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*

And I loved the rest of the episode, too, so much. But for the Jack moment, there is the "You've lost a few pounds" (to invisible Daniel.) Daniel'e reply, via Nick "Jack, don't be an ass." has Jack instantly believing Daniel really is there. So true to character for both of them, as well as being quite amusing.
I do love Jack, so much (oh, I also love the rest of his team, but Jack!!! Best of a very good bunch).
