Quotes:
O'Neill: "What happened?"
Cassandra: "She said she'd kill me if I told."
O'Neill: "Well, you don't mean...kill you, kill you." Cassandra nods. "No, I doubt that."
Cassandra: "She said she would."
O'Neill: "Cass, Sam loves you. She'd never do anything to hurt you."
Cassandra: "She would now."
O'Neill: "Why?"
Cassandra: "She's a Goa'uld."O'Neill: "We're all going to live...or we're all going to die right here."
Daniel: "What would a Goa'uld be doing in a Nassian man in the first place? I mean, we never noticed any of them acting Goa'uld...ish."
Talia: "Your world is an amazing place."
Daniel: "It can be."Teal'c: "Colonel O'Neill."
O'Neill: "I thought you were helping with the sweep of the base."
Teal'c: "I am on my way. This is difficult."
O'Neill: "Yeah. Yeah, it is."
Teal'c: "Assault the Goa'uld's ego. Make him appear foolish. He may then reveal the things you wish to learn simply to make himself appear more powerful."
O'Neill: "Ah, come on, Teal'c. They're smarter than that."
Teal'c: "I have seen many Goa'uld strategies revealed and certain victories lost because of Goa'uld arrogance. It is the Goa'uld's greatest weakness."
O'Neill: "Yeah."
Teal'c: "Colonel O'Neill. When you speak to her, do not see your friend."
O'Neill: "How do you do that?"O'Neill: "So. You and I've got to have a little talk. You really screwed up here, you know? I mean, you really blew it."
Jolinar: "You are weak."
O'Neill: "Who's behind bars right now?"
Jolinar: "Your tactics will not work on me."
O'Neill: "Not buyin' it, huh?"
Jolinar: "You must let me go."
O'Neill: "Ah...no."
Jolinar: "You really have no idea why this is happening." She sits back down on the bed.
O'Neill: "And...I guess you don't feel like telling me."Jolinar: "Let me go. Let me go through the Stargate. I will find another host and send your friend back to you."
O'Neill: "You can do that? Leave a host without killing them?"
Jolinar: "Yes. It is possible but not easy. I could die, but I promise I will try."
O'Neill: "The Nassian man died when you left him."
Jolinar: "The Nassian man died first that is why I left him. He was beyond my natural abilities to heal."
O'Neill: "What were you doing in him in the first place?"
Jolinar: "Carter's mind would be intact. She would return to you as you knew her before."
O'Neill: "You know I can't trust you."
Jolinar: "I could've killed you and many others when you stopped me from going through the Stargate."
O'Neill: "You didn't want to die yourself."
Jolinar: "They would not have killed me. I am too valuable."
O'Neill: "Which is exactly why we'll never let you go." O'Neill walks away.
Jolinar: "I have done nothing to harm you. But you would not let me go even if you did believe me." Her voice shifts back to Carter's: "Oh, God. He's telling you the truth! Please, Jack!" O'Neill opens the door. "No, Jack, please! Don't leave me! Please! Give me a chance! Don't leave me like this! Please!" The voice returns to the Jolinar's. "What will it take."Teal'c: "You have requested my presence."
Jolinar: "Jaffa, you must convince the humans to let me go."
Teal'c: "They will not let you go."
Jolinar: "They are impressive. The Tauri have become very powerful in the time since the Goa'uld reign here. Certainly the System Lords will not allow this to go unchecked. I can provide the humans with information that can help them defend against attack."
Teal'c: "They are more powerful than you know. Already a Goa'uld attack on Earth has been thwarted."
Jolinar: "Then more powerful assault is already being planned."
Teal'c: "They are not fools. They believe you are here to plant the seed of that destruction."
Jolinar: "Not all Goa'uld are the same. There are a few that oppose the System Lords and their ways. You must have heard of the Tok'ra."
Teal'c: "Every Goa'uld seeks power for his own reason or betrays his own brother to achieve it."
Jolinar: "Some seek power for a greater purpose. Not every Goa'uld is an enemy to the people on this planet. The Tok'ra are real, not matter what Apophis has told you."
Teal'c: "I have yet to meet one."
Jolinar: "You have now. I am Jolinar of Molkshur."Teal'c: "There is an old legend among the Jaffa forbidden to speak of concerning a group of Goa'uld who oppose the ways of the System Lords. This group is called the Tok'ra. This Goa'uld claims to be part of that group."
O'Neill: "Can you be sure he is who he says he is?"
Teal'c: "I cannot."
Jolinar: "Unfortunately we do not carry identification."
O'Neill: "Ok. Let's try to build a little trust here, shall we? One of the Nassians we brought back was very badly burned, but somehow he just got up out of his hospital bed and disappeared. Who is he?"
Jolinar: "Must be the Ashrak."
Teal'c: "It means hunter."
O'Neill: "A Goa'uld?"
Jolinar: "Yes. An assassin of the highest rank who carries out the orders of the System Lords."
O'Neill: "Who's he here to kill?"
Jolinar: "Me."Jolinar: "Daniel Jackson."
Daniel: "Yes."
Jolinar: "You care about Samantha Carter as much as O'Neill and Teal'c?"
Daniel: "Yes. I do."
Jolinar: "Yet this is the first time you have come to see me."
Daniel: "I came to see if you could give us a description of the Ashrak."
Jolinar: "I will know his face only in the moments before he tortures me to death, killing your friend along with me."
Daniel: "Well, there's no way he's getting in here."
Jolinar: "You are not stupid, Daniel, nor am I."
Daniel: "He doesn't even know for sure you're on this planet, let alone in this base."
Jolinar: "He is Goa'uld. He will find me. It's what he does. Letting me go, trusting me, is the only chance of saving your friend Samantha."
Daniel: "Then I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Sam."
Jolinar: "Alive I can be a powerful ally, dead I am useless to you."
Daniel: "Then you're going to have to give us more than empty promises."
Jolinar: "I can give her back to you."
Daniel: "We can't let you go."
Jolinar: "I'm not talking about Samantha, Daniel. I'm talking about Sha're. I know where she is."Jolinar: "Hear this. The days of the Goa'uld Systems Lords are numbered. Tell them I died with hope. My death only feeds the fire that burns strong in the Tok'ra."
Daniel, seeing that rude guy from the hospital: "Hey, I know you." The rude guy (a.k.a. the Ashrak) grabs him and holds a gun to his head. "Jeez."
Ashrak: "Do not try to stop me or I will kill him."Teal'c: "I am sorry, Daniel Jackson." He shoots him with a nasty little zat gun, kills the Ashrak, and comes over by Daniel who is twitching in pain. "Are you injured?"
Daniel: "Dumb question. But thank you. I think."
Teal'c: "You are welcome."
Daniel: "Just don't ever do that again."O'Neill: "You did it, Sam. You won."
Carter: "Wasn't me."
O'Neill: "Oh yes it was. You hung in there, you beat it."
Carter: "The Goa'uld gave its life for me. It saved me."
