Daniel Jackson quotes from Stargate SG-1

Maj. Carter

I'll make some more observations tonight, Sir.

Dr. Jackson

I'm gonna check the…geological record in the morning.

Col. O'Neill

I'll…make a wish.

Col. O'Neill

I do appreciate that you were the one to come and see if I was okay. That... that means something.

Dr. Jackson

Ah... actually, no, it doesn't.

Col. O'Neill

No?

Dr. Jackson

Um... we, ah, we drew straws.

Dr. Jackson

I lost.

Dr. Jackson

Kind of crossing the line…

Col. O'Neill

Shut up, Daniel.

Rigar

And how is this illusion of water created that I have heard described.

Dr. Jackson

Well you're right in that it is an illusion. It's not actually water.

Rigar

Then what is it?

Col. O'Neill

Magic.

Dr. Jackson

The monk is someone who has taken up curatorship.

Col. O'Neill

Kind of janitor?

Dr. Jackson

More of a guide.

Col. O'Neill

An usher?

Dr. Jackson

Is there a child in here?

Monk

There is a child in all of us.

Monk

I only know a snowflake cannot exist in a storm of fire.

Col. O'Neill

What?

Dr. Jackson

Jack.

Col. O'Neill

No, I…you know me, I'm a huge fan of subtlety, but that's downright encrypted.

Dr. Jackson

[to the monk] Sorry, don't worry about him.

Monk

The sun is warm, the wind is wild, the grass is green along the shores. Here no bull can hide.

Col. O'Neill

[to himself] I don't know about that.

Dr. Jackson

Jack, he's speaking in Zen Koans. Whatever theology he follows may be an original basis for Buddhism on Earth.

Col. O'Neill

Well that's very nice. I'll be sure to call the Dalai Lama when we get home.

Monk

Those who seek one-ness, find all that they seek.

Dr. Jackson

I think this is gonna take a while.

Col. O'Neill

Really? What gives you that idea?

Dr. Jackson

Oma? What does that mean?

Monk

Words cannot express things, speech cannot convey the spirit. Swayed by words, one is lost.

Monk

Why do you seek this child of flesh and bones?

Dr. Jackson

He is the son of my wife.

Monk

But not your son.

Dr. Jackson

No. But my wife is dead now and I promised her I would make sure the boy is safe.

Monk

And you are sure he will be safe with you?

Dr. Jackson

Yes. Absolutely.

Monk

Because it is so clear, it takes a longer time to realize it. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Monk

You hate the Goa'uld?

Dr. Jackson

Yes.

Monk

Your hate will lead to the child's death.

Dr. Jackson

You can see me?

Yes, Daniel, I can see you.

Dr. Jackson

[exasperated] Why didn't you say something?!

You're not real, so it doesn't mean anything.

Dr. Jackson

No, no, I'm real! You're not hallucinating.

Hallucinations always say that.

Forgive me, he is here. Daniel is here.

Dr. Jackson

Repeat what I'm saying; I'm standing right beside you.

Standing right beside me.

Col. O'Neill

[sarcastically] He's lost a few pounds.

Dr. Jackson

Jack, don't be an ass.

Jack, don't be an ass.

Col. O'Neill

Daniel?

Col. O'Neill

I'd be happy to debrief you all after I've debriefed myself for a nice hot shower.

Permission to shower granted. In fact, I insist on it, Colonel.

Col. O'Neill

[to Jackson, quietly] Bad?

Dr. Jackson

I wasn't going to say anything.

Dr. Jackson

[to Thor] Wait a minute, you're actually saying that you need someone dumber than you are?

Col. O'Neill

You may have come to the right place.

Thor, with all due respect to your situation we need SG-1 here.

Maj. Carter

I could go, sir.

Col. O'Neill

I don't know, Carter. You may not be dumb enough.

Maj. Carter

I think I can handle it
