From my favourite Buffy/SG-1 crossover:

Context: After running into SG-1 in a Sunnydale graveyard and fighting off some demons and vampires serving a Goa'uld, the Scoobies head for Buffy's house, prompting the following exchange:

Buffy looked back to the military group. "You guys coming?"

None of them spoke for a moment, trading slightly puzzled looks.

"Information? You know, intelligence?" Buffy asked. "Free of charge."

"Plus snacks," Xander chimed in. "I think Mrs. Summers is making nachos."

Buffy smiled. "You're all welcome to come." She looked around. "Anyone seen Spike?" she asked - then shrugged it off and made for home.

"We have got to get control of this situation," O'Neill fumed as they began to trail the younger generation.

"Perhaps we should confide in them, O'Neill," Teal'c said.

O'Neill stopped in his tracks. "What?!"

"The young woman fought with a strength that rivals the strongest of any Jaffa. And she appears to possess knowledge of the sort of creatures this renegade Goa'uld is choosing for his forces. Both are powerful assets." He paused. "It is also significant that her elder recognized the mark of Apophis," he continued, absently replacing the ski-cap on his head.

Daniel passed them, shaking his head. "Not necessarily, Teal'c. Apophis was, after all, part of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, so that may be the extent of his knowledge. But it may still be worth looking into."

"Carter? Please tell me you have a sensible suggestion?"

Carter shrugged. "Those kids are involved somehow. Our best bet to get them out of the way may be to play along, get what information we can." She smiled as she walked past O'Neill and Teal'c to follow Daniel. "And I could go for some nachos right about now."

O'Neill groaned, put the staff on his shoulder, and looked at Teal'c. "Please tell me you're not thinking nachos."

"I was not."

"Thank you."

"But I am amenable to the idea."

O'Neill watched Teal'c pass him, using his staff weapon as a walking stick, then glanced skyward. "Why me?" he asked, before trudging off.

I've read that story at least a dozen times, and Teal'c being amenable to nachos cracks me up every single time.
