Jack O'Neill quotes from Stargate SG-1

Dr. Jackson

Jack, who are you talking to?

Col. O'Neill

The woman.

Dr. Jackson

[looks up] There's nobody there.

Col. O'Neill

Look who's talking.

Dr. Jackson

Come on, Jack. Y-You think the Asgard named a-a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? Now's not the time to play dumb, you're a lot smarter than that. They saw our potential in you…because of who you are and what you've done. Humanity's potential. That's the same thing Oma saw in me.

Col. O'Neill

I am not you.

Dr. Jackson

Yeah, when has that ever stopped you from doing anything?

Col. O'Neill

Okay… put yourself in my shoes and me in yours.

Dr. Jackson

You'd be here for me.

Col. O'Neill

Damn straight! I'd have busted you out, blown this rat hole to hell and made sure that son-of-a-bitch suffered!

Dr. Jackson

The Others would have stopped you.

Col. O'Neill

They'd have a hell of a fight on their hands.

Dr. Jackson

You wouldn't do that.

Col. O'Neill

Ba'al would be dead.

Dr. Jackson

Jack—

Col. O'Neill

And don't think I'd stop there!

Dr. Jackson

[forcefully] You're a better man than that!

Col. O'Neill

[yelling] That's where you're wrong!

Dr. Jackson

What I'm offering you is your only way out.

Col. O'Neill

You're wrong about that too. I have another choice.

Dr. Jackson

What are you talking about?

Dr. Jackson

No.

Col. O'Neill

Any minute, they're gonna come. Ba'al is gonna kill me again. You can make it the last time.

Dr. Jackson

Don't ask me to do that.

Col. O'Neill

You can put an end to it.

Dr. Jackson

I won't do it.

Col. O'Neill

I'd do it for you, and you know it. I don't want to see this cell again, Daniel.

Dr. Jackson

Look, I know you don't think so…right now, I mean, I know you have your doubts, but uh…because you've been through something that no one should have to go through... I guess what I'm trying to say is…you're going to be all right.

Col. O'Neill

How do you know?

Dr. Jackson

You're just going to have to trust me.

Dr. Jackson

I always seem to be saying goodbye to you.

Col. O'Neill

Yeah, I noticed that. Why don't you stick around for a while?

Dr. Jackson

I can't, really.

Col. O'Neill

You just did.

Dr. Jackson

Special occasion.

Col. O'Neill

Christmas?

Dr. Jackson

No.

Col. O'Neill

Groundhog Day?

Dr. Jackson

[trying not to smile] Nooo.

Col. O'Neill

I've got my journey, you got yours?

Dr. Jackson

Something like that, yeah.

Col. O'Neill

If I'm catchin' the next plane of existence outta here, you gotta give me somethin'.

Dr. Jackson

It's your journey. No one but you can choose what you become or the path you take. All I can promise you is it will be an amazing journey. Once you release your burden.

Col. O'Neill

Daniel, so help me, if you start talkin' like Oma…

Dr. Jackson

I'm not talking like Oma Desala.

Col. O'Neill

Sounds like Oma to me.

Dr. Jackson

No, no, no…see, Oma Desala would say something like…uh, uh, if you know the candle is fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago or something like that.

Col. O'Neill

Why?

Dr. Jackson

To open your mind.

Col. O'Neill

Though a candle burns in my house…there's nobody home.

Maj. Carter

Well, according to their commander, the Kelownan government wants to reestablish trade relations with Earth.

Col. O'Neill

I hope you diplomatically told him where to shove it.

Col. O'Neill

I have nothing against them defending themselves but…how do we know they'll stop there?

You sound like Dr. Jackson.

Col. O'Neill

[sarcastically] We spent some time together.

Col. O'Neill

Carter, be honest. The résumé gag…?

Teal'c

It needs work, O'Neill.

What about "never leave a man behind"?

Col. O'Neill

[furious] What about "we allowed ourselves to be captured"? On purpose?

[contrite] Oh.

You what?

Col. O'Neill

We're on a mission, you nit!

Herak

No matter what you have endured, you have never experienced the likes of what Anubis is capable of.

Col. O'Neill

You ended that sentence with a preposition. Bastard!

Col. O'Neill

What the hell are you doing?! This is a funeral for crying out loud!

I asked a question of this Tok'ra.

No one may speak during the ritual!

Col. O'Neill

For this you guys are fighting?! [to Ocker] Well, I'm sure he's sorry.

I am not.

Col. O'Neill

Yeah, well, on the inside.

Maj. Carter

Sir. Several of the Tok'ra have expressed concern about the temporary quarters they've been assigned.

Col. O'Neill

Explain to them the meaning of the word "temporary". If they don't like it, they can leave.

Maj. Carter

You really want me to tell them that?

Col. O'Neill

Yes. No. [sighs] I'll do it.

Maj. Carter

It seemed like a power fluctuation in the cycle output of the naquadah reactor. But at closer inspection, I discovered the absorption port and its redundancy had been tampered with.

Col. O'Neill

Carter! I haven't had coffee.

Well, whoever it is, we're dealing with an enemy we can't see. Without TERs to counter that technology, we're helpless.

Do you have the means to generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field?

I could modify the wave output of the naquadah reactor.

Within a range of 400 to 700 nanometers?

That might just excite the phase particles enough to bring them into our visible light spectrum.

Col. O'Neill

Carter?

Sir, the invisibility field must operate—

Col. O'Neill

Are you about to tell me that you can make the invisible guy vi—

Yes, sir.

Col. O'Neill

That's all I need.

Jacob Carter

If you can see it, you can shoot it.
