Samantha Carter quotes from Stargate SG-1

Maj. Carter

(sarcastically) If I'm going to take credit for this, shouldn't the EM pulse generator be pointed at the Gate?

Maj. Carter

I feel compelled to warn you, most of the guys I've dated recently have died.

Maj. Carter

It's done. It's just not… finished.

Capt. Carter

Janet Fraiser was an extraordinary person. She was kind and funny and talented. Above all, she was courageous. Try as I might I could not find the words to honor her, to do justice to her life. Thankfully I got some help. While words alone may not be enough, there are some names that might do. We often talk about those that give their lives in the service of their country, and while Janet Fraiser did just that, that's not what her life was about. The following are the names of the men and women who did not die in service, but who are in fact alive today because of Janet.

Maj. Carter

Sir? [She goes over to Jack and straightens his head to feel his pulse] Sir... His pulse is erratic. [To Jack] Don’t you dare leave us now. We won. [Jack part-opens his eyes and moves his head weakly. Sam takes hold of his chin.] Colonel.

Maj. Carter

[Pleads desperately] Please... Jack.

Maj. Carter

If you don’t take the job, we could end up with someone much worse. [Jack looks at her] Ok... that didn’t come out right...

Lt. Col. Carter

I'm sorry, I keep thinking I'm gonna step on a bug and change the future.

Lt. Colonel Carter

You Were? />

Col. O'Neill

Oh, here we go. Another scientist. General, please.

Capt. Carter

Theoretical astrophysicist.

Col. O'Neill

Which means?

Which means she's smarter than you are, Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.

Capt. Carter

I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel. And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.

Col. O'Neill

Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I've just got a little problem with scientists.

Capt. Carter

Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?

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!

No! I cannot look at you!

Capt. Carter

OK, now I'm hurt.
