Col. O'Neill and Maj. Carter in “Unfinished Business”

All right Carter, come on, on your feet let's go.

I was wondering when you were going to show up.

You just gonna sit there?

Too tired sir.

Samantha, I'm a figment of your imagination. You're gonna call me Sir?

Old habit. Sorry.

So, you gonna save yourself or what?

I've tried.

Just giving up then?

I just don't know what else to do right now.

You'll think of something.

Came to give me a pep talk?

That's what friends are for.

Friends...

Hey. This is you talking here. Might as well be honest.

What if I quit the Air Force? Would that change anything or is it just an excuse?

I would never ask you to give up your career.

Because you don't feel anything for me?

Carter...

I'd let you go right now if I knew.

That easy?

I didn't say it would be easy.

Then what's stopping you if you really wanna know?

I'm trying.

Maybe it's not me that's the problem here. Let's face it, I'm not that complex.

Me?

Sam. I'm a safe bet.

As long as I'm thinking about you, setting my sights on what I think is unobtainable, there's no chance of being hurt by someone else.

Jacob was right. You deserve more. I will always be there for you, no matter what. Believe me.

So what now?

Go save your ass.

One last thing... [Sam imagines them kissing.] Never mind.
