Col. Dave Dixon: Yeah, all-night screaming, projectile vomiting, nuclear diapers... you have no idea. The reason they make them so damn cute is so you don't suffocate them in their sleep.

Airman Simon Wells: Sir, you have four kids.

Col. Dave Dixon: Yeah, why do you think I enjoy my work so much?

Col. Dave Dixon: Don't get me wrong, I love those little buggers to death, but trust me, having four kids makes going through a Stargate facing off against alien bad guys look like nothing.

Col. Dave Dixon: This is relaxing.

Airman Simon Wells: Then why did you have four?

Col. Dave Dixon: Well, one's pretty bad, but you figure you got to have two so the little guy can have a brother or sister, right? Then you have two boys, and the wife says she want a girl so you figure "Hell, three can't be much harder than two", right? What you don't realize is that your brain's fried because you haven't slept. After three, four is no big deal. You're so deep in it that nothing seems to matter any more. It's chaos. You're just trying to make it through each day alive. In the end you spend all the energy you have trying to get them into bed only to lie awake praying they don't get hooked on drugs, hurt, or worse... wind up dead in an alley somewhere.

Airman Simon Wells: Can't wait, sir.

Col. Dave Dixon: Yeah, miracle of birth, my ass. I'll tell you what a miracle is, birth control that works.

Yeah this is from part 1 of Heroes in season 7. I think partly that's the reason I remember this conversation so much, that and the last line is really funny.
