Daniel Jackson quotes from Stargate SG-1

Daniel Jackson

Just out of curiosity, how many years did you take off their sentence if they managed to fix this?

Col. O'Neill

Actually, they'll get a few more years out of this.

Daniel Jackson

More?

Col. O'Neill

They were on death row.

Col. O'Neill

I'm really bad at this.

Daniel Jackson

Yes, you are.

Col. O'Neill

You're not gonna take the fall for this. I don't care what's at stake.

Daniel Jackson

Why do you care?

Col. O'Neill

Because, despite the fact that you've been a terrific pain in the ass for the last five years, I may have... might have... uh, grown to admire you a little.... I think.

Daniel Jackson

[dryly] Now that's touching.

Col. O'Neill

[insistent] This will not be your last act on official record.

Jonas

No offense, I'm just more interested in what's out there, through the Stargate.

Daniel Jackson

Well, all I can say is, whatever problems there are between your planet's nations, they will seem insignificant when you do find out what's going on out there.

Oma

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

Daniel Jackson

Yeah, yeah, a monk at Kheb said that to me. I didn't know what it meant then and I still don't know now.

Oma

The universe is vast, and we are so small. In the end, there is only one thing we can truly control.

Daniel Jackson

Yeah, what's that?

Oma

Whether we are good, or evil.

Daniel Jackson

I'm gonna miss you guys.

Col. O'Neill

Yeah, you too.

Daniel Jackson

Thank you. For everything.

Col. O'Neill

So, what? See you around?

Daniel Jackson

I don't know.

Col. O'Neill

Hey… where are you going?

Daniel Jackson

I don't know.

Dr. Jackson

Hi, Jack. [waves]

Col. O'Neill

Daniel?

Dr. Jackson

I leave and look at the mess you get yourself into.

Dr. Jackson

It's good to see you.

Col. O'Neill

Yeah. You too. Shame you're a delusion.

Dr. Jackson

No, I'm here. I'm...really here.

Col. O'Neill

Sure you are.

Dr. Jackson

Here in the sense that my consciousness is here, if 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.

Col. O'Neill

I just tossed my shoe through you!

Dr. Jackson

I'm energy now…

Col. O'Neill

How's that workin' out for ya?

Dr. Jackson

Good, actually. Very…

Col. O'Neill

Good.

Dr. Jackson

Very good.

Col. O'Neill

So show me your stuff. Bust me out of here.

Dr. Jackson

I can't…

Col. O'Neill

Why not?

Dr. Jackson

I'm not allowed to interfere.

Col. O'Neill

You're interfering right now.

Dr. Jackson

No, I'm not.

Col. O'Neill

Yes, you are.

Dr. Jackson

No, I'm not. I am consoling a friend.

Col. O'Neill

So… you wanna be my Oma?

Dr. Jackson

You could put it that way. I mean, I wouldn't, but maybe that's just me.

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.
