"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."

BRRRRRRINNGGGGG!
"Carter. ... What happened, Siler? If there is a problem with the stargate, can't you take care of it? ... Good. I'd hate to have to break up my vacation already. So why did you call? ... You heard? ... No, I'm not quitting. I'm transferring to Area 51. ... No, it's not a demotion. In a way, it's actually a promotion. ... No I'm not going to turn down the transfer. ... Siler, I got to go. Bye."
"That was weird, Sir."
"What?"
"Siler called because he found out about my transfer."
"And he didn't want you to go."
"You don't sound surprised."
"I'm not. I hope he's someplace safe when he finds out about us."
"I don't understand."
"He has a huge crush on you."
"What?"
"Don't sound surprised. Most of the SGC has a crush on you. Siler just has a tendency of hurting himself. I'd hate for him to have a serious injury because he finds out about our relationship."
"Ha ha. Wait, most of the SGC?"
"Oh yeah."
"You're making that up."
"Nope. Ask Daniel."
"Why don't I know about it?"
"Most are too intimidated by you. Teal'c and I scare off the rest."
"What have you guys been doing?"
"Nothing. I promise. It's just nobody in their right mind would make a move on the girl the leader of SG-1/commander of the base has the hots for."
"But-"
"You can't really think people didn't know how we felt about each other."
"I guess not. What has Teal'c been doing?"
"Nothing. Even if someone didn't know that I've always had a thing for you, no one with half a brain would risk the retaliation from Teal'c if something went wrong when dating you. Personally, I'm scared sometimes too. I just remind myself you would kill me quickly before Teal'c ever got a chance."
"And don't you forget it, Sir."
