SG-1 quotes from Stargate SG-1

Wait! You promised to listen.

XLXe'ls

What they don't know won't hurt them. Isn't that what your leaders said? Their word means nothing!

TTekaya

As would mine! I gave my word to this one [indicates Jackson] so we could save you.

XLXe'ls

Very well. I am listening but nothing might sway me from punishing you.

For what? Showing Tonane who you really are? You've been posing as their gods for crying out loud.

TTekaya

Is that truly what you believe we do? When we drove away the Goa'uld a hundred years ago, we posed as their Spirits to guide and protect them without interferring. And now...

XLXe'ls

You have disrupted the harmony between us. In time, they will learn to fear us, take the key, and forge weapons against us.

No. Tonane's people are from this world. Even now they value the natural world above technology.

Trust them. You shouldn't be posing as their gods.

XLXe'ls

That still doesn't erase the second transgression.

Fine. I give you my word. We will not try to mine the metal.

TTekaya

Even if we could take your word, your superiors will not be swayed by your oath.

Then don't take my word for it. Shut down your Stargate. That way, no one can come to your world unless you allow it.

TTekaya

(Looking at Xe'ls) Star travel is useless to us. Let's shut down the gate. Our friend Tonane is wise, as is our friend Jack.

XLXe'ls

And so he is.

[The final scene of the series]

General Landry

Dial it up, Walter.

Yes, sir. [starts dialing the Stargate] Chevron one encoded.

That is how we're supposed to travel light-years across the galaxy to other planets. [points at the spinning Gate]

Chevron two encoded.

[to Teal'c] You know, I'd like to imagine I handled myself well, but...I imagine I went a bit crazy cooped up on that ship for so long.

[Teal'c smiles]

Chevron three encoded.

You know, Teal'c did tell me some of the things I learned from the Asgard database.

Vala

He did? Like what?

Oh, boy. What were they?

Chevron four encoded.

Beggars can't be choosers. Better late than never. Look before you leap.

The best things in life are free.

Vala

Let me guess, beauty is only skin deep?

Silence is golden.

Chevron five encoded.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Lt. Col. Carter

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Vala

Life is too short.

Chevron six encoded.

Teal'c

Good things come to those who wait.

Lt. Col. Carter

[to Teal'c] You know, as hard as it is for us not knowing, it must be torture for you not to tell us.

Teal'c

Indeed.
