- Apophis: I am worth far more to you than you will admit.
- Jack O'Neill: You tell me what are you worth?
- Apophis: Your people, they are still primitive. They will be destroyed.
- Jack O'Neill: You don't look like you're up to it.
- Apophis: Not me. There is another.
- Jack O'Neill: Yeah? Who?
- Apophis: There is much you would learn from me, Tau'ri.
- [breathes heavily]
- Apophis: But for that knowledge there is a price.
- [O'Neill rolls his eyes]
- Apophis: A new host.
- Jack O'Neill: [raises his eyebrows] A host?
- Apophis: So that I may live. In exchange for all the knowledge of the Goa'uld. The secrets of star travel, our weapons, our power.
- Jack O'Neill: All that...
- Apophis: In time, more.
- Jack O'Neill: [leans down further] Go to hell.
- Apophis: A single human life is worth so much you would risk a world?
- Jack O'Neill: That's right. That's why they call us the good guys.
- [Apophis lies back and exhales]
- Jack O'Neill: [Directed at Fraiser, but still looking at Apophis] Doc, let me know when he dies.
- Jack O'Neill: What do you want?
- Apophis: To live.
- Jack O'Neill: Can't help you there. That's between you and your god. Oh, wait a minute, you *are* your god. That's a problem.
- Apophis: I demand kal mah.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: I'm not really sure, but I think what he's asking for is...
- Teal'c: Sanctuary.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Right.
- Major General George Hammond: Why?
- Jack O'Neill: I think some rival Goa'uld just kicked his ass.
- Jack O'Neill: So what does he really want?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: You heard him yourself. He wants sanctuary.
- Jack O'Neill: I'm not buying that.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: He gambled we would show compassion even to our worst enemy. He was right.
- Jack O'Neill: You think he orchestrated this? Let me tell you something. The only compassion I showed him was by not blowing his head off.
- Teal'c: I have witnessed once powerful Goa'uld enter the service of their conquerors in exchange for life. When Apophis himself was a conqueror it gave him great pleasure to see his enemies so weakened.
- Captain Samantha Carter: But we're a long way from being his conquerors.
- Teal'c: But we are greatly responsible for his downfall.
- Major General George Hammond: He lost an army when you destroyed those two ships in orbit.
- Captain Samantha Carter: Bra'tac did say that seriously weakened his place among the Goa'uld System Lords.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: So his blood is in the water and all the other sharks are having a feeding frenzy.
- Teal'c: And he has come here seeking refuge.
- Jack O'Neill: Well that's tough. I say we beat whatever information we can out of old snake boy, open that gate and toss him back to the sharks.
- Teal'c: Sokar is a Goa'uld of ancient times. He was once ruler of the System Lords but was defeated by an alliance of Goa'uld many centuries ago. Apophis and Ra were among his conquerors.
- Captain Samantha Carter: Where did he go?
- Teal'c: Apophis himself believed him destroyed. Obviously, he was mistaken.
- Jack O'Neill: If he was almost wiped out how bad could he be now? It's rhetorical Teal'c.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: His name is also very old in Earth mythology. He was the most feared deity in ancient Egypt, the original god of death.
- Jack O'Neill: Got anything a little more up to date?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: I don't know what he has been up to lately but according to the Book of the Dead there was a time he ruled all of Earth. His lands around Memphis were covered by darkness and inhabited by serpents.
- Teal'c: Unas. The first host of the Goa'uld.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Well that makes sense. If the Unas were the first ones there had to have been a time when both form of Goa'uld host coexisted, Unas and human. Kind of like Neanderthal and human.
- Jack O'Neill: Which is he?
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: I don't know but his portion of Tuat or "Other World" was filled with lakes of fire where the wicked were thrown into as punishment after torture and mutilation.
- Jack O'Neill: Hell.
- Dr. Daniel Jackson: Yeah, basically he was the original Satan.
- Jack O'Neill: Well isn't that special.
- Gate operator: [Over the PA system] Incoming traveler.
- Jack O'Neill: Speak of the Devil.
