General Hammond: Ah, Jack! Come in. Colonel, you know Colonel Chekov, the Russian envoy to the SGC.
Colonel O'Neill: We've met.
Hammond: Colonel Chekov feels that as a symbol of our joint efforts, a Russian officer should be assigned to join SG-1.
O'Neill: Over my rotting corpse, sir.
Hammond: Colonel?
O'Neill: I'm sorry. Did I say that out loud?
Hammond: I said I would discuss it with you and that I was sure you would give it some careful thought.
O'Neill: And that I will, General, but I'm pretty sure I'll say "bite me."
Hammond: Colonel, would you excuse us?
Chekov: General. [Walks out the room]
O'Neill: [To Chekov] So sorry.

Answer: While the series was undeniably successful, filming it is a long process, taking many months of often long days. Anderson, after several years of doing this, wished to spend more time with his young daughter, who he felt he was neglecting, and requested that his role in the series be scaled back. Ultimately, he decided to leave the main cast altogether and only make occasional guest appearances.
