Tigh: You'd better get back to your ship, the fleet is about to jump.
D'Anna: [Sighs] No, I'm not going. All of this is just going to happen again, and again, and again... So I'm getting off this merry-go-round. I'm gonna die here with the bones of my ancestors and it beats the hell out of being out there with Cavil. I'm gonna die in the cold and the dark before Cavil catches up with us.
Tigh: I wouldn't count the old man out. He'll find us all.
D'Anna: [Sighs] Don't you ever want to stop fighting it, Colonel? Huh? Don't you just want to stop all this?
Tigh: -And just ride the tide out to sea...

Tom Zarek: [over wireless] This is Tom Zarek, President of the Twelve Colonies. It's over Laura. Saul Tigh was killed attempting to escape. Bill Adama was tried and found guilty of his crimes. A firing squad executed him this morning. It's done, Laura. You want to think about the people of this fleet now, and surrender.
Roslin: [with building fury] No. Not now. Not ever! Do you hear me!? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eye teeth to end you! I swear it. I'm coming for all of you!

Tory: You've been lying. About the President sharing visions with Cylons.
Baltar: That happens to be the God's honest truth.
Tory: Sorry. I can't accept what you've done.
Baltar: What I've done? Wha.. Where's this coming from?
Tory: These rumors you've started. You've seen what they've done to her.
Baltar: You seriously believe that I'm making all this up? I'm not saying that I'm not capable but why would I?

Virtual Six: All the pieces are falling into place.
Virtual Baltar: You will hold the future of Cylons and Humans in your hands.
Gaius Baltar & Caprica Six: Who will? [to each other] You see them?

Virtual Six: Old gods die hard.

Virtual Six: She's right, Gaius. The end times are approaching. Humanity's final chapters are about to be written. And you - you will be its author.

Virtual Six: Yesterday you were facing execution. Today, you're free. Why the long face?
Baltar: Oh, gee, I don't know. From President of the Colonies to this... King of fools. Probably best to be hated by everyone than loved by this lot, doomed to live out the rest of my life in this looney bin. I don't know, that might have something to do with my rather savage mood swings.
Virtual Six: Relax Gaius. Do you think I've brought you this far to let it end here?
Baltar: I need encouragement. A ray of hope about the future. An inkling.
Virtual Six: You've got me. I'm here for you.

[150,000 years later, in present-day New York; Virtual Six and Virtual Baltar are reading a National Geographic Magazine]
Virtual Six: [reading] "At a scientific conference this week at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, the startling announcement was made that archeologists believe they found fossilized remains of a young woman who may actually be Mitochondrial Eve. Mitochondrial Eve is the name scientists have given to the most recent common ancestor for all humans now living on Earth. She lived in what is now Tanzania, over 150,000 years ago."
Virtual Baltar: [Smiles] Along with her Cylon mother, and Human father. [The two walk amongst the crowd, seemingly unnoticed]
Virtual Six: Commercialism, decadence, technology run amok. Remind you of anything?
Virtual Baltar: Take your pick. Kobol. Earth...the real Earth, before this one. Caprica before the fall.
Virtual Six: All of this has happened before.
Virtual Baltar: But the question remains, does all of this have to happen again?
Virtual Six: This time I bet no.
Virtual Baltar: [Stops] You know, I've never known you to play the optimist. Why the change of heart?
Virtual Six: Mathematics. Law of averages. Let a complex system repeat itself long enough and eventually something surprising might occur. That, too, is in God's plan.
Virtual Baltar: [Serious] You know it doesn't like that name.[Six gives Baltar a defiant look] Silly me. Silly, silly me. [The two walk arm-in-arm off into the streets.]
The Plan

[A Hybrid reports about the destruction of the Colonies]
Hybrid: Progress reports arriving. The farms of Aerolon are burning. The beaches of Canceron are burning. The plains of Leonis are burning. The jungles of Scorpia are burning. The pastures of Tauron are burning. The harbors of Picon are burning. The cities of Caprica are burning. The oceans of Aquaria are burning. The courthouses of Libran are burning. The forests of Virgon are burning. The Colonies of Man lie trampled at our feet.

[a recaptured Adama is escorted by Marines to the CIC]
Lt. Felix Gaeta: Welcome back. I had a feeling you wouldn't be on that Raptor.
Admiral William Adama: I care too much for this ship to let it be overrun by rats.
Gaeta: (sarcastically) Right. If only you cared as much about the people on it...
Adama: You have no frakkin' idea-
Gaeta: Well then show me! You want to save some lives? Get on the radio and call Roslin. Tell her to come back and surrender.
Adama: No.
Gaeta: I'll ask you one more time, Admiral.
Adama: "Admiral?" "Admiral?" [reaches up to undo his rank insignia] You're the admiral now. So you call up Roslin. Make her laugh. [tosses his insignia onto the command panel]

[Admiral Adama address everybody on the hangar deck and calls for volunteers to attack the Cylon Colony]
Adama: No one should feel obligated to join this mission in any way. This is a decision I have made for myself. If it turns out that there are not enough personnel to crew Galactica, I will lead a Raptor assault with anyone who is willing to join me. Let there be no illusions; this is likely to be a one-way trip! So don't volunteer out of sentiment or emotion. There is a line running down this deck. Volunteers, move to the starboard side; Everyone else, to the port. Make your choice!

[After a pleasant evening with Lee Adama, Dualla happily looks at herself in a mirror with Gaeta nearby]
Anastasia "Dee" Dualla: What?
Felix Gaeta: You're glowing.
Dee: Am I?
Gaeta: All I can think of is that waste of a planet.
Dee: Felix, please... I just want to hang on to this feeling for as long as I can.
Gaeta: Okay. [hobbles over to stand next to her and indicates a photo of Dee as a little girl] Look at that. Little Ana's got her smile back.
Dee: Sometimes I don't even remember that's me. So long ago... she has no frakking idea what's ahead of her.
Gaeta: Yeah. None of us do.
[He limps out the door. Dee, still smiling and humming to herself, watches him go before pulling out a gun and shooting herself in the head.]

[After learning that the truth about Tigh being a Cylon, Adama is reduced to a sobbing wreck in his son's arms]
Lee Adama: Okay. Dad, Dad, Dad, listen. No one suspected. No one. Not with his record, what he did on New Caprica. His eye, what happened to his wife... [tries to haul his father back to his feet] Come on, let's get up.
William Adama: What have I done? All the people I've sent to die, for what? For what?
Lee: For Earth.
Adama: There is no Earth. It's a frakking joke. There is no Earth.
Lee: Okay, Dad, listen to me. Listen to me! Pull it together.
Adama: I can't.
Lee: Yes you can!
Adama: I can't... I can't kill him. I can't kill the bastard. I can't. I can't.
Lee: Okay, Dad. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. I'll take care of it.

[After realizing he's a Cylon, Tigh hallucinates]
William Adama: Saul. Saul! What the hell is wrong with you?
Saul Tigh: Nothing, Bill. [Tigh pulls out a gun and aims it at Adama.] I've never felt better in my entire life. [Tigh shoots Adama through his right eye.]

[After Galactica jumps away from the doomed Colony]
Saul Tigh: We're mostly here. Engines, life support... There's red lines through her lateral structural members. She's broke her back, she'll never jump again.
Adama: Wherever we are is where we're gonna stay.
Roslin:Where have you taken us, Kara?
[Galactica is shown flying over a gray moon toward Earth--our Earth.]
