I am not a priest. I've never even been a particularly good man. I am in fact a profoundly selfish man. But that doesn't matter, you see. Something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I would choose to call this something "God", a singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself you will find that spark too. You will. But you have to look deep. Love your faults. Embrace them. If God embraces them, then how can they be faults? Love yourself. You have to love yourself. If we don't love ourselves, how can we love others? And when we know what we are, then we can find the truth out about others, seek what they are; the truth about them. And you know what the truth is? The truth about them? About you? About me? Do you? The truth is, we're all perfect. Just as we are. God only loves that which is perfect and he loves you. He loves you because you are perfect. You are perfect. Just as you are.
S4 E6Escape Velocity
S4 E7The Road Less Traveled
What do you want from Kara?
The same thing I've always wanted. For her to understand her destiny.
That's not good enough.
It's good enough for her. What is the most basic article of faith? That this is not all that we are. [Starts laughing] C-Bucs rule.
What did you just say?
Forward guard, right? I saw a couple of games. You were good. Yet after all the celebrity and acclaim, what were you? Just another face selling magazines, another piece of scoreboard trivia. You always knew you were destined for more. You were just waiting for your singular moment of clarity.
All I know is if there is a God, he's laughin' his ass off.
S4 E8Faith
Thus will it come to pass. The Dying Leader will know the truth of the Opera House. The missing Three will give you the Five, who've come from the Home of the Thirteenth. You are the Harbinger of Death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their End. End of line.
S4 E9Guess What's Coming to Dinner
[Roslin, Adama, Tigh and Helo are discussing destroying the hub]
Imagine, once they're gone they can't come back. Mortal enemies.
Before we blow the Hub we need to get a team in, to unbox D'Anna.
Well no, maybe we just don't. Maybe we just forget the godsdamn Boxing Facility.
Lie to the rebels?
Well, they're lying to us!
The humans are never going to allow us to have the Final Five and go our own way.
Are you sure of this?
Not entirely. I'd rather be wrong but we need insurance.
Trust has to begin somewhere.
Not with us. It's our ship. When we jump, we take control of it with the Centurions. We carry out the mission as promised. But when we return, we take hostages. The humans on this ship will stay on this ship until we have the Five. We've changed but the humans haven't. We've come too far to risk everything on their trust.
I don't really care if you have to spend the night on your knees praying, or just on your knees. I want a name. I want to know who's responsible for these lies.
You've been lying. About the President sharing visions with Cylons.
That happens to be the God's honest truth.
Sorry. I can't accept what you've done.
What I've done? Wha.. Where's this coming from?
These rumors you've started. You've seen what they've done to her.
You seriously believe that I'm making all this up? I'm not saying that I'm not capable but why would I?
When I spoke to the Quorum, I could feel it. The contempt.
Then you were right. They're not ready to trust us.
No, I was wrong. We're not ready. We're deceiving them.
For protection. For necessity.
Out of suspicion and fear. Why haven't the Final Five come forward? What if they're watching, judging us by our actions? We're about to resort to violence and coercion. What if they refuse to come with us? We can't do this.
It's too late.
We have to order the Centurions to stand down.
It's too late. They're committed.
Then we have to tell the humans the truth.
No! You can't do that! They'll never trust us again. They already know the coordinates. They'll just go and destroy everything.
Go. Stall for time. Talk to Adama. Tell him anything. Anything but the truth. I'll deal with the Centurions.
S4 E10Sine Qua Non
Lee said you once gave him something before a mission, a lighter.
Belonged to my father. Foolish to think a hunk of metal could keep him safe.
And yet that's what we do isn't it. Hang onto hope in every hopelessly irrational way that we can, but not like those poor bastards, giving away their luck just when they need it most. Its like they've given up.
If you've never been in combat you have no idea what they are thinking.
I always imagined you a realist, Admiral. Not one to indulge a vain hope at the cost of lives, but then everyone has his limits. Sine qua non as they say.
Without which not.
Yes, those things we deem essential, without which we cannot bear living. Without which life in general loses its specific value. Becomes, abstract.
You may have a point counselor.
Well, while I'm on a roll, Tom Zarek may not be an ideal president, but we could do worse.
You're right, there are limits to my realism. Goodbye counselor.
S4 E11The Hub
It's the Rebel Baseship. I think they're gonna attack! They're gonna blow the hub!
That would be mass murder. Death would be permanent for all of us! They've gone insane.
Permanent death? Well that makes this a lot more meaningful. [Snaps Number One's neck]
What is your guilt about?
I have no guilt.
What was your guilt about?
I gave the access codes to the Cylons. They wiped out most of humanity. Of course I didn't know that's what I was doing at the time. And when I realized what I had done, the magnitude, in that moment I was saved. I was loved, by God. Looking back, I think I was rewarded.
Rewarded?
Pythia talks about a flood. Wiped out most of humanity. Nobody blames the flood. Flood is a force of Nature. Through Flood mankind is rejuvenated, born again. I was another Flood. You see, I blamed myself. I blamed myself. But God made the man that made that choice. God made us all perfect. And in that thought, all my guilt flies away. Flies away like a bird.
Suppose you've got some questions for me.
Yes I do. I'd like to talk about the five Cylons in my fleet.
So you know about the Final Five?
I know they're supposed to know the way to Earth.
But you don't know that you're one of them. [Roslin freezes shocked; Biers bursts out laughing] Please...your face! [Roslin looks relieved and smirks] Oh, it's ridiculous. No. Look, I'm not giving you any names. Not until I feel like I'm safe. 'Cause information is all I got, sweetie.
Roslin : I love you.
About time.
S4 E12Revelations
[Roslin changes Baltar's bandage]
Laura. There's been something I've been meaning to say to you. I wanted to thank you.
For what?
Essentially, for not murdering me. That can't have been an easy decision to make. But I love living. I love living, and I wanted to thank you for saving my life.
I wouldn't be so grateful if I were you. You should know that I told the Admiral that if D'Anna doesn't back down, he should blow the ship to pieces.
You what?
