I havered on this for a while. Do Jack or Sam need days? Should I give someone else a chance – Cam or Vala for instance, because I sadly neglect them? And then I thought, screw it.
For those of you who've seen Ark Of Truth? Please don't quote it. I've not seen it, and won't for a month or so, and I've so far avoided most spoilers on it (I tell you, it's killing me not to read all the squee). Ta. Oh, but feel free to quote Season 10 all you like.
So, to start you off, because I do love this bit from CoTG, cheesy though it definitely is...
Sam: 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.
Jack: Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I just have a little problem with scientists.
Sam: Colonel, I logged over a hundred hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?
The matching one, which made me laugh and laugh...
Moebius!Sam: This is totally unbelievable! You are a small and pathetic man! Those were my theories on spin wave technology and the effects of anti-gravity on electromagnetism, and you know it! Now, just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't… God! That's horrible! Who would ever say that?
And finally, one from Space Race:
Sam: Look, I know that this could be dangerous. But this is our job right? It's what we signed on to do. We take risks in the hope of achieving new levels of technology. If and I stress if, participating in this race just happens to be a little bit… I don't know…
Daniel: Fun?
Sam: What's a girl to do?
Season 10 spoilers may be in comments.

I hope to come back later with more, but just for starters:
"Maybourne, you are an idiot every day of the week! Why couldn't you have just taken one day off?"
Hee hee hee. :)
There are dozens of quotes that make me adore her, but this is my all time favorite:
"You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water."
"It's done. It's just not 'finished.'" (Death Knell)
"Jack O'Neill: I just walked in with a handfull of ingredients for my world-famous omelette!
Sam Carter: World-famous huh? What's in it?
Jack O'Neill: Eggs.
Sam Carter: I don't think that that actually qualifies as a recipe.
Jack O'Neill: Oh don't kid yourself, there's a secret ingredient I can't tell you what it is or I'd have to shoot you.
Sam Carter: It's beer isn't it?"
Jonas Quinn: Hey, Major? How do I know what color to wear?
Carter: We call each other every morning.
Carter: There's a circuitous path of real timewinding through the temporal field.
Mitchell: It's a maze? It's a maze.
Ba'al: I know where you come from you're considered relatively intelligent, but by galactic standards that's not really saying much. Wouldn't you agree? Carter punches him.
Carter: You know, if you're not going to help you're really not much use to us, and if you're not much use to us then there's really no point in keeping you alive any longer. Wouldn't you agree?
Ba'al: I'd, ah, be delighted to help.
Carter: Great to hear.
Aaaaaaaaand because I know you'll appreciate this one:
Carter: It took us 15 years and 3 super computers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth.
DARIAN: This is very strange to me.
CARTER: This kind of stuff happens to us all the time.
*g*
"Oh, yeah. I also wish to blow us all to hell." (There But For The Grace Of God)
*resists making obvious joke*
Nothin'. I just think it's funny how you're always losing your pants.
O'Neill: Cool... and check. Phasers?
Carter: Sorry, Sir.
(I can't express how much I love Jack's inner sci-fi geek--but then, this is about Sam. Ahem.)
Mitchell: This is great. We got the band back together!
Carter about Vala: So what's with the extra back-up singer?
Carter: As we discussed the situation we realized we could pinpoint the source of the phenomenon to a precise window. Specifically the interim journey between the two gates.
Mitchell: Did she just say "we"?
Carter: Pardon me?
Jackson: She said "we". You said "we"?
Carter: Ah, me and... myself, I suppose. The other Samantha Carter.
Mitchell: Right. Finally someone who can keep up with you, huh?
Carter: Yep.
Adria: Taking your life would be a waste of my time.
Ba'al: Which I suppose would be put to better use complaining.
Carter: Ugh. Geez, why don't you two just get a room.
And the Adria/Ba'al quote there...makes me laugh, every time.
CARTER: Besides, all we're really doing is plugging your ship into my battery.
CORSO: Whatever you say.
CARTER: That didn't sound very good, did it?
Hee hee!
Or words to that effect. *grin*
Jack: Hey, how come you're not downstairs with the rest of the eggheads? Not that you're…an egghead…Well, you are…actually…but in a good way.
