On Chulak, when a great warrior retires from the field of battle it is custom to sing a song of lament. [Hammond looks at him expectantly] Fortunately, we are not on Chulak.

So what do we know about this new guy?
Not much.
I hope he's not a spit-and-polish, brass tacks...
[Interrupts him] Hard-ass?
I was building up to that
A few moments later after Major General Bauer has delivered a very terse introduction of himself to the SGC Personnel
Always leave 'em wanting more... I guess.
May I remind you that if it weren't for SG-1, you'd be sitting here with a snake in your head instead of your head up your a-

[Visibly angry] Colonel!
[O'Neill and Maybourne enter Maybourne's safehouse apartment. It is almost completely empty. O'Neill surveys the living area dispassionately]
[after a pause] Have ya heard of IKEA?
[Maybourne goes to a small refrigerator. He opens it, revealing that it contains lots of beer and a bottle of mustard.]
I see you're on that famous Beer and Mustard Diet. How's that working out for ya?
[to Mrs. Kinsey] Afternoon ma'am. I'm Mr. Starsky and this is… Hutch (referring to Maybourne).
I'm not leaving until I get what I came for.
Oh, and what are you going to do?
Well, I was thinkin'... [he draws his sidearm and points it at Kinsey] ...about shootin' ya.
Jack. What are you doing?
Gettin' a little dirty for ya Maybourne?
Colonel, have you completely taken leave of your senses?
I've been hanging around Maybourne. What does that say?
How dare you come into my house waving a gun!
Not waving! Pointing! Sit down.
[Kinsey sits down.]
[Gesturing with his sidearm] I'll give you a choice. White meat, or dark meat
Given the chance, half of all American citizens won't even vote, and the half that do vote are too stupid to know what they're doing.
Which explains how you got elected.

Uh... the sun's beeping.
[Teal'c and another Jaffa are attempting to pass through a security checkpoint, but the guard tells them to hand over their staff weapons]
We carry these for ceremonial purposes only.
GGuard
I'm sorry, but you'll have to let me have it.
Very well. [shoots the guard]
So this is the place you kept threatening to take me. It's good to see you, sir.
I'm retired, Carter. Lose the "sir".
It turns out we made a mistake. A big one.
Which one? We made a few.
Our alliance with the Aschen.
Oh, that. Not working out, is it? Gosh, I wish I'd seen that coming. Oh, wait…I did see that coming.
Well let me tell you something, Carter you want to erase your mistakes, that's your business. My conscience is clear. I warned everybody. I threw up the red flag and everyone, including you, shut me down.
I'm asking you to put that behind us...
You're not happy with the way things turned out, I'm sorry to hear that... Personally, I like things the way they are. No more saving the world, just a nice pond with no pesky fish in it. And the single most pressing issue in my life is whether or not to get a dog...(beat) There're a lot of pros and cons to consider...
[Sgt. Harriman leaves the briefing room, pretending he didn't see SG-1 planning there]
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thursday!

GHGen. Hammond
Welcome to Earth.
A spark lights a flame, but the candle will only burn as long as the wick.
If I may, sir. I think what he means is the wick is the centre of the candle, and ostensibly a great leader, like yourself, is essential to the... whole ball of wax. Basically, what it means is that it's always better to have a big, long wick. Right?
Don't look at me.
It's right, though? Right?
Sir, we've received word from the Tok'ra.
[annoyed] Did we really have to call them?
