"It's somehow beautiful." "It's a perfect machine." "Born to dance amongst the stars." "It's bumping into them that has me worried." "Why did you volunteer, Starbuck?" "Well, somebody had to do it." "Did Apollo make you?" "Yes, you certainly have a way of cutting through the felgercarb." "Do you ever take that smouldering weed out of your mouth?" "I had this wonderful speech all prepared." "About this being your last night here, about possibly not seeing another night as beautiful as this one or another girl as beautiful as I am ever again?" "That speech is a little better than the one I had." "Would you mind if I borrowed it on some future occasion?" "Do you mind if we don't spend much more time in the launching bay?" "Can you think of any place more private?" "I can't think of any place private in the whole damn fleet." " What's in there?" " That's the launch tube." "You don't want to go in there." "It's dark and cold and..." "Lord, I'll do anything you ask tomorrow, just don't call an alert tonight." "Colonel, have you seen Lieutenant Starbuck?" "No, I don't think I..." "Wait, I did see him on the monitors earlier." "Before we shut down, he was checking out his ship." " That seems to make sense." " I'm sure he's gone." "Getting a good night's sleep for the mission." "Why don't you do the same?" "That little snake." "The Nova of Madagon is not a nova at all but a star field so bright our cockpits will be sealed to prevent blindness." "We'll navigate by scanner and clear a path with turbo lasers." "Starbuck?" "You're fidgeting like a daggit on a sunspot." "It's my bio-pulse line, sir." "It's a bad time for me to be in a cockpit." "Starbuck's being polite." "He got a steam burn." "I won't ask you how you got it because I need you on this mission." "I didn't choose you to help without a great deal of anguish." "Let me assure you that if we fail, no one will survive." "The rest of our friends must sit in anticipation of our skill." "Or lack thereof." " Ready?" " Ready." "Radiation shield positive." "Launch fighters now." "'Skin temperature read-out 100 and rising.'" "I can't see anything but it's getting hot." "Anybody picking up the field?" " Negative." " 'Mine's gone.'" "'I was afraid of that." "It's too bright.'" "Core systems transferring control to Galactica." "'We will guide you using scanners.'" " What if we miss a mine?" " We'll be the first to know." "Let's go." "'We'll talk you through.' 'Countdown to fire." "'Five, four, three...'" "'Three degrees right." "'Target destroyed." "One target coming up.'" "'It's burning through.'" "'..two, one, fire.' 'Keep firing!" "'" "'And fire." "'Heartbeat, Captain Boomer, read-out 100, other functions normal.'" "It's working, Commander." "They're clearing a path 100 maxims wide." "That is precision flying." " I can't see." "Are we hitting anything?" " Hanged if I know." "'..two, one, fire." "'Heartbeat, Captain Apollo, read-out 99." "'Skin temperature 120 and still rising." "'Skin temperature 130 and rising." " 'Five, four...' - 'It's getting hot.'" "'..two, one, fire." "'Fire." "'Fire." "'Heartbeat, Captain Apollo, read-out 99." "'Skin temperature 135 and slowly levelling off.'" "It's cooling off." "Let's take a look at where we are." "Negative shield, now." "There it is" " Carillon." " I think we're going to make it." " Yee-ha!" "We did it!" "Recall the flight crews." "'The planet Carillon.'" "Landing operations will begin at once." "Prepare to land the mineral ships and the landram parties." "'Our mineral scanners have located 'the approximate site of the old mining expedition." "'Blue Squadron will vector in the ground search teams.'" "Welcome, Baltar." "I have grave news." "A handful of Colonials prevail but we will soon find them." "What of our bargain?" "My colony was to be spared!" "I now alter the bargain." "How can you change one side of a bargain?" "When there is no other side." "You have missed the entire point of the war." "But I have no ambitions against you." "Could you think me so foolish as to trust a man who would see his own race destroyed?" "Not destroyed, subjugated." "Under me." "There can be no survivors." "So long as one human remains alive the alliance is threatened." "Surely you..." "You don't mean me?" "We thank you for your help, Baltar." "Your time is at an end." " No, you can't..." " No, not now, Centurion." "Remove him for public execution." "Vector 63038 to Ground Expedition 2." "'My scanners read life forms beyond here.'" "Either it's some high-energy substance or they left a caretaker operation behind." "'We've got it, 038." "Thanks.'" "I wonder what this looks like in the daytime." "Hey, this is the daytime." "Oh." "Lovely." "'Skywalk 038, can you assist in locating Tylium mine?" "'" "You got it, Captain." "My scanner indicates that you will intersect the mine area in 24 millicentons." "'Affirmative.' 