Quotes 

• Laura Roslin : There's no Earth. You made it all up. President Adar and I once talked about the legends surrounding Earth. He knew nothing about a secret location regarding Earth, and if the President knew nothing about it, what are the chances that you do?

  Adama : You're right. There's no Earth. It's all a legend.

  Laura Roslin : Then why?

  Adama : Because it's not enough to just live. You have to have something to live for. Let it be Earth.

  Laura Roslin : They'll never forgive you.

  Adama : Maybe. But in the meantime I've given all of us a fighting chance to survive. And isn't that what you said was the most important thing, the survival of the human race?

• Apollo : Sir, "Apollo"'s just my call sign. My name's Lee Adama.

  Laura Roslin : I know who you are, but "Captain Apollo" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

• Laura Roslin : I don't know why I have to keep telling you this, but the war is over.

  Adama : It hasn't begun yet.
