Adama: The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but...
[very long pause]
Adama: sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question "Why?" Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed and spite, jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done, like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play God, create life. And when that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.

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?

Adama: There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

Apollo: I thought we were sparring.
Adama: That's why you don't win.

Baltar: All right, that's it! No more Mr. Nice Gaius!

Col. Saul Tigh: I can't believe you sided with that woman against the Old Man, I wouldn't do that if you put a gun to my head, and you did! As far as I'm concerned you're not fit to wear the uniform.
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: Yeah, you're right about that part, I am not fit to wear the uniform.
[pause]
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: And maybe I never was. Then again neither are you.
[turns to Tigh]
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: But this isn't my ship, it sure as hell isn't yours. It's his, and when he wakes up, he'll decide what to do with the both of us.

Baltar: So the fate... of the entire human race depends upon my wild guess

Adama: We have struggled since the attacks... trying to rely on one another. Our strength and our only hope as a people, is to remain undivided. We haven't always done all we could to insure that. Many people believe that the scriptures, the letters from the gods, will lead us to salvation. Maybe they will. But the gods shall lift those who lift each other." And so, to lift all of us, let me present once again the president of the colonies, Laura Roslin.

Starbuck: Starbuck to all vipers-- do not fire... repeat, do not fire! I am a friendly, okay? We're all friendlies. So, let's just...be friendly.

Laura Roslin: Doctor, I need your help. But it's illegal, dangerous, and in violation of your oath as an officer.

Doctor Cottle: You’re a lousy salesman.

Gina: I want to die. Will you help me do that? Will you kill me, please?

Commander Adama: What can I get you?

President Roslin: A new body. Perhaps, one of those young Cylon models from the Resurrection Ship.

Commander Adama: I can't see you as a blonde.

President Roslin: You'd be surprised.

Six: Oh, my god. My god, Gaius, it's me. Look at what they've done to her.

Six: Can't you stop being a scientist for one moment and look at the abused woman lying there in front of you?

Starbuck: Bitch took my ride.

I also liked this one.
Baltar: All right, that's it! No more Mr. Nice Gaius!

Berkie · 02-02-2007, 09:45 PM

Six- Life has a melody, Gaius. A rhythm of notes that become your existence when played in harmony with God's plan.

And my current sig line.

Lee's emo knows no bounds.

Laura Roslin: (about Adama) Maybe if he's more comfortable he'll be a little easier to deal with.
Billy Keikeya: That's smart.
Laura Roslin: No, it's not smart. It's politics.

Captain Lee Adama: I thought we were sparring.
Commander William Adama: That's why you don't win.

Commander William Adama: You can quote me whatever regulation you'd like. I'm not going to let you execute my men!

That's one scene I'll always be able to see in my mind while reading.

which scene was that said in?

Love this quote from Rapture:

Helo: Don’t ask me to do this, Sharon.
Athena: Listen to me. You have always been the strong one. You believed in us when no one else would. I’m begging you to do this. Find the courage to do this for both of us, OK?

And another favorite:

Colonel Tigh: Why aren't you in the brig?
Billy: Um... because no one put me in there?

DigificWriter · 02-03-2007, 11:23 PM

Here's another great exchange involving Tigh.

Tigh: Where's your mother?

Boxey: Dead. Where's yours?

It was either Resurrection Ship Part 1 or 2. I think 1.

Adama said that at the end of "Pegasus", just before the alert fighters launch

**BehrItAll** · 02-04-2007, 06:56 PM

Ok I still have to see that one

I also like this one mentioned:
Colonel Tigh: Why aren't you in the brig?
Billy: Um... because no one put me in there?

RANDOM SIX: We're the children of humanity. That makes them our parents in a sense.
AARON DORAL: True, but parents have to die. It's the only way children can come into their own.

ANDERS: If Kara dies out there, I swear to Gods that I will kill you myself.
LEE: If she dies out there, I’ll let you.

KARA: No, you love me. You can't take it back. There's no take-backs.

I would love it if someone had Lee's speech ready to be put in this thread.

"My name is Saul Tigh. I am an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am... Whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be." - Saul Tigh