Sam: I couldn't think down there…they all kept looking at me for the answer.
Jack: Well, you do have a penchant for pulling brilliant ideas out of your butt. [Sam gives him an incredulous look.] Head…out of your head…when we need them.
Sam: Not this time.
Jack: Well, you still got two days to work on it.
Sam: Sir, I don't think I could solve this if I had a couple of years.
Jack: Carter, am I sensing fear in your voice?
Sam: Yes, actually, a lot of fear.
Jack: Well, stop it! You're making me nervous.
Sam: What about you, Sir? Any ideas? I mean, sometimes you have a way of seeing things at…at their simplest.
Jack: Thank you. I'm gonna go eat some cake.
Sam: I think I'll join you.
"McKay, go suck a lemon."
So, every other week, then. ;)
Heh. I do like her and McKay together.
looking at the Abydos Stargate's DHD
Sam: Amazing. This is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it. It took us 15 years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth.
Jack: Captain?
Sam: Look how small it is!
From CotG: "I knew I'd like you."
From Orpheus:
CARTER: So they fly halfway across the galaxy in a highly advanced spaceship, but they don't use their technology to take over the planet. You know what their weakness turned out to be? Water! I mean, if that's true, why go to all the trouble to invade a planet that's two-thirds water. Not to mention the rain.
DANIEL: Why do you watch those movies if all you're going to do is cut 'em up?
CARTER: Come on! Don't you occasionally like to see if they're getting it anywhere close to right?
From Chimera:
DANIEL: Did I mention in the dream, the table was written in Ancient, and in the dream, I could read Ancient?
CARTER: Well, that's not so odd considering you can also do that when you're awake.
A Sam/Pete moment (he actually thinks she's kidding!):
CARTER: Well, then, I feel compelled to warn you, most of the guys I have dated recently, have died.
PETE: As in…
CARTER: Dead.
PETE: How?
CARTER: Various circumstances.
Jonas/Sam moments from Nightwalkers:
JONAS: Well, I've memorized all your mission reports. I just don't want people around here to start thinking I'm…strange.
CARTER: People don't think you're…strange.
JONAS: What about Colonel O'Neill?
CARTER: (after a moment) Let's get some lunch.
---
JONAS:So when we were in the Sheriff's Office…you were in complete control?
CARTER: That's right.
JONAS: And you felt it absolutely necessary…to really slap me.
CARTER: Had to make it look good. Let's get some lunch.
JONAS: Mm. I'm really starting to enjoy this, uh, traditional American food. Mm.
CARTER: We have another tradition…it's called hardened arteries
Sam and Teal'c (and Daniel) from Cold Lazarus:
TEAL'C: You received permission for me to fire my staff weapon in the Gate Room?
[Daniel and Carter look shifty.]
CARTER: Oh yeah.
DANIEL: Absolutely.
Mitchell and Carter "Arthur's Mantle":
MITCHELL: You are still working on that thing!
CARTER: (guiltily) Oh, hi.
MITCHELL: Did you sleep here last night?
CARTER: Of course not...I slept down the hall in my quarters.
Carter and Woolsey:
WOOLSEY: All I'm asking for is a little reassurance. A few words to let them know that everything is going to be okay. I don't think it's too much to ask, all things considered.
CARTER: Mister Woolsey, if I could go back in time, which admittedly is an opportunity I am occasionally presented with, I would have made sure that we left the base as scheduled. But the reality is, for the time being, we are stuck here. Trapped in this cave, surrounded by predatory insects with no way of getting to the Stargate. Now I'm sorry, but I'm going to have a hard time mustering up a convincing pep talk, all things considered.
WOOLSEY: I see. In that case, I'd just like to point out that this routine off-world excursion has turned into a disaster, and the ramifications for Stargate Command will be enormous. Saving our lives would go a long way toward minimizing the damage.
CARTER: (whispering, sarcastic) I'll keep that in mind.
[A lot of it is really in the delivery, isn't it?
Okay, I'll stop now. :-)
Oh, that reminds me of "Road Not Taken" -- I adore Sam having made the warning sign and then forgotten to put it outside the force field. That's such an authentic geek-out moment.
From "Small Victories:"
Major Samantha Carter: If there are still a small enough number of the replicators on board, a properly equipped team could possibly...
