Virtual Six quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

I am so proud of you Gaius.

Baltar

Why? 'Cause I've taken a life?

It is what makes you human.

Baltar

Is it? Not conscious thought? Not poetry, or art, or music, literature? Murder. Murder is my heritage...

Cally

But I've known the Chief for years. He's no toaster!

Baltar

He was involved with Lieutenant Valerii, who most certainly is a toaster.

That word is racist. I don't like it.

Cally

Sure, he showed some bad judgment getting involved with her, but that doesn't mean he's a toaster! You've got to help him.

Say something, Gaius. Tell her you won't have racial epithets used in your presence.

Baltar

I'm very sorry. I was going to tell the Colonel there's nothing I can do. The Cylon detector I developed doesn't work. Clearly.

Cally

No. You've got to help him.

Your child's gonna be half toaster. How does that make you feel?

Baltar

Nothing would make me happier.

Baltar

So who or what are you, exactly?

I am an angel of God sent here to protect you. To guide you, to love you.

Baltar

To what end?

To the end of the human race.

Don't make me angry, Gaius.

Adama

You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

Roslin

I've always wanted you.

Baltar

Oh no.

Roslin

What?

Baltar

I'm dreaming, aren't I?

Roslin

Yes, you are. [kisses him]

Look at me. Look at me, Gaius. Do you want me to believe you're worth saving? Do you? Do you? Say it.

Baltar

I want you to believe in me! Don't stop! Don't stop! Please, please don't stop! You have to believe in me! You're all I have left!

Now tell me you believe in me. Tell me you believe in my strength.

Baltar

I believe in you! I believe in you! [D'Anna stops hurting him, totally confused, and he smiles at her/Six dreamily.] I love you with all my heart.

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.

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.

You've got me. I'm here for you.

All the pieces are falling into place.

You will hold the future of Cylons and Humans in your hands.

Who will? [to each other] You see them?

[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."

[Smiles] Along with her Cylon mother, and Human father. [The two walk amongst the crowd, seemingly unnoticed]

Commercialism, decadence, technology run amok. Remind you of anything?

Take your pick. Kobol. Earth...the real Earth, before this one. Caprica before the fall.

All of this has happened before.

But the question remains, does all of this have to happen again?

This time I bet no.

[Stops] You know, I've never known you to play the optimist. Why the change of heart?

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.

[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.]

Gaius Baltar

If there are Cylons aboard this ship, we'll find them.

"We"? You are not on their side, Gaius.

Gaius Baltar

I am not on anybody's side.
