Anders quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Among bright stars, I'm lost. There's a new tide. And all the forgotten faces, all the forgotten children, we seek the great forgotten language...

Spins and turns, angles and curves. The shape of dreams, half remembered. Slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of perfection - a perfect face, perfect lace. Find the perfect world for the end of Kara Thrace. End of line.

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.

Thrace

When I woke up orbiting Earth I just figured it's some crazy dream. I went in following the heavy raider. I mean maybe the Cylons pulled me out of the suit.. Captured me, brainwashed me. On Caprica they experimented on me. I mean did they take pieces of me.. Is it possible that they grew me, another me in a petri dish.. Implanted me with the memories or it with the memories, or.. I don't know.

No, no no no. Hey, no. Kara, no. Listen to me. If you're a Cylon, then you've been one from the beginning.

Thrace

Like Boomer. Spend my entire life thinking I'm one thing..

..And then you wake up one day and discover you're another. Still doesn't change who you really are. Still doesn't change the fact that I love you, no matter what.

Thrace

You are a better person than I am because if I found out that you're a Cylon I'd put a bullet between your eyes.

You know, some of us actually volunteered for this mission.

Thrace

"Some" meaning you. Because that's what this is about, Sam. You know what the deal is, with us, with our marriage? It didn't make much sense to begin with. Makes even less now.

I don't buy that. I don't think you believe a single, frakking word you're saying. You're just scared. (indicates his and Kara's matching arm tattoos) You see that, mhh? You see this? Remember those? You remember when we got 'em? That's what's real, ok. That's part of who we are. That is a part of what you are, whether you will admit it or not.

Thrace

Dumb motherfrakker. I only married you because it was safe and it was easy, Sam. And you were just pathetic enough to go along with it. So get the frak out! [She shoves him out] Sam, get out! Get out! Leave, come on! Get out! [Anders takes her by the arms and holds her. They are almost kissing] I don't want to fight, Sam. I wanna frak. You don't get it, do you? I'm not the same girl you married. All I wanna do right now is frak. Really frak, like it's the end of the world and nothing else matters. So come on, Sam, make me feel something. I dare you. [Anders shoves her away, then gives her a second shove onto the bunk bed]

What do you want from Kara?

Leoben

The same thing I've always wanted. For her to understand her destiny.

That's not good enough.

Leoben

It's good enough for her. What is the most basic article of faith? That this is not all that we are. [Starts laughing] C-Bucs rule.

What did you just say?

Leoben

Forward guard, right? I saw a couple of games. You were good. Yet after all the celebrity and acclaim, what were you? Just another face selling magazines, another piece of scoreboard trivia. You always knew you were destined for more. You were just waiting for your singular moment of clarity.
