Galactica: Sickbay, (Dr. Cottle hooks up Roslin's IV.)
Cottle: The nausea should go away in about an hour.
Laura tries to read for a moment, then takes off her glasses, feeling sick. The Admiral sits down beside her, without comment
Adama: Love & Bullets, by Nick Taylo, Chapter One. "It started like it always did. With a body. This one was in the river. I could tell she had once been beautiful, but this a bullet and fast current had taken away from her. All we are, all that we think we are. All that we are certain about is taken away from us. When you've worked the streets and seen what I've seen, you become more and more convinced of it every day. Caprica City had been my teacher, my mistress. From the moment I open my eyes, she's in my blood, like cheap wine."
Laura moans and begins to weep, holding her hands over her abdomen
Adama: "Bitter and sweet, tinged with regret. I'll never be free of her, nor do I want to be."
Adama looks at her and she smiles and continues to listen
Adama: "For she is what I am. All that is, should always be."
S4 E3 'The Tie That Binds'

Galactica Sickbay
Adama: Am I that late?
Roslin: No, this wasn't a treatment. It was just a blood test. You brought a new book?
Adama: Uh, yes. Something different this time. It's a classic. My favorite.
Roslin: Sea Rider Falcon! I haven't read it in years. I don't remember how it ends.
Adama: I don't either. I never read the ending.
Roslin: You're kidding. It's your favorite.
Adama: smiling sweetly I like it so much, I don't want it to be over. So I'm saving it.
Roslin: brightly Well maybe I should do that.
Adama is shaken by this
Roslin: ...That's a bad idea. Maybe not.
[i]Adama: taking her bag Let me do that for you.
Roslin: Okay, thanks.
Into the corridor. Her arm rests in his
Adama: Baltar's back at home, in the brig again.
Roslin: Desecration of a temple. It's his revenge for what happened to him this morning.
Adama: It was brutal. I have my personnel trying to track down anything on the Sons of Ares. But nobody's talking.
Roslin: The thing is that Baltar knows that there are religious hardliners in Dogsville, but he continues to provoke.
Adama: I just can't have a religious war in this Fleet.
Roslin: Oh please, no. Then the whole damn thing will become our frakkin' responsibility, yours and mine. Seriously,
Bill, we have thirty thousand people left and they're not happy unless they're kicking each other's teeth in. This is what we've become?
Adama: No, it's him. Baltar has an uncanny way of stirring up all the crap.
They enter the Admiral's quarters
Adama: I wonder if he'd be willing to stay in lockdown indefinitely, for his own safety.
Roslin: And make a martyr out of him? No way. Those girly, groupie, sex whatever-they-are, they already think he's a God.
Adama: So we kick him off of the Galactica.
Roslin: No, I want him close. ...I'm going to the brig.
Adama: You want to see him?
Roslin, cutely: I want him to see me.
S4 E4 'Escape Velocity'

Adama's Quarters
Roslin: I need to talk to you.
Adama: Certainly. Come in.
Roslin: Thank you.
Adama: Can I get you some water?
Roslin: Yes.
A bit later
Adama: You really believe that there's something in this horse manure that Baltar's peddling?
Roslin: I don't know. Something is happening here, and I don't really understand it, Bill.
Adama: You both had the same dream, means...
Roslin: What? Talk to me. What's going on?
Adama: Kara comes back from the dead, I let her go off chasing her vision of Earth. Well, she's overdue. Lee turns in his wings. Helo, Athena, Gaeta. Will I ever see those kids again?
Roslin: rubbing his shoulder Bill. Look at me. I'm right here. Right here. We're going to find it.
Adama: Earth?
Roslin: Together.
Adama: I used to think it was such a pipe dream. I used to use it as a carrot for the Fleet.
Roslin: What made you change?
Adama: grinning wonderfully You. You made me believe.
S4 S6 'Faith'

