Maren Jensen: Lieutenant Athena

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Athena : Hmm, Starbuck, these mushies are just heavenly.

  [offers him one] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Oh, er, no thanks.

  Lieutenant Athena : Too bad we can't have any fresh protein with them...

• Lieutenant Starbuck : [the two-timer expecting Cassiopeia, but...]  Uh. Athena.

  Lieutenant Athena : I managed to get off work after all.

  [he weighs up his chances] 

  Lieutenant Athena : I just didn't want you to be alone on your last night before...

  [he gives slight guffaw] 

  Lieutenant Athena : You are alone, aren't you?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Uhm... uhm... uhm... Not any longer!

  [she leans in for a kiss] 

  Waiter : [appearing in doorway, bemused]  Sir?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Yes? Ah.

  [grabs way out] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Listen, uh, there, ah... You don't happen to have a room with a better view? There's a sanitation ship right off our beam.

  [Athena searches for it] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Not exactly appetizing scenery.

  Lieutenant Athena : A sanitation ship? Where?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : It must have drifted back, uh, I think there's a first orbit cadet at the controls.

  [plying the waiter with a golden cubit, insistently urging:] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Get me another room!

  Waiter : Yes, Sir, I quite understand.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Good.

  Waiter : [waits, knowingly, gets another cubit]  Follow me.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Er... Athena?

  [offers her his hand, hurriedly leads her away]
