- Major General Hank Landry: You don't think you can control her?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: No, I know I can't control her, but that's pretty much par for the course. Sir... Carter and I are the same rank, Teal'c's an alien, Jackson's a civilian. I learned a long time ago I don't control anything.
- Major General Hank Landry: Who does?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Chief, got a full count. Two strikes, three Ba'als.
- Chief Mst Sgt. Walter Harriman: Oh. That's clever, sir.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: He was thinking that one up the whole way home.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Yeah, the whole three seconds.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: 3.2.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Good point.
- Chief Mst Sgt. Walter Harriman: Well, that ties you with SG-12, because they brought in two more about an hour ago.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Damn.
- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: It's not a competition!
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: [to Ba'al] Right now, you do not strike me as someone who could intimidate a 10-year-old out of his lunch money, much less run an interstellar empire.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: What do you think, sir?
- Vala Mal Doran: I say we give it a go.
- Major General Hank Landry: Remind me to give you a primer on the meaning of the word 'sir.'
- Ba'al: What do you want, Qetesh?
- Vala Mal Doran: Is that any way to greet an old friend?
- Ba'al: Is that what we were?
- Vala Mal Doran: I'll admit we had our differences.
- Ba'al: You attacked my fleet at Selenis, crippled my flagship, and killed 10,000 of my best Jaffa.
- Vala Mal Doran: So I did. But it was nothing personal.
- Major General Hank Landry: Are you sure you want to bring her along on this one?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Jackson says she'll be useful. Now's her chance to prove it.
- Major General Hank Landry: But Dr. Jackson isn't here, and it seems to me, he's the only one she ever listens to.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Yeah. Some of the time.
- Ba'al: I am the real Ba'al, I assure you.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: No, no, think about this. How did we meet? Do you think the real Ba'al would let himself be captured like that? Cowering in the bushes like a scared little bunny rabbit?
- [Ba'al's eyes flash]
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: That's better. But I'm still not buying it.
- Ba'al: You're trying to goad me into revealing information.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: No, I'm just calling it like I see it. And right now, you don't strike me as someone who could intimidate a ten year old out of his lunch money, much less run an interstellar empire.
- Ba'al: Why don't you have the guard excuse himself for a moment, and I'll show you just what I am "capable" of?
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: See now I know you're not the real Ba'al. The real Ba'al wouldn't care about the guard.
- Teal'c: You are suggesting that Ba'al attempted to gain control of the High Council in order to gain access to the Ancient device.
- Vala Mal Doran: With the purpose of wiping out all life in the galaxy, except his own little corner, of course.
- Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: That was Anubis's plan.
- Ba'al: I never said it was original.
