Number Eight quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

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.

[weakly, child-like] Thank you.

Tigh

Thank me? For what?

For the privilege of finally being able to meet my father before I die.

Tigh

You shouldn't be thanking me. I spent most of my life trying to kill your kind.

Too much confusion. [death rattle, the Eight flatlines]