'Sync chronometers.'" "Captain would like a check-in every four millicentons." " 'Understood?" "'" " Affirmative, Jolly." "You are in time-sync now." "038 returning to base." "See you guys in a while." "Good luck." "Boomer..." " Yeah, yeah, what is it now?" " You're not going to believe this." "I don't believe it." " What is it?" " I don't know." " Boy, it sure is pretty." " Yeah." " Sounds friendly." " Yeah." "Don't shoot me!" "What do you want?" "Wait, wait." "Don't be afraid." "Listen..." "Hey, you're from Taura." "I'm a Taurus." "How do you know that?" "The dialect." "Listen, what is this place?" " What are you doing here?" " Me?" "What are you doing here?" "Colonial warriors sneaking around with your weapons drawn!" " Sorry." " This is legal, isn't it?" "Well, how did you get here?" " I came in a skybus." " She's been smoking plant vapour." "Wait, wait, miss!" "Could you tell us something about this bus?" "My travelator, he took care of all of it." "Isn't it fabulous here?" "All this for so little money." "Oh, and I just won over 1,000 cubits." " Isn't that amazing?" " You won those cubits here?" "In here." "Everybody's doing it." "It's incredible." "If it's illegal, you're going to have to fight the whole star system." "I have to go." "I have a moonlight cruise." "Two moons - oh, how can you go wrong?" "How cut off can these people be?" "It's like she hasn't heard the Colonies were destroyed." "And why haven't we heard about this place?" "I suppose you know every gambling chancery in this star system?" "That's right." "If there's a game going on, you'd know about it." "The odds must be incredible." "People are winning a fortune." "Yes, and they're well fed." "Why don't we find out who's in charge of this place and get some food to the fleet?" "The last thing these people may want is a battlestar at their front door." "I've never found a gambling den that didn't depend on military pay vouchers." "Now, Boomer, until we find out who these, er, people are, remember, it only takes one informant and the Cylon war machine will be here." "I want to look around, sit in on a game, see if I can find out what's behind this place." "Your mission, Boxey, is to watch that read-out." "When the counter gets to ten, it means we've found a Tylium deposit." "Yes, sir." "We can't afford to stay in one place for too long." "Why?" "Why'd those people want to hurt us?" "What did we do to them?" "It's not what we did to them, it's what they fear we could do." "They're not like us." "They're machines, created by living creatures a long time ago." "If they're machines, why don't we just turn 'em off?" "Boy, I wish we could." "These machines aren't that simple." "Some machines are so advanced they function better than living creatures." " They're not smarter." " In some ways, they are." "They think a lot faster than we do but they're not as individual." "We can do more of the unexpected." "It's about the only advantage we have." " Why did we make them?" " We didn't." "Another race did." "A race of reptiles called Cylons." "The Cylons found humans were the most practical creatures in this system, so they copied our bodies but they built them bigger and stronger." "They can exchange parts and live forever." "Maybe the Cylons who created these machines could turn them off." "There are no more real Cylons." "They died off thousands of yahrens ago, leaving behind a race of supermachines." "And we still call them Cylons." "Will that happen to us, too?" "Will our machines take over?" "We are very careful not to make our drones that intelligent or independent." "Present company excepted, Muffit." "I think we'd better have this drone checked." "He's been listening awfully closely." " We'd better talk." " Right." "?" "Something's always after you" "?" "It's love ?" "Love, love" "?" "It's love ?" "Love, love" "♪ It's love ♪ Love, love...