Number Three quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

[after meeting Baltar for the first time] What a strange little man.

Caprica, you don't understand. She really needs your help. If we don't turn her around soon, there's talk of boxing her.

Putting her memories in cold storage? You can't be serious.

[sardonically] Well, that's a charming way to deal with emotional problems! One might almost call it inhuman. Oh, that's right, you are!

Is it really worth it Caprica? Is the love of that man really worth possibly losing all of this?

If you had ever experienced love, you wouldn't have to ask.

What would you have us do, Gaius?

Gaius Baltar

Leave. Pack up your centurions, and go. Please. Go.

And then what? What would you do if we really just left you here? You'd live out your lives in peace and never trouble yourselves with thoughts of us again? Or would you raise your children with stories of the Cylon, the mechanical slaves who once did your bidding, only to turn against you? Killers who committed genocide against your race, the occupiers of this city until we just ran away? Would you tell them to tell the story to their children, and to their children's children, and nurse a dream of vengeance down through the years so that one day they could just go out into the stars and hunt the Cylon once more?

Gaius Baltar

Blood for blood ...has to stop one day.

Baltar

I'm a scientist. And as a scientist, I believe if God exists, our knowledge of him is imperfect. Why? Because the stories and myths we have are the products of men, the passage of time. The religion you practice is based on a theory, impossible to prove. Yet you bestow it with absolutes like, "There is no such thing as coincidence."

It's called faith.

Baltar

Absolute belief in God's will means there's a reason for everything. Everything! And yet you can't help ask yourself how God can allow death and destruction. And then despise yourself for asking. But the truth is, if we knew God's will, we'd all be gods, wouldn't we??

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.
