Stargate SG-1 quotes

Lt. Col. Mitchell

[to Vala, after Daniel downloaded Merlin's consciousness into his mind] The hard part of this team is not risking your own life, it's watching your friends take chances with theirs. Congratulations, now you're really one of us.

Dr. Jackson

I'm going to be fine...

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Look, you don't get fancy mindpowers unless there's been major redecorating going on inside your skull...

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Coffee!

Lt. Col. Carter

Oh, thank you!

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Don't get too excited, they packed us decaf by mistake.

Lt. Col. Carter

D'oh.

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Loud and clear, Teal'c. What's up?

Teal’c

Our time.

Lt. Col. Carter

I spent my entire life dedicated to science. That's the last ten years, trying to convince people they believed in false gods. I don't feel like science is gonna help me. Right now, I'm just hoping somewhere one of those gods...

Lt. Col. Mitchell

My grandma used to say, "God is like a prairie windstorm. If you look too hard, you get dust in your eyes, but there's still plenty of ways to know it's there."

Lt. Col. Carter

Is that what you believe?

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Actually, I generally just nodded until she gave me a macaroon.

Lt. Col. Carter

That's a good sign.

Lt. Col. Mitchell

That's easy for you to say, you with that little flesh wound.

I have not begun to question the will of the Ori, but I have begun to question the interpretation of their words. No matter what you say, I will not believe the Book of Origin asks us to massacre innocent people! And I will not stand by while the Holy Doctrine of Good Will and Faith that I have sworn to uphold is twisted into a hammer and used to beat people down!

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Pretty good, huh?

Lt. Col. Carter

Actually, they are pretty good

Lt. Col. Mitchell

[looking at Carter's face] You hate it.

Lt. Col. Carter

Yup, sorry.

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Well, to each their own.

Lt. Col. Carter

I'm not who you think I am.

Dr. McKay

Oh my god, you're a lesbian, is that what you're trying to tell me?

Lt. Col. Carter

What? No - McKay!

Lt. Col. Carter

The Rodney McKay I know wouldn’t back down from a challenge. He is one of the most forthright, courageous… and selfless men I have ever met.

Dr. McKay

[preening] Hmm. [realizes] Aw, you’re making that up, aren’t you?

Lt. Col. Carter

Most of it, yeah.

Lt. Col. Carter

The Rodney I know is a master of subtle persuasion.

Dr. McKay

Huh. Oh, you’re lying again, aren’t you?

Are you saying this Prior’s claims are false?

Lt. Col. Mitchell

We’re saying that book’s got about as much truth in it as The Da Vinci Code.

Vala

[conspiratorially] Hey, that’s what they want you to think.

[brightly] This is new.

[casual] Yeah, it's always something, isn't it?

I gotta tell you though, not your look.

Jack, you have to believe me.

Why?

"Why." Well because, oh I don't know, the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance?

You know, that old chestnut is getting a little... old.

No, no, that part never gets old. Now, you have to shut down that Supergate, and you have to let me go!

[jokingly] You know I hate being told what to do.

Jack, it's me!

[shouting] What, that's supposed to convince me?! Look at you!

Have I ever let you down? No, don't answer that, have I ever let you down when it really mattered?

You know, there's a bottom line here: Carter doesn't think it can be done.

Yes, it can. A Mk-9 beamed directly behind the gate in the Pegasus galaxy will destroy that gate, the wormhole connection will be broken.

How do you know that?

Hello!? Merlin!

[mockingly] Oh yes. [in "spooky" voice] Merlin!

[frustrated] Jack, I wish I had proof. I wish I had a way to convince you, but I don't. Now this was the only choice I had and I took it. It's a good plan, it-it just happens to hinge on you guys believing in me, having a little faith. Now, I thought you of all people might!

Why!? You of all people should know that, I don't believe anything anybody says, even if I understand what they're talking about!