♪" " They can't try to read our lips in here." " Who?" "Whoever might be up to something here." "Well, Boomer, one thing this place isn't is crooked." " Where'd you get all those cubits?" " Gambling." "You can't lose." "That's what I mean." "You ever been in a chancery where you couldn't lose?" "No, but then I've never been here either." "?" "No matter where you go" "?" "It won't matter what you do" "♪ Cos something's always after you...♪" "We could make a fortune if we put those girls on the star circuit." " I mean big money." "Big money." " Big money?" "Mm!" "Every creature in the universe is out to exterminate us" " and you want to hire a vocal group?" " Mm-hm." "Starbuck, there's something not right about this place." "?" "It's love ?" "Love, love" "?" "It's love ?" "Love, love" "?" "It's love ?" "Love, love" "?" "Love!" "Love!" "♪ Love♪" "I've got to talk to those girls." "Quiet, Muffit." "I see it." "Tylium." "Nice going." "That's a hot reading." "We may be right on top of that old mine." "I better check it out." "OK, Jolly, keep your eyes open." " I'll bring him back." " Hey, Boxey." "Boxey, hold it right here." "I'm going to get him back." "Muffy!" "Muffy!" "Thank you." " For what?" " For saving my son's life." "You're getting things out of proportion." "Anyway, maybe I should thank you." "You don't know me or about Boxey's father." "When you're ready you'll tell me." "Nothing that's gone on before really counts for much." "As far as the human race is concerned we're all starting over." "Muffy!" "Muffy?" "!" "Muffy!" "Muffy?" "Muffy!" "Darn you, daggit!" "Where are you?" "Muffy!" "Muffy?" "!" "Muffy!" "Muffy?" "!" " Any sign of Boxey?" " Afraid not." "What is it?" " What's happening on this planet?" " I don't know." "This is the largest Tylium mine I've seen." "I just want to find Boxey." "'Welcome to Carillon." "'You are impressed?" "'" "Confused is more like it." "We've lost a little boy." "'He is safe." "We found him and brought him here." " 'Would you care to join him?" "'" " Yes, we would." "Mommy!" "Ah..." "Captain." "Good fortune smiles on us." "It's like nothing we dreamed of, Captain." "They have everything we need." "They're happy to share." " Sounds like paradise." " Yeah, it does." "Colonel?" "A message from Sire Uri." "Well, Colonel." " A most optimistic note." " Too optimistic." "Uri has everyone breaking in the bulkheads to get there." "Perhaps in small numbers in rotation." "It isn't going to be that way." "He's authorised visitors' permits to half our population." "Half the population?" "'We've come so far, so quickly, 'there has been little time for reason." "'What is the secret behind the existence of this outpost 'on the outer rim of our star system?" "'There are many such oases for intergalactic travellers, 'but none so far off the known arteries of trade, 'and none so curiously close to a Tylium mine.'" "Fuel has begun to arrive from the Ovion mines but in curiously small quantities." "Now I feel the growing need for extraordinary measures of precaution." "'The ships continue to hover over the planet, 'supported by maintenance crews 'whose spirits are as depleted as their numbers.'" "Everyone seems to have forgotten our flight from the Cylons." "The beauty and wiles of Carillon hold our people spellbound." "Let 'em ride." "Hello, Starbuck." " This is my lucky night." " Just might be." " Well, money isn't everything." " No?" "Have you checked out the accommodations yet?" "Most of my unit is staying down on Carillon tonight." " I'll see what I can arrange." " OK." "Yeah." " Are you going to play, sir?" " I hope so." "Hm?" "Oh!" "Yeah, sure." "Let 'em ride again." "It's my lucky night." "Can't lose." "Is this seat taken?" "Oh, er..." "Well, it's, er..." " Starbuck..." " Yeah." "I came because I think I owe you an apology." "You do?" "This paradise is the perfect opportunity for us to be...open and honest with one another." " Yeah." " I hurt you." "Admit it." "Well..." "You once said I was the only woman you'd had real feelings toward." "Yeah, I, er, may have said that." "You may have said that?" "No." "No, Athena, wait!" "What..." "What I meant to say is that" "I've had to shut all of those feelings out to avoid any more pain than I've already suffered." "Starbuck..." "Oh, no..." "Hello." "Excuse me, you're occupying my space." " Your space?" " Yes, I have good news." " Hm?" " I got us the key