[President Laura Roslin just saw the irradiated landscape]
It's perfect. We traded one nuked civilization for another.

[Starbuck and Leoben just found a crashed Viper, where she sees a corpse looking like her]
If you've got an explanation for this, now's the time.
I don't have one. I was wrong...about Earth.
Your Hybrid told me something. Said that I was the harbinger of death, that I would lead us all to our end.
She told you that? [Leoben runs away]
Is it true? Is it true? If that's me lying there, then what am I?? What am I?! What am I?
[Roslin sits alone on the floor; she calmly lights one page of a book on fire and begins turning the rest of the pages into the flame one by one. Admiral Adama enters]
We've gotta do something. Morale's going down the toilet. [sees the book] What are you doing? [realizes what the book is] Pythian prophecy. [sits down beside Roslin] Cottle told me that you didn't show up for your Doloxan treatment.
[flatly] That's right.
Do you wanna tell me why?
I didn't feel like it.
You're gonna reschedule.
I don't think so.
Laura, you need your treatments.
No, I don't.
What are you doing? Are you just gonna lie down and quit? You're the one who made me believe in this-
You shouldn't have listened to me. When the Cylons first attacked, you should've held your ground and kept fighting. Because I was wrong. I was wrong about everything. And all those people who listened, and they trusted me, and they followed me, all those people... they're dead. [Adama reaches out to stop her burning the book, but she brushes his hand away] Don't. Stop. Stop. [breaking down] Don't touch me. Just go. [Adama walks out of the room] Burn. Just burn.
[After a pleasant evening with Lee Adama, Dualla happily looks at herself in a mirror with Gaeta nearby]
ADAnastasia "Dee" Dualla
What?
You're glowing.
DDee
Am I?
All I can think of is that waste of a planet.
DDee
Felix, please... I just want to hang on to this feeling for as long as I can.
Okay. [hobbles over to stand next to her and indicates a photo of Dee as a little girl] Look at that. Little Ana's got her smile back.
DDee
Sometimes I don't even remember that's me. So long ago... she has no frakking idea what's ahead of her.
Yeah. None of us do.
[He limps out the door. Dee, still smiling and humming to herself, watches him go before pulling out a gun and shooting herself in the head.]
You'd better get back to your ship, the fleet is about to jump.
[Sighs] No, I'm not going. All of this is just going to happen again, and again, and again... So I'm getting off this merry-go-round. I'm gonna die here with the bones of my ancestors and it beats the hell out of being out there with Cavil. I'm gonna die in the cold and the dark before Cavil catches up with us.
I wouldn't count the old man out. He'll find us all.
[Sighs] Don't you ever want to stop fighting it, Colonel? Huh? Don't you just want to stop all this?
-And just ride the tide out to sea...
