Doctor Cottle: Your doctor back on Caprica was right, it's too damn late to operate. The cancer is too far in advance. All we can do is now is try and shrink the tumor with gamma treatments and follow that up with IV cis-Diloxin. Did he explain to you the side effects of Diloxin?
President Laura Roslin: Hair loss, nausea, muscle degeneration. I watched my mother endure two years of Diloxin before she died. I would like to explore alternate treatments.
Cottle: Prayer?
Roslin: Witty. Have you heard of chamalla extract?
Cottle: Oh Gods, you're one of those.
Roslin: What if it works?
Cottle: All evidence on chamalla is anecdotal. It's nothing but a bunch of loose talk and false hope.
Roslin: I'd take that as a yes.
Cottle: All right. I'll put out a med request to the civilian Fleet. Maybe there's some other wide eyed dreