Apollo quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

[to Colonel Tigh] I am not fit to wear the uniform...and maybe I never was. Then again, neither are you.

I'm sorry, Kara.

Why are we arguing about this?

I have no idea.

Neither do I! You're the CAG, act like one.

What the hell does that mean?

It means that you're still acting like you're everyone's best friend. We're not friends, you're the CAG. "Be careful out there"? Our job isn't to be careful, it's to shoot Cylons out of the frakking sky! "Good Hunting" is what you say. And now one of your idiot pilots is acting like a child and refusing to take her pills. So she either says 'Yes, sir' and obeys a direct order, or you smack her in the mouth, and you drag her sorry ass down to sickbay, and you MAKE her take those pills.

Well, I'm glad I'm not working for you.

You're damn right you're glad...

So, do I have to smack you on the mouth, Lieutenant?

No sir, I'll take my pills. [Lee holds out the drugs] Oh. Perfect... [She takes the pills, crunching loudly]

Carry on.

[salutes] Yes, sir! [sees Chief Tyrol staring at him] WHAT?

Roslin

You have committed me to holding elections within the year.

Madam President, with respect. You are serving out the remainder of President Adar's term. When that term is up, in seven months, the law says, there is an election. I only committed you to obeying the law.

Adama

You sound like some kind of lawyer.

Roslin

This is unacceptable.

I swore an oath. To defend the articles. The articles say there is an election in seven months. Now, if you are telling me we are throwing out the law, then I am not a captain, you are not a commander, and you are not the president. And I don't owe either of you a damned explanation for anything.

Roslin

He's your son.

Adama

He's your advisor.

Dad, I'll bring it back.

Adama

You better or I'll kick your ass, it's a good lighter.

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.

Adama

You don't lose control.

Thanks.

Adama

No, you've got to lose control, let your instincts take over... That's why you don't win.

Colonel Saul Tigh

Madam President, no one needs to get hurt here.

President Laura Roslin

Then why don't you get off my ship, Colonel?

Tigh

I am placing you under arrest.

No... no, we're not doing this.

Tigh

I'm in command here, Captain!

Colonel, this is wrong.

Tigh

You're relieved. Fall back! Madam President, I-

Men, lay down your weapons!

Tigh

Have you lost your frakkin' mind?

Colonel, tell these marines to fall back!

Tigh

This is mutiny. You know that.

I do and you can tell my father that I'm listening to my instincts. My instincts tell me that we cannot sacrifice democracy just because the president makes a bad decision.

Roslin

(to her security) Put your guns down.

Madam... Madam President, stand back.

Roslin

Put your gun down, Captain. I will not have bloodshed, neither your men nor my people, on the Colonial One. Put your gun down. All of you. Please, put your gun down.

Roslin

Let's go.

Remember, just head away from the sound of gunfire.

Roslin

What about you?

We're heading towards the gunfire.

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.

Tom Zarek

 : We're not entirely defenseless. Some of our ships are armed. We should take steps to arm the others just in case.

Just in case we want to commit suicide. If Galactica wants to take us down there's nothing we can do about it. Nothing. And nobody in this room should be under any illusions on that count.

Biers

You seem to think that your pilots deserve special consideration.

Actually, I do. Like everyone else, my pilots have lost their families, their friends, everyone they ever cared about; but on top of that they're asked to put their lives on the line every single day, for a fleet that seems more interested in what they do wrong than in what they do right. They're not asking for your pity, but they damn well deserve your respect.

Nobody's expecting a miracle.

Maybe that's the problem.

Anastasia Dualla

Attention unknown vessel, this is the Battlestar Galactica. Identify yourself or we will fire upon you.

Felix Gaeta

Range now 1700, sir. [long pause]

This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the ship claiming to be the Galactica. Please respond.

Saul Tigh

Pegasus? How could that be? The entire fleet was destroyed.

[orders Dualla] Give me direct contact. [speaks] Pegasus, this is Galactica actual. Authenticate identity with recognition codes immediately.

Dualla

[sees panel] Sir. I'm receiving Colonial recognition codes. They're authentic.

Admiral Helena Cain

Galactica, this is Pegasus actual, Adama, is that you?

Adama

Cain. What a pleasure to hear your voice.

Cain

[to XO Jack Fisk] Disengage.

Red Team, disengage. Red Team, disengage.

Cain

Commander, I don't know what to say. This is a miracle.

Adama

You took the words right out of my mouth. [orders crew] Step down to Condition One throughout the fleet.

Galactica, Apollo, you are not going to believe what I'm looking at out here. It's like a dream. It is a dream. [laughs and smiles at seeing Battlestar Pegasus and escort fighters]

Tigh

Don't you play "holier than thou" with me. I haven't done anything that most people on this ship haven't done. Including you.

Doesn't make us right, Colonel, just a whole lot of people wrong.
