Stargate SG-1, One False Step, Quote

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Colonel Jack O’Neill: Well, I think you might be losing what’s left of your mind.
Dr. Daniel Jackson: What’s that supposed to mean?
Jack: It means that on a good day you can be a little flaky.
Daniel: And on a good day you can be a little ignorant and condescending.
Jack: You’re obviously misreading a basic philosophical difference of opinion on how to handle a crisis.
Daniel: Oh please! We have a-a difference of opinion on just about everything!
Jack: Give me an example.
Daniel: U-u-u, I don’t know! Pick something! How – how about – how about mythology!
Jack: Rumors, lies, fairytales.
Daniel[Daniel spins around bouncing animatedly waving his hands.] You see! See! See! See! See! See!
[Alien #1 toddles up to them, as Daniel starts yelling.]
Daniel: Mythology is one of the primary motivations for cultural development!
Jack: [yelling] Maybe it is, what’s that got to do with filming a plant?
Daniel: [yelling] Exactly!
Jack: [yelling] What does that mean?!
Daniel: [yelling] I don’t know!
[Alien #1 looks from O’Neill to Daniel and back, blinking his confusion, he smiles at O’Neill and Daniel. O’Neill seems to realize they have crossed the line.]
