“Resistance” quotes from Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Colonel Saul Tigh

You're sweating.

It's hot in here.

Tigh

How long have you known that Lieutenant Valerii was planning to assassinate Commander Adama?

I had no idea she was planning anything of the kind.

Tigh

[reaching for a flask in his boot] You were frakking her.

I ended that weeks ago, on your orders-

Tigh

You covered for her, you lied for her...

I admit, I used bad judgment-

Tigh

...you protected her at every turn...

Colonel, I had no idea she was a Cylon! [sees that Tigh clearly disbelieves him] I would like to exercise my Article 21 rights at this time.

Tigh

[chuckles darkly] I'm sure you would. I guess you haven't heard: Cylons don't have rights.

(surprised) Cylon?! Wait a minute-!

Tigh

You know what we do with Cylons, Chief?

I'm not a Cylon!

Tigh

Roslin came up with the execution method.

I'm Galen Tyrol!

Tigh

She put a Cylon out of the airlock.

My father was a priest! My mother was an oracle! I've served on Battlestars since I was eighteen years old! Pegasus, Columbia, Atlantia, Galac-

Tigh

[shouting] Don't talk to me like you're a soldier! You are not a soldier! [more quietly] The old man always had a soft spot for you. Let him decide what to do with you.

Colonel, you've gotta believe me. I'm not a Cylon. I'd never do anything to hurt Adama. I love the old man!

Tigh

That's what your girlfriend said. [to the nearby guard] Get him the hell out of here!

Cally

But I've known the Chief for years. He's no toaster!

Baltar

He was involved with Lieutenant Valerii, who most certainly is a toaster.

That word is racist. I don't like it.

Cally

Sure, he showed some bad judgment getting involved with her, but that doesn't mean he's a toaster! You've got to help him.

Say something, Gaius. Tell her you won't have racial epithets used in your presence.

Baltar

I'm very sorry. I was going to tell the Colonel there's nothing I can do. The Cylon detector I developed doesn't work. Clearly.

Cally

No. You've got to help him.

Your child's gonna be half toaster. How does that make you feel?

Baltar

Nothing would make me happier.

Roslin

Doctor, I need your help, but it's illegal, dangerous, and a violation of your oath as an officer.

You're a lousy salesman.

Didn't see any shiny silver out there. I think we're dealing with the human variety.

Hope so. They're not as tough as mechanicals.

Yeah, they do bleed good, though. You gotta like that.

Baltar

Love is a strange and wonderful thing chief -- you be happy you experienced it all -- even if it was with a machine.
