Stargate SG-1: Season 10
Flesh and Blood
Cam: Sam I'm going with them.
Sam: Um…me too…
Emerson: It's suicide
Sam: Well for Teal'c and Bra'tac that's not really an argument against going.
Emerson: But what about you?
Sam: However remote there is still a chance that Daniel is alive on board one of those Ori ships… he may need our help.
Emerson: You really believe that?
Sam: You don't know him like we do.
Pegasus Project
Daniel: I believe you. I do. I mean… I understand the fine line you have to walk and I realize the risk you're taking just showing yourself...but I'm sorry I want more…and you can pass that on to your friends as well... yeah, I know you're listening...because I am getting sick of hidden clues and cryptic messages. And Merlin was right that the Ori are a threat, but not only to us "lowers,"…not only to the billions of human lives throughout this galaxy, but to your own existence, because when this war is over and every soul that's left alive is…praying to the Ori… feeding their need to be worshipped...you know who they're going to come for next. I won't pretend to know what that war will look like…or on what battlefield it will take place, but then...I won't be alive to see it.
Morgan: If we interfere, we are no better than the Ori.
Daniel: I understand that that is at the very core of what you are…of
what you believe…but I'm talking about survival here. If you really
are trying to help, then help yourself.
Morgan: You speak from the heart, Dr. Jackson. That is what I
remember most from your brief time among us. No… you wouldn't recall.
Those memories were stripped from you when you were sent back.
Daniel: That's what you're afraid of, isn't it? Doing the right thing
and being punished for it.
Morgan: I've already gone too far.
Daniel: But you can't be the only one to realize the Ori have changed things. There must be others among you that see that the time to join this fight is now.
The Quest
JACKSON: Aren't you uh... the one that claimed to know the dragon's secret name? Time to earn your keep.
BA'AL: Ah yes, I may have exaggerated about that slightly. Anyway, you didn't think that just by calling out its name, you'd suddenly be able to control it?
JACKSON: I don't know. Name magic is common in most mythologies. To know something's secret name is to steal its power.
MITCHELL: So what are we supposed to do, just start guessing?
VALA: "Daryl" the dragon.
MITCHELL: How about "Smokey"?
TEAL'C: Perhaps "Puff".
CARTER: Maybe we're barking up the wrong tree here. Maybe the re-location program isn't in the DHD processor at all.
BA'AL: What? The obelisk? You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
CARTER: Says the brainiac who spent three days trapped in that force field.
VALA: Hey, you have to tell him that he doesn't have to do this. He'll listen to you.
MITCHELL: Oh, what team have you been on? Besides, we need this one.
VALA: What makes you think we'll even be allowed to use it? The Ancients didn't let Merlin get away with it last time!
MITCHELL: Vala, Vala... shhh... shut up... for once! We have to take the risk.
VALA: What? This is all about noble sacrifice for YOU, isn't it?
MITCHELL: Oh yeah, I'm sorry, what about you?
VALA: What?
MITCHELL: When you flew that cargo ship into the gap of the super gate, you knew damn well that you might not come out the other side alive.
VALA: No. That was different.
MITCHELL: Yeah, different because YOU were the one taking the risk. Well, now you know that the hard part about being on this team is not risking your own life. It's watching your friends take chances with theirs. Congratulations. Now you really are one of us.
Line in the Sand
C: I worked my ass off to get this team back together, and now we've lost… well, we've lost Jackson. I can't lose you too.
S: I've spent my entire life dedicated to science; the last ten years trying to convince people they believed in false gods. I don't feel like science is going to help me. Right now I'm just hoping, somewhere, one of those gods...
C: My Grandma use to say, "God is like a prairie wind storm. If you look too hard, you get dust in your eyes, but there's still plenty of ways to know it's there."
S: Is that what you believe?
C: I generally just nodded until she gave me a macaroon. There is one thing that I do know is true. The mind is a powerful thing. No matter who or what you believe in, sometimes belief itself makes all the difference in the world. You just don't give up. Tell yourself what ever you have to, just believe you're gonna make it, Sam.
The Shroud
Jack: This is new!
Daniel: Yeah, it's always something isn't it?
Jack: Gotta tell you though, not your look.
Daniel: Jack, you have to believe me!
Jack: Why?
Daniel: Why? Well, because, oh, I don't know, the fate of the GALAXY hangs in the balance?
Jack: You know, that old chestnut's getting a little... old.
