do with myself.
O'Neill: Come on. Let's get out of here.
Jackson: This beer is going straight to my head. What time is it anyway? I must have gatelag or something.
O'Neill: Daniel, for crying out loud. You've had one beer. You're a cheaper date than my wife was.
Jackson: Yes. When am I going to meet your wife?
O'Neill: Oh! Probably, ah, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time she'd already left.
Jackson: I'm sorry.
O'Neill: Yeah, so was I. I think in her heart she forgave me for what happened to our kid. Just in her heart she couldn't forget.
Jackson: What about you?
O'Neill: I'm the opposite. I'll never forgive myself. But sometimes I can forget. Sometimes.
General Hammond: Colonel, what do we know about these hostiles we didn't yesterday?
O'Neill: Not a hell of a lot, General. The Abydon boys who survived the attack on the base camp thought it was Ra.
General Hammond: I thought he was dead, gentlemen. Which is it?
Jackson: Oh he's dead. He's definitely dead. I mean, uh, the bomb... I mean he's gotta be dead, right?
Jackson: Wait a minute. The legend goes, Ra's race was dying. He survived by taking over the body of his human host, an Egyptian boy. But who's to say more of his kind couldn't do the same thing. I mean this could happen anytime anywhere there's a gate. This could be happening right now.
Jackson: How is it that you always come up with the worst case scenario?
O'Neill: I practice.
About the lack of light on P3X-797
Jackson: This is crazy. We don't know what could be there waiting for us when we come through.
Makepeace: Don't you worry, boys. That's why the SG-3 Marines are coming with. You can count on us to watch your backsides.
Jackson: Actually it's more my front side I was worried about.
Jackson: Wow. What happened to you?
O'Neill: Oh I got in a little wrestling match with Carter.
Jackson: Why?
O'Neill: I guess she's got whatever Johnson got. I had to drag her off to the infirmary.
Jackson: What, did she start a fight with you like Johnson did with Teal'c?
O'Neill: No, uh, she tried to seduce me.
Jackson: Oh. pause. You poor man.
Carter: Daniel, find me an anthropologist that dresses like this and I will eat this headdress.
Jackson: How is it that you always come up with the worst case scenario?
O'Neill: I practice.
Jackson: This tastes like chicken.
Carter: So what's wrong with it?
Jackson: It's macaroni and cheese.
O'Neill: Let's go. We've got company.
Jackson: Are you sure? a dart lands near his head
O'Neill: Pretty sure.
Jackson: They were probably just instructed to just take Connor, send us a message that Hanson's in control.
Carter: Hm. Sounds familiar.
Jackson: Which part?
Carter: He likes control.
Jackson: Well what did you see in him?
Carter: I don't know. I guess I've always had a soft spot for the lunatic fringe.
Jackson: Um. Do things feel a little... off here?
Carter: Are you crazy? It's a paradise.
Jackson: Yeah, sure, have an apple. What could happen?
Teal'c: You received permission for me to fire my staff weapon in the gate room?
Carter: Oh yeah.
Jackson: Absolutely.
Season Two
Jackson: This is the Hall of Might?
Gairwyn: You were expecting something different?
Jackson: Well, uh... maybe a hall.
Hiding in a storage closet
Jackson: I won't lie to you. There is a problem. We have to find Jack.
Tonané: Okay. He's not in here.
O'Neill: How do I know you're really Daniel?
Jackson: Because.
O'Neill: Yeah, okay.
Jackson: As I've been trying to tell the General and the good doctor here, I am not Machello. I am Daniel Jackson.
O'Neill: Here we go.
Jackson: I realize what I look like. But I'm telling you, that machine somehow switched us.
Fraiser: He, ah, knows a lot about Daniel.
Jackson: Ask me anything. Something only Daniel would know.
Carter: Okay. Who's Cassandra?
Jackson: She's a twelve-year-old girl we found abandoned on P8X-987.
