Starbuck quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

You have been selected as Caprica's delegate to the Quorum of Twelve.

Baltar

Me? Is this some kind of joke?

Guess you got the super-genius vote. No accounting for taste.

Congratulations, Doctor!

Baltar

Thank you, um...politics is the only thing more boring than blood samples. All those interminable speeches, all that dreary pomp...!

Parties full of young women, drawn to men of power.

Baltar

...but when the people call, you must serve.

Adama

[to Kara] Go ahead.

I believed you. Believed in Earth.

Adama

What are you doing, Starbuck?

Bringing home the cat, sir.

Adama

We can talk about this.

No, I don't think so.

Adama

I want you to remember one thing. I do not regret anything that I did. Be sure that whatever you're going to do, you don't regret it later. Do you understand me?

I guess we'll find out. [Executes a FTL jump to Caprica]

Galactica, Apollo. Starbuck has jumped away. Repeat, Starbuck has jumped away.

Tigh

She wasn't scheduled for a jump test! Where the hell did she go?

Adama

Home.

Her consciousness is being downloaded into another body right now. And when she wakes up, she'll tell them exactly where we are.

She's right. We can't stay here.

She's right, huh? Sharon the Cylon is right. Let's all just listen to Sharon the Cylon, do whatever she says, 'cause that's a good idea.

It's not exactly what I expected. I thought I'd be stepping over decaying corpses in the streets.

Yeah, we saw a few bodies here and there. Not much though. Sharon said..[Starbuck glares at him.] Cylon Sharon said they had troops picking up the bodies transporting them to mass incinerators.

Your girlfriend's from a lovely family. Good people, great values.

Didn't see any shiny silver out there. I think we're dealing with the human variety.

Hope so. They're not as tough as mechanicals.

Yeah, they do bleed good, though. You gotta like that.

Hmm. It must have been hard, being back on Caprica. Being home. Probably saw some tough things back there. Anyway, tomorrow this whole thing is gonna end, one way or another. We find the tomb or we don't. We find a way to earth or we don't. I just want you to know, Kara, that I am your friend. I love you. If there is anything you wanna talk about, anything you wanna get off your chest then... I am here for you. [Starbuck starts throwing a ball towards the wall once more]

Anyway... whenever you wanna talk, just let me know. [walks away]

What was that middle part again?

Hm? What do you mean?

Did you say you love me?

[laughs] Well... ahm...

Lee Adama loves me.

No, all I meant was-

No seriously! Very sweet. You love me! [Apollo walks away] No, you love me. You can't take it back. There are no take backs.

You're dreaming it Kara.

You love me.

You're dreaming it.

You love me.

Dreamer... [disappears around the corner]

Hmhm... okay.

Adama

I thought we were in the Tomb of Athena.

I think that was just the lobby.

It is funny. You know the President says that we're saving humanity for a bright, shiny future o­n Earth. That you and I are never gonna see. We're not. Because we go out over and over again until someday, some metal motherfrakker is gonna catch us o­n a bad day and just blow us away.

Bright, shiny futures are overrated anyway.

What do you want to do now, Captain?

The same thing we always do. Fight them until we can't.

Tigh

All right, this dance is over. Get your booze and your dog tags and let's get out of here.

So what, you're just gonna call it?

Tigh

Not enough excitement for o­ne night for you, Captain?

[to Apollo, as he leaves] Hey. Hey! Where the frak do you think you're going?

It's over, Kara.

So what? You have the guts to try and frak another man's woman but not to fight o­ne? I wonder if Dee knew what she was getting. Think she would have settled for sloppy seconds? [Apollo punches her in the face.]Truth stings, don't it?

You want a fight, Captain. You got it.

Check it out. It's a great place for a house.

So you're really gonna give up flying.

Ah, flying's gonna suck now anyway. Lots of training, endless CAPs. The war's over. So's all the good stuff.

Gimme a tour of the future life of Kara Anders.

I'm not getting married.

Well, then - then what's the point, Kara? I mean, you love him, right?

Where are we going with this, Lee?

Well, now, that's the question, isn't it- where are we going? I mean, what if this- this is it? The rest of your life, Kara. Is this how you want to spend it? Is this who you want to spend it with?

What's going o­n?

Dualla

What's it look like?

Looks like they're trying to kill each other.

Dualla

That's o­ne perspective.

[laughs] Well, that makes things more complicated.

Yeah.

What are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do? We accept it. Tomorrow, I tell Dee, you tell Sam.

Just like that?

Just like that.

I don't know.

Yeah, we tell them how we feel. We shout it to the skies.

Yeah, right. Mm-hmm.

Well, you... You don't think I will?

Mm-mm. [giggles]

[Stands up] MY NAME IS LEE ADAMA, AND I LOVE KARA THRACE!!

[laughing] Calm down!

Well, it's not like anybody'll hear. We're in your cabin in the forest, right?

Ah. [giggles]

I LOVE KARA THRACE! AND I DON'T CARE WHO FRAKKING KNOWS!

Oh, you're crazy. Get down.

Well, come o­n. I'm not gonna stop until you get up and do it too.

I can't.

I'm gonna- Okay, here we go again. Lee Adama...

Okay, shh! [She stands] Okay. Ka - [gasps] KARA THRACE LOVES LEE ADAMA! [They kiss. Starbuck stops smiling and looks serious.]

Hey, man. Did you hear the news? We're hitched. We got married. Can you believe it?

No. No, I can't believe it.

Yeah. No, it was crazy. She comes down, and she wakes me up. She pops the question, she drags me down to the priest, and, bang, like that, we're married.

So it was your idea.

Yeah. It was my idea.

Do you guys...Do you guys want a minute to, uh, you know, talk?

Congratulations, Sam.

Yeah.

And good luck. You're gonna need it.

I missed you.

I missed you too. I missed you too.

Can I make a suggestion that you won't like?

Do you make any other kind?

He won't cheat. He's too honorable.

Dualla

Unlike you.

Yeah, unlike me. I love Sam, I hate Sam. I love Lee, I hate Lee. Gods, I have to cheat just to keep the pieces all nice and neat.

Hi Lee.

Lee

Kara?

[laughs] Don't freak out, it really is me. It's gonna be okay, I've been to Earth. I know where it is, and I'm gonna take us there.
