"Children of the Gods Part 1"

Famous first meeting of O'Neill and Carter


HAMMOND: Where's Captain Carter?

SAMUELS: Just arriving, sir.

O'NEILL sad still standing) Carter?

HAMMOND: I'm assigning Sam Carter to this mission.

O'NEILL:I'd prefer to put together my own team, sir.

HAMMOND: Not on this mission, sorry. Carter's our expert on the Stargate.

O'NEILL sad leaning over table to write down something) Where's he transferring from?

CARTER: (offscreen) *She* is transferring from the Pentagon.

Startled, O'Neill looks up as a blonde woman dressed in full dress blues, enters, walking over to stand by the vacant chair across from O'Neill.

CARTER: I take it you're Colonel O'Neill. (salutes) Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.

O'Neill, a bit surprised, returns the salute.

KAWALSKY: But of course you go by "Sam."

CARTER: (chuckles) You don't have to worry, Major. I played with dolls when I was a kid.

KAWALSKY: G.I. Joe?

CARTER: No. Major Matt Mason.

KAWALSKY: Oh... (to Ferretti) Who?

FERRETTI: Major Matt Mason, astronaut doll. Did you have that cool little backpack that made him fly?

HAMMOND: Let's get started. Colonel?

Carter takes her seat as O'Neill begins.

O'NEILL:Thank you. Those of you on your first trip through the Stargate, you should be prepared for what to expect.

CARTER: I've practically memorized your report from the first mission. I'd like to think I've been preparing for this all my life.

KAWALSKY: I think what the Colonel is saying is... have you ever pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at 8-plus Gs?

CARTER: Yes.

KAWALSKY: (hesitates, taken aback) Well... it's way worse than that.

FERRETTI: By the time you get to the other side, you're frozen stiff like you've just been through a blizzard ... Naked.

CARTER: That's a result of the compression your molecules undergo during the millisecond required for reconstitution.

O'NEILL:Oh, here we go, another scientist. General... please.

CARTER: Theoretical astrophysicist.

O'NEILL:Which means...?

HAMMOND: It means she is smarter than you are, Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.

Kawalsky and Ferretti chuckle. O'Neill gives them a look, and they try to look serious.

CARTER: Colonel, I was studying the Gate technology for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work and before you both went through. I should have gone through then. But sir, you and your *men* might as well accept the fact that I am going through this time.

O'NEILL:Well, with all due respect, Doctor--

CARTER: It is appropriate to refer to a person by their rank, not their salutation. Call me "Captain," not "Doctor."

HAMMOND: Captain Carter's assignment to this unit is not an option, it's an order.

CARTER: I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel. And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.

O'NEILL sad sitting down) Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I've just got a little problem with scientists.

CARTER: Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?

Kawalsky and Ferretti look impressed by now, and O'Neill shrugs it off - but it's clear he's done arguing.

I've been meaning to post this! it's one of my favs.

from end of season 4
O'Neill: Excuse me, I think someone said 'We're not going to make it' looks like we made it. Next time can you refrain from saying that until we actually don't make it.

Jacob: and give up my last chance at ever being right in the universe...I don't think so

Carter: Welcome to my life.

i love the wotes...soem of them i don't rememeber....
