Samantha Carter quotes from Stargate SG-1

Lt. Colonel Carter

As we discussed the situation, we realized we could pinpoint the source of the phenomenon to a precise window, specifically, the interim journey between the two gates.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Did she just say "we?"

Lt. Colonel Carter

Pardon me?

Dr. Jackson

She said "we." You said "we?"

Lt. Colonel Carter

Ah. Uh, me and...myself, I suppose. The other Samantha Carter.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Right. Finally someone who can keep up with you, huh?

Lt. Colonel Carter

[Happily] Yup.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

You know, I read all the mission reports on the Asgard. They're not what I expected.

Lt. Colonel Carter

What were you expecting?

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Well, pants, for one.

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.

Teal'c

You stated you had information of great importance.

Vala

I do, I do. And I'm getting there.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

We get the back story. Tomin is a nice guy, Seevis is a butthead. How about you skip ahead a little?

Vala

Okay. Tomin and I got married—

Lt. Colonel Carter

Whoa, married?

Vala

Stay with me. I had no choice. I told you, he was very devout, and there's no way he would have slept with me out of wedlock.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Okay, maybe we skipped ahead a little too far.

Vala

Well, I tried to lay it out in order...Ooh, that's a bad choice of words.

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]

Lt. Colonel Carter

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, it won't work.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Marks, do you mind? [takes piloting controls] Hang on Sam, we're coming to get you.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Oh, boy.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Look, the sub-light engines don't have that much control. If you hit me, even at minimum velocity...

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[into radio] I'm not going to hit you. [to himself] Not on purpose.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Even if you get me in past the shield, the artificial gravity will kick in. A fall from even thirty feet in this suit...

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Sam, stop worrying. Kvasir is riding the controls manually.

You're going too fast.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

This tub doesn't go any slower.

Bra'tac

We cannot merely stand by as our brothers and sisters fall.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

I'm going with them.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Me too.

It's suicide.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Well, for Teal'c and Bra'tac, that's not really an argument against going.

What about you?

Lt. Colonel Carter

However remote, there is still a chance that Daniel's alive on board one of those Ori ships. He may need our help.

You really believe that?

Lt. Colonel Carter

You don't know him like we do.

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.

Dr. McKay

I am just saying, the yield calculations can be extremely tricky, if not borderline impossible. [smugly] You may need me.

Vala

Colonel Carter said as much.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Ooohhhh, we weren't going to tell him that.

Dr. McKay

But um, first, I just wanted to thank you for being there for me recently in a time of great personal need. Well, actually, you weren't there— I was alone in the dark, but um, you know, it sure seemed like you were.

Lt. Colonel Carter

[suspiciously] Are you telling me one of your fantasies?

Dr. McKay

No it was a hallucination, I had a concussion, I was trapped in the back of a sinking Jumper and my mind conjured you up as a means of survival, it's what you would do in my situation. You saved my life

Lt. Colonel Carter

OK well, that's… sort of nice.

Dr. McKay

Mmm. Yes it was.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Was I naked?

Dr. McKay

[slightly embarrassed] Partially.

Lt. Colonel Carter

[regarding McKay] You know, Cam, he's not wrong. As much as it pains me to say it, the data from our first attempt supports his argument.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Well, like my grandma used to say, "if at first you don't succeed…"

Lt. Colonel Carter

[wryly] "…try a larger thermonuclear reaction?"

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Her words exactly.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Chief, we've got a full count. Two strikes, three Ba'als.

Sgt. Harriman

[laughing] Oh, that's clever, sir.

Lt. Colonel Carter

He was thinking that one up the whole way home.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Yeah, the whole three seconds.

Lt. Colonel Carter

Three point two.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[shrugs] Good point.
