Hybrid quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Hybrid

Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish though we don't enter until a plate, we're here to experience, evolve the little toe, atrophy, don't ask me how, I'll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you, genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs step wise though the essence is all one, end of line. FTL system check. Diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin, the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes...

Hybrid

Throughout history, the nexus between man and machine has spawned some of the most dramatic, compelling, and entertaining fiction.

At last, they've come for me. I feel their lives, their destinies spilling out before me. The denial of the one true path, played out on a world not their own, will end soon enough. Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening, struggling with the knowledge of their true selves, the pain of revelation bringing new clarity, and in the midst of confusion, he will find her. Enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering. I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin, but in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many, and then they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel. Not an end, but a beginning.

Hybrid

They will not harm their own.

Hybrid

Thus will it come to pass. The Dying Leader will know the truth of the Opera House. The missing Three will give you the Five, who've come from the Home of the Thirteenth. You are the Harbinger of Death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their End. End of line.

Hybrid

Progress reports arriving. The farms of Aerolon are burning. The beaches of Canceron are burning. The plains of Leonis are burning. The jungles of Scorpia are burning. The pastures of Tauron are burning. The harbors of Picon are burning. The cities of Caprica are burning. The oceans of Aquaria are burning. The courthouses of Libran are burning. The forests of Virgon are burning. The Colonies of Man lie trampled at our feet.

Hybrid

[Suddenly grabs Baltar's hand] Intelligence! A mind that burns like a fire!

Baltar

Yes, I'm here.

Hybrid

Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow. [Baltar removes his hand from the Hybrid's tank.]

You all right? It just speaks nonsense, doesn't it?

Baltar

I don't think anything she says is nonsense.

Come in, Major. I've been waiting for you for a long time.

You're what all this is about, aren't you? What are you?

What am I? A man? Or am I a machine? My children believe I am a god.

Are you ... a god?

I have seen things. Your life, Kendra Shaw. The things you have done. Things you felt you had to do. All leading to this moment. You wish to be forgiven, my child. ... Do you wish to be forgiven?

Yes.

Then come up closer. There's something I have to tell you. Come. [Grabs her arm] Kara Thrace will lead the human race to its end.

What?

She is the herald of the apocalypse. The harbinger of death. They must not follow her.

As my own existence comes to a close, only to begin anew, in ways uncertain.

You're scared, aren't you, mother-frakker? You should be.

All this has happened before, and it will happen again...again...again...again...again...again...again...again...again
