Prior-Daniel quotes from Stargate SG-1

And the people shall deliver the wicked, unto your divine judgment, where their sins shall be weighed in balance, with all that is just, and true.

From the smallest seed of doubt springs forth a mighty poisonous tree of evil.

No gun. Hm. Did you bring lethal injection, high voltage, or you're just gonna have them beam me out into space?

Vala

If the Ori are so powerful, why do they need people to spy for them?

The Ori need nothing from us.

Dr. Jackson

[quoting] "It is we who must seek the truth of the universe in order to achieve enlightenment."

Dr. Jackson

[shrugs] Been down this road before.

Origin will guide you on this path, and those who revere its wisdom shall be uplifted. I have come to spread the word to the unbelievers who have been... sheltered, and raised by evil.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[whispering to General Landry] You have no idea how much he sounds like my grandma.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

If you help us out here, I'll guarantee we'll be more receptive to those stories you want to tell. Call it a miracle if you want.

When Hannor Mir fell from the sky and learned to fly on the way down... that was a real miracle.

It makes no difference what you do to me. But know this: The Ori are all-seeing! They are already aware of this... affront to their eminence and shall strike down those who defy them.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

[shrugs] Nothing yet, you?

Dr. Jackson

Drawing a blank. [pause] A little thirsty.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

That doesn't count.

Dr. Jackson

No, it doesn't.

Their movements are not so easily divined. Their ways are unseen and veiled in mystery.

Dr. Jackson

Right, right, they have a "plan". (Mitchell makes the "air quotes" sign.) Don't suppose you want to tell us what that plan is? For example, why did they send you to this galaxy in the first place?

We are beacons on the road to enlightenment.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

No, you are dark-side intergalactic encyclopedia salesmen, but unfortunately, the home office hasn't been quite upfront with you.

Dr. Jackson

Nice work on the metaphor.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Thank You.

Dr. Jackson

For starters: Did you know, the Ori need people to worship them to gain their power?

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

He didn't know...

Dr. Jackson

No, he didn't know that. [to Prior] No, it's true.

[brightly] This is new.

[casual] Yeah, it's always something, isn't it?

I gotta tell you though, not your look.

Jack, you have to believe me.

Why?

"Why." Well because, oh I don't know, the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance?

You know, that old chestnut is getting a little... old.

No, no, that part never gets old. Now, you have to shut down that Supergate, and you have to let me go!

[jokingly] You know I hate being told what to do.

Jack, it's me!

[shouting] What, that's supposed to convince me?! Look at you!

Have I ever let you down? No, don't answer that, have I ever let you down when it really mattered?

You know, there's a bottom line here: Carter doesn't think it can be done.

Yes, it can. A Mk-9 beamed directly behind the gate in the Pegasus galaxy will destroy that gate, the wormhole connection will be broken.

How do you know that?

Hello!? Merlin!

[mockingly] Oh yes. [in "spooky" voice] Merlin!

[frustrated] Jack, I wish I had proof. I wish I had a way to convince you, but I don't. Now this was the only choice I had and I took it. It's a good plan, it-it just happens to hinge on you guys believing in me, having a little faith. Now, I thought you of all people might!

Why!? You of all people should know that, I don't believe anything anybody says, even if I understand what they're talking about!

So... What the hell is going on?

Vala

This and that. You know, the usual. [excitedly] You'll never believe what's happening on One Life to Live!

You know, I really hate to press the issue here, but I do have a deadline.

Vala

Oooh, so do we.

Oh yes I know, before I figure out how to overcome the effects of the anti-Prior device, oooooh. I thought Teal'c believed me!

Vala

Oh, he does.

Jack?

Vala

No, he's on your side too. That... little weasel man, who somehow represents your government...

...Woolsey?

Vala

I-I can't be certain, but... I think he might not like you...

He wants to have me killed, doesn't he?

Vala

Well... I'm not sure how serious he is, he seems quite the prankster to me.

Vala

... Not to worry. If it comes down to it, [leaving]I have a plan.

Oh, you have a plan... Great. What is it?

Vala

Well... when I said that I had a plan, I meant that I have to plan... the plan. So when, o-or rather, if it comes down to it, I will have a plan. I've, uh, cleared my whole afternoon... for planning.

... Daniel?

Jack.

What's up?

Oh, I'm taking the ship.

[looking around] Oh I see that.

Yeah I, I beamed the crew safely to the surface.

Nice for them.

But as you probably figured out by now, I'm going to need you.

You know, I was just thinking how much I missed being needed.

[sighing] Yep, just like old times. Except I'm here against my will, and you look like Marcel Marceau.

Yeah, you know, some things change, but others stay the same.

Very good. Why'd you bother giving me the intel if you were going to bust out anyway?

Well, obviously I'm improvising at this point. I had no idea when or even if I was going to be able to overcome the effects of the anti-Prior device. Time was running out. Adria's gonna notice my absence and become suspicious. So sending the rest of SG-1 to get the device was my only choice at the time.

Then why do this now?

Because I'm afraid the rest of the team won't be able to complete the mission without me.

That, and I wasn't about to let Woolsey freeze me.

That I understand.

Yeah.
