Battlestar Galactica (2003) Season 3 quotes

Admiral Adama

You did it. You brought them home Saul.

Colonel Tigh

[holding back his tears] Not all of them.

Admiral Adama

[to a crewman at a terminal] Pass up the cord! Connect the other side right away!

We've lost maneuvering thrusters!

Can't take any more hits to port or we're looking at explosive decompression, sections 36 to 48!

Admiral Adama

Jump drives? [Helo grimly shakes his head and sadly lowers his gaze to the floor] Then that's it. It's been an honor.

Don't make me angry, Gaius.

Adama

You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

Roslin

I've always wanted you.

Baltar

Oh no.

Roslin

What?

Baltar

I'm dreaming, aren't I?

Roslin

Yes, you are. [kisses him]

You're right Felix, you're a frakking hero.

Tigh

[shouting at Gaeta] Hey! Look at me! As long as you're here, maybe you can help me out. I'm missing something. I lost it in detention. Since you're so buddy-buddy with the Cylons, maybe you know where it is. How about it? Do you know where my eye is?

Tigh

Everyone likes Gaeta so let's let him off the hook. Let's just look the other way on this one. Well, a lot of good people had to pay the price for what they did. Choices they made on New Caprica. Like my wife. [jury members are surprised] That's right. Ellen collaborated, gave the Cylons information on the Resistance and she died for it. Because that's the price of collaborating with the enemy. And I liked her a lot more than I like Gaeta.

Baltar

[to Caprica Six, as she's leaving to decide Baltar's fate on the basestar] You need me! I need you, too! [Another pause, then talking to himself] I should have said that first.

Tigh

You got to be kidding me. Who gave this man permission to enter the CIC?

Admiral's orders sir. [walks up to Tigh] Communications took some serious hits during the rescue and Mr. Gaeta's offered to help with repairs.

Tigh

Well isn't that nice. a man can turn his coat, collaborate with the enemy, [as everybody stops working] contribute to the deaths of thousands, but the old man needs his phones fixed and suddenly all is forgiven.

The Cylons find us, we're gonna need every hand we've got.

Tigh

[to Helo] The Cylons found us, Mr. Agathon. Your friend Gaeta was on the welcoming committee. [shouting at Gaeta as he looks exasperated at what Tigh just said] Hey! Look at me! As long as you're here, maybe you can help me out. I'm missing something. I lost it in detention. [gets closer] Since you're so buddy-buddy with the Cylons, maybe you know where it is. How about it? [pause] Do you know where my eye is??!?

Hybrid

Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish though we don't enter until a plate, we're here to experience, evolve the little toe, atrophy, don't ask me how, I'll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you, genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs step wise though the essence is all one, end of line. FTL system check. Diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin, the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes...

Well, too many Pilots, not enough birds. Anything to keep me flying, at this point. You want me I'm yours, Boomer.

Uh, no, Boomer was... She was someone else.

Listen up. We need a new call sign for Lieutenant Agathon.

How about "Athena"?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. What was that?

You know, the Goddess of Wisdom and War. Usually accompanied by the Goddess of Victory?

Baltar

I'm a scientist. And as a scientist, I believe if God exists, our knowledge of him is imperfect. Why? Because the stories and myths we have are the products of men, the passage of time. The religion you practice is based on a theory, impossible to prove. Yet you bestow it with absolutes like, "There is no such thing as coincidence."

It's called faith.

Baltar

Absolute belief in God's will means there's a reason for everything. Everything! And yet you can't help ask yourself how God can allow death and destruction. And then despise yourself for asking. But the truth is, if we knew God's will, we'd all be gods, wouldn't we??

Look at me. Look at me, Gaius. Do you want me to believe you're worth saving? Do you? Do you? Say it.

Baltar

I want you to believe in me! Don't stop! Don't stop! Please, please don't stop! You have to believe in me! You're all I have left!

Now tell me you believe in me. Tell me you believe in my strength.

Baltar

I believe in you! I believe in you! [D'Anna stops hurting him, totally confused, and he smiles at her/Six dreamily.] I love you with all my heart.

Sharon

I made a choice to wear a uniform, to be a person.

You were a person before you put on that uniform, okay? You were a person before I fell in love with you. You don't have to prove that.

Sharon

I have to prove it every day.

I'm not a traitor. I love my people. I love this ship. Besides you, the first thing I want to see on any morning is the lights of that CIC. But I did what I thought was right. If it was a mistake, fine, I can live with that. It's you I can't live without.

Sharon

I'll always love you, Helo.

Tigh

I'll tell you a dirty little secret. The toughest part of getting played is losing your dignity. Feeling like you are not worth the oxygen you are sucking down. You get used to it. You start to believe it. You start to love it. It's like a bottle that never runs dry, you can keep reaching for it over and over and over again...

Adama

So how do you put that bottle away, Saul?

Tigh

I don't know. One day, you just decide to... get up and walk out of your room.
