I jest, of course.
Jack!
I have many, many moments and lines from Jack that I love. Many. But I shall restrain myself, and just give you...
Three firsts:
First season. The Enemy Within, Kawalsky awaiting surgery, and Jack's usual method of coping:
Jack: Listen, I gotta ask you something. It's not easy for me.
Kawalsky: We're friends.
Jack: If you don't make it….. can I have your stereo?
(Ah, Charlie – you know he means "You're my friend and I care about you and don't die and don't worry it'll all be fine, I promise!" It just comes out a bit… wrong.)
---
First season I bought – season 4 (predisposed towards being a Sam/Jack shipper? Moi?). Beneath The Surface, and even with a mindstamp, Jack is essentially… Jack:
Jack/Jonah: My memory’s fine!
Daniel/Carlin: Really?
Jack/Jonah: Yeah!
Daniel/Carlin: What did you do in the mines?
Jack/Jonah: I mined.
Daniel/Carlin: No…what did you do?
Jack/Jonah: I remember shovelling ore into a cart.
Daniel/Carlin: And?
Jack/Jonah: I did that a lot.
(It's the way he says "I mined" that I love most about that. I suspect if they pushed him some more, he might recall pointy hats and the hiho song. Or would he remember the mines from Need, and the days - weeks? - they spent down there?)
---
First episode I watched – Full Alert (yes, an ass-backwards one to start on – it was showing on TV), and Jack finally has the upper hand in dealing with Kinsey:
Kinsey: Who are you calling?
Jack: Local sheriff’s a friend of mine.
Kinsey: I may be disgraced, but I’m not wanted for any crimes.
Jack: Breaking and entering?
Kinsey: Jack ...
Jack: Shh. It’s ringing.
(And then Kinsey pulls the cord out the wall, and Jack pauses for a moment – then takes out his mobile and begins dialling again. Hee! So, so deliberately, gleefully annoying. He's wanted to be like this towards Kinsey for years.)

And one of my favourite moments, in animated pic form.
This week, my darlings, I need Jack to brighten my life. So spam me!
Season 10 spoilers may be in comments. No need to worry about Ark Of Truth spoilers, though. :)
*sits back to see if the record of 99 comments to the Daniel Quotes post - so far the highest number of comments I've had to a post on here - will be surpassed*

Basically any time Jack and Jacob are having a conversation is awesome. I'm thinking of Exodus when Jack is so proud of their mothership and giving Jacob such a hard time.
Jack: "Hey! Don't scuff the walls. (To Jacob) I want this ship back the way we found it." Bwah.
But I also love in Lost City where Jack is asking Weir to let them try and find the Lost City and Kinsey is being a total bastard and Jack just goes totally serious and turns to Weir and demands, "Who are you, really? And why *are* you here?" Those moments when he really betrays his intellect and understanding of power plays...just hot. Lol.
When he's talking to the nurse with the scary needles!
"Listen, *really* jam it in this time, okay?"
snorfle.
I can't stop finding quotes, now. Also from Reckoning pt.1:
Jack: I am so sorry! I was just finishing up a lovely brunch.
[O'Neill slaps his stomach.]
Ba'al: Impudence.
Jack: No, tuna.
...I've clearly been reading too much smutfic.
Ooh, yes, Jack and Jacob. I passed Reckoning pt. 1 recently, and love all their exchanges in that - Jacob, explaining that he's just stolen a reciever thingy to bring to Earth.
Jacob: My relationship with the council is still a little strained.
Jack: It's not going to get any better if you keep stealing stuff.
[Jacob turns to look at Jack, who places his hand on his shoulder.]
Jack: No complaints, I'll take anything I can get. Weapons, receivers, silverware...
And yes. Serious!Jack is just... ooh. That moment with Weir is... *fails at expressing love for that moment in real sentences*
Yes! Jacob has special immunity to Jack!snark, I think; he gets it, but can just let it roll off him when he doesn't feel like responding in kind. And Jack does have some genuine respect for him, and is also perpetually just a little creeped out by the whole "snake in the head" thing. My theory is that these factors mean that he has to work harder at the snark, thus producing especially awesome conversations.
Also, yes: Smart!Serious!Jack = the hotness.
Dooooo eeeeeet. I got to write a big Jack-and-Jacob scene in the WIP (now no longer IP) Of Doom, and it was ridiculous amounts of fun.
