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*

I like in Foothold when he's pretending to be evil Jack and Teal'c catches on when Jack does this over-arch
"Oh but you will."
Also when he's giving himself permission to feel "Janet" up because "She's just an alien. She's just an alien."
From WoO:
O'NEILL: I'm telling you, Teal'c. If we don't find a way out of this soon I'm going to lose it.
Lose it…it means go crazy, nuts, insane, bonzo, no longer in possession of one's faculties, three fries short of a happy meal…WACKO!
Um, from Serpent's Lair:
"We have...shuttles." And later "Bad day." And then at the end looking at Earth and...okay, I just like all of them this episode so...
Lost City: (http://www.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/wiki/7.22_%22Lost_City_Part_2%22_Transcript)
DANIEL: Sphere…planet. Label…name.
O'NEILL: Following…still…you…not!
DANIEL: Praclarush taonas. I…I think you wrote the name of the planet we will find the Lost City in the crossword.
O'NEILL: Bit of a jump?
DANIEL: Why else would you do that?
CARTER: The clue for seven down is "celestial body" and he wrote Uma Thurman.
O'NEILL: (smiling) Yes.
Or when he's telling his team that Siler gets his Simpsons vhs tapes.
And as a sweet moment, in Lost City when he has that moment with Teal'c. I mean...there's moments with all of them, but the one with Teal'c breaks my heart, just with the look!
Or...wow, so many to choose.
Oh and of course...magnets.
Jack: Let me tell you something, Carter. You want to erase your mistakes? That's your business. My conscience is clear. I warned everybody, I threw up the red flag and everybody—including you—shut me down.
Sam: I'm asking you to put that behind us.
Jack: You're not happy with the way things turned out? I'm sorry to hear that. Personally, I like things the way they are. No more saving the world, just a nice pond with no pesky fish in it, and the single most pressing issue in my life is whether or not to get a dog… There are a lot of pros and cons to consider.
Sam: Jack. I'm talking about the future of the human race.
Jack: So was I.
I love "Following... you... still... not!" Jenn's icon of that moment makes me smile, every time I see it. And oh, man - all of those. Heh, he's such a gentleman when checking the Janet alien. Well, and he's scared of her. :)
