Helo quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Symbols matter. Uniforms, flags, banners - even mascots. They're like pieces of your heart that you can see.

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.

So Cally kills Sharon and the old man gives her 30 days in the brig. 30 days for murder.

They don't see it as murder, Helo. That's what I'm trying to tell you. That's what you're not hearing. To him, to the president, to all of them Cylons aren't people. I'm not a person to them. I'm a thing.

I don't want your thanks. I owe Lieutenant Thorne my life, as do many people on this ship.

He was trying to rape a prisoner!

You can't "rape" a machine, Lieutenant.

Well, too many Pilots, not enough birds. Anything to keep me flying, at this point. You want me I'm yours, Boomer.

Uh, no, Boomer was... She was someone else.

Listen up. We need a new call sign for Lieutenant Agathon.

How about "Athena"?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. What was that?

You know, the Goddess of Wisdom and War. Usually accompanied by the Goddess of Victory?

I made a choice to wear a uniform, to be a person.

You were a person before you put on that uniform, okay? You were a person before I fell in love with you. You don't have to prove that.

I have to prove it every day.

I'm not a traitor. I love my people. I love this ship. Besides you, the first thing I want to see on any morning is the lights of that CIC. But I did what I thought was right. If it was a mistake, fine, I can live with that. It's you I can't live without.

I'll always love you, Helo.

I'm not gonna listen to this, you hear me? That man has his hands full down there.

He's singling out Sagitarrons. That doesn't bother you? Doctor, that doesn't bother you?

What exactly is he doing?

I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

Well, now, that's the first sensible thing you've said yet.

You know what's wrong with this ship? You and the Sagitarrons. How you might actually be listening to them.

It's my job.

They're dying because they're refusing medication, Karl.

You want me to look the other way, is that it? Is that it? Our daughter's fine, that's all that matters?

No.

Or is it cause as long as everyone hates the Sagitarrons you forget you are a Cylon for five minutes?

You shut the frak up. Yeah, I want you to look the other way. I have to fight on this ship every day to be accepted.

This has nothing to do with you. Okay? You think that's what I am? That's what I've become? That's my defining characteristic, the guy married to a Cylon?

What's the matter with you?

Hot Dog

Sorry, I've got the weirdest rash.

Really? [Helo looks askance at Hot Dog] I hope she was worth it buddy!

Gaeta

Sir, the Cylon strike force has just turned back to their ships. Baseships are spinning up.

Tigh

They're pulling out.

Adama

I'd do the same damn thing before they change their mind. Helo, have our fighters cover our withdrawal.

Yes, sir.

Tigh

They had us. Game over. Why the hell did they let us go?

Maybe something's changed.

Roslin

Imagine, once they're gone they can't come back. Mortal enemies.

Before we blow the Hub we need to get a team in, to unbox D'Anna.

Tigh

Well no, maybe we just don't. Maybe we just forget the godsdamn Boxing Facility.

Adama

Lie to the rebels?

Tigh

Well, they're lying to us!

Athena tells me the upgrades should...triple the Fleet's jump capacity.

Absolutely. And that's conservative. Their technology-our technology, is way ahead of ours. Yours.

Tigh

Maybe you'd like a chart to keep it all straight?