O'Neill: P8X— ?
Carter: 987.
O'Neill: Alright, lucky guess.
Hammond: Where was the Stargate found?
Jackson: At a dig in Giza.
O'Neill: Alright, describe for me the dress your sister wore last week when I took her out.
Jackson: I don't have a sister, Jack, and if I did, I wouldn't let you near her.
Hammond: Okay, let's assume you are Daniel Jackson. Then who the hell did we send home?
Jackson: The Goa'uld use hosts because they think they are better than humans. Because they believe they deserve it. You're a Goa'uld, Machello. I am nothing but a host to you.
Machello (in Daniel): I am not a Goa'uld.
Jackson: Isn't he a little young to be a host?
Selmak: He is young. But the Tok'ra symbiote that we introduce to his mind can teach him. He will grow up with the advantages that great wisdom brings.
O'Neill: Two keywords there: grow up.
Jackson: We're the first people in human history to go back in time... well, for all we know. If we could figure out how to do this again, just think of what we could do. We could actually visit Babylon. We could, we could— We could see the Great Wall of China being built.
An officer asks them (in Russian) if they're spies.
Jackson: Nyet.
O'Neill: Daniel?
Jackson: He just asked if we were Soviet spies. I just— realizes the problem
Guard: Come with me.
O'Neill: Sure. You bet. {on the way out} Nyet?
O'Neill: Listen, I don't know where we're headed but they'll probably try to split us up. So we're not going to have much time to—
Carter: Escape and hopefully live out the rest of our lives without affecting history.
O'Neill: Or?
Carter: I can't think of an "or" at the moment, sir.
Jackson: No "or"?
O'Neill: There's an "or."
Jackson: There's an "or"?
Carter: Sir, you can't just will something to happen because you want it to be a certain way.
O'Neill: Captain, where there's a will there's an "or."
Jackson: So what's the plan?
O'Neill: Find the Stargate.
Jackson: That's the plan? "Find the Stargate"?
O'Neill: Elegant in its simplicity, don't you think?
Carter: In order to preserve our past Catherine has to meet you years from now.
Jackson: So we go in disguise. Pretend to be... foreigners.
O'Neill: How are you going to do that?
Jackson: Well I speak twenty-three different languages. Pick one.
Season Three
O'Neill: Alright. Who's this Setesh fella?
Jackson: Otherwise known as Setec. Set. Seti. Seth. Ancient Egyptian god of chaos. The embodiment of hostility and... outright evil.
Hammond: Why haven't we heard of him before?
Jackson: Well I'm guessing we haven't even scratched the surface on meeting all the Goa'uld System Lords. There's probably thousands we haven't even heard of, right?
Jacob: Only dozens in the ranks of System Lords. Thousands of Goa'ulds in general.
Jason Levinson: You guys came prepared. I'm going with you.
Jackson: I think it'd be safer for everyone if you wait for us here.
Jackson: The second Goa'uld representative we're expecting is Yu.
O'Neill: Me?
Jackson: Yu is the name of the Goa'uld.
O'Neill: Ah. Sorry.
Teal'c: I have given my allegiance to you, to the SGC and to the people of this world freely. I will however not see to the petty needs of these Goa'uld.
Jackson: I'll... see to the petty needs of the Goa'uld, sir.
Teal'c: I did not attack Kronos.
Jackson: Well we believe you, Teal'c. But I don't think anyone else is going to.
Carter: We can't prove anything, sir. All we know for sure is that Nirrti lied.
O'Neill: Kronos doesn't know that. Nirrti doesn't know what else we know.
Jackson: Which is nothing.
O'Neill: Quiet.
Jackson: Do you believe in ghosts?
O'Neill: Ah... no.
Jackson: Neither do I. Which means there has to be a logical explanation.
Jackson: I translated a phrase in the tablet that I thought meant "attack." But when I refined the translation, I realized it means "to enter by infiltration."
