Fisk quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Adama

You told me they'd get a fair trial. What kind of a trial could they have possibly had?

Admiral Helena Cain

I assure you I heard them out. I weighed their statements against those of the guards and I took into consideration their service records and commendations. It was a difficult decision, Commander, but I daresay it was a fair one.

Adama

They have the right to have their case heard by a jury.

Cain

I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter.

Adama

[to Tigh] Launch the fighters. [to Cain] You can quote me whatever regulation you'd like. I'm not going to let you execute my men.

Cain

I highly suggest you reconsider that statement, Commander.

Admiral, Galactica is launching Vipers and a Raptor.

Cain

Commander, why are you launching Vipers?

Adama

Please arrange for Chief Tyrol and Lieutenant Agathon to be handed over to my Marines as soon as they arrive.

Cain

I don't take orders from you!

Adama

Call it whatever you like, I'm getting my men.

Cain

You are making such a mistake.

Adama

I'm getting my men.

Cain

Action stations.

Admiral, this will spiral out of control fast.

Cain

Launch the alert Vipers. Adama has taken us over the line. He's left me with no choice but to launch the alert Vipers. Target the main battery for Galactica. And may the Gods have mercy on their souls.

Anastasia Dualla

Attention unknown vessel, this is the Battlestar Galactica. Identify yourself or we will fire upon you.

Felix Gaeta

Range now 1700, sir. [long pause]

This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the ship claiming to be the Galactica. Please respond.

Saul Tigh

Pegasus? How could that be? The entire fleet was destroyed.

[orders Dualla] Give me direct contact. [speaks] Pegasus, this is Galactica actual. Authenticate identity with recognition codes immediately.

Dualla

[sees panel] Sir. I'm receiving Colonial recognition codes. They're authentic.

Admiral Helena Cain

Galactica, this is Pegasus actual, Adama, is that you?

Adama

Cain. What a pleasure to hear your voice.

Cain

[to XO Jack Fisk] Disengage.

Red Team, disengage. Red Team, disengage.

Cain

Commander, I don't know what to say. This is a miracle.

Adama

You took the words right out of my mouth. [orders crew] Step down to Condition One throughout the fleet.

Galactica, Apollo, you are not going to believe what I'm looking at out here. It's like a dream. It is a dream. [laughs and smiles at seeing Battlestar Pegasus and escort fighters]

I don't want your thanks. I owe Lieutenant Thorne my life, as do many people on this ship.

He was trying to rape a prisoner!

You can't "rape" a machine, Lieutenant.