Daniel: Now, you have to shut down that supergate and you have to let me go!
Jack: You KNOW how much I hate being told what to do.
Daniel: Jack, it's ME!
Jack: What, that's supposed to convince me?! Look at you!
Daniel: Have I ever let you down?! No, don't answer that. Have I ever let you down when it really mattered?
Jack: I don't know who I'm really talking to, right now!
Daniel: Not when you were being tortured by Baal, killed, brought back to life, over and over again. I stood by you the whole time.
Jack: Alright, just stop! I don't need to be reminded of that! We've been around this barbecue a few times.
Jack: I mean, come on, you've got to know what you're asking me to do.
Daniel: I do!
Jack: You know, there's a bottom line here. Carter doesn't think it can be done!
Daniel: Yes it can! A mark nine beamed directly behind the gate in the pegasus galaxy will destroy that gate. The wormhole connection will be broken.
Jack: How do you know that?
Daniel: Hello! Merlin!
Jack: Oh yes! Merlin!
Daniel: 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 just happens to hinge on you guys believing in me, having a little faith. Now I thought, you of all people might!
Jack: Why?! You of all people should know that I don't believe anything anybody says, even if I understand what they're talking about!
Talion
Teal'c: (walks away from Ba'Kal) "Ten seconds."
Ba'Kal: "Where are you going?"
Teal'c: "I am leaving. You are about to explode."
Bra'tac: "I would not like to be the one who opposes you."
Teal'c: "I have learned from the best, old friend."
Bra'tac: "I have not said this to you before and I should have. You are the son I never had. I could not be more proud."
Family Ties
Teal’c: “May I offer you a word of advice?”
Jacek: (to people passing by) “Hello. Hi.” (to Teal’c) “Any input that would help me better myself would be greatly appreciated.”
Teal’c: “Perhaps three words: Be less annoying.”
Jacek: “Say, how’d you like to go out to dinner with me once this is all over?”
Sam: “… Oh, I don’t think so.”
Jacek: “Why not?”
Sam: “Well, I’m an incredibly busy person with very little free time…. Oh! And you’re a jerk.”
Unending
Vala: "Being stuck on this ship is worse than being stuck at the SGC. I tell you, the last time I was this bored I took hostages!"
Daniel: "I was there."
Vala: "Out of curiosity how can you tell the difference?"
Daniel: "The voice."
Thor: "Many on the council did not believe we should be imparting such advancements."
Carter: "Well I promise we'll do our very best not to let you down."
Thor: "You are the fifth race. Your role is clear. If there is any hope in preserving the future. It lies with you…and your people."
Carter: "No pressure huh?"
Thor: "You have earned my respect and my friendship."
Carter: "Well, the feelings mutual."
Vala: "I'm going to go crazy… and I'm taking you with me."
Vala: "Do you think the Ori warriors could have found a way to get through the time dilation field and over here onto the ship?"
Teal'c: (packing the shelves*) "No."
Vala: "Cause I'm hearing things all the time. Are you hearing things?"
Teal'c: "I am trying not to."
Vala: "Maybe they found a way to ring over, but they can't figure out how to secretly shut off the time dilation field so their trying to drive us crazy and make us shut it down ourselves."
Teal'c: (getting annoyed) "No."
Vala: "That wasn't a question."
Teal'c: (glances at her) "No."
Daniel: Do you believe I could have any kind of serious feelings for you?!
Vala: I wasn't suggesting you have SERIOUS feelings, Daniel-
Daniel: Oh! Oh, so what, we sleep together once, then what? We work together! You know, even saying that part out loud, sounds unbelievable. I mean... come on! I mean, I can't even imagine what a relationship with you would be like! I mean, yes, yes, you've proven yourself to be...trustworthy, on a professional level, and for that I am very proud of you, but on a personal level? Vala, come on, give me a break! I mean, at best, you're an emotional, unstable wreck! I'm not saying I'm much better...I'm not saying I'm much better! There was a time when I thought I would NEVER...get over my wife. I mean, the idea of... being hurt that way, again. But I've finally gotten to the place... I've FINALLY, for the first time in a long time, have gotten to a place where I actually feel I could get close to someone again. But not in a million years...a MILLION, MILLION years, would I ever possibly consider that person being YOU! I mean, we are so completely opposite and WRONG for each other, it's not even funny! And the worst part, the WORST part about that is, you know that! And this whole flirty, sexual thing that you do - that's just your way of having a laugh at my expense. So I'm SO sorry if I'm not more appreciative of that, and I'm SO SORRY that you're BORED! But don't you pretend it's ANYTHING else! (he sees she's upset) DON'T act like you're hurt. (Hearing her crying, Daniel walks towards her, and she turns away) Hey...
