Samantha Carter quotes from Stargate SG-1

Col. O'Neill

Next time we crash our brand new mothership, what do you say we do it in the tropics?

Maj. Carter

Actually, sir, it wouldn't make a difference. At this depth, all water is ice cold.

Col. O'Neill

Shallower water, then…shallower.

Maj. Carter

Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind.

Col. O'Neill

Or we could just not crash at all. It would be nice to keep our nice new mothership more than a couple of hours.

Maj. Carter

Yes sir.

Maj. Carter

[Speaking into her radio] Dad? We're alright.

Col. O'Neill

Tell him I take back everything I was thinking while I was underwater.

Hi. It's nice to finally meet you, Major.

Maj. Carter

You too. Dr. Michaels, this is Dr. Fraiser.

Doctor.

Dr. Fraiser

Doctor.

[also introducing] Uh…Drs. Woods and Osbourne.

Dr. Fraiser

Doctor.

Doctor.

Major.

Maj. Carter

Doctor.

Major.

Dr. Fraiser

Doctor.

Col. O'Neill

All right. That's enough.

That's impossible!

Maj. Carter

We've seen stranger.

Maj. Carter

Nice… lunch.

Jonas

Mmmm. I'm really starting to enjoy this "traditional American food".

Maj. Carter

We have another tradition. It's called "hardened arteries".

Jonas

Don't tell me you haven't noticed how strange the people have been acting around here.

Maj. Carter

What are you talking about?

Jonas

Well for instance, that man there right behind Teal'c, he doesn't realize it, but he just put eight cubes of sugar into his coffee, and that lady over at the counter, she's been reading the same article for half an hour. Since we sat down, that waitress has dropped her tray twice and the cook has done three wrong orders including my hamburger, which I ordered medium rare, but is in fact well done. It's like the whole town is half asleep.

Maj. Carter

Well, according to their commander, the Kelownan government wants to reestablish trade relations with Earth.

Col. O'Neill

I hope you diplomatically told him where to shove it.

Maj. Carter

How come you're not smiling?

Jonas

Should I be?

Maj. Carter

Well, it is your first time being captured by a Goa'uld.

Maj. Carter

Sir. Several of the Tok'ra have expressed concern about the temporary quarters they've been assigned.

Col. O'Neill

Explain to them the meaning of the word "temporary". If they don't like it, they can leave.

Maj. Carter

You really want me to tell them that?

Col. O'Neill

Yes. No. [sighs] I'll do it.

Maj. Carter

It seemed like a power fluctuation in the cycle output of the naquadah reactor. But at closer inspection, I discovered the absorption port and its redundancy had been tampered with.

Col. O'Neill

Carter! I haven't had coffee.

Well, whoever it is, we're dealing with an enemy we can't see. Without TERs to counter that technology, we're helpless.

Do you have the means to generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field?

I could modify the wave output of the naquadah reactor.

Within a range of 400 to 700 nanometers?

That might just excite the phase particles enough to bring them into our visible light spectrum.

Col. O'Neill

Carter?

Sir, the invisibility field must operate—

Col. O'Neill

Are you about to tell me that you can make the invisible guy vi—

Yes, sir.

Col. O'Neill

That's all I need.

Jacob Carter

If you can see it, you can shoot it.

Col. O'Neill

Ooh! Anybody else feel that?

Maj. Carter

The tingling sensation is caused by the energy field. It's not causing any physical damage, so there's nothing to worry about, sir.

Col. O'Neill

No, I like it. It's good!

You're saying little green men helped you build this?

Maj. Carter

Actually, they're gray.

Col. O'Neill

They didn't go for it.

Maj. Carter

They didn't approve the mission?

Col. O'Neill

No, they did that. Once they knew the stakes and the whole "fate of the universe" stuff, both the president and Hammond realized we have no choice. He sends good luck, godspeed, and all those things he says when he thinks we're gonna die.

Maj. Carter

So what didn't they go for?

Col. O'Neill

The name I suggested.

Maj. Carter

For the ship?

Col. O'Neill

Yeah.

Maj. Carter

Yeah, sir, we can't call it the Enterprise.

Col. O'Neill

Why not?!

Maj. Carter

The project codename is Prometheus. What's wrong with that?

Col. O'Neill

It's a Greek tragedy. Who wants that?

Maj. Carter

What was the command?

Thor

To come forth.

Jonas

You instructed every Replicator out there to come to you?

Col. O'Neill

I have a theory why you lost the war.
