- Lieutenant Boomer: Colonel, Blue Squadron reporting for duty, sir.
- Colonel Tigh: Lieutenant, obviously you can't even stand.
- Lieutenant Boomer: A viper is flown from the seated position, sir.
- Commander Adama: The Book of the Word tells us that a great star guided the Lords of Kobol away from the dying planet, across an endless black sea.
- Colonel Tigh: The void? Adama, there are probably as many voids in the universe as there are ideas.
- Boxey: I don't want her to go! I don't want her to go.
- Captain Apollo: I know. But it's her body that's gone, Boxey, not her spirit, or her love for us. We'll have that always, forever.
- Captain Apollo: Serina, you get your tail back aboard the Galactica.
- Serina: Now is that any way to talk to an officer? I'll have you up on charges. Or at very least locked out of my chambers.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [aboard Cylon base ship] I like the way you haven't gone overboard on furniture.
- [strikes a match on Cylon Centurion's chest plate]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Thanks.
- [lights up cigar]
- Lucifer: It will go better for you, Lieutenant, if you'd show a little respect.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: You mean things could get worse?
- Lucifer: Hmm.
- Count Baltar: Lieutenant Starbuck. How nice of you to drop in.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Baltar! I'd trade my life for one shot at you.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [to Baltar] I just want you to know torture won't do you any good. I had a course in resisting.
- [Cylon Centurions remove him from the throne room]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Hey, hey, hey, careful! I bruise easy!
- Commander Adama: Will the protector of Serina consent to relinquishing his responsibilities to Apollo, the man to whom she has consented to be married?
- Boxey: [after being tapped on the shoulder] Yes.
- Commander Adama: The words I'm about to speak... are the most powerful in all the universe. They seal a union between this man and this woman, which is not only for now but for all the eternities. Apollo, Serina, under the eyes of God, bound by the symbol of the faiths of the Lord of Kobol, I declare you sealed.
- Count Baltar: Adama, listen to reason. You could drift forever in search of what? A planet that may be the myth of half drunken star voyagers who came back to die here?
- Count Baltar: [tries to leave] I cannot stay here too long before my machine friends will become nervous and do something rash.
- Commander Adama: How dare you defile the holy crypt!
- Count Baltar: Do you think I believe in all that primitive superstition?
- [the crypt starts to cave in]
- Count Baltar: I didn't mean it!
- Count Baltar: It was a mistake! I meant no harm. Adama, the Lords are with you. Use your power. Get us out of here!
- Commander Adama: I cannot.
- Serina: Even if all we had was a brief time, it will be worth an eternity.
- Captain Apollo: We will have an eternity, too.
- Serina: Do you believe that?
- Captain Apollo: You've convinced me. A spirit like yours just can't end.
- Commander Adama: Get him out!
- Count Baltar: Adama, wait! You must hear me out. I have been to the Cylon seat of power. It is in chaos! Cylon forces are scattered throughout the star system searching for you. The route back into the Cylon empire is BARELY defended. They're spread so thin, ONE SINGLE BATTLESTAR can take control of the empire and bring it to its knees!
- Serina: [as he searches for Starbuck on the radar screen] How long will you watch that?
- Captain Apollo: I just can't believe he's gone.
- Serina: Apollo, I loved him too. That's why I think he'd understand. Even approve.
- Captain Apollo: Understand? Approve what?
- Serina: Apollo, marry me now.
- Captain Apollo: [they look deep into each other's eyes] Now? Right in the middle of...?
- Serina: Of what? A disaster, a void, an endless night? I don't care. I just don't want to wait... for a moment which might never happen.
- [he lifts up her chin, stares into her eyes, stands aside in thought]
- Serina: Do you love me?
- Captain Apollo: Is that what it would take to prove it to you?
- Serina: I just want every moment that we have left before another centon passes, another mission where I might lose you.
- [weeps quietly, he takes her in his arms, she rests her head on his shoulder, he holds her close]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Apollo, what do you plan on doing for living quarters after you're married?
