"Because I know you, and I know the ending of the second film would drive you crazy until you saw X3, and it isn't out on video yet, nor is it still in theaters, so even if you did go back to Earth and got permission to leave SGC, you still wouldn't be able to see it, which would drive you crazy, which in turn would drive me crazy."

"So you're saying you deprived me of Famke to protect me from myself."

"Exactly."

"Jackass."
