- Vala Mal Doran: Oh, I had a baby. You know, I never thought I'd agree with my father, but now I'm starting to remember about how he used to go on about you nurture them, and then you raise them, and you teach them the best that you can, and then all they do is break your hearts. I always assumed that his experience was just tainted by me.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: What are you talking about?
- Vala Mal Doran: Well, she started of out all sweet and innocent to begin with, and now she's hell-bent on domination of the galaxy.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: What? How old is she?
- Vala Mal Doran: A few hours!
- Vala Mal Doran: And as your mother, you will listen to me, young lady. There will be no leading of these ships and armies on a mass-murdering crusade. Or else.
- Vala Mal Doran: [talking about Adria] Oh, she's been genetically altered. She'll be a fully grown figurehead in a day or so. If she takes after her mother, she'll have a pretty good figure too.
- Daniel: This is bad.
- Vala Mal Doran: You're telling me. Origin is about to become a lot more appealing to the males of this galaxy
- Vala Mal Doran: She wanted me to give her a name
- Daniel: And?
- Vala Mal Doran: Adria. Told her it was my mother's
- Daniel: Not?
- Vala Mal Doran: Step-mother. Witch of a woman.
- Daniel: The more I get to know you, the more I understand.
- Vala Mal Doran: What?
- Daniel: Nothing.
- Major General Hank Landry: You know, if I had salaries they pay those idiot blowhard politicians to put into my budget... I'm sorry, did I say that out loud?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: I'm not saying we should give up. I'll fight to my dying breath. I just think we need a new plan. A damn good one.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: So, we're outmatched in manpower, firepower, and technology. Do we have any sort of battle strategy, or are we just planning on dropping out of hyperspace and getting our asses kicked again?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Unfortunately, right now there is no war. In a war you've got two sides fighting. All we have is a lot of winning by the bad guys.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Thank you.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: You're welcome. Yeah, I was gonna say, "no sweat," but, there was definitely sweat involved. In Kvasir's case, I think it was perspiration.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: [floating in space, over radio to Mitchell] Ah... if you're thinking what I think your thinking, it won't work.
