He's the guy you stole the bracelets from, right?
How dare you assume that I acquired those bracelets through anything but honest means! I may have a less than perfect reputation—
You told me you stole them!
I did?
Yes!
S9 E4The Ties That Bind
[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?
Is it working?
AArlos
I'm not after revenge. The truth is, the bracelets weren't the only thing she took from me. She also stole… my heart.
Excuse me?
AArlos
I remember it as if it were yesterday. Some nights, we would steal away from the city, strip off our clothing, and bathe in the springs of Aragaten. We would chase one another across the mossy hills and then lie naked under Adora's moons and Vala would sometimes—
Okay, that's great, thanks. We got the picture. [to himself] A very vivid, very disturbing picture.
AArlos
Yes. Those were wonderful, carnal times.
[about Vala] She accused the Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee of having a, uh, let's just call it an "insufficient manhood." She's gotta go.
[to Walter] Don't make me promote you.
IInago
Vala! You cowardly, backstabbing sorry excuse for a woman. How've you been?
Inago. You filthy, double talking slug. Nice to see you too.
Obviously they used to date.
We could be partners, and split everything down the middle, sixty-forty.
[Vala is found by Dr. Jackson in his bed claiming to have gone into the wrong room]
Anyhow, since I'm here shall we make the best of it?
No we shalln't.
I can do it. Just uh, do me a favor. I need some help.
Okay, what?
Go to the panel by the rear exit.
Okay, now what?
Stay there, shut up, and let me finish.
Colonel Mitchell. At times you remind me of O'Neill.
Ah, well, I'll take that as a compliment.
As you wish.
S9 E5The Powers That Be
Look, I never killed anyone, I never tortured them, I was a wonderful god. Just ask them!
I think we will.
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.
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.
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.
I have heard better plans!
I kinda like it.
Shut up!
After Mitchell has persuaded the villagers to put Vala on trial.
Thank you! I apologize for ever questioning your masterful skills at negotiation!
He's doing the best he can.
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.
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.
Maybe hoarding knowledge is wrong….or maybe it's not. Maybe, learning something for yourself is part of the journey to enlightenment. But killing someone for not worshiping you, regardless of your power, IS wrong. Very wrong. Knowledge is power, but how you use that power defines whether you are good, or evil.
From the smallest seed of doubt springs forth a mighty poisonous tree of evil.
