Daniel Jackson quotes from Stargate SG-1

So if this plan goes FUBAR, we're the only ones to go down with the ship?

Dr. Jackson

Well, there's plenty more where we came from, right?

[nobly] The perilous nature of this mission should not be taken lightly. There is a chance the Prometheus may not survive this voyage. But courage and a steadfast resolve will prove the most valuable assets in this undertaking. [pauses, goes on casually] Well, good luck to you all. [beams out]

Dr. Jackson

I miss Thor.

Do you ever give up?

Dr. Jackson

Not till I'm dead. [Pause] And sometimes not even then.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

I have no intention of taking anyone on. I'm just going to pose as a buyer.

Dr. Jackson

You?

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Well, no offense, Jackson, but you do not strike me as the drug dealer type. In fact, you're not even close.

Dr. Jackson

[in disbelief] I think I'm as close as you are!

Lt. Colonel Carter

[to Mitchell] Come on! You're miles away.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Teal'c, which one of us is closer?

Teal'c

I believe the three of you to be equidistant.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[gesturing toward Carter] Oh, please! Mary Poppins is not even in the running.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Hey!

Oh its far worse for you, I no longer have any reason to keep you alive.

Dr. Jackson

No, wait! I-I-I can think of a reason.

Lt. Colonel Carter

[after an awkward pause, looks to Jackson] We're more valuable alive.

Dr. Jackson

ah. Yes! We're more valuable alive. Good one.

Lt. Colonel Carter

[silently] Yeah.

General Landry

An eventful few days. Debrief in one hour.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

We have got the best jobs in the world, don't we?

Lt. Colonel Carter

I'm gonna hit the shower.

Dr. Jackson

I'm gonna find the doctor.

Teal'c

We are indeed suitably employed.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Hey look, I don't want to argue about this. I'm right, we'll leave it at that.

Dr. Jackson

[sarcastic] Compelling argument. Teal'c, what do you think?

Teal'c

I think I should have remained with the tour.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Hey, has anyone stopped to figure out how this thing might work? I mean, how do you kill something that's pure energy?

Dr. Jackson

Well, Merlin's research said nothing about killing. A more accurate translation would be "neutralize" or "cancel out".

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Well, that still begs a lot of questions. How do you aim at something you can't see?

Dr. Jackson

Clearly, it can't be a weapon in the conventional sense. See, ascended beings transcend ordinary space time as we know it. This device would have to do the same thing.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

In other words, you have no idea what it might be.

Dr. Jackson

Yeah, pretty much.

Lt. Colonel Carter

This sure looks like the place where Merlin might have lived.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

There could be dozens of villages in the area, just like this one. There is no way to be sure.

Dr. Jackson

Well... there is that... [points to a sword in a stone]

Dr. Jackson

This is interesting. It's a reference to Merlin's prophetic abilities. There's a similar myth on Earth. That Merlin could see the future because he actually aged backwards in time. It's not meant to be taken literally, but we have seen a lot of legends and folklore have a strong basis in fact -- Avalon, Atlantis.

Teal'c

The Easter bunny.

Dr. Jackson

I guess there's a few exceptions.

Dr. Jackson

[sarcastically] Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

No, I wasn't sleeping. Was Kel'no'reem-ing. Teal'c taught me the fundamentals.

Dr. Jackson

Did he mention you should remain conscious in the process?

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Yeah, I'm still working on the basics.

Dr. Jackson

Uh oh.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

What's "uh oh"?

Dr. Jackson

Nothing happened.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Bad.

Dr. Jackson

[holding up a book] Do you recognize this?

It is Sangraal.

Dr. Jackson

This is the Sangraal?

It is also known as the Blood Stone.

Dr. Jackson

Of course. Sang. Blood. Blood red for the color of the jewel.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. We're talking about the Holy Grail, right? Every movie I've seen, that's a cup.

Dr. Jackson

What happened to you?

Vala

Oh, I had a baby! You know, I never thought I'd agree with my father, but now I'm starting to remember about how he used to go about how you nurture them and then you raise them and you teach them that best that you can and then all they do is break your heart. I always assumed that his experience was tainted by me.

Dr. Jackson

What are you talking about?

Vala

Well, she started off all sweet and innocent but now she's hellbent on domination of the galaxy.

Dr. Jackson

How old is she?

Vala

A few hours. [Dr. Jackson gives her a confused look.] The Ori used me to sneak one of their own across the border. This child is their way of cheating the ascended rulebook. They couldn't exactly cross over into our galaxy without getting into a confrontation with the Ancients, right? So they created a human representative with their knowledge to lead their armies.

Dr. Jackson

Sort of an uber-Prior, like the Doci?

Vala

Oh, but she's MUCH worse than that. The Priors are just pawns, but she knows the score. She's complicit with the Ori; you should have heard the propaganda that she just tried to feed me.

Dr. Jackson

Wait, wait, wait a minute, we're talking about a baby here, right?

Vala

Oh. She's been genetically altered. She'll be a fully-grown figurehead in a day or so. If she takes after her mother, she'll have a pretty good figure too.

Dr. Jackson

This is bad.

Vala

You're telling me! Origin is about to become a lot more appealing to the males of this galaxy.

Dr. Jackson

Do you have any idea where we're going?

Vala

No, that she wouldn't tell me. She knows I'm not on her side; she's just hoping I'll see the light. But part of her can't help but feel tied to me. She wanted me to give her a name.

Dr. Jackson

And?

Vala

Adria. Told her it was my mother's.

Dr. Jackson

Not.

Vala

Stepmother. Witch of a woman.

Dr. Jackson

You know the more I get to know you, the more I'm starting to understand.

Vala

Huh?

Dr. Jackson

Nothing.

Dr. Jackson

I got it! I made the connection! Sir Gawain to Gwalchmei. Culwhch and Olwen. Verus Gen Bree!

Lt. Colonel Carter

[to Mitchell] And you say I'm hard to understand.
