Battlestar Galactica (2003) · 302 quotesLet's review, why we're here shall we? Uh, we're supposed to bring the word of "God" to save the people, right? To save humanity from damnation, by bringing the love of "God" these poor, benighted people.
We're here because the majority of the Cylons felt that the slaughter of mankind had been a mistake.
We're here to find a new way to live in peace. As God wants us to live.
And it's been a fun ride so far. But I want to clarify our objectives. If we're bringing the word of "God", it follows that we should employ any means necessary to do so. Any means. Yes, fear is a key article of faith as I understand it, so perhaps it's time to instill a little more fear into the people's hearts and minds. Let's uh, let's execute Baltar.
What? What?!
That's not gonna happen.
Just because he's your favorite toy shouldn't interfere with the larger issues here.
I think that I have co-operated-
Gaius is with me. Anyone that wants to challenge that will have to deal with me.
Well it doesn't matter. If we killed him at the beginning, it might've worked. But now most humans think of him as a traitor, and might actually cheer his death.
Fine, fine. We don't kill Baltar. We round up the leaders of the insurgency and we execute them, publicly. We round up at random, groups off the street and we execute them, publicly. Send a message that the gloves are coming off, the insurgency stops now or else we start reducing the human population to a more mangeable size. I don't know, say less than a thousand.
We need to stop being butchers.
The entire point of coming here was to start a new way of life. To push past the conflict that seperated us from humans for so long.
And what has it gotten us? It's not like they welcomed us with, with, frak it, never mind. You're all living in a fantasy world, consider the irony in that! Ha ha! Delusional machines! What's the universe gonna come up with next?