to the royal suite." "Why thank you, we do appreciate it." "Er, see, listen, I've got this hot streak going here..." " Oh!" "I see." " Yes, I do, too." "Well, have a good time, you two." "And next time it's office rates, Lieutenant." "Never eaten so much in my entire life." "I'm gonna be as fat as a pig." "Push level three for us, please." "I feel like a total glut, Nanswah." "Nothing fits me any more." "And we've only been on the surface for three..." "Erm..." "I asked you to push the third level." "There, you've missed our lodging." "I did press it." "Something seems to be wrong." "Well, there are no lodgings this far down." "Look there, it seems to be taking us all the way to the bottom." " Something's happening." " Let me at that control." "There, we've stopped." "Thank goodness." "I wonder what's down here." "You wanted to see me?" "I've been sitting here for yahrens, it seems, examining our military intelligence on this Carillon outpost." "I didn't think we had any beyond the exploration for fighter fuel." "That's the disquieting part." "Baltar's people declared the Tylium too minimal for mining." "And our military intelligence is based on that report." "And now we find one of the largest Tylium mines in the star system." "Exactly." "So the mystery is, who's behind such a huge remote mining operation?" "There's no local food source to feed their labourers." "They must be bringing it in from who knows how far?" "They have plenty to share." "Our people are getting obese." "Yes." "And there's another mystery." "There seems to be no connection between the Ovion workers underground and the resort on the surface," "and yet there must be some connection." "Do you suspect a tie-in with the Cylon Empire?" "Where Baltar's involved I suppose I suspect everything." "You've had no reports of anything odd, out of the ordinary?" "No, sir." "The people are having the time of their lives." "It's a circus." "A wonderland." " Shall we?" " Why don't we, my beautiful captain?" "We have here the food and necessities to feed our people." "We have the support of a culture quite content to be subservient to our needs." "We are far away from the Cylons so as not to pose a threat to them." "At least we ought not to pose a threat." "And would not if we destroyed our war machines." " What's this?" " Ah, our young warrior." "Or should I say saviour?" "I was just pointing out that the Cylons destroyed our cities because we were a threat to their order." "Here, isolated from them, we pose no threat." "Or would not, if we disposed of our ships and weapons." "Now, what do you think of my proposal?" "Hope it's the grog." "Well, tonight it might very well be the grog, but there's always tomorrow." "Why should they believe we are now willing to accept that which we have always found unacceptable - to live under Cylon rule?" "Because we would destroy our arms... to prove we are willing to live in peace." " Destroy our only means of defence?" " Or attack." "May I remind my brothers that we did not have conflict with the Cylons until we intervened in their relations with other nations?" "Yes." "Yes, you are right." "We did not come into conflict with the Cylons until we helped our neighbours, whom the Cylons wished to enslave." "And until we helped the Hasaris get back their nation, taken by force by the Cylons." "Correct, but if we mind our own business, there's every reason to believe that the Cylons will leave us alone." "If you've all come here to turn your backs on the principles of our fathers and the Lords of Kobol, from whom all Colonies evolved," "you do so with my utter contempt." "Warriors are always the last to recognise the inevitability of change." "We have a choice." "Life or death." "I submit that an issue this grave should be decided by our people." "Maybe you're right but I'll tell you, the military won't be easy to convince." "How, may I ask, do you propose to present such a delicate matter?" "At a celebration to decorate those three brave young men who led us to safety through the perilous straits of Madagon." "One of them Adama's son, I do believe." "Just the tonic our people need at this moment... some old-fashioned down-to-goodness heroes." " After you." " Thank you." "Party's just getting started." "I'm kind of companied out, thank you." "You'll miss the tribute for the warriors." "I've given them all the tribute