Vala: Just give me a minute.
Daniel: Look at me. (he sees she isn't just playing, and leans in to kiss her. They pull apart after a moment and he smiles) You better not be messin' with me (they kiss again)
Cam: "See, what we need is... we need Superman to fly around the ship really, really fast."
Sam: (smiles) "Oh, if you only knew how ridiculous that was."
Cam: "No it only sounds ridiculous 'til you hear yourself say, 'I am trapped on a space ship stuck in a time dilation field.'"
Cam: "When I said I wanted to get the Team back together, work with you guys, learn from you... I did not mean every waking moment for the next 50 years."
Daniel: "You said that yesterday."
Cam: "I did?"
Teal'c: "And the day before"
Vala: "And the day before that"
Cam: "Oh... sorry. I'll just shut up now."
Daniel: "I want you to know, even if you are going to forget that I wasn't with you all these years... just because we were trapped on this God awful ship... I was with you because-"
Vala: "I know. And I want you to know that I-"
Daniel: "I know... I know."
D: You know Teal'c did tell me some things I learned from the Asgard knowledge base.
V: He did? Like what?
D: Oh boy. What were they?
W: Chevron 4 encoded.
D: "Beggars can't be choosers." "Better late than never." "Look before you leap."
C: "The best things in life a free."
V: Let me guess: "Beauty is only skin deep."
D: "Silence is golden."
W: Chevron 5 encoded.
C: "Jack of all trades, master of none."
S: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
V: "Life is too short."
W: Chevron 6 encoded.
T: "Good things come to those who wait."
S: You know, as hard as it is for us not knowing, it must be torture for you not to tell us.
T: Indeed.
W: Chevron 7 is locked.
L: Good luck SG-1.
C: Just another everyday mission to save the galaxy, Sir.
The others: Indeed.
L: God's speed.
(SG-1 walks through the gate one last time.)
200
Vala: Hey. Forget about the techno-talk. No one's really interested in it.
Marty: You're an alien, right?
Vala: Exactly! And I know just what this movie needs!
Marty: So how would you know what sci-fi fans from Earth would be interested in?
Vala: Aren't you also an alien?
Marty: Yeah... but I've been here... quite a while.
Aeryn Vala: Call me farhbot, but they're going to have our minvoks on a platter if we don't… starburst the draz out of here.
Crichton Daniel: The cluster's been damaged! We're not going anywhere!
Chianna Sam: Oh, dren!
D'Argo Teal'c: Hezmana!
Aeryn Vala: Frell!
Stark Cam: Aw, son of a hazmot!
Rygel Thor: Yotz!
[After the 'Gate shuts down and they see Marty in the briefing room]
Cam: Fix it.
Daniel: Quickly.
Sam: I'm on it.
[Sam hurries out of the gate room.]
Teal'c: Indeed.
Puppet Hammond: Sergeant, make it spin.
Puppet Walter: Spin? Si-sir, it doesn't spin.
Puppet Hammond: What? It has to spin, it's round! Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning. I-I'm the general, I want it to spin. Now!
Puppet Walter: Yes, sir.
[Walter types on the keyboard & the Stargate starts spinning]
Puppet Walter: Hey, look at that.
Cam: Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment.
[Marty looks at him blankly.]
Teal'c: I do not understand why everything in this script must inevitably explode.
Sam: Well, it has to do with the time that the gate sent us back to 1969.
Cam: Well, that can't have anything to do with me, I wasn't born 'till a year later.
Daniel: Actually, it was…nine months before he was born.
Cam: What?
Sam: You have to remember, it was the sixties.
Daniel: Come on, you have to have known that Jack's always taken an interest in your life.
Cam: Jack?… O'Neill?
Teal'c: Indeed.
Sam: Remember when you were chosen for the 302 program even though you didn't think you should get in? How about when you were chosen for SG-1?
Vala: Wait, are you saying that Jack O'Neill is…
Cam: …my daddy?
Daniel: All starting to make sense now, isn't it?
Teal'c: Hmm.
Cam: Oh, I'm being punk'd, aren't I?
Sam: We honestly can't tell you about 30185.