O'Neill: And you think that's what they're doing?
Jackson: Yes.
O'Neill: Through your closet?
Jackson: They're here. They've entered by infiltration and now they want me as a host.
O'Neill: All nine of them?
Jackson: That sounds crazy, huh?
O'Neill: Mm.... yeah. You gotta admit there are some holes in your theory here.
Jackson: Well it's a theory, not a proof.
Jackson: I saw something come out of me and go into Teal'c. And then I heard Machello's voice.
O'Neill: Ah... Machello?
Jackson: Just, just hear me out. I'm guessing it wasn't actually Machello. It was probably some sort of technological or organic recording. And it said something about delivering Machello to the Goa'uld. Which made me start thinking. Maybe I had some sort of... Goa'uld-killing invention inside of me. One of Machello's inventions.
O'Neill: And that's what made you... nuts?
Jackson: Well since I don't have a Goa'uld the side effect of his invention must make normal people act like they're...
O'Neill: Nuts.
Jackson: Look, Teal'c is sick, right?
O'Neill: Right.
Jackson: Well he does have a Goa'uld.
O'Neill: Hello, children. Daniel. No child labor laws here on Orban?
Jackson: No, these are Urrone. They're like apprentices to the adults. They're everywhere.
Jackson: So when you say he gave you his knowledge, you meant it literally.
Kalan: It was a beautiful ceremony.
O'Neill: All right, I gotta know. What the hell does "kree" mean?
Jackson: Well, actually, it means a lot of things. Loosely translated it means "attention," "listen up," "concentrate—"
O'Neill: "Yoo hoo"?
Jackson: It doesn't make any sense. When a Goa'uld occupies a planet they usually control the Stargate, and this Gate had no markings of any— {hits a forcefield} Found something.
Aris Boch: Dr. Jackson. If you don't mind treating my wound.
Jackson: I'm an archaeologist.
Aris Boch: I know. But you're also a doctor.
Jackson: Of archaeology.
Jackson: Jack, he disabled the DHD and Sam said we can't fly that ship all the way home.
O'Neill: So we'll fly it to a closer planet with a Stargate.
Jackson: Good thinking.
O'Neill: It happens.
Teal'c: You must enter the correct combination of five.
O'Neill: How many combinations can there be?
Jackson: Oh boy.
Jackson: You don't seem to have much of a problem trading human lives like commodities.
Aris Boch: Oh, you Earthlings and your morality.
Jackson: Most Goa'uld that we've encounterd that have enslaved ancient human populations have taken on roles of other culture’s deities. Ra, Apophis, Hathor, from the Egyptian pantheon—
O'Neill: Yeah yeah yeah. We got it.
Jackson: Well if these people were already Christians when they were taken from Earth It suggests that this Gou'ald is playing—
O'Neill: God? As in God, God? That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Simon: The time of sacrifice is at hand. The elders will have to perform the trepanning ritual tonight to cleanse her.
Jackson: Oh no.
O'Neill: What?
Jackson: It was a procedure often done in the Middle Ages. They drill a hole in the person's head. By drilling a hole the evil spirits are released thus saving the person from eternal damnation.
O'Neill: Thus saving a person?
Jackson: Well they didn't call them the Dark Ages because it was dark.
Jackson: I think we were wrong about this Goa'uld. He isn't playing God. He's playing the Devil.
Carter: We were on P8X-873. We were freeing the Abydonians whom the Goa'uld had taken as slaves.
O'Neill: Kasuf sent for us.
Jackson: Shar'e was there.
Carter: Yeah.
O'Neill: She's dead, Daniel. I'm sorry.
Jackson: How?
Teal'c: It is I who am responsible. I was forced to fire upon and terminate the life of Shar'e. Although I assure you, it was done only to save your life.
Jackson: No.
Carter: No?
Jackson: No. They have a sarcophagus. Her guards put her in the sarcophagus. She's out there somewhere alive.