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Save the world?
Major Samantha Carter: Getting old for you, sir?
I find her expressions so cute in "Upgrades," particularly when she gives the guy who she just beat in pool that kind of bemused, "oh, this guy has no idea what's going to happen" look. But here's an exchange from the same ep:
Waitress: What can I get you?
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Um, three of the biggest steaks you've got, with everything, rare, and baked potato.
Waitress: You got it!
[She starts to walk off]
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Excuse me... That was for me!
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Yeah, I'm gonna have three as well.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Four?
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Four... Four is good, yeah.
Major Samantha Carter: Me too, and French fries with mine... oh and a diet soda!
[O'Neill and Jackson give her a funny look]
Major Samantha Carter: I like the taste better!
I wanted to find her fight with O'Neill from "The Light" where she insults him... but I couldn't. And I should stop now. This is a little addictive.
Jack: What?
Sam: Oh I guess the reality that we may never go home is starting to sink in.
Jack: Oh, Hammond will keep us supplied with everything we need until we figure this out. It's a nice beach.
Sam: Be a good excuse for you, wouldn't it?
Jack: What?
Sam: To do nothing for a while?
Jack: What?
Sam: Forget it.
Jack: You mean "Forget it, sir."
Sam: Oh you think I'm keeping that up if were stuck here forever?
Jack: Listen, Major.
Sam: No way!
Jack: That's "No way, Colonel!"
Sam: I'm supposed to accept that. That's the way it's going to be?
Jack: That's the way it is.
Sam: What difference does it make? It's not up to you.
Jack: Carter! You're in withdrawal.
Sam: Oh, I'm in withdrawal?!
Jack: Yes! So am I.
Carter: If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, it won't work.
Mitchell: Hang on, Sam. We're coming to get you.
Carter: Aw boy.
(That season six one with the Hebridans)
Corso: You're an officer in your homeworld's military, you're a scientist, an explorer, and apparently you're a pretty fair mechanic.
Carter: And I make a mean souffle.
(Fragile Balance)
Major General George Hammond: In the meantime, I suggest we try to make him as comfortable as possible.
Major Samantha Carter: I'll go set up a Playstation
Abu: No! I cannot look at you!
Capt. Carter: Ok, now I'm hurt.
Capt. Carter: Yeah, my career is over.
Dr. Fraiser: Don't worry about it. I can fix him up as good as new when this thing is over.
Capt. Carter: Great. So he can bring me up on charges.
Teal'c: The destruction of the hammer device in order to save my life may have caused this. If so, I am responsible.
Col. O'Neill: General, I gave the order.
Dr. Jackson: I fired the staff weapon.
Capt. Carter: And I... was there
The problem with the funny Sam-quotes is that the poor girl's so often the straight man.. individual. You know that doing a Jack one of these will explode LJ, right?
I'm hoping. :)
Yeah, Sam gets the straight lines and the exposition a lot. Then again, like Aurora has mentioned, it's often in her delivery.
Bregman: OK ... Major Samantha Carter, US Air force, Astrophysicist. Considered the foremost expert of the Stargate. You've explored territory that no one on Earth ... in the history of Earth has ever seen ... and you've fought an enemy that no one on Earth has even imagined. Major Samantha Carter meet the six billion people of the planet Earth.
*grumbles at bloody Photobucket*
From Space Race:
Warrick:"A complete operations manual for the Seberus. I had it translated for you."
Sam: "Thank you."
Jack: "That's not our language."
Sam: "It's mine, sir."
Also her little "Indeed" to Teal'c after she rescues him from having to do the whole diplomacy thing is too cute for words.
From Lost City:
Sam: But you did pack the Hazmat suits for us. My guess is you knew the condition of the planet and you knew that we would have to go down there.
Jack: Then you know more than I do.
CARTER: No, sir, I don’t. Sit down and take a look...That’s an order.
(It's all about her delivery and the look on her face in that one)
From The Pegasus Project:
McKay: I am just saying …the yield calculations can be extremely tricky if not borderline impossible. You may need me.
Vala: Colonel Carter said as much.
Sam: Ooh…we weren't going to tell him that.
Okay, I could do at least a dozen more, but I really have to go to bed now.
