Number Two quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Now, if you were human, you'd be just about ready to start offering up some false information about the location of the nuke. Some tiny thing that might get you a reward and maybe spare you a few minutes of this. But then I keep forgetting, you're not human. You're a machine.

I am more than you could ever imagine. I am God.

[stifles laugh] I'm sorry, you're God? Wow... nice to meet ya. That's good, that's good. We'll give you a couple of minutes for that.

Leoben

It's funny, isn't it? We're all God, Starbuck. All of us. I see the love that binds all living things together.

Love? You don't even know what the word means.

Leoben

I know that God loved you more than all other living creatures and you repaid His divine love with sin, with hate, corruption, evil. So then He decided to create the Cylons.

The gods had nothing to do with it. We created you. Us. It was a stupid, frakked-up decision, and we have paid for it. You slaughtered my entire civilization. That is sin. That is evil. And you are evil.

Leoben

Am I? I see the truths that float past you in the stream.

The humans are never going to allow us to have the Final Five and go our own way.

Are you sure of this?

Not entirely. I'd rather be wrong but we need insurance.

Trust has to begin somewhere.

Not with us. It's our ship. When we jump, we take control of it with the Centurions. We carry out the mission as promised. But when we return, we take hostages. The humans on this ship will stay on this ship until we have the Five. We've changed but the humans haven't. We've come too far to risk everything on their trust.

When I spoke to the Quorum, I could feel it. The contempt.

Then you were right. They're not ready to trust us.

No, I was wrong. We're not ready. We're deceiving them.

For protection. For necessity.

Out of suspicion and fear. Why haven't the Final Five come forward? What if they're watching, judging us by our actions? We're about to resort to violence and coercion. What if they refuse to come with us? We can't do this.

It's too late.

We have to order the Centurions to stand down.

It's too late. They're committed.

Then we have to tell the humans the truth.

No! You can't do that! They'll never trust us again. They already know the coordinates. They'll just go and destroy everything.

Leoben

Go. Stall for time. Talk to Adama. Tell him anything. Anything but the truth. I'll deal with the Centurions.

I'm telling you. She flew a Raider. Learned how to control it from the inside. Nobody taught her how. Kara Thrace plucked that knowledge from the stream...

I don't care if she plucked puppies from God's ass!
