SCSherman Cottle
[Remarking to Tory, Tyrol, a Number Six and a Number Eight gathered around Anders' bedside] Lot of visitors. Just don't anybody unplug anything!
S4 E18Deadlock
Did you see Ellen and Tigh on the wing of that bird? It's like watching my parents make out.
S4 E19Someone to Watch Over Me
There's this one song that he taught me, it made me feel happy and sad all at the same time.
PPThe Piano Player
The best ones do.
S4 E20Islanded on a Stream of Stars
[weakly, child-like] Thank you.
Thank me? For what?
For the privilege of finally being able to meet my father before I die.
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]
[Bill Adama's speaking to Starbuck]
In other words, it's our destiny to go after her, right? [Starbuck nods] Wrong. I've had it up to here with destiny, prophecy, with God or the Gods. Look where it's left us. The ass end of nowhere; nearly half of our people are gone; Earth, a worthless cinder; and I can't even walk down the halls of my ship without wondering if I'm gonna catch a bullet for getting us into this mess.
Whether you remember that life or not, at least you must understand what we were trying to do. We wanted to end the cycle of war between man and machine.
That was a bust.
Yes, we failed, but we have a second chance now: Hera. Without her our children are going to die off one by one, just like they're dying right now in Cottle's sickbay.
TTigh
I had a child. He died.
You're wrong Saul. You have millions.
...You never let me down, Saul. I can't blame you for...being what you are. Especially since...it includes being the finest officer and friend I've ever had. The ship never let us down. So we're gonna send her off in style.
The old man... Hmph. Ellen was right: if anyone's old around here, it's me. Two thousand years...and counting! And I still got my own teeth. [bares his teeth for Adama to see; chuckles. Adama smiles.] So, we're gonna do this, eh?
Mm-hmm.
She was a grand old lady.
The grandest. [raises his glass] To Galactica. Best ship in the fleet.
[clinks his glass against Adama's in toast] To Galactica.
S4 E21Daybreak Part 1
She's right, Gaius. The end times are approaching. Humanity's final chapters are about to be written. And you - you will be its author.
Spins and turns, angles and curves. The shape of dreams, half remembered. Slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of perfection - a perfect face, perfect lace. Find the perfect world for the end of Kara Thrace. End of line.
[Admiral Adama address everybody on the hangar deck and calls for volunteers to attack the Cylon Colony]
No one should feel obligated to join this mission in any way. This is a decision I have made for myself. If it turns out that there are not enough personnel to crew Galactica, I will lead a Raptor assault with anyone who is willing to join me. Let there be no illusions; this is likely to be a one-way trip! So don't volunteer out of sentiment or emotion. There is a line running down this deck. Volunteers, move to the starboard side; Everyone else, to the port. Make your choice!
You didn't think you were gonna to take off without me Admiral, did you?
Never crossed my mind, Madam President.
S4 E22Daybreak Part 2
[The Galactica is about to jump to The Colony]
Just so there'll be no misunderstandings later... Galactica has seen a lot of history, gone through a lot of battles. This will be her last. She will not fail us if we do not fail her. If we succeed in our mission, Galactica will bring us home. If we don't... it doesn't matter anyway. Action stations!
All ahead, flank speed! In three, two, one... hit it! [Galactica drives forward and rams the Colony]
All the pieces are falling into place.
You will hold the future of Cylons and Humans in your hands.
GBGaius Baltar & Caprica Six
Who will? [to each other] You see them?
[Cavil has just taken Hera hostage]
This thing is the key to my people's survival and I am not leaving without it.
Hera is not a thing. She's a child and she holds the key to humanity's survival as well.
And how do you know that?
I see angels. Angels in this very room. Now I may be mad, but that doesn't mean that I am not right. Because there is another force at work here. There's always has been. It's undeniable. We've all experienced it. Everyone in this room has witnessed events that they can't fathom, let alone explain away by rational means. Puzzles, deciphered in prophecy. Dreams given to a chosen few. Our loved ones dead ... risen. Whether we want to call that God, or Gods, or some sublime inspiration, or a divine force that we can't know or understand, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's here, it exists, and our two destinies are entwined in its force.
If that were true, and that is a big if, how do I know that this force has our best interests in mind? How do you know that God is on your side, Doctor?
I don't. God is not on any one's side. God is a force of nature. Beyond good and evil. Good and evil, we created those. Want to break the cycle? Break the cycle of birth, death, re-birth, destruction, escape, death. That's in our hands. In our hands only. Requires a leap of faith. Requires that we live in hope, not fear.
If I give you this girl, that means the destruction of my people. How does our extinction fit into this picture that you want to believe in?