they're going to get." "Oh, it missed my level." "Mine, too." "Something seems to be wrong." "We're going all the way down." "Is that allowed?" "I wonder what's down there?" "Help me!" "What are they doing with us?" "OK, 30-70." "You guys split 70% and I'll even pick up the transportation." "I just don't think it will work out." "Why not?" "Look, I can't talk now." " What do you mean?" " We'll have to talk about it later, if you're still around." "Wait, where're you going?" "You're my ticket out of the military." "Starbuck!" "What are you doing?" "The captain's been looking for you." "I agree with you." "Something's going on around here." "It's gonna have to wait." "We're going back to the Galactica." " What for?" " Dress uniforms." "Dress uniforms?" "I'm not getting into any fancy..." "One does not accept the highest military honour, the Gold Cluster, in a battle suit." " The Gold Cluster?" "You're kidding." " We got it." "Commander?" "Commander." "Just like old times, isn't it, Tigh?" "Our ships weren't so fancy but we gave them a good run." "Yes." "You didn't tell anyone we were meeting?" " No." " Good." "Is there some reason why we shouldn't be talking?" "Pick up that ground-crew communicator and climb into the next ship, please." " Climb into the next ship?" " Quickly." "You're patched into my internal comms system." "We are completely isolated." "No one can hear us." "Yes, but why would anyone want to?" "It grieves me to take such precautions on our own battlestar." "Sire Uri's men are expecting me to make a move over his disarmament plan." "Even my private quarters are being monitored." "Now, what I'm about to propose is somewhat risky." "You don't have to go along if you don't want to." "Commander, if you say we should do it, naturally I say we should do it." "What is it we're about to do?" "Tigh, when would be the most devastating time for a Cylon strike?" "Almost any time, with half of our warriors down on..." "During the celebration, when all of our warriors are down on Carillon." "If we were attacked without being able to recall our warriors... we wouldn't have a chance." "A few well-placed Cylon bombs in the heart of this launching bay... and we couldn't get a single fighter into the air." "Then you do think there's more to Carillon than generosity?" "It smells like a trap." "It feels like a trap." "I believe it is a trap." "It is imperative that we get our pilots closer to our ships." "Or perhaps the other way around - get our ships closer to our pilots." "How do we get our ships down to Carillon without council clearance?" "We launch a couple at a time as if they were part of our regular patrol." "The council has ordered all of our warriors to be at the party." "They will be there, in a manner of speaking." "Now, Uri doesn't know all of our warriors on sight." "He'll be counting uniforms, not men." " He'll be counting uniforms?" " Yes." "And I want you to collect all the warrior uniforms you can possibly lay your hands on and fill them with whomever you can find." "Mechanics, kitchen personnel, anyone." "And get them down to that party." " What do I tell them?" " Tell them anything." "Tell them they're on a secret mission - which is the truth." " I'll do my best." " I'm depending upon you, Tigh." "If I'm right..." "Uri won't be the only one who'll be counting uniforms at that party tonight." "I understand." "And I hope you are wrong." "Well, we'll see." "What are you doing, Colonel?" "I didn't mean to startle you." "Can we give you a hand with...?" "If you ever do that again, you're on report, Starbuck!" "Tell your playboy pilots this is not the last inspection I'm going to make." "If I ever find uniforms in this condition, you're in trouble!" "When Commander Adama sees these he's gonna go crazy!" "It's gotta be the pressure." "It's unfair." "Bridge officers never get to go to the surface, while everybody else has a good time." "Bridge officers don't get shot at flying around." " I wouldn't mind trading with them." " I believe you." "I'll mention it to the colonel." "I can't take over for him." "I'm not a colonel." "Neither am I." " So much for guilt." "Let's go to the party." " Right." "Hello, Father." "Apollo." "Well..." "Erm..." "Colonel Tigh wants to be at the celebration, so I offered to relieve him for the night." "It was simply a favour." "I thought you'd like to see your son