Quotes
-
Vala Mal Doran : [sarcastically] I apologize for ever doubting your masterful skills at negotiation.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : He's doing the best he can.
Vala Mal Doran : Yeah, that's what terrifies me.
-
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : That is a classified file.
Vala Mal Doran : Priors have been reported on 43 different planets already.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Yeah, that's what the file says.
Vala Mal Doran : Well it just so happens that I have a very good relationship with the people on the one you've designated P8X-412.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Define "relationship."
Vala Mal Doran : They trust me.
Vala Mal Doran : [Mitchell gets up and starts to leave] What? Where are you going?
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : To talk to Landry.
Vala Mal Doran : Why?
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Because anyone who trusts you is obviously in a great deal of danger.
-
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : I thought these people trusted you. Why are we sneaking around avoiding everybody?
Vala Mal Doran : I already told you, they won't recognize me dressed like this. Fortunately I left a couple of spare outfits.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : What is it with her and her wardrobe?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : You know, I think we could probably explain to them...
Vala Mal Doran : It will only take a second. Can a girl have a little privacy?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : No, besides I think I've seen just about everything there is to see.
Vala Mal Doran : [Smiling] Right.
-
Vala Mal Doran : [Speaking with a Goa'uld voice] We want to stop these people from falling victim to the Priors. That's what I'm going to do.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : This is not what I had in mind.
Vala Mal Doran : What your mind may or may not be able to imagine is really none of my concern. Now kindly get out of your god's face.
-
Vala Mal Doran : This was one of the many planets that Qetesh ruled over when I was her host. As you know, a Tok'ra eventually removed the symbiote, but not before her people rebelled and tortured me thinking we were one and the same.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : And they couldn't tell the difference? Why am I not surprised?
-
Vala Mal Doran : You need to tell these people the truth.
Vala Mal Doran : I have a lot of needs, Daniel. But I assure you that is not one of them.
Teal'c : If you do not tell them the truth, we will.
Vala Mal Doran : Yes, and who do you think they are actually going to believe?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Look, commanding these people to obey you and not the Ori is not going to work, especially once that Prior comes back.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : And we do not want to get into a god off. Especially since we know you're not even close.
-
Vala Mal Doran : Don't you care that there could be Priors out there taking advantage of poor innocent people? Luring them into an oppressive religion, or worse, killing them for rejecting it?
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Are you bored of bothering Jackson?
Vala Mal Doran : Hey, you're supposed to be going out on missions through the Stargate. So let's go. Let's rid the galaxy of evildoers. Look, despite what Daniel might think, I really can help. I know how things work out there. I'm physically capable. I'm good with weapons. Not to mention seductively attractive. I'd make a fine asset to any SG team.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : You left out selfish and untrustworthy.
-
Vala Mal Doran : [Aside to Mitchell when seeing the Prior at the trial] That's the one that tried to burn us to death... twice.
-
Vala Mal Doran : I never killed anyone, I never tortured them, I was a wonderful god. Just ask them.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : I think we will.
Vala Mal Doran : Why? You don't believe me?
Dr. Daniel Jackson : That and I'm not totally convinced they're ultimately going to follow your command, not should that be the only reason they don't follow the Priors.
Vala Mal Doran : I am still supposed to be their god. I can't exactly go out there and ask them if they're going to listen to me.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : I wasn't expecting you to.
Vala Mal Doran : What makes you think they're going to tell you the truth? You're supposed to be my faithful servant.
Dr. Daniel Jackson : Then I'll sort of explain we're not so faithful as you like to believe and if necessary I'll also tell them we're plotting to kill you.
Vala Mal Doran : I have heard better plans.
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : I kinda like it.
Vala Mal Doran : Shut up!
-
Vala Mal Doran : Problem is that what the Priors are offering sounds quite good, until you get to the whole prostrating and burning people alive bits.
