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*

Hammond: Colonel, the United States is not in the business of interfering in other people's affairs.
Jack: Since when, sir?
(snerk!) To:
Hammond: These people's laws in this regard are no different from our own. We don't stop pursuing war criminals because they have a change of heart.
Jack: War criminals.
Hammond: Yes, Colonel, he is. Like it or not, what the Jaffa have done to these people and thousands of other people is a crime. Now Teal'c spent many years serving the Goa'uld doing some damned distasteful things. Surely both of you must realize that this was bound to happen sooner or later.
Jack: General Hammond, I have spent a lot of years in the service of my country, and I have been ordered to do some damned distasteful things. I will not allow them to execute my friend.
______________________________________
Another Jack-Teal'c moment I adore is in season 6, when they're on the Prometheus just after they kill Simmons and close the airlock when Jack straightens Teal'c's collar -- it's just such a perfect 'brother-warrior' moment.
And then, I adore pretty much all the interaction between Jack and Maybourne. ('Jaa-aack!' 'Harry.')
Jack: General, request permission to beat the crap out of this man.
Back to the politics bit, I love this moment in Spirits:
Hammond: I've just talked to the Pentagon. While they're obviously concerned about finding SG-11, they also want to avoid further upsetting the indigenous people.
Sam: Meaning they don't want to risk losing the Trinium.
Hammond: Your secondary objective is to negotiate a mining treat with these people. Obviously, we've started our relations on the wrong foot.
Jack: But that's so rare, sir.
Oh, man. I could go on like this for hours. There's just so many great, great moments. I may be back...
-- Double Jeopardy, anytime he's talking or fighting himself.
-- Secrets (Jacob and Jack are great together):
O'Neill: I retired myself one time. Couldn't stay away.
Jacob Carter: From your analysis of deep space radar telemetry...
O'Neill: Well it's just so damn fascinating.
Jacob Carter: I'm sure it is. Otherwise you wouldn't be receiving the Air Medal.
O'Neill: We have our moments. Uh...will you excuse me? We just don't get out of Cheyenne Mountain nearly enough. I'm gonna go grab some air...outside. General, Captain, General...waiter.
-- Full Circle: "Well, spank me rosy!"
-- Abyss, his interactions with Daniel, his utter despair, his throwing of the shoe... love it.
-- Paradise Lost, the moment he trains the gun on Maybourne, just the look in his eye when he demands that Harry 'drops it'. And of course, this bit:
Teal'c: Are you able to translate any of this, Jonas Quinn?
Jonas: It's not Ancient but it's definitely a language belonging to one of the races of the Ancient alliance.
Col. O'Neill: Nox? Asgard?
Jonas: Furlings.
Col. O'Neill: Oh no, not those guys.
Jonas: What?
Col. O'Neill: Oh I don't know, I just can't imagine cute little furry things making big powerful weapons, that's all.
Jonas: I don't even know what they look like.
Col. O'Neill: Furling. Sounds cute and fuzzy to me.
And now I really, really must go do something less fun and more productive.