Marty: I'm talking about a twist. Something nobody's expecting.
Jack: You mean something like this?
[Jack walks in]
Vala: Wow, I don't think anyone will see that coming.
Daniel: No, but there'll be spoilers.
Sam: Are you kidding? It'll be in the commercial.
Cam: Well, you gotta open big. Catch people's attention. Make them think the whole thing is gonna be jam packed.
Vala: I love jam! [pause]
Oh, I get it. It's yet another playful twist on words in your "Earth" language.
Daniel: The mountain…blows up?
Marty: No possible hope for survival! Cool huh? I just wrote it based on what's going on with the gate. I love it when art imitates life.
Vala: Huh.
Cam: Hang on. We're alive in the next scene.
Marty: Oh, I just haven't fixed that part yet
Cam: You need closure. And I have the perfect thing. We're about to go on a mission to commemorate my 200th trip through the gate.
Jack: Really? 200 you say?
Sam: That's… 200 times he's stepped through the gate, sir, not actual missions.
Jack: To be honest, I wouldn't mind one last jaunt through the old orifice.
[The team look at the Stargate and back to O'Neill with awkward expressions]
What? We call it that sometimes, don't we? Orifice?
Puppet Hammond: And now, what this team needs is a leader, someone who'll laugh in the face of his enemy, even when it's inappropriate… Colonel Jack O'Neill.
Puppet Jack: I thought I told you I retired!
Puppet Hammond: Oh. I thought you said you were tired.
Puppet Jack: Well, as a matter of fact, I am a little… tired.
Puppet Hammond: There's no time for that now. You have a mission to lead.
Puppet Jack: Right!
Puppet Sam: I wonder what we're going to find on the other side.
Puppet Daniel: Whatever it is, I'll bet it's amazing.
Puppet Jack: Well, don't get too excited. It's just a simple recon.
Puppet Sam: Aren't you the least bit curious about what's out there?
Puppet Jack: Well, I'm just hoping we find some new meat for the team: preferably something… bald, mysterious… you know, the warrior type with lots of, you know… muscles.
Puppet Sam: Sir, the odds against any alien life forms we encounter looking remotely human are… astronomical.
Puppet Jack: Yeah, well… we'll see.
Daniel: What difference does it make? I mean, it's not like you're going to have an actual "ticking clock" on the screen.
Marty: That's brilliant!
Daniel: That's ridiculous.
Marty: Trust me, jeopardy plus ticking clock is box office. It's the E equals M C squared of the entertainment world. Ask any executive.
Puppet Daniel: Ooh. What is that?
Puppet Hammond: The reason you're here, Doctor. This big ring was discovered in the sands of Egypt near Giza.
Puppet Daniel: Then I was right! The pyramids really were landing sites for interplanetary starships that enslaved primitive populations by posing as their gods.
Puppet Hammond: Well we found the ring in the sand.
Science fiction is an existential metaphor. It allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said: "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all.
[After Marty describes a scene from his movie]
Daniel: Wait! Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Marty: What?
Daniel: Okay. One, that's Star Trek; and two, it's ridiculous.
Sam: Even still, do you know how many mission files there are?
Cam: 1,263. Hopefully sixty-four by the end of the day.
Daniel: Actually, it's 1,264 already.
Cam: No, it's sixty-three. I'm pretty sure I've read all the files recently.
Sam: Actually, you haven't read 30185.
Cam: 30185? What's that?
Daniel: We can't tell you.
Cam: What do you mean, "you can't tell me?" I have the highest security clearance known to mankind. What-what is 30185?
Sam: We were sworn to secrecy.
Cam: Well, why even mention it to me if you're not going to tell me what it is?
Sam: Sorry.
Vala: Can you tell me?
Daniel: Oh yeah, we can tell you.
Young Teal'c: Yo, dawg, whadja do that for?
Young Cam: Dude, that hot chick was so totally a Goa'uld.
Young Teal'c: Duh. I was still gonna tap that.
Young Cam: You don't appreciate me, do you?
Young Sam: I think you're so totally awesome.
Young Cam: That's what I'm talkin' about.
Young Teal'c: Yo, Wonderbread? You got that address figured out yet?
Young Daniel: Chill, T! I'm like, translating as fast as I can!
Young Vala: I'm so sick of being treated like some sort of object to be worshiped! I'm a real person with real feelings!
Young Daniel: You know… I don't think Mitchell likes me any more.
Young Vala: I'm pregnant.
