	Season 10 / Episode 11: - The Quest (2) Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: [to Vala] Well now you know the hard part about being part of this team is not risking your own life. It's watching your friends take chances with theirs. Congratulations. Now you really are one of us.

	Season 10 / Episode 8: - Memento Mori Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Nothin'. I just think it's funny how you're always losing your pants. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: I'm not always losing my pants. It's happened twice. Twice is not always.

Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Actually, you haven't read 30185. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: 30185. What's that? Dr. Daniel Jackson: We can't tell you. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: What do you mean, you can't tell me? I have the highest security clearance known to mankind. What is 30185? Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: We were sworn to secrecy. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Why even mention it to me if you're not gonna tell me what it is? Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Sorry. Vala Mal Doran: Can you tell me? Dr. Daniel Jackson: Oh yeah, we can tell you. Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Well, it has to do with the time that the gate sent us back to 1969. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well that can't have anything to do with me. I wasn't born until a year later! Dr. Daniel Jackson: Actually, it was nine months before he was born. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: [taken aback] What? Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: You hafta remember, it was the sixties. Dr. Daniel Jackson: C'mon. You have to have known that Jack's always taken an interest in your life. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Jack. O'Neill? Teal'c: Indeed. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Remember when you were chosen for the 302 program even though you thought you weren't going to get in? How about when you were chosen for SG-1? Vala Mal Doran: [Giggles] Wait, are you saying that Jack O'Neill is... Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: -my daddy? Dr. Daniel Jackson: It's all stating to make sense now, isn't it? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Oh, I'm being punk'd, aren't I?
	Season 10 / Episode 5: - Uninvited Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: A lot of activity out here, sir. Major General Hank Landry: I told you, the last thing we need is for this place to turn into the O.K. Corral. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Or a vice-presidential bird hunt.
	Season 10 / Episode 4: - Insiders Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: What do you think, sir? Vala Mal Doran: I say we give it a go. Major General Hank Landry: Remind me to give you a primer on the meaning of the word 'sir.'
	Season 10 / Episode 4: - Insiders Major General Hank Landry: Are you sure you want to bring her along on this one? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Jackson says she'll be useful. Now's her chance to prove it. Major General Hank Landry: But Dr. Jackson isn't here, and it seems to me, he's the only one she ever listens to. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Yeah. Some of the time.
	Season 10 / Episode 4: - Insiders Major General Hank Landry: You don't think you can control her? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: No, I know I can't control her, but that's pretty much par for the course. Sir... Carter and I are the same rank, Teal'c's an alien, Jackson's a civilian. I learned a long time ago I don't control anything. Major General Hank Landry: Who does?
	Season 10 / Episode 4: - Insiders Captain: It's not a competition. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Says you.
	Season 10 / Episode 4: - Insiders Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Chief, got a full count. Two strikes, three Ba'als. Chief Mst Sgt. Walter Harriman: [chuckles] That's-that's clever, sir.
	Season 10 / Episode 4: - Insiders Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: [to Ba'al] Right now, you do not strike me as someone who could intimidate a 10-year-old out of his lunch money, much less run an interstellar empire.
	Season 10 / Episode 3: - The Pegasus Project Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Listen, if McKay gives you a hard time, just... Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Shoot him. Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Also, he's mortally allergic to citrus. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Really? Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [pulls out a lemon] I keep one with me at all times. It's just a comfort to know... it's there. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: That's good intel, thanks. Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Yeah. Dr. Rodney McKay: [laughs] That's a - that's a - that's a good one. We're actually, uh, we're-we're quite close.
	Season 10 / Episode 3: - The Pegasus Project Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Is that thing cool or what? Dr. Rodney McKay: Hmm. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: The black hole. Dr. Rodney McKay: What you're looking at is called the accretion disk. It's matter trapped in the gravity well. You can't actually see the black hole itself. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Which is cool.
	Season 10 / Episode 3: - The Pegasus Project Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Where's McKay? Dr. Rodney McKay: I'm here. One of your crew wouldn't let me finish my sandwich in the corridor. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Oh, the nerve of that crewman, huh?
	Season 10 / Episode 3: - The Pegasus Project Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: You know, Sam, this is not the Rodney McKay I heard stories about. Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: I know. Dr. Rodney McKay: What stories? What have you heard? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well, for starters, that you didn't know the meaning of the word 'impossible'. Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, I certainly know the meaning... Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: And that under threat of impending death, you could work miracles. Dr. Rodney McKay: I suppose Sheppard told you that? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Yes, he did. Dr. Rodney McKay: Yes, well it's all true. But I'm not under the threat of impending death, and I don't have a ... Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Not yet. Keep it up. Dr. Rodney McKay: Well... I'll see what I can come up with then.
	Season 10 / Episode 3: - The Pegasus Project Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well, it's like my grandma used to say, if at first you don't succeed... Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Try a larger thermonuclear reaction? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Her words exactly.
	Season 10 / Episode 1: - Flesh and Blood Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Thank you. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: You're welcome. Yeah, I was gonna say, "no sweat," but, there was definitely sweat involved. In Kvasir's case, I think it was perspiration.
	Season 10 / Episode 1: - Flesh and Blood Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: I'm not saying we should give up. I'll fight to my dying breath. I just think we need a new plan. A damn good one.
	Season 9 / Episode 18: - Arthur's Mantle Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: That was alternate reality, this is alternate dimension. Hell, all I need is a good time travel adventure and I've scored the SG-1 trifecta.
	Season 9 / Episode 17: - The Scourge Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: You know what? Sit here. You cover our six. But stay alert. You'll hear the bugs coming, but the tree ferrets give no warning. French Representative LaPierre: Tree ferrets? Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Yeah, nasty buggers. Swoop down and separate a man's head from his torso before he can blink.