Jackson: You should have waited longer. I would have gotten through to her.
O'Neill: She was trying to kill you, Daniel.
Jackson: No she wasn't trying to kill me. Amonet was trying to kill me.
Hammond: Is there something I can help you with, Dr. Jackson?
Jackson: Yes sir. I've come to tender my resignation.
Hammond: I won't accept it.
Jackson: I'm not military, sir. And it's a free country. Last I checked anyway.
Hammond: You're obviously in an emotional state right now. You're making rash decisions. Why don't you take some personal time. Then see how you feel.
Jackson: That's not necessary, sir. I joined this program so that I could find my wife. I found her. End of story.
O'Neill: You should meet the whiz kid they saddled us with while you're out of commission.
Jackson: Robert Rothman. He was my research assistant when I was doing my dissertation. Smart guy. Ah, had a good teacher.
O'Neill: Geek.
Jackson: Yes. You used to call me that.
O'Neill: I was talking about you.
O'Neill: We both know you can't stay away.
Jackson: Then I guess we're both wrong. Because I'm gone.
O'Neill: Give it a week. You'll miss me.
Teal'c: Is there not some form of human ritual in which I may ask your forgiveness?
Jackson: No.
Sha're: You must continue. So you can find the boy.
Jackson: Where is he?
Sha're: To continue your travels, you must first forgive Teal'c. He did what is right.
Jackson: He killed you.
Sha're: Yes.
Jackson: But you're here.
Sha're: Yes. Now go back to sleep.
Jackson: It was a beautiful ceremony, Good Father.
Kasuf: It was. My heart is still burdened.
Jackson: Why? Your daughter is with the God.
Kasuf: Yes. But you still have not heard her.
Jackson: I don't understand.
Kasuf: What she has to say is important. To all of our future.
Sha're: You must forgive Teal'c.
Jackson: Yes. You already told me that.
Sha're: And together you must find the boy.
Teal'c: If two hosts were to mate and have a child, that child would contain all the knowledge of the Goa'uld.
Jackson: So the genetic memory that Goa'uld have in their DNA is passed on to the human offspring.
Teal'c: That is correct. Such children are called Harcesis. These children are hunted down and destroyed by the Goa'uld with great impunity.
Jackson: So the offspring—the Harcesis—would contain all the knowledge, all the secrets of the Goa'uld that—
Teal'c: Yes, Daniel.
Jackson: I've given it some thought and I decided I'd like to come back.
O'Neill: May I ask what changed your mind? You were fairly adamant.
Jackson: I don't know. Let's just say that there's something through the Stargate that I think I still have to be the one to find.
O'Neill: Now see, I've missed that. I have no idea what he means but I buy it.
Jackson: Keb is a myth.
Sha're: No.
Jackson: Where is it?
Sha're: Promise me you will save the child.
Jackson: I promise.
Teal'c: I am sorry, Daniel Jackson.
Jackson: You did the right thing, Teal'c.
Jackson: She found your world because of us. Through of one of our computers. And that's why we're going to do everything in our power to help.
Ke'ra: I know you will.
Jackson: There's a test, it compares what we call DNA. It proves that you and Linea are the same person.
Ke'ra: Well the test is wrong. I'm not Linea.
Jackson: No you're not. You're Ke'ra now. Ke'ra is wonderful. As long as you remain that person that will never change.
Ke'ra: You're telling me that I would never be able to take the antidote. I would never harm anyone, Daniel. Do you believe me?
Jackson: I do.
Jackson: You've taken the antidote.
Ke'ra: Leave, Daniel.
Jackson: You said all debts have now been paid. That was the message Linea left behind.
Ke'ra: Was it?
Jackson: Did you take the antidote?
Ke'ra: I had to know, Daniel. I didn't believe you.
Jackson: Ke'ra—
Ke'ra: I'm not Ke'ra, am I? I am the murderer you said I was.
