- Lt. Sharon 'Athena' Agathon: How do you know? I mean, how do you really know that you can trust me?
- Admiral William Adama: I don't. That's what trust is.
- Chief Petty Officer Tyrol: [Chief Tyrol and Col. Tigh are arguing about the ethics of resisting the Cylon occupation] You know, we need to figure out whose side we're on.
- Col. Saul Tigh: Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
- Dr. Gaius Baltar: You don't need my signature.
- D'Anna Biers: Well, actually we do. We're here as allies and friends of the legitimate government of the colonies. You are the president so everything we do requires your signature.
- Brother Cavil: In other words, they are worried about what God might think if they commit murder. They are covering their existential asses!
- Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii: [Cally has been detained in a Cylon prison, and is visited by the reanimated, specific copy of Sharon Cylon-model that she shot and killed a year before] Hi Cally, it's me... Boomer.
- Crewman Specialist Cally: I wish I had a gun!
- Col. Saul Tigh: [to Laura Roslin] I've sent men on suicide missions in two wars now, and let me tell you something - it don't make a godsdamn bit of difference whether they're riding in a Viper or walking out onto a parade ground. In the end, they're just as dead.
- [pause]
- Col. Saul Tigh: So take your piety and your moralizing and your high-minded principles, and stick 'em some place safe until you're off this rock and you're sitting in your nice cushy chair on Colonial One again. I've got a war to fight.
- Number Six: Number Six: Sometimes you have to do things you hate, so you can survive to fight another day.
