Daniel quotes from Caprica

Daniel

We either move into the future, or die trying to hold onto our past.

Amanda

Ok I'm going in first.

Daniel

Uh, I don't think that's a go idea.

Amanda

I slapped her the day before she died. She'll remember that right?

Daniel

She'll remember whatever Original Zoe allowed her to remember. Probably ... yes.

Amanda

She said I'd regret it the rest of my life.

Daniel

I did worse. I, Uh

Amanda

What?

Daniel

I suspected she was hiding in the U-87 so I tried to flush her out, by exploiting her fear of fire. [Enraged, Amanda turns away] I know, I know. I wasn't thinking clearly, and ...(Amanda slaps Daniel)

Daniel

You and I could operate in tandem, sharing data as we go.

Data, for what?

Daniel

Building you a new body. Compact, agile, with full sensory input.

Amanda

And with skin.

Amanda

If you will.

Daniel

It's as good a name as any. [pause] Are you in?

Did you ever anticipate Cylons just being integrated into society this quickly?

Daniel

No, I think it took the event of the arena to galvanize the people. I think once they saw how much the monotheists hated us and how powerful they'd become, and then saw the Cylons out there protecting us. I think it all changed in an instant.

Then let's look at the future then. Because I'm hearing talk of Cylon butlers, Cylon nurses. How long before my niece, Candice comes home with her Cylon fiancé to introduce to the family?

Daniel

Well, I think people are smart enough to realize that as useful as they are Cylons are simply tools, nothing more. And to forget that, to blur the distinction between man and machine and to attribute human qualities is folly. There is no way to know what lies ahead, really. This technology as taken us those last few steps to the mountain pass but the beyond is undiscovered country.
