Quotes 

• Lieutenant Sheba : Where in heaven's name are we?

  Captain Apollo : [climbing into the chair]  As high as you can get on the Galactica. We're directly over the main thrusters.

  [he starts pushing comm buttons] 

  Captain Apollo : It's a great spot to get away from everyone to think.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : A cozy little place like this could be used for more than just thinking.

  Cassiopeia : [giggles]  Starbuck!

• Captain Apollo : [Apollo, Starbuck and Sheba are exploring the planets of an unknown solar system]  The first planet's a giant. 80% compressed hydrogen, 12% helium, no lifeforms. But it sure is pretty.

  Lieutenant Sheba : So's number two. Beautiful but deadly. The atmosphere is almost totally comprised of compressed carbon dioxide. No lifeforms.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Well, leave it to me to get the ugly one. No atmosphere, just barren rock. No life could possibly...

  [computer bleeps] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Wait!

  Captain Apollo : What is it?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : I'm picking up something. Just rising on the back side of the planet. Oh, no. No!

  Captain Apollo : Starbuck?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Get out of here! It's a Cylon basestar!

• Commander Adama : [Cylon base star looming]  I thought we'd lost them for good.

  Lieutenant Sheba : We all did, Commander.

• Lieutenant Sheba : Ever since you've lost Serina, you've taken every high-risk mission on the board.

  Captain Apollo : Serina has nothing to do with it.

  Lieutenant Sheba : She was a very lovely woman, Apollo... but she's dead.

  Captain Apollo : Can we just drop this?

  Lieutenant Sheba : No, we can't just drop it. What do you think? You have the corner on loneliness here?

  Captain Apollo : I'm... I'm sorry.

  Lieutenant Sheba : [tearfully]  It's all right. I guess we have kind of been at each other's throats ever since the moment we met.

  Captain Apollo : Yeah, I guess we have.

  Lieutenant Sheba : Except for lately. You've kind of included me in your... tight little circle of friends... and I appreciate that, Apollo.

  Captain Apollo : [looking down]  Yeah, well, uhm... I realized I'd been a little hard on you.

  Lieutenant Sheba : Did you ever think about the fact that... maybe two people who snap at each other for no reason, are doing it to avoid their real feelings?

  [her hand guides his face towards her] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : I've thought about it quite a bit.

  [she kisses him] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : Be careful.