Adama's Quarters
Adama: packing I hear you're keeping Zarek as Vice President.
Lee: I can use the advice. And as long as he knows he's heard, I think I can trust him.
Adama: Don't know if I agree with your thinking, but...
Lee: Well, I could say the same thing about yours.
Adama: The only difference is, you are gonna be President. I'm just getting in a plane.
Lee: Waiting alone in a Raptor, while the rest of the Fleet jumps away, that's not just getting in a plane. That... That sounds a lot like... Well, that sounds a lot like suicide, Dad.
Adama: At least this time I'm only risking my own neck.
Lee: voice cracking all over So I guess it won't matter if as President I order you not to do this?
Adama: I don't know if I ever told you this, but one of my first missions was a solo recon. Being alone in a Raptor in enemy space... I'm not going to lie to you, I was scared. I told myself that I was doing my duty, and ultimately I faced my fear. That's a good memory.
Lee: Why are you doing this?
Adama: Because I can't live without her. And Laura is gonna get to the rendezvous point. I have to believe that
S4 E8 'Sine Qua Non'

made by chasin_the_wind



Adama visits Roslin in her Quarters, Roslin is exercising
Adama: If we can sway public opinion towards us or least not against us Lee thinks that Zarek and the Quor'um can be handled.
Roslin: He's probably right. Oh I'm so stiiff
Adama: You sure you're up for this.
Roslin: Yeah, just. I'm just stretching, a little aerobics. Jeez, I haven't felt this good in months. Oo that hurts, it's good.
Adama: When do you have to go for another Diloxin treatment?.
Roslin: Tomorrow.
Adama: Good. Lee thinks, and I agree with him, that you should address the fleet. Make a public declaration, that an alliance with the Cylons is critical for our long term survival.
Roslin: Sure. Not just yet though, I need a little time.
Adama: That's what I told him. (pauses) We need you Laura. I know that you are tired, but we need you.
Roslin: I hear you. I do, trust me, need a little time. (nods her head to the side) Go. Go. (giggles a little)
Adama: Just don't over do it, alright
Roslin: I won't.
S4 E12 'A Disquiet Follows My Soul'

Roslin is running through the ship, she bumps into Adama
Roslin: (out of breath) It's a big ship.
Adama. Do you run the whole route?
Roslin: Half. It's more than I run, long time.
Adama: You're flushed, you look good.
Roslin: Thank you.
Adama: You're not supposed to look good. You're supposed to be in sickbay with a tube in your arm.
Roslin: Changed my mind.
Adama: Like hell. You never intended to go.
Roslin: Caught. Sent me to the brig, I can run there. (smiles)
Adama: Cottle says you're experiencing a moment of euphoria with your body recovering from the toxcities of the treatments.
Roslin: So much for doctor patient confidentiality
Adama: Well the President's health is a security issue
Roslin: My resignation will be on your desk in the hour.
Adama: (stops Laura walking) I'm not going to hand the Presidency over to Tom Zarek.
Roslin: Well a status quo will have to do.
Adama: (grabs Laura's arm) Stop it. Listen, we need you. Zarek's got the Quor'um in an uproar. The press is going crazy, the government spinning out of control. Now, we need you.
Roslin: Take your hands off me Bill. (Laura takes his hands away). I've played my role in this farce. A dying leader will guide the people to the blur, blur, blur, frakkin', blur, blur. I've been there, done that, now what. Is there another role that I have to play for the rest of my life?. (Laura put a hand on Bill's chest) Do you remember what we said on New Caprica?, how we talked about tryong to live for today. You better think about that because maybe tomorrow isn't really coming. Maybe today is all we have left and maybe, just maybe I've earned the right to live a little before I die. Haven't I?, what do you think?, haven't I?
Adama: Yes, you've earned it.
Roslin: I have, well guess what, so have you. (Roslin kisses Adama). Now get out of my way.
S4 E12 'A Disquiet Follows My Soul'

in Adama's quarters
Roslin: The Colonel's right you know, the fleet is never been comfortable with this blanket Cylon amnesty.
Adama: This coffee is terrible.
Roslin: Sticking Lee in the corner is going to be seen as a shot across the bow, he can hedge it all he wants, but the delegates will see that it will comes straight from you.
Adama: He can handle it.
Roslin: Yes he can, and so can you and I'm not getting involved. (Roslin gets up from the sofa) Lee can take care of himself and you can take care of youself and I'm not getting pulled back in.
Adama: (looks at Roslin)
Roslin: Ah, the ledgendary Adama silence. I can see right through it. This passive agressive pretense that you're ok if I don't get involved.
Adama: (smiles) I don't do passive agressive.
Roslin: Yes you do, you just don't know what it is. (smiles)
Adama: (gets up from the sofa, laughs and walks to Laura) Well, get some rest.
Roslin: Rest. (she smiles)
Adama: I'll try and make it home for supper.
Roslin: (smiles) I'll have it ready.
Adama: (laughs, walks and opens the door.)
Roslin: Cantrell's the key, tell Lee if he can get to Cant....
(Adama looks back at Roslin)
Roslin: I'm not....(shakes her head)
(Adama looks at Roslin thoughtfully and then walks out of his quarters)
S4 E13 "The Oath"