O'Neill: How did Jolinar get out?
Martouf: She never said.
Jackson: No one ever asked her how she escaped from an inescapable prison?
Martouf: She was found unconscious and badly injured in a tel'tak—a cargo ship floating adrift in space. Her recovery was long and painful. She was encouraged to remember how she escaped but she refused to speak of it.
Martouf: ...Especially if that Goa'uld is Sokar.
Hammond: He's really that much worse than the others?
Jackson: Of all the gods he picked to impersonate, he chose the Devil.
O'Neill: The smells keep getting better and better don't they.
Jackson: This, ah, doesn't look encouraging.
O'Neill: So. Who's on trial?
Jackson: -ad.
O'Neill: Triad... al.
Carter: So you built that Stargate?
Narim: Yes.
Jackson: Way smarter than we are.
O'Neill: Ours is bigger.
Carter: The probe indicates sustainable atmosphere. The temperature's seventy-eight degrees fahrenheit, barometric pressure is normal.
Jackson: No obvious signs of civilization.
Carter: P4X-884 looks like an untouched paradise, sir.
Teal'c: Appearances may be deceiving.
O'Neill: One man's ceiling is another man's floor.
Jackson: A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell.
O'Neill: Never run with scissors.
Jackson: Wow. This coffee's great.
Carter: I was just thinking that.
O'Neill: Is that cinnamon?
Jackson: It's chickory.
Jackson: Your Eminence, our government has asked us to return to Tollana to arrange formal diplomatic relations with your people.
High Chancellor Travell: Consider it done. You are, after all, the people who saved us from the Goa'uld.
Jackson: Thank you. Yes. Well. In that spirit we'd like to arrange for a trade.
High Chancellor Travell: What would you like to trade?
Jackson: Technology.
High Chancellor Travell: I'm sorry. You know that is the one thing we cannot give you. Tollan law strictly forbids it.
Jackson: Okay, we understand that. However in our culture laws can be changed when it's deemed that the reasons for those laws are no longer relevant.
High Chancellor Travell: The reasons for these laws are still relevant.
Jackson: What are you doing?
O'Neill: We never should have saved their technologically-superior butts. This is that thing they disable our weapons with, isn't it?
Teal'c: As well as the Goa'uld technology.
Jackson: Don't even think about it.
Jackson: Jack, you're crossing a line.
O'Neill: Shut up, Daniel.
Hammond: So, what did you have to promise them in return, Dr. Jackson?
Jackson: Actually, General, we didn't, ah... promise to give them anything.
Hammond: They just gave you the device as a reward for saving them from the Goa'uld?
Jackson: Actually, General, the Tollan refused to give us any technology.
O'Neill: Offered us a nice fruit basket though.
Jackson: You got another one of those?
O'Neill: Yeah.
Jackson: Feel like sharing?
O'Neill: A beer? Sure.
Jackson: So this whole friendship thing that we've been working on the past few years?
O'Neill: Apparently not much of a foundation there, huh?
Hammond: Since SG-1 is considered the flagship unit, it falls on me to assure that you have the strongest possible leadership. Therefore I'm reassigning the most senior officer we have in the field as your new commanding officer. Colonel Makepeace will be joining SG-1 immediately. I hope you'll make him feel welcome.
Jackson: Sir, ah, I don't want to seem out of line here but, ah... since I'm a civilian here I'm probably the only one that can say this...
Hammond: Spit it out, Doctor.
Jackson: Well, no offense, but doesn't Major Carter deserve to take charge of SG-1?
Hammond: Major Carter has an exemplary record on the team, as recognized by her recent promotion to Major. But Major is a far cry from Colonel.
Carter: I understand, General.
Jackson: I'm sorry, I don't. What difference does it make what title she has? The point is—
Carter: It's all right, Daniel. Really.
