Daniel Jackson quotes from Stargate SG-1

It would be much easier on both of us if you did not resist.

Dr. Jackson

Why, why, why, why, in the wide world of all things rational and sane, would I help you?

Do you really think that I am that different from Samantha Carter?

Dr. Jackson

In that you're a replicator bent on galactic domination at the expense of all living things.

I could help you. We could unlock the knowledge of the Ancients, the secrets of the Universe, together.

Dr. Jackson

I have to admit it does sound interesting... On the other hand you're an evil killing machine so no, pass.

Dr. Jackson

You can't handle it, can you?

I can. I just need time to process...share it with the others...

Dr. Jackson

Like the universe, it's infinite. It's not just knowledge and information; it's understanding on a level that you will never reach.

Why do you think that?

Dr. Jackson

Because you're a machine.

So are you; just of weaker construction.

Dr. Jackson

And that's where you're wrong.

Dr. Jackson

Trying to leave? Sorry. A little more time in Danny's world.

[angrily] My brethren will not stop. You cannot control them.

Dr. Jackson

Not yet, but I'm learning.

Dr. Jackson

Menus?

Oma Desala

We don't need them here; just order what you'd like.

Dr. Jackson

Okay. I'll have the truth with a side-order of clarity, please.

Oma Desala

The replicator version of Sam was in your head, trying to access the knowledge buried in your subconscious, but you gained control of her instead. She killed you to stop you. That's where I stepped in. How's that?

Dr. Jackson

Pretty clear.

Oma Desala

Well, we aim to please! Customer comes first, you know!

Dr. Jackson

Can you tell me why you stopped me from killing Anubis the last time I was Ascended?

Oma Desala

Because if I didn't stop you, the others would have, and they wouldn't have been as nice about it.

Dr. Jackson

You mean, they wouldn't have erased my memory and left me naked on a planet?

Oma Desala

That was your choice.

Oma Desala

Okay. Maybe not the naked part.

Dr. Jackson

Jack?

Daniel.

Dr. Jackson

What's goin' on?

[as he receives a clipboard from Siler] You been shoppin' online lately?

Dr. Jackson

What are you talkin' about?

[as he hands clipboard to Daniel] Well, you've got a little delivery here.

Dr. Jackson

[looks at clipboard] It's from Catherine's estate.

Yeah – kinda looks like she sent the whole thing.

Dr. Jackson

[as he enters his office] Holy ... buckets! Looks like her entire collection!

[pats Daniel on the shoulder] I prefer stamps.

Now, in addition, we discovered several grains of troilite and a mesostasis phase which contained micrometer crystals.

Hmm.

Now it's undergoing further testing, but we hope to have the results on your desk first thing tomorrow morning.

[sarcastic] Don't you keep me waiting!

[missing the sarcasm] No, sir! Now here's where things get really interesting, because you will notice in this fissure—

Dr. Jackson

Jack! We need—we need to talk. Oh, sorry for interrupting.

[desperately grabbing Jackson's arm] No, it's okay! If it's important, you must interrupt. You must!

Dr. Jackson

We don't know where it is now. But we do know where it was... Giza, 3000 B.C.

Lt. Col. Carter

[shaking her head] You can't be serious.

What?

Dr. Jackson

It's the only way.

What?

Lt. Col. Carter

No, we agreed.

If I have to say "what" one more time, heads are gonna roll!

Dr. Jackson

We have a time machine. We can go back and get the ZPM.

She wouldn't let me go back and watch the Cubs win the World Series.

Dr. Jackson

[excitedly] I can't believe I'm finally gonna prove that the Great Pyramids predate the 4th dynasty.

Lt. Col. Carter

So, what are you gonna do? Stand in the picture holding a newspaper with today's date?

Do you really think they're just going to let him waltz in and take it?

Dr. Jackson

Like I said, they don't even know what a ZPM is. To them it's like any number of dozens of ritualistic objects they pull out for any number of occasions. Besides, he's wearing the shiny suit.

Dr. Jackson

Well, this can't be a good sign.

Why's that?

Dr. Jackson

Where am I?

Ancient Egypt?

Dr. Jackson

No, I mean the me from your time line.

I killed you.

Dr. Jackson

Why?

You were a Goa'uld spy.

Dr. Jackson

A good reason.

It was horrible!

Dr. Jackson

Yeah, I'm sure. Why are you here?

Yes, excellent question.

Dr. Jackson

You don't know?

Well, I thought I did, there, for a while, and then I realized I... didn't.

Dr. Jackson

Well, I know why I'm here.

Good. Let's start there.

Vala

You should give me a weapon.

Dr. Jackson

Nope.

Vala

There could be some sort of icky creature down here left behind to protect the treasure.

Dr. Jackson

For hundreds of years?

Vala

Some sort of stasis or hibernation. What if it senses our presence and awakens hungry for human flesh?

Dr. Jackson

That doesn't quite sound like the Ancients' style.

Vala

Still...

Dr. Jackson

I'm sure if there is a monster down here, it's going to be much more scared of you than you are of it. Especially once it gets to know you.

Merlin

Welcome, ye knights of the round table, men of honor, followers of the path of righteousness. Only those with wealth of knowledge and truth of spirit shall be given access to the underworld, the storehouse of riches of Ambrosius Aurelianus. Prove ye worthy, and all shall be revealed.

Dr. Jackson

That's incredible. Certain scholars have speculated that Ambrosius and Arthur were one and the same, but that would have made him 74 years old at the Battle of Mount Badon. It's actually quite fascinating. See, Ambrosius was the son of the Emperor Constantine—

Vala

[dismissive] Yes, yes, yes. "Fascinating" is the one thing it's not. How do we "prove ye worthy" and get "all to be revealed"?

Dr. Jackson

I have no idea, but something tells me truth of spirit may be a bit of a problem for you.

Vala

[defensively] You know nothing about me!

Dr. Jackson

Because everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Don't make me separate you two.
