Quotes 

• Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : So, what's the deal with the accent, or in your father's case, the lack thereof?

  Vala Mal Doran : Well, the accent, like most of my other good qualities, I got from my mother, my charm, my wit, my good looks.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : What'd you get from your dad?

  Vala Mal Doran : Some minor food allergies.

• Jacek : I suppose, for the benefit of your friends there, you're gonna wanna list all the reasons why I was such a bad father.

  Vala Mal Doran : Oh, I wish I could, but a wormhole can only be maintained for 38 minutes.

• Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : [Carter and Vala are carrying shopping bags]  So, what is this, girls' day out?

  Vala Mal Doran : Well, yes, if I'm going to integrate into Earth society, we thought it was very important that I immerse myself in the local cultural offerings.

  Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell : Uh, and by "cultural offerings", you mean...

  Lt. Col. Samantha Carter : Pedicures, mochaccinos, and Victoria's Secret.

• Vala Mal Doran : [On giving sanctuary to Jacek, Vala's father]  General, you're making a terrible mistake. Uh, with all due respect, it's not too late to change your mind.

  Major General Hank Landry : I made a deal. I'm not going back on my word.

  Vala Mal Doran : Then might I suggest a more liberal interpretation of the agreement? For instance, the word "sanctuary" could mean anything from accommodations in an idyllic tropical setting to say... a lifetime's incarceration in one of this planet's more unpleasant penal facilities.

• Jacek : For once in the last 20 years, could you call me "Dad"?

  Vala Mal Doran : You haven't earned that right yet.

• Vala Mal Doran : You didn't trust him, but you talked me into coming here anyway.

  Dr. Daniel Jackson : He's not my father.
