Dr. Jackson and Gen. O'Neill in “Unfinished Business”

Come on, Jack!

Still no, Daniel.

But it doesn't have to be on a permanent basis!

I didn't let you go in the first place. What makes you think I'm gonna change my mind?

Because.

Can you try to do better than that?

Because they're going to need somebody who can translate Ancient. I'm the most qualified person left on the planet for the mission.

Which is exactly why you're gonna stay right here.

[desperately] Because I'll quit!

Why don't you just hold your breath? You haven't done that in a while.
