Quotes 

• Vala Mal Doran : I hate long goodbyes.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : [quickly]  Okay goodbye.

  Vala Mal Doran : Don't I even get a hug?

  Vala Mal Doran : [Daniel hesitates then hugs Vala. Vala walks towards the Stargate but Daniel grabs her wrist]  Daniel, don't make this harder than it already is.

  [Daniel removes a stolen jewel from her hand] 

  Vala Mal Doran : Oh. Can't blame a girl for trying.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Yeah, I can.

• Vala Mal Doran : [Vala is reading an Earth magazine]  Daniel, do you have one of these "credit cards".

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Yes I do, and no you can't.

• Vala Mal Doran : Daniel, why don't you let me do it?

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : I can do it. Just uh, do me a favor. I need some help.

  Vala Mal Doran : Okay, what?

  Vala Mal Doran : Go to the panel by the rear exit.

  Vala Mal Doran : [Vala goes to the rear of the cargo bay]  Okay, now what?

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Stay there, shut up, and let me finish.

• Vala Mal Doran : Came to see me off? That's sweet.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : Well, we've been through a lot together, and I just wanted to come here myself and make sure you were... thoroughly searched.

• Inago : Vala! You cowardly, backstabbing sorry excuse for a woman. How've you been?

  Vala Mal Doran : Inago. You filthy, double talking slug. Nice to see you too.

  Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Obviously they used to date.

• Vala Mal Doran : How dare you assume that I acquired those bracelets through anything but honest means. I may have a less than perfect reputation...

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : You told me you stole them!

• Vala Mal Doran : Just a word of warning. Tenat and Jup are notoriously unscrupulous traders. They're crafty, devious, and although stupid, under no circumstances are they to be trusted.

  Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : In other words they're going to try to screw us before we screw them.

  Vala Mal Doran : It should be all right as long as you keep your guard up, and we keep focus on what needs to be done. Close the deal, take the ship, and make sure they don't kill me. Certainly not in that order.

• Dr. Daniel Jackson : I'm sorry, I just... Sometimes I just... I forget what you've been through... IF you've actually been through any of that. Are you messing with me?

  Vala Mal Doran : Is it working?

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : G-get out! Go! Get out!... GO!

• Caius : I have to get out of here! I can't take it anymore. The fasting. the chanting. Bathing of the poor. If I have to weave one more prayer basket, I'm gonna kill someone!

  Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Oh my. You're not a real monk.

  Vala Mal Doran : He used to be a smuggler. One of the best I ever knew. Then things got a little too hot for him, and he had to find religion.

  Caius : Well, it was a sweet racket while it lasted. Until the great god Grannus went and got himself executed by his own Jaffa. Since then, the number of pilgrims has been, well, significantly reduced.
