Daniel Jackson quotes from Stargate SG-1

Dr. Jackson

Look, I know she's no angel. She's-she's lied, she's stolen, she's cheated, she's misrepresented herself, she's… lied.

Dr. Jackson

...and so, by translating this tablet, we should be able to determine the most important thing in the universe.

Dr. Jackson

Everyone wanna, poke around? See if you can find him?

Dr. Jackson

And you might have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for us meddling kids.

Dr. Jackson

I mean, all they wanted to do was live a little longer. We're no different. Sequence DNA. Cure diseases. One fatal mistake, and they doom their entire race. I guess no matter what you do, at the end of the day…life is too short.

Dr. Jackson

I'm no astrophysicist, but isn't it possible that planets can drift apart?

Capt. Carter

I knew I'd like you.

Dr. Jackson

You mean I'm right?

Dr. Jackson

So this iris is gonna hold, right?

Capt. Carter

Pure titanium less than three micrometers from the event horizon. It won't even allow matter to fully reintegrate.

Col. O'Neill

[Looks blankly at Carter for a moment] ...So this iris is gonna hold, right?

Capt. Carter

If it doesn't, the fail-safe device will detonate, this whole mountain will vaporize and there'll be nothing to worry about.

Col. O'Neill

Ah, good! I feel much better.

Dr. Jackson

Anthropologists do it all the time. They dress and live as the people they're studying.

Capt. Carter

I'm not an anthropologist.

Col. O'Neill

[gleefully] You are today!

Capt. Carter

Look uh, I will not wear this thing over my face. I don't care how much embroidery it has on it. And this…dress, or whatever it's called, I mean…I can't move, I can't walk…

Col. O'Neill

I don't know. It…it kind of works for me. I, uh…

Dr. Jackson

It's, it's you, it's…

Dr. Jackson

Definitely you.

Dr. Jackson

How is it that you always manage to come up with the worst case scenario?

Col. O'Neill

I practice.

Capt. Carter

Do you think this thing is going to end up being a revolutionary drug back on Earth?

Dr. Jackson

Well if it does, I'm sure someone else will end up getting credit for it. It's not like we can tell them where it really came from.

Col. O'Neill

Damn, guess I'm going to have to cancel that Oprah interview!

Teal'c

What is an Oprah?

In one hour, you will go through the Gate to the planet represented by these symbols. It has been designated P3X-797.

Dr. Jackson

Couldn't we call this planet something that's a little easier to remember?

Capt. Carter

Ah, it's based on a binary code the computer uses for extrapolation.

Col. O'Neill

[dryly] Which makes it much easier to remember.

Dr. Jackson

This is crazy. We don't know what could be there waiting for us when we come through.

Don't you worry, boys. That's why the SG-3 Marines are comin' with. You can count on us to watch your backsides.

Dr. Jackson

Actually, it was more my front side I was worried about.

Col. O'Neill

Oh, I got in a little wrestling match with Carter.

Dr. Jackson

Why?

Col. O'Neill

I guess she's got whatever Johnson's got. Had to drag her off to the infirmary.

Dr. Jackson

What, did she start a fight with you, like Johnson did with Teal'c?

Col. O'Neill

No, she, uh, tried to seduce me.

Dr. Jackson

Oh. [pause] You poor man...

Dr. Jackson

This tastes like chicken.

Capt. Carter

So what's wrong with it?

Dr. Jackson

It's macaroni and cheese.

Teal'c

Your world is a strange place.

Dr. Jackson

...So is yours.
