Admiral William Adama, Private Neward and others in “The Oath”

[Adama and Tigh are escorted to the brig by two Marines]

Admiral William Adama

[to the Marine walking behind him] It's Neward, isn't it?

Private Neward

That's right, sir.

Adama

I thought I remembered you. Marine. You put it on the line when we took New Caprica.

Neward

It got pretty hairy down there-

Private Maldonaldo

Hey! Screw the war stories!

Adama

I remember you too, Maldonaldo. Big mouth. Not much of a soldier. That doesn't matter, because when this is over, there's gonna be a reckoning. And live or die, it's how you act today that's gonna matter. [abruptly stops walking and turns to face Neward] So what's it gonna be, Neward?

Neward

[hesitantly] Admiral, don't do this.

Adama

I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a guy like you run me off my own ship. You want to shoot? Go on. Let's see if you've got a pair.

Neward

I don't want to- [Adama punches him in the face]
