- Dr. Gaius Baltar: [praying for Derek] God, I'm only going to ask you this one last time: Don't let this child die. Has he sinned against you? He can't have sinned against you. He's not even had a life yet. How can you take him and let me live? After all I've done... really, if you want someone to suffer, take me. We both know I deserve it. Selfish and weak. I have failed so many people. And I have killed. I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I'm just asking that you spare the life of this innocent child. Don't take him, take me. Take me, please.
- Tracey Anne: [walking in and seeing Gaius on his knees seemly in prayer; not knowing that Number Six had been comforting him by saying she was there for him] That is so beautiful.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: [he opens his eyes and looks around] Hello. Sorry, what?
- Tracey Anne: The way you were praying.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: [noticing he had his palms together in an attitude of prayer] Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, thank you, yeah.
- Tracey Anne: [she comes over and sits down facing Gaius] Not some hollow ritual.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: No, no.
- Tracey Anne: It's as if the Gods are right here beside you.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: Well, yeah.
- Tracey Anne: When I pray to the gods...
- [we see Number Six watching them with interest]
- Tracey Anne: I feel empty.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: Do you? That's a shame, isn't it?
- Number Six: Her gods are false. Tell her.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: [Tracey reaches up and strokes his hair] Well, if you feel empty when you pray to Zeus or Poseidon or Aphrodite, it's because it is. It's a totally empty experience.
- [she begins unbuttoning Gaius' shirt]
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: They're not real. They've been promulgated by a ruling elite, to stop you from learning the truth.
- Tracey Anne: And what truth is that?
- Tracey Anne: That's a very good question. What is the... the...
- Number Six: There's only one God.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: [Tracey begins unbuttoning her blouse] There is only one God. In a nutshell, that's the truth. We're alone here,aren't we? The others aren't coming back soon.
- [She grins and shakes her head]
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: And the door's locked. All right, good.
- Tracey Anne: [She takes Gaius' hands and places them on her uncovered breasts] Can you feel God's presence?
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: You know what? I think I do.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: So do I.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: Do you? Do you, too? We both feel...
- [Fade as they start to kiss and slide toward the floor]
- Ensign Samuel Anders: Hey, hey,this is crazy. What if I get up there and another switch flips in my head and turns me against my own?
- Chief Galen Tyrol: [whispering] What the frak is wrong with you? Shut the frak up. It's like the Colonel said, okay? Just think of that. Be the man you want till the day you die.
- Ensign Samuel Anders: A lot easier said than done, 'cause I don't know what the frak I am right now.
- Chief Galen Tyrol: You're Sameul T. Anders. That's all you gotta remember. Samuel T. Anders. Now get the frak in your ship.
- Number Six: Yesterday, you were facing execution. Today, you're free. Why the long face?
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: Oh, gee, I don't know. From President of the colonies to this. King of fools. Probably best to be hated by everyone than loved by this lot. Doomed to live out the rest of my life in this loony bin. I don't know, that might have something to do with my rather savage mood swings.
- Number Six: Relax, Gaius. You think I've brought you this far just to let it end here?
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: I need some encouragement. A ray of hope about the future. An inkling.
- Number Six: You've got me. I'm here for you.
- Lee Adama: [talking to the Admiral about their concerns about Starbuck] Dad, what if Zak had come back to us in that Viper? If my brother had climbed out of that cockpit? Would it matter if he were a Cylon? If he always had been? When all's said and done, would that change how we really feel about him?
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: When I woke up orbiting Earth, I just figured it was some crazy dream, but... I went in following a Heavy Raider. I mean, maybe the Cylons pulled me out of the soup... and captured me, brainwashed me on Caprica, and they experimented on me. I mean, did they take pieces of me? I mean, is... is it possible that they grew me, another me, in a petri dish? Or they embedded me with the memories, or it with the memories, or... I don't know.
- Ensign Samuel Anders: No. Hey, no, no, no. Kara, no. Listen to me. If you were a Cylon, then you've been one from the beginning.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [hostilely] Like Boomer? Spend my entire life thinking I'm one thing...
- Ensign Samuel Anders: Yeah, and then you wake up one day and discover you're another. Still doesn't change who you really are. Still doesn't change the fact that I love you, no matter what.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: You are a better person than I am, Sam, because if I found out that you were a Cylon... I would put a bullet between your eyes.
- Lt. Anastasia Dualla: [on the PA] All hands, prepare for jump in four, three, two, jump.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [holding her head in agony during the jump and gasping afterwards:] Damn it! They're still going in the wrong direction.
- [Gasp, gulp]
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: One more jump and I'm gonna lose my way altogether.
- Ensign Samuel Anders: All right, we gotta find you a rack. Okay, take it easy.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: It's Roslin. The Old Man's not gonna listen to me as long she's... I gotta get to her.