getting a star cluster." "It's well deserved." "Well deserved." "Precisely why I cannot accept it as anything but another of Councillor Uri's ploys." "How can saluting his rival's son be a ploy?" "I have the feeling that he'll propose destroying our arms at the celebration, hoping that the cascade of emotion will do all the damage before they realise what they've done." " But you can stop him." " I..." "Not any more." "Haven't you heard the talk?" " I got us into this predicament." " No one believes that." "Even if some do, you have to speak out." "You've been more than a father to me." "You've been someone I could look up to with trust and respect." "My ideals rise and fall on your standards, and this isn't you." "What's happening to you?" "Help me to understand." "You'll understand, my son." "In time, you'll understand." "I know that wasn't easy for you, not telling him." " Perhaps you should have." " No." "No, if I told him," "I wouldn't have been able to keep him from my side." "This is my gamble." "If I win, we all win." "But if you're wrong, Uri will destroy you." "I'm not wrong." "The Cylons lured me into their deception once." "Never again." "Guaranteed?" "Easy." "You can't lose." " That's very strange." " What is?" "That man's insignia is Blue Squadron." "I thought I knew everybody in it." "And look at the fit of that uniform." "Apollo, tonight is a night of thanksgiving." "Everyone's dressing up and making do with whatever they have." "He probably hasn't worn that in years." "Besides, the guest of honour looks absolutely delicious." " Hi." " How lovely you look in your uniform." "Oh, how?" "Hey, isn't this something, Boxey?" "Our hosts have been very generous." " I don't like them." " What?" "I said the Ovions wouldn't approve of him bringing Muffit." "Well, we put one over on 'em, didn't we?" "Except for your captain, I deduce from the uniforms" " that most of your warriors are here." " Well, I'm always a big draw." "Muffit, come back here!" "You daggit, come back here!" "Starbuck." "What is it?" "I'm talking to the great and near-great." "When you come down, tell me who that is." "Those three guys." "They sure have lousy tailors." " Starbuck, you should know them." " Why should I know them?" "They're wearing our squadron insignia." "Don't start without me." "Where is the lieutenant going?" " Erm..." "To find the captain." " Excellent." "What's going on?" " Stop those guys!" "Stop 'em!" " What are you...?" " What are you doing, Starbuck?" " Something's going on here." "Those three impostors, I just..." "Listen, can we talk?" "Yeah." "Will you excuse us?" "The lieutenant needs attention." "I'll take Boxey and get some food." "Where is Boxey?" "He's probably watching the acrobats." "They're good." "Don't be long." "You don't want to miss your own coronation." " What's this about impostors?" " I don't know." "I keep running into guys who aren't from our unit but they're wearing our clothes." "That officer in the shuttle." " You spotted one of them?" " Yeah, maybe." "I think we'd better check this out." "I suggest that you find your two friends and tell them that we're going to begin with or without them." "Yes, sir." " Looks deserted." " Everyone's at the party." "No, three impostors are down here." "How many warriors?" "Nearly their full complement of warriors." "Keep the humans entertained until the end." "Then they will be yours in the lower chambers." "This night, we celebrate a most special event in the annals of human experience." " Starbuck, what'd you find?" " They must be at another level." " They're inaccessible to humans." " I wondered about that." "So did I." "I know how to fix that." "Stand back." "You're the gambler, pick a level." "Let's have a look at what's furthest from the guest rooms." " Mm, nice" " Shh." "Mm, you're the leader." "..against any living brother, whether a former friend or foe..." "Muffit!" "..remembered in the era as the dark..." "Me and my big mouth." "At least we know the secret of Carillon." "Let's go." " Wait!" "You go." " What are you talking about?" "We don't know the connection between the casino and the mining." "They could be supplying half the fuel for the Cylon Empire." "We just can't leave it fully operational." "Our entire population's up on top." "Including women and children." "You warn them." "I won't do anything until you've got away." "What