- Lt. Anastasia Dualla: All we can do is make plans for the future. We have to survive. We have to find Earth. If we don't, they'll be no one to remember a man named William Adama. Or a Battlestar named Galactica. That is our charge to keep.
- Admiral William Adama: I guess you didn't understand my orders, huh?
- Commander Lee 'Apollo' Adama: Never could read your handwriting.
- Commander Lee 'Apollo' Adama: [Lee has just ordered the crew of the Pegasus to abandon ship and has also set the ship on a collision course with the nearest base star. He is walking out of the CIC, stops, turns around and is clearly very emotional, quietly says] Thank you.
- Admiral William Adama: [the Galactica is facing 4 Base Stars alone and is taking salvo after salvo of missiles. Adama has just been told that the FTL has been knocked out and the Galactica is taking heavy damage] . Then that's it.
- [He looks around at the crew in the CIC]
- Admiral William Adama: It's been an honor.
- Commander Lee 'Apollo' Adama: [Camera pulls back to show 4 Base Stars firing on a crippled Galactica. Then the Pegasus flies in and starts firing on the Base Stars. Lee radios Galactica] Galactica, Pegasus. Let us take some of this work off your hands. Get your FTL up and ready and we will take care of he rest.
- [to Pegasus crew]
- Commander Lee 'Apollo' Adama: All right, fire up that main battery!
- Admiral William Adama: [Angry that Lee disobeyed his orders to take the remaining civilians and run] Damn you Lee! Start working on those FTL's and get them on line. Cylons will re-deploy as soon as they recover.
- [Looks at the DRADIS screen and sees the Base Stars start moving away. Whispers quietly]
- Admiral William Adama: Thank you Lee.
- Lt. Anastasia Dualla: [Looks at the DRADIS and sees the Base Stars changing positions] They are coming about, maneuvering to bracket us.
- Commander Lee 'Apollo' Adama: Steady as she goes. Take us right into the center.
- Lt. Anastasia Dualla: [the Pegasus starts taking hits, Dee looks Lee in the eye. Quietly says] We won't last long in there.
- Commander Lee 'Apollo' Adama: [Looks back at Dee, quietly says] No...
- Ellen Tigh: I got you out of detention, Saul. It was me. I got you out. I went to see them, the Cylons. I finally got to the one in charge and I got him to notice me, the way men notice me. I slept with him and I felt like puking every time he put his filthy hands on me. But I smiled, and I faked it, to save you, Saul. But you listen to me. I'd do it again. Frak anybody! Do anything! Even give them the map.
- Lt. Felix Gaeta: [pointing a pistol at Baltar] I believed in you!
- Number Six: Whoa, whoa, Gaeta.
- Lt. Felix Gaeta: I believed in the dream of New Caprica.
- Number Six: Gaeta, we all did.
- Lt. Felix Gaeta: No! No. Not him. He believed in the dream of Gaius Baltar. The good life. Booze, pills, hot and cold running interns. You led us to the Apocalypse...
- Admiral William Adama: You did it. You brought 'em home.
- Colonel Saul Tigh: Not all of them.
- Admiral William Adama: I'm sorry.
- Admiral William Adama: [Adama is walking through the hanger bay after the battle to rescue the people off of New Caprica and trys to greet all the people he has rescued. He very emotionally says to all of them] Welcome Aboard.
- Brendan 'Hot Dog' Costanza: [about to launch from a freefalling Galactica] Well, this oughta be different.
- Laura Roslin: Tom, you go that way. Head to the shipyard.
- Tom Zarek: You're coming, right?
- Laura Roslin: [points to Colonial One] My ship's up there.
- Lt . Louis Hoshi: [as a red hot Galactica falls towards New Caprica just before it releases the Viper fighters] Altitude 90,000 and falling like a rock!