Makepeace: I'm proud to join you folks. I hope you will learn to trust my command as much as you did Colonel O'Neill's.
Carter: I'm sure we will, sir.
Jackson: I never really trusted Jack's command, but... I'm open.
O'Neill: Obviously the whole friendship thing, the foundation, it's all solid.
Jackson: Obviously.
O'Neill: Nothing to worry about. No, I feel a little.... I do appreciate that you were the one who came to see if I was okay. That means something.
Jackson: Ah, actually no it doesn't.
O'Neill: Hm?
Jackson: Um... we drew straws. I lost.
Jackson: No no no no! Nick! Nick, I'm real! I'm real! You're not hallucinating!
Nicholas Ballard: Hallucinations always say that.
Jackson: You could fit every pyramid on Earth inside this thing and still have room to spare.
O'Neill: Could you imagine heating this place?
Season Four
O'Neill: What kind of archaeologist carries a weapon?
Jackson: Uh... I do.
Markov: The sub is Swiss.
Jackson: So they occasionally catch fire, but they keep perfect time. pause Sorry. I think I've been hanging around Jack O'Neill too much.
Jackson: This is a radio. It's so my friends can find me, and shoot you.
Unas refusing food: Ka!
Jackson: Now don't say Ka until you've tried it.
Jackson: Mak tal shree! Lok tak. Mekta satak Oz! Mok tal Oz kree!
Jackson: I don't think they bought my act.
Jacob: Why? Who'd you say you were?
Jackson: The... ah... Great and Powerful Oz.
Colonel Simmons: Need I remind you, Dr. Jackson, of the dangers that we're trying to defend Earth against?
Jackson: Oh, could you? I mean, go slow.
Season Five
Carter: If it comes right down to it, we can detonate it right here. What's our position?
Jackson: Well, personally, I'm against it. But if you want to know where the ship is, we're about five meters above the surface at the bottom of the crater.
Kershaw: I feel better just knowing there's an archaeologist watching our backs.
Jackson: Yeah, which end do the bullets go in again?
Season Six
Jackson: Hi Jack.
O'Neill: Daniel.
Jackson: I leave and look at the mess you get yourself into.
Jackson: It's good to see you.
O'Neill: Yeah. You too. It's a shame you're a delusion.
Jackson: Oh, I'm here. I'm really here.
O'Neill: Sure you are. {he throws a shoe at—and through—him.}
Jackson: Here in the sense that my consciousness is here. Not here in the full, physical flesh and blood sense, which is really neither here nor there. The point is, you're not imagining this.
Jackson: I just tossed my shoe through you.
O'Neill: Yes you did. That's because I have ascended to another plane of existence.
O'Neill: I'm energy now.
Jackson: How's that working out for you?
O'Neill: Good, actually. Very good.
Jackson: Good.
O'Neill: So you wanna be my Oma?
Jackson: You could put it that way. I wouldn't, but maybe that's just me.
Jackson: Open your mind.
O'Neill: Though a candle burns in my house there's nobody home.
Jackson: Jack, who are you talking to?
O'Neill: That woman.
Jackson: There's nobody there.
O'Neill: Looks who's talking.
Jackson: Now please, just try to open your mind.
O'Neill: Oh... stop it, will you?
Jackson: Come on, Jack! Do you think the Asgard named a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? Now is not the time to play dumb. You're a lot smarter than that.
Jackson: You're a better man than that.
O'Neill: That's where you're wrong!
O'Neill: Daniel, you have to end this.
Jackson: Jack you just have to hang on for awhile longer.
O'Neill: No.
Jackson: It's almost over, Jack.
O'Neill: How?
Jackson: You were right. There's always a way out.
O'Neill: What'd you do?
Jackson: I didn't do anything. It was Sam and Teal'c and, ah, Jonas too. They thought of something.
O'Neill: What?
Jackson: I always seem to be saying goodbye to you.
O'Neill: Yeah. I noticed that. Why don't you stick around for awhile?
