Baltar and Maga in “Baltar's Escape”

You see those prisoners behind you? They are from an alliance which, in this corner of the universe, may be as powerful as my Cylon friends. They are going to be transferred to the Galactica.

And how do you know this?

I have my sources. When the shuttle comes for those prisoners, we will make our break, take the shuttle, and escape.

And what of the Vipers?

I have a plan to deal with them. When we reach the Alliance, I'll be welcomed with open arms. For I know the Galactica, her strengths, her weaknesses, and most important, her Commander, Adama. I'll be treated like a prince. And so will those who are with me.

Your record to date does not exactly inspire confidence.

I had incompetent followers.

We do not follow, Baltar.

Oh, no. No, no. Of course not. We're all comrades... in this together.

Good. When the time comes to escape, we will momentarily die.

Die?!

We do many things to survive... even die.
