Cameron Mitchell quotes from Stargate SG-1

Me too.

CEColonel Emerson

It's suicide.

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

CEColonel Emerson

What about you?

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

CEColonel Emerson

You really believe that?

You don't know him like we do.

Teal'c

There never usually are rules in war.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Unfortunately right now, there is no war. In a war, you have two sides fighting. All we have is a lot of winning by the bad guys.

Dr. Jackson

That's when it hit me: Sir Gawain.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Wasn't he one of the Knights who say "Ni"?

Teal'c

Perhaps we should rest.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[starts to sit down, then stands up again] No...that's a bad idea. And I'm starting regret staying up late to watch Deuce Biglaow: European Gigolo last night. Check that, I regretted it almost immediately.

See, I still think it's cause for celebration. So I say we go out, have lunch, and I'll pay.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Pay with what, exactly?

Well, Daniel will cover me until I get my share of the loot.

Dr. Jackson

[exasperated] "Loot."

Yeah, from all the treasures we're going to bring back from our off-world travels. What, I have to wait until I'm off probation before I start collecting?

LCLt. Colonel Sheppard

Well, good luck, and listen, if McKay gives you a hard time, just…

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Shoot him.

LCLt. Colonel Sheppard

Also, he's mortally allergic to citrus.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Really?

LCLt. Colonel Sheppard

I keep one with me at all times. [pulls a lemon from his vest pocket] It's just a comfort to know… [tosses the lemon to Mitchell] …it's there.

[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…"

[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.

He was thinking that one up the whole way home.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Yeah, the whole three seconds.

Three point two.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[shrugs] Good point.

BABa'al clone

You are trying to goad me into revealing information.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

No, I'm just calling it like I see it. And right now, you don't strike me as someone who could intimidate a ten year old out of his lunch money, much less run an interstellar empire.

BABa'al clone

[in Goa'uld voice] Why don't you have the guard excuse himself for a moment, and I'll show you just what I am "capable" of?

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

See, now I know you're not the real Ba'al. The real Ba'al wouldn't have cared about the guard.

Lt. Col. Mitchell

General.

Somebody, give me some good news.

[Vala stops her attempts to arm wrestle Teal'c.]

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Sorry, sir. I still don't have anything useful.

I didn't even make it to first base.

You don't think you can control her?

Lt. Col. Mitchell

No, I know I can't control her, but that's pretty much par for the course. Sir... Carter and I are the same rank, Teal'c's an alien, Jackson's a civilian. I learned a long time ago I don't control anything.

Who does?

I told ya, the last thing we need is for this place to turn into the O.K. Corral.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Or a vice-presidential bird hunt.