Jackson: I can't really.
O'Neill: You just did.
Jackson: Special occasion.
O'Neill: Christmas?
Jackson: No.
O'Neill: Groundhog Day?
Jackson: No.
O'Neill: I've got my journey and you've got yours?
Jackson: Something like that, yeah.
Season Seven
Quinn: Well, can't you do some kind of a... keyword search?
Jackson: For what? "Achilles"?
Quinn: Well, that's good. I'm glad to see that your memory's finally coming back. Not to mention your razor-sharp wit.
O'Neill: What's your situation?
Jackson: I'm hiding. What's yours?
Jackson: Okay, well... There's no easy way to tell you this so... Sam's just gonna come right out and say it.
Sam gives him a look.
Carter: Well, sir... as you know, the Asgard depend on cloning technology...
Young O'Neill: Oh, for cryin' out loud...
Teal'c: You have been cloned, O'Neill.
Season Eight
Jackson: Hmm...Deja vu.
Teal'c: I do not understand your meaning.
Jackson: Oh, it means, uh I feel like I've been here before.
Teal'c: Then you are correct Dr. Jackson, we were previously on this planet not too long ago.
Jackson: Right. What was I thinking.
Jackson: Teal'c, I know it isn't your strongest suit, but this is not the time for jokes.
Jackson: What's this?
Carter: This is [ethylpropyl-something].
Jackson: Which is?
Carter: Nerve gas.
Jackson: Okay. Putting that back.
O'Neill: Nice ride.
Jackson: Yeah, Ancients like to fly in style.
Jackson: Your English is excellent.
Russian Captain: Thank you. Do you speak Russian?
Jackson in Russian: I'm conversational. I think I can get by.
Russian Captain: We'll stick to English then.
Joe: Dr. Jackson, can I just say, thank goodness you're back. Not that Jonas was a bad guy, but after all you've been through together you belong here with SG-1.
Jackson: Thank you. Jack?
O'Neill: He's a barber.
Jackson: Broke into your house?
O'Neill: Yeah.
Jackson: Second week in a row.
O'Neill: Mm hm.
Jackson: Alarm.
O'Neill: I'm thinking dog.
Joe: You could try locking your front door.
Oma: Order what you want.
Jackson: Okay, I'll have the truth with a side order of clarity, please.
Season Nine
Mitchell: Merlin. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Merlin?
Jackson: Yes.
Mitchell: Was an ancient.
Jackson: I think so.
Mitchell to Teal'c: See! That is what I'm talking about!
Jackson to Vala: I'm sure if there's a monster down here it'll be much more scared of you than you are of it. Especially once it gets to know you.
Jackson: Isn't that why we're doing this, all of this? The Stargate program, the [?]. So we can meet new races,
gather advanced technology, possibly learn about ourselves in the process.
Vala: Oh c'mon. You do it to meet women.
Mitchell: She has a point, sir.
Jackson: What the hell are you doing here?
O'Neill: Well. Nice to see you too.
Jackson: I wouldn't say this to anyone else, but for the first time, I'm scared.
O'Neill: I'm hungry.
Jackson: Just try to be—
Vala: What? My charming self?
Jackson: A little less talk, a little more shut the hell up.
Mitchell: Symtoms may include: dizziness, irritability—
Jackson: Nausea—
Mitchell: Mild nausea. And a condition known as "hot dog fingers."
Carter: How's it going?
Mitchell: I don't think diplomacy's my thing.
Jackson: Oh. That's what you're doing.
Jackson: Colonel Mitchell was assaulted. His memories were manipulated against his will, and an innocent woman was murdered. Now I've only worked with the guy a short period of time, but I'm pretty sure he's not gonna let this one go.
Landry: I read your report. Not sure I've seen language like that used in an official Air Force document before.
Jackson: Sorry about that, sir.
Landry: You should see what Colonel Carter and Dr. Jackson wrote.
