[Colonel Tigh, Apollo, and Galactica's marines stand off against President Roslin's security team on Colonial One]
Madam President, no one needs to get hurt here.
Then why don't you get off my ship, Colonel?
I am placing you under arrest.
[Roslin does not move]
No... no, we're not doing this.
I'm in command here, Captain!
Colonel, this is wrong.
You're relieved. Fall back! Madam President, I-
[Apollo draws his sidearm and holds it to Tigh's head]
Men, lay down your weapons!
Have you lost your frakkin' mind?
Colonel, tell these marines to fall back!
This is mutiny. You know that.
I do and you can tell my father that I'm listening to my instincts. My instincts tell me that we cannot sacrifice democracy just because the president makes a bad decision.
(to her security) Put your guns down.
Madam... Madam President, stand back.
Put your gun down, Captain. I will not have bloodshed, neither your men nor my people, on the Colonial One. Put your gun down. All of you. Please, put your gun down.
[Apollo lowers his weapon, which Tigh grabs. Two marines escort Apollo out while Tigh turns to face Roslin]
Let's go.
