Random quiz while I sneeze

So I was ill over the weekend, went back to work on Monday and Tuesday, felt like shit on Tuesday night (Claire can attest to the horrible noises she could hear down the other end of the phone) and now it's Wednesday and I'm off. Again. My room is covered in snotty tissues and I'm doped up to my eyeballs with cough mixture, aspirin, and this menthol herbal cream thing that Lenin bought me in Bolivia and makes my nose sting.

So... I'm wasting time. Here's a quiz stolen from Cass.

4. I will buy random movies just because they have an actor in I fancy.

Listening to: Babybird "Bad Old Man"

Quote:

Sam: Sir, I wanted to talk to you about...
Jack: Carter
Sam: We haven't heard from him in a week.
Jack: Doesn't mean anything.
Sam: Sir, we know he was captured by Replicators. Chances are he was onboard a replicator ship when it disintegrated.
Jack: All we know for sure is that he's missing.
Sam: Sooner or later...
Jack: Forget it! I'm not falling for it this time!
Sam: Falling for it?
Jack: Yeah. How many times have you thought he was gone and he shows up in one form or another. I'm sorry, but we're not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead.
He looks up into the room and shouts out.
Jack: You hear that? I'm not buying it!
He waits for a response from Daniel, then looks at Sam
Jack: What? He's just waiting for us to say a bunch of nice stuff about him. Next thing you know, he'll come waltzing through that door. Right now. Waltzing. Now.
