Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 18: - Serpent's Song

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.

Apophis: But for that knowledge there is a price.

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.

Jack O'Neill: [Directed at Fraiser, but still looking at Apophis] Doc, let me know when he dies.

Season 2 / Episode 18: - Serpent's Song

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.
