"Battlestar Galactica" Murder on the Rising Star (TV Episode 1979) - John Colicos as Count Baltar

Count Baltar : You must take me as a fool. The affection Karibdis had for me was akin to that of a son for a father. He would never be a threat to my life.

Captain Apollo : Then why is he onboard this shuttle?

[Baltar looks back into the shuttle, and sees nothing]

Count Baltar : I don't believe you. If he were onboard this shuttle it would be for one reason, to kill you.

Captain Apollo : You're right. First. Then he'll kill you with my laser. It will look like you jumped me and in the struggle we both killed each other.

Count Baltar : And how would he explain that I did such a thing while wearing shackles?

Captain Apollo : He'll remove them, after you're dead.
Count Baltar : Think about it, Apollo. There's more than one prisoner on this barge who'd love to have Lieutenant Starbuck here. He won't live long enough to reach his cell!
Count Baltar : You're a wonder, Captain. Instead of offering me freedom to identify Karibdis, you offer me... my life. How touching.

Captain Apollo : It's your only chance.

Count Baltar : You mean Lieutenant Starbuck's only chance.

Captain Apollo : That may be true, but I'm betting your instinct for survival is stronger than your desire to see Starbuck convicted for a crime he didn't commit.
