I loved this dialogue from Family Ties:
JACEK
It's no wonder. I don't mind telling you, I'm a little disappointed in this facility. I was expecting more.
[Carter looks around the lab and then nods her head in agreement.]
CARTER
Well, at times, so do we. But the truth is the Stargate Program just doesn't get the support it used to from the people in charge.
JACEK
Why not?
[Carter opens her mouth to respond, but Lee interrupts.]
LEE
Eureka! One down, twelve to go!
[Lee claps his hands in delight and looks at Carter and Jacek before turning back to his own work.]
JACEK
That's too bad. Because after all your Stargate program has accomplished for this network of planets, I would think the decision makers would show it the respect it deserves.
CARTER
(shrugging)
Yeah.
