Roslin, Apollo and others in “Bastille Day”

Roslin

You have committed me to holding elections within the year.

Madam President, with respect. You are serving out the remainder of President Adar's term. When that term is up, in seven months, the law says, there is an election. I only committed you to obeying the law.

Adama

You sound like some kind of lawyer.

Roslin

This is unacceptable.

I swore an oath. To defend the articles. The articles say there is an election in seven months. Now, if you are telling me we are throwing out the law, then I am not a captain, you are not a commander, and you are not the president. And I don't owe either of you a damned explanation for anything.

Roslin

He's your son.

Adama

He's your advisor.