- Captain Apollo: Oh, I am so excited! I just found this place in the Astrodon freighter. With a little paint and some nice curtains, it's so cozy!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: You always were good with color.
- [after the female warriors continue talking in the background]
- Captain Apollo: Mmm, you'll never believe what I found. I just found some Valcron in the Tip Barge.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: REALLY? The soft, translucent kind?
- Captain Apollo: [effeminately] Absolutely stunning!
- Serina: I wonder what the city was called?
- Commander Adama: There were many cities, here on Kobol. Eden was the largest. It was the first to fall. This... this might be it. I don't know.
- Captain Apollo: We thought you were dead.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Yeah, well, what's a little base star to an old war jock like me?
- Captain Apollo: [laughs, suddenly realizing] Base star?
- Captain Apollo: [as Starbuck zooms off] Don't be crazy, Starbuck, if you get too far ahead of me, you're gonna lose your fix. Now slow up and give me a chance to catch up!
- [then spots another pilot acting on own accord]
- Captain Apollo: Serena, you get your tail back aboard the Galactica!
- Serina: Now is that any way to talk to an officer? I'll have you up on charges. Or at the very least, locked out of my chambers.
- Captain Apollo: Serena, you're a good pilot. My head believes that even if my stomach doesn't. But this void can swallow up good pilots, so go back.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Apollo!
- Captain Apollo: Yo!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Whatever the Galactica picked up on her scanners, is beyond our range. I can't go any further without losing my fix on the Galactica.
- Captain Apollo: Then go back.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: I got a better idea. I'll keep my fix on you, you keep your fix on the home base. We can double our range.
- Serina: I have a better idea. Apollo can lock on me, I'll fix on the Galactica, and we can triple our range.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Who was that?
- Captain Apollo: Nobody. Just come back, Starbuck. If anybody's going on deep probe, it will be me. I'm in command.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Sorry. Consider it a wedding present.
- [his Colonial Viper zooming away]
- Captain Apollo: [as they survey the ancient structures, Apollo holds her close] The old writings. They have him beguiled. He sits up there in the temple waiting for I-don't-know-what.
- Serina: Apollo, those scriptures sent us here.
- Captain Apollo: No, a burnt-out sun led us, nothing more.
- Serina: [leaning back, looking up at him] All right, dear Practical, but isn't it comforting to know that there is more to life than a burnt-out star and ruins?
- Serina: [as starlight breaks through into the temple] Is it my imagination, or is the room getting lighter?
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [as Cylon attackers swoop down, laser blazing down] Athena, where's Apollo and Serena?
- Lieutenant Athena: They're up at the temple with Baltar!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: We can't leave them up there, they're gonna blow that place to pieces!
- Lieutenant Athena: Look, the only way I know how to get 'em down is to knock 'em out of the sky!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: What, are you crazy? You girls barely know how to fly!
- Lieutenant Athena: Look, you do what you wanna do! I'm going!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: No! Wait! Wait! Get...
- [Athena runs away, going for her Colonial Viper]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Lord help us!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: All right, fly in pairs. Wingmen, stick to your leaders. Protect them!
- [more to himself]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: We may have a chance!
- Lieutenant Deitra: [confidently] Starbuck, we'll ionize them!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: They've seen us!
- Lieutenant Athena: [as hordes of Cylon Raiders come streaming in] Eighty, ninety, hundred...
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Athena, quit counting! You're not on the bridge.
- [Cylons Raiders swoop down on Colonial fighters]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Let's go get 'em!
- Lieutenant Deitra: [laser taps, explosion] Gemi got hit! Watch out! Brie, there's one on your tail!
- Lieutenant Brie: [explosion, Cylons almost score hit] Breaking!
- [evades narrowly, her Viper hurtling upwards, rocked by the blast]
- Lieutenant Deitra: It's hopeless, Starbuck!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Deitra, roll! Roll!
- Lieutenant Deitra: [they come on] We're trapped!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Well, let's go out fighting!
