- First Minister Dreylock: Kelowna will accept nothing less than equal representation.
- Eremal: Really? Kelowna is solely responsible for this problem.
- First Minister Dreylock: Need I remind you that the stargate is in our possession?
- Tarthus: For the moment.
- First Minister Dreylock: Is that a threat?
- Tarthus: It's an assurance that when it comes to the survival of our people, we will do whatever is necessary.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: What, so now you want to go to war? My friends are trying to save your world, and you want to destroy it?
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: Oh, save your breath, Daniel!
- [to the Langarans]
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: You folks are done.
- First Minister Dreylock: I don't understand.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: Well, you see, we actually like the Madronans. They're nice people. And we've decided there's no way we'd subject them to the likes of you. Deal's off. You're toast.
- Tarthus: General?
- Major General George Hammond: Colonel O'Neill's right. You can stay until we hear back from Jonas and Major Carter.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill: That's what you get for dicking around.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: [Looking at the Stargate] You miss it?
- Jonas Quinn: Yeah, I do.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Well, judging from what you've got to deal with back on Kelowna, I'm not surprised. I'd take life-threatening danger over one of those council meetings any day of the week.