(Adama enters the secondary storage airlock with Lee Kara, and Tigh, Adama sees Roslin waiting, along with Tyrol, Sharon and Baltar)
Adama: It's good to see you Mr Tyrol.
Lee: Forgot this place was down here.
Tyrol: Yeah, everybody did. Got trashed on the raid on New Caprica. Brought it back online for this.
Adama and Roslin look at each other, Adama walks towards Roslin, putting his guns down as he does so. Adama walks up to Roslin and kisses her in front of all the crew)
Roslin: (hugging Adama) I came her because I don't want you to worry about me and I know what you have to do. (Roslin kisses Adama through his hair)
Voice on the radio: This is sector 12, copy
Tyrol: Go
Voice on the radio: Re fire team just went past, looks like they are coming your way.
Tyrol: We got about 2 minutes.
Adama: Mr Tyrol, take them back the way we came. You go with them Colonel
Tigh: Come too far to walk out on you now Bill.
Kara: What are you doing Sir?
Adama: Colonel and I going to make sure the President's raptor gets out of her safely.
(the guards run along the corridor to the airlock)
Sharon: Intitating launch sequence.
Baltar: Admiral, Madam President, please.
(Roslin steps into the Raptor)
Adama: Prepare to launch.
(Adama and Roslin say a silent goodbye to each other and the raptor's doors close)
S4 E13 "The Oath"

Adama: (in sickbay, reading a chapter to Roslin) and so i walked like the beat cop i used to be. when you walk, you see things in different ways. but when something's out of place, you notice. a cop's eyes always notice. and those eyes were one thing they couldn't take away from me. (Adama looks up and see's Roslin smiling). What?.
Roslin: Open to page 61.
(Adama turns to page 61 and laughs)
Roslin: Don't worry, Cottle won't mind. it's medicinal (Roslin lights up the joint)
Adama: I can't believe you saved this.
Roslin: Do you remember that day?
Adama: Yes. New Caprica. Baltar's groundbreaking. We talked, and talked.
Roslin: About a lot of things. Guess what I'm thinking about right now?
Adama: Gimme a hint.
Roslin: Mountains. a stream running into a little lake. Water so clear it's like looking through glass.
Adama: Your cabin. The one you wanted to build.
Roslin: It's amazing how much I still think about it. You know, sometimes I wonder...what home is. is it an actual place? or is it some kind of longing for something, some kind of connection? you know, I spent my whole life on Caprica. I was born in one house, and then I...I moved to another, and then, this. And then, now. I don't think I've ever felt truly at home until these last few months, here, with you. I know you love this ship. you probably love her more than you love me. Bill, if you don't get us off this ship, you may lose both of us at the same time. Why don't you give us a chance?
(Adama smiles at Roslin)
S4 E18 "Islanded In A Stream of Stars"

(Bill & Laura sitting by the trees, looking out over the landscape)
Laura: (watching the animals via binoculars). There's So Many. Wait, I wanna see more detail. (put her glasses on)
(Laura and Bill looks at each other and hold hands)
Laura: It's a very beautiful world.., does it have a name?
Bill: Earth.
Laura: (laughs) It's not Earth.
Bill: Earth is a dream. One we've been chasing for a long time. We've earned it. This is Earth.
Laura: Ok then, Earth. (laughs) Fine. I'm having trouble breathing.
Bill: (looks at Laura and then at the animals in the open space) Would you like to get a better look at them.?
Laura: (smiles) Yes I'd love... what do you mean?
Bill: Watch.
Laura: What?, why? what are you doing?
Bill: ([gets up ) Watch me,
Laura: What are you doing?
Bill: Put your arm around me.., can you..

Bill: I laid out the cabin today. It's going to have an easterly view. You should see the light that we get here, when the sun comes from behind those mountains, it's almost heavenly. It reminds me of you.....
