[Baltar and Lampkin are discussing the upcoming trial]
Caprica Six. I'm worried about her. She's the key. They can use her to completely destroy me. We need to get to her. We need to know what she's thinking. We need to.. talk to her. Tell her.. Tell her that I love her very much. I am thinking about her a lot.
I can sense that, yes.
[Adama and Apollo argue after the assassination attempt]
What the hell were you doing out there? I gave you an order. To do a job.
Excuse me, I was doing my job.
Yeah, being led around by the nose! That bastard yanked your chain and you jumped.
He wanted files from the Colonial One.
It was the middle of the night.
You assigned me to security.
Yeah. And there was a bomb on that ship and you missed it.
[Apollo details the security policy]
You take a good look at this room. Every time you leave, memorize it. If anything changes, don't touch it. A book moves, shoes in a wrong place, something smells different, you get the frak out. Someone knocks, don't answer the door, don't open the door. Look, you have to do what I say.
If they wanna kill me, they'll find a way. Now, who do I have to bribe to see the Cylon woman?
[Lampkin visits Caprica Six]
Did he ask about me? Gaius?
[removes his sunglasses] He wanted to know if you're well. He wanted you to know that he misses you.. Loves you. Because he can't be here to tell you, he gave me this, a gift to you. [takes out Baltar's pen and gives it to Six] He uses that at the risk of grave reprisal to express his feelings, to put his world into some kind of recognizable order. To be heard. He's kept it hidden because he knows he will not get another. [Caprica Six takes the pen and caresses it] He wants you to have it. Because without you it has no meaning. He wants you to have it because he would do anything, ANYTHING to be with you again.
Well, that's a shame isn't it? [gives back the pen] Since they'll never let me keep it.
You understand that your days are owned and tallied by those people, the ones out there watching us. [points to the glass] I think you realize what's likely to become of you. I couldn't help you if they paid me ten times what they offered me for Baltar. You won't get a trial. Not even a bad one. So I have to ask you, does your love hurt as much as mine?
[Defense attorney Romo Lampkin's letter to Gaius Baltar]
There is no greater ally, no force more powerful, no enemy more resolved, than a son who chooses to step from his father's shadow.