Carter: As we discussed the situation we realized we could pinpoint the source of the phenomenon to a precise window. Specifically the interim journey between the two gates.
Mitchell: Did she just say "we"?
Carter: Pardon me?
Jackson: She said "we". You said "we"?
Carter: Ah, me and... myself, I suppose. The other Samantha Carter.
Mitchell: Right. Finally someone who can keep up with you, huh?
Carter: Yep.
Jackson: I miss Thor.
Black Uniform Jackson: Wouldn't it have been easier just to zat him?
Black Uniform Teal'c: Easier, yes. But far less gratifying.
Black Uniform Mitchell: Did he just insult me?
Nadal about the power loss: Your people have done this.
Jackson: I hope so.
Season Ten
Vala: You know, I never thought I'd agree with my father but now I'm starting to remember about how he used to go about, you nurture them, and you raise them, and you teach them the best that you can, and then all they do is break your heart. I always assumed that his experience was just tainted by me.
Jackson: What are you talking about?
Vala: Wow. She started off all sweet and innocent and now she's hellbent on domination of the galaxy.
Jackson: What? How old is she?
Vala: A few hours. The Ori used me to sneak one of their own over the border.
Jackson: This is bad.
Vala: You're telling me. Origin is about to become much more appealing to the males of this galaxy.
Vala is off to use Jackson's computer to study for her psych test
Jackson: I said no. And you can't access it without my password!
Vala: Already got it, thanks!
Jackson: You're making a big mistake. More Ori ships will be here soon.
Jaffa: Then they will suffer the same fate.
Adria offscreen: I think not. uses telekinetic powers to strangle the Jaffa
Vala: Adria?
Adria: Hello, Mother.
Bra'tac: She displays the wisdom of a battle-seasoned warrior.
Jackson: She's a mother. Close enough.
Jackson: Dinner tonight is my way of saying Thank you. Thank you for proving me right when I said we could take a chance on you.
Vala: I don't know what to say.
Jackson: Just say what you were going to say before I interrupted.
Vala: Okay. I need to use the bathroom.
Carter: A member of this facility gets kidnapped unchallenged. It's no wonder he doesn't think we can protect him.
Jackson: But we can protect him.
Carter: Yeah, by locking him away for the rest of his life.
Mitchell: What can you say, that's the downside working for super villains.
Jackson: We should probably prepare to return fire.
Officer: For the record, I'm always prepared. I just have to press this button here.
Jackson: Right. I just, I thought that's what you're supposed to say.
Officer: I know.
Mitchell: Hey, you got anything?
Jackson: No. You?
Mitchell: No. But I'm getting a good tan.
Jackson to Adria: Well I guess I'm not as true of spirit as you thought I was.
Adria: How are you feeling?
Jackson: I don't suppose you know what a hangover feels like? ... Never mind.
Vala: Hello Gorgeous! If you're watching this you're obviosly back at Stargate Command. And you're prob thinking everyone around you has gone wonko. With the exception of Daniel who we've always thought was a little...
Jackson off screen: Vala!
Vala: So no IOA... No television program about dancing with supposed celebrities?
Jackson: Actually that part was real.
Vala: How very disturbing.
Jackson: Mm hm.
Carter: Yeah.
Mitchell: Just take it easy.
Jackson: We're not going to hurt you. Vala shoots him. Much.
UNENDING
Vala about the Asgard: Out of curiousity, how can you tell the difference?
Jackson: The voice.
Vala: I'm hearing things all the time. Are you hearing things?
Teal'c: I am trying not to.
Carter: Why do you do it? Knowing everything you learn is going to die with you?
Jackson: I know you think I'm crazy... Besides, you haven't given up.
Carter: Yes I have.
Landry: Good luck, SG-1.
Mitchell: Just another mission to save the galaxy, sir.
Everyone: Indeed.
Landry: God speed.
