[Vala is nearly in tears after Daniel claims she uses sex as a weapon. He starts to apologize when he suddenly comes to a realization.]

Are you messing with me?

Vala

Is it working?

Vala

Look, I never killed anyone, I never tortured them, I was a wonderful god. Just ask them!

I think we will.

Vala

Why? You don't believe me?

That, and I'm not totally convinced they are ultimately going to follow your command, nor should that be the only reason they don't follow the Priors.

Vala

I am still supposed to be their god, I can't very well go out there and ask them if they are going to listen to me.

I wasn't expecting you to.

Vala

What makes you think they're going to tell you the truth; you're supposed to be my faithful servant.

Then I'll sort of explain that we're not as faithful as you might like to believe, and if necessary I'll also tell them we're plotting to kill you.

Vala

I have heard better plans!

I kinda like it.

Vala

Shut up!

After Mitchell has persuaded the villagers to put Vala on trial.

Vala

Thank you! I apologize for ever questioning your masterful skills at negotiation!

He's doing the best he can.

Vala

That's what terrifies me!

Okay. We have a very limited window of opportunity here. If you expose yourself as a false god, if you tell these people how you fooled them and why, we might be able to make them skeptical about the Prior.

Vala

Or, it could push them towards believing in the Ori as true gods even more.

No, the only chance these people have, the only chance any of us have against the Priors is to show them that we will not accept the Ori as gods. No matter what happens, we must reject them. True enlightenment must begin with the truth.

Vala

The village was run by this complete bear of a man named Seevis, who was both barkeep and administrator which seemed the oddest contradiction. He claimed to be the most pious man in the village. If anyone strayed from the path of righteousness, it was Seevis who made sure you were severely punished for it. But seems to be a lot more leeway for sin in the religion of Origin than one would presume from all the preaching.

So it’s just like my grandma used to say. No point going to confession if you ain’t got nothing to confess.

Vala

Exactly.

You stated you had information of great importance.

Vala

I do, I do. And I'm getting there.

We get the back story. Tomin is a nice guy, Seevis is a butthead. How about you skip ahead a little?

Vala

Okay. Tomin and I got married—

Whoa, married?

Vala

Stay with me. I had no choice. I told you, he was very devout, and there's no way he would have slept with me out of wedlock.

[awkward pause]

Okay, maybe we skipped ahead a little too far.

Vala

Well, I tried to lay it out in order...Ooh, that's a bad choice of words.

Vala

So, this girl in the bar. Her name was Denya, and we struck up a bit of a friendship. By the looks on your faces, I can see you're not surprised I had more in common with the village harlot than I did with any of the ladies from the local knitting circle.

Don't know what you're talking about.

Vala

At least she was honest.

Vala

Isn't there a part of you that's from me?

Of course. You are my mother.

Vala

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!

[Adria remains unmoved]

Vala

Eh, it was worth a try.
