Quotes 

• General Hammond : You ever think of writing a book about your exploits in the line of duty?

  Jack O'Neill : I've thought about it. But then I'd have to shoot anyone that actually read it.

• George Hammond : What's he doing here?

  Jack O'Neill : General Hammond, this is Teal'c. He can help us.

  George Hammond : Do you know what he is?

  Jack O'Neill : Yes, sir. I do. He's the man who saved our lives. And if you accept my recommendation, sir, he'll join SG-1.

• Samantha Carter : [Seeing the Control Plinth of the Gate at Abydos for the first time]  Amazing.

  Samantha Carter : But, this is what was missing from the dig at Giza.

  Samantha Carter : [Touches the central boss]  This is how they controlled it.

  Samantha Carter : It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to 'MacGyver' a system for the Gate on Earth.

  Jack O'Neill : Captain.

  Samantha Carter : Look how small it is.

  Jack O'Neill : Captain!

• Jack O'Neill : Daniel, for crying out loud, you've had one beer. Cheaper date than my wife was.

  Daniel Jackson : Yes. When am I going to meet your wife?

  Jack O'Neill : Oh. Probably, ah, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time, she'd already left.

  Daniel Jackson : I'm sorry.

  Jack O'Neill : Yeah, so was I. I think, in her heart, she forgave me for what happened to our kid. She just... couldn't forget.

  Daniel Jackson : And what about you?

  Jack O'Neill : I'm the opposite. I'll never forgive myself. But sometimes I can forget... Sometimes.

• [Teal'c has just helped SG-1 and prisoners escape from the Gou'ald] 

  Jack O'Neill : Hey, come on!

  Teal'c : I have nowhere to go.

  Jack O'Neill : For this, you can stay at my place. Let's go.

• [O'Neill has sent a box of tissues through the gate for Daniel] 

  Major Samuels : What if the aliens get it?

  Jack O'Neill : Well, they could be blowin' their noses right now.

• [preparing to go through the Stargate to Abydos] 

  Jack O'Neill : Captain?

  Samantha Carter : Don't worry, Colonel. I won't let you down.

  Jack O'Neill : Good. I was gonna say, "Ladies first."

  Samantha Carter : You know, you really will like me when you get to know me.

  Jack O'Neill : Oh, I adore you already, Captain.

• Sam Carter : I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel. And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.

  Jack O'Neill : Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I've just got a little problem with scientists.

  Sam Carter : Oh, Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you... or are we gonna have to arm wrestle?

• [Preparing to send a message to Daniel on Abydos] 

  Jack O'Neill : General, we don't need that probe.

  Kawalsky : We don't?

  Jack O'Neill : Nope. This'll do.

  [O'Neill grabs a box of Kleenex] 

• Teal'c : What is this?

  Jack O'Neill : It's a watch.

  Teal'c : This is not Goa'uld technology. Where are you from?

  Jack O'Neill : Earth. Chicago, if you wanna be specific.

  Teal'c : Your words mean nothing. Where are you from?

  Daniel Jackson : Ah, excuse me.

  [Daniel draws the gate symbol representing Earth in the dirt] 

  Daniel Jackson : This is where we're from.

  [Teal'c looks at it and then leaves the room] 

• Colonel Jack O'Neill : I can save these people. Help me! Help me.

  Teal'c : Many have said that;

  [turns and shoots one of the Jaffa guards] 

  Teal'c : but you are the first I believe could do it.

• Samuels : I'm Major Samuels.

  Jack O'Neill : Air Force?

  Samuels : Yes, sir. I'm the general's executive officer.

  Jack O'Neill : Want a little piece of advice, Major? Get 'reass' to NASA. That's where all the action's gonna be. Out there.

• [Unsure whether Ra is dead or alive] 

  George Hammond : Are you sure he's dead, Colonel?

  Jack O'Neill : Unless he can survive a tactical nuclear warhead blown up in his face, positive.

• Jack O'Neill : Oh, come on, Samuels. Let me be the cynic around here, okay?

• [O'Neill smells a drink that Skaara has brought for the team to drink at dinner] 

  Jack O'Neill : Moonshine?

  Skaara : Moon... shine.

  Jack O'Neill : Yeah. Moonshine. As in booze. Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?

  Skaara : Try it.

  Jack O'Neill : Alright. Skaara's Moonshine. I'll give it a little shot.

  [O'Neill sips it and spits it out in an explosive burst] 

  Jack O'Neill : Whoa!

  [the team and villagers all laugh] 

  Jack O'Neill : [hoarsely]  Smooth. Very smooth.

  Skaara : Moonshine!

  Kawalsky : Our little soldiers are all grown up, Colonel.

  Jack O'Neill : Yeah. I'm so proud.

• Jack O'Neill : Oh here we go, another scientist. General, please.

  Samantha Carter : Theoretical astrophysicist.

  Jack O'Neill : Which means...?

  George Hammond : It means she's smarter than you are.

• George Hammond : Where's Captain Carter?

  Samuels : Just arriving, sir.

  Jack O'Neill : Carter?

  George Hammond : I'm assigning Sam Carter to this mission.

  Jack O'Neill : I'd prefer to put together my own team, sir.

  George Hammond : Not on this mission. Sorry. Carter's our expert on the Stargate.

  Jack O'Neill : Where's he transferring from?

  Samantha Carter : [Carter enters the room]  She is transferring from the Pentagon. I take it you're Colonel O'Neill. Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.

• [Daniel is thinking about Sha're] 

  Daniel Jackson : She's out there somewhere, Jack.

  Jack O'Neill : I know. So's Skaara.

  Daniel Jackson : So what do we do?

  Jack O'Neill : We find 'em.

• Samantha Carter : [after going through the wormhole]  Ohhh... I think I'm gonna be sick.

  Jack O'Neill : [patting Captain Carter on the shoulder]  Maybe you shouldn't have had that big lunch, huh?
