A dialogue between Daniel and Vala from Stargate SG-1 in the episode Unending
Daniel: I guess at the end, life is too short.
Vala: I agree.
Daniel: What are you doing?
Vala: Something we should have done a long time ago.
Daniel: Don't do that.
Vala: We've been here for three months, Daniel, three months... You do like girls?
Daniel: YES!
Vala: Oh, well... I don't see many other options here, do you? Unless, you really don't find me attractive...
Daniel: Do you really want an honest answer?
Vala: No...
Daniel: No, you started this. Do you want an honest answer?
Vala: No, don't worry about it.
Daniel: Do you believe I could have any kind of serious feelings for you?
Vala: I wasn't suggesting you have serious feelings.
Daniel: Oh, oh! So, what? We sleep together once and then what? We work together! And you know, even saying that part out loud sounds unbelievable. Come on! I can't even imagine what a relationship with you would be like. Yes, you've proven yourself to be trustworthy on a professional level. And for that I'm very proud of you, but on a personal level? Vala! Come on, give me a break! At best you're an emotional, unstable wreck. And I'm not saying I'm much better. I'm not saying I'm much better! There was a time that I thought I would never get over my wife. I mean the idea... of being hurt that way again... But I've finally gotten to a place, finally gotten to a place, where for the first time in a long time I thought I could be close to somebody again. But not in a million years — a million-million years, would I ever possibly consider that person to be you. I mean, we are so completely wrong for each other that its not even funny. And the worst part is, you know that! And this whole flirty, sexual thing you do, that's your way of having a laugh at my expense. So I'm so sorry that I'm not more appreciative. I'm so sorry that you're bored! But don't you pretend it's anything else.
(In her room she'll cry again, and hate him for tonight. She'll be mad at him. They'll be awkward, but eventually they'll go back to being Daniel and Vala. Friends. And she won't let her heart be hurt anymore, but first, she needs to leave.)
Daniel: Don't act like you're hurt.
Vala: Give me a minute.
Daniel: Look at me... You better not be messing with me.

I love that part...I was in complete shock when he went off on her, because I was like, That's not like Daniel! But then they kissed, and everything was better! *sigh*
By the way, did you memorize all that dialogue, or copy it or what? Nice job!
Oh, I have all ten seasons and I just watched that episode and decided that I'd type it out. It helps that I was able to play it over and over; they speak very quickly in that scene!
A while back I had said I felt like Vala in a particular scene, it was this scene - while Daniel is saying why he would NEVER be with someone like her.