can you do by yourself?" "This whole planet is loaded with Tylium." "If I can ignite it with my laser, it'll blow apart." "I can't leave you down here." " You'll never get out alive." " You don't have a choice." "I had to leave Zac behind." "I can't leave you, too." "You go." "I'll set fire to the Tylium." " By the time we finish arguing..." " Somebody's coming." "Muffit!" "Run, Boxey!" " Is it too late to try talking to them?" " I think so." "Oh, my God!" "Some are probably from our ships." "No wonder no one's ever left here to tell about this resort." "The Ovions are living off of them... and selling the Tylium to the Cylons." " There's Muffit!" " Boxey!" "No!" "Muffit!" "Muffit!" "Starbuck!" "Let's go!" "Follow me!" "Report, Centurion." "It is done, Imperious Leader." "Let the attack begin." "By your command, Imperious Leader." "We're doing fine." "Oops." "There's too many!" "Set fire to the Tylium." "That must be why you're a captain!" "Call out the entire garrison." "Scanner's picking up a large body of objects." "Scan for alien forms." "This way, this way!" "Run, Boxey!" "Where you guys been?" "We've been looking all over for you." "Come on!" "When the fires reach hyper-combustion, the whole planet's gonna blow!" "Frack!" "Form scan positive." "Multiple three-passenger vehicles." "Cylon attack craft." "So they spring their trap." "Enemy approaching. 90 microns." "Arm weapons." "..an opportunity to throw down our arms and prove once and for all" "that peace begets peace and love begets love." " And so I..." " Everybody listen to me!" "Move quickly and orderly towards the exits." " That is an order!" " Stay where you are." "I'm in charge here." "Do what he says!" "He's in charge." "Here, Muffit!" "I'm going to save you." "Enemy closing, 70 microns." "Enemy approaching, 55 microns." "Serina, take Boxey." "I'll be back." "Let's go!" "Move it out!" "Take it easy." "Wait!" "We can't leave without Muffit." "We can't leave without Muffit!" "Better go!" "Where are these landrams coming from?" " I don't know." " From Commander Adama." "35 microns and closing." "Why are you in combat dress?" "We didn't go to the party, sir." "You had to go, though, or they'd know they didn't have us all." "Then who were those guys?" "Anybody the Commander could find that could fill a uniform." "Enemy closing, 30 microns." "Recall all warriors from surface." " Stand by to attack." " 25 microns and closing." "What's going on?" " Whole squadron's waiting for orders." " Yahoo!" "15 microns." "Cylon attack force now closing to killer range." "They'll take you in the shuttle." " Let's go!" " Bye!" "Take care of your mom." "I wish he could be my daddy." "Enemy closing in." "Ten microns." "They are not sending out interceptors." "We have taken them completely by surprise." "Closing in, five microns." "Four, three, two, one..." "Positive shield, now!" " 'Starbuck?"

"There's nothing to stop them." "Sir, incoming squadron doesn't match any known Cylon machines." "Aren't they gonna be surprised?" "If we don't stop 'em, we'll have to live on that rock." "That one's for the Atlantia." "Here's one for Zac." "Father, they're ours - all of them." "But how?" "A lot of our boys violated orders and skipped the party." " We must discuss discipline." " Yes, sir." " 'Starbuck?" "'" " Yo." " 'On your tail!" "'" " No problem." "Felgercarb!" " Boomer, give him a hand." " On my way." "Don't take too long, Boomer." "'Thanks for the assist.'"

"'This is Yellow Leader." "We have contact.'" "'Right." "I've got two more squadrons 'requesting to join us - Purple and Orange Squadrons.'" "They're dying for a good fight." "Purple and Orange?" "Er, negative, Blue Leader." "We've got all the manpower we need to knock out one base ship." "We're picking up signals between Purple and Orange Squadrons." "We don't have those squadrons." "Purple and Orange?" "Starbuck and Apollo?" "Lord help them both." "The warriors continue to advance - at least six squadrons." "Recall all raiders to defend base ship." "Our raiders are all destroyed." "All destroyed?" "How?" "We took them by surprise." "Apparently it was not as big a surprise as we had hoped for." "Retreat closer to Carillon, below their scanners."

" No." "To serve your people." "To help us extend the hand of truce." "Truce?" "My predecessor was programmed at a time when our empire was less capable of tolerance."
