"This is great."
"I told ya!"
"I can't believe we didn't do this years ago."
"Yes, well, let's not dwell."
"Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?"
"Close enough."

"Danny boy, thanks for bringing the beer."
"No problem, Jack."
"Sir, I was thinking we have a lot more to be thankful for that just the beer."
"I'll be really thankful if someone would toss me a beer. I can't reach it from this chair."
"I was thinking more on a grander scale."
"Carter, you are always thinking on a grander scale than the rest of us."
"Never mind."
"Oh don't give up that easily, Carter. Of what, pray tell, were you thinking we should be thankful?"
"Well, I'm certain Teal'c is thankful that the Jaffa are finally free."
"Indeed, ColonelCarter"
"The Goa'uld are mostly gone."
"Thanks to your replidouble."
"I am very thankful she is gone."
"Thanks to you, Dad, and Selmak. And no, I am not thanking Ba'al!"
"Anubis is gone."
"Thanks to Oma."
"If you say so Danny. What else Carter?"
"We're both thankful Daniel stopped the self destruct."
"That would have blown. Literally. I'm thankful Carter has stopped bugging me about a memorial."
"Hey!"
"Daniel, that's the General's way of saying we're very thankful you are back. And Sir, for the record, I was the first to believe you that Daniel might have ascended."
"Ok, but I refuse to unnecessarily say nice things until I see a body that has been fully autopsied."
"Thanks, Jack."
"You're welcome, Daniel. Anything else, Carter?"
"I'm thankful I didn't make a huge personal mistake."
"We are all thankful about that one."
"Daniel, I thought you liked Pete."
"Umm, can I add something?"
"Nice evasive. Daniel, what are you thankful for?"
"I'm thankful you two are finally together"
"What?"
"We're not."
"You're not? Come on, you don't have to hide it from Teal'c and me."
"We're not together. Yet. But I'm thankful Sam and I have the option."
"Not yet. We're waiting until my transfer to Area 51 is official."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. It's not official until I report a week from Monday."
"I can't believe you two are still waiting. As someone who recently had a near-death experience-"
"A death experience, Daniel. You don't do near-death. You do death, again, and again. We're all getting tired of it."
"Whatever, Jack. I'm getting tired of your unresolved sexual—"
"Daniel! I would be thankful if you would just drop it."
"It was your topic, Sam."
"I would be thankful if Teal'c and Daniel would leave now."
"Me too, Sir."
"Teal'c, could you throw Daniel in the pond, and then throw me a beer? I would be very thankful."
