[Breaking the fourth wall]
Throughout history, the nexus between man and machine has spawned some of the most dramatic, compelling, and entertaining fiction.
S3 E10The Passage
[Baltar and Three confront the Hybrid]
[Suddenly grabs Baltar's hand] Intelligence! A mind that burns like a fire!
Yes, I'm here.
Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light, in the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow. [Baltar removes his hand from the Hybrid's tank.]
You all right? It just speaks nonsense, doesn't it?
I don't think anything she says is nonsense.
S3 E11Eye of Jupiter
[interrupting Baltar] The less this man says, the better this will go.
Can I make a suggestion that you won't like?
Do you make any other kind?
[In response to the Cylons calling his bluff about nuking the planet.]
Too bad we're bluffing.
Are we?
Mr. Hoshi, order nuclear ground-strike missiles into launch tubes 4-10.
HHoshi
[On the intercom] Aye sir, This is a nuclear mission order...
What are you doing?
Nuking the planet.
S3 E12Rapture
He won't cheat. He's too honorable.
Unlike you.
Yeah, unlike me. I love Sam, I hate Sam. I love Lee, I hate Lee. Gods, I have to cheat just to keep the pieces all nice and neat.
[Dualla coyly gives Starbuck a light "snap out of it" slap across the face]
CChief
[To Baltar before hitting him over the head with a pistol] Welcome home Mr. President.
S3 E13Taking A Break From All Your Worries
[During interrogation about Virtual Six] She chose me. Chose me over all men. Chosen to be seduced. Taken by the hand. Guided between the Light and the Dark. But is she an angel or is she a demon? Is she imaginary or is she real? Is she my own voice or the voice of..
You took the Cylons to the Temple. To the Eye of Jupiter. What did it tell them? What did it tell them about Earth?
I wasn't looking for..
What were you looking for, doctor? What were you looking for?
Their faces but they wouldn't show them to me.
Their faces? Whose faces?
Five. Final Five.
The Final Five.. Cylons?
I thought I might be one of them. I told them I wanted to be one of them.
A Cylon? Why?
All my sins forgiven. A new beginning.
Are you a Cylon, doctor Baltar?
[After a lengthy pause] No..
S3 E14The Woman King
[Helo is accusing Doctor Robert of intentionally letting the Sagitarrons die]
I'm not gonna listen to this, you hear me? That man has his hands full down there.
HHelo
He's singling out Sagitarrons. That doesn't bother you? Doctor, that doesn't bother you?
What exactly is he doing?
HHelo
I don't know, I'm not a doctor.
Well, now, that's the first sensible thing you've said yet.
[Helo is about to go and face Doctor Robert]
You know what's wrong with this ship? You and the Sagitarrons. How you might actually be listening to them.
HHelo
It's my job.
They're dying because they're refusing medication, Karl.
HHelo
You want me to look the other way, is that it? Is that it? Our daughter's fine, that's all that matters?
No.
HHelo
Or is it cause as long as everyone hates the Sagitarrons you forget you are a Cylon for five minutes?
You shut the frak up. Yeah, I want you to look the other way. I have to fight on this ship every day to be accepted.
HHelo
This has nothing to do with you. Okay? You think that's what I am? That's what I've become? That's my defining characteristic, the guy married to a Cylon?
S3 E15A Day in the Life
[Helo and Hot Dog are at a briefing in the ready room. Sitting next to each other, Helo notices Hot Dog scratching near his groin area]
HHelo
What's the matter with you?
Sorry, I've got the weirdest rash.
HHelo
Really? [Helo looks askance at Hot Dog] I hope she was worth it buddy!
[Helo gets up and moves one seat over to the aisle seat. Athena, overhearing the exchange, moves with her husband simultaneously over to her aisle seat directly behind Helo while also giving Hot Dog a humorously wary look and a smile.]
S3 E16Dirty Hands
I've known people from Aerelon. You don't sound anything like them.
I don't sound like I'm from Aerelon?
No.
Well, you know, I take that as a particular compliment. I don't know about you, but I've always founds the Aerelon dialect to be particularly hard on the ears. [affects a Yorkshire accent] Something about the consonants that scrape the back of the throat. [murmurs] Of course, I should know an awful lot about my native tongue; I spent hours on end trying to overcome it. Do you have any idea how hard it is for a ten-year-old boy to change the way he speaks? To unlearn everything he ever learned so that one day, one day there might be the small hope that he might be considered as not comin' from Aerelon? Maybe... I don't know... [switches back to Received Pronunciation.] Caprica. Caprican. Oh, to be Caprican. The seat of politics, culture, art, science, learning. And what was Aerelon, just a drab, ugly rock condemned to be the food basket for the Twelve Worlds. And that's how we were treated: like servants, like laborers, like working class. You know, you'd have fitted right in there, Chief. Lots of men who [switches back to Yorkshire accent] liked to work with their hands and, grab a pint down t'pub, and finish off the evening with a good old-fashioned fight.[switches back to Received Pronunciation] Oh yes, I left Aerelon after my eighteenth birthday. I turned my back on my family, on my heritage. All of them. 'Course it doesn't matter, that. They're all dead now.
S3 E17Maelstrom
VLVirtual Leoben
See, there's nothing so terrible about death, when you finally face it...it's beautiful. You're free now... to become who you really are.
[smiling] You're not Leoben.
VLVirtual Leoben
Never said I was. I'm here to prepare you to pass through the next door. To discover what hovers in the space between life and death.
S3 E18The Son Also Rises
[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.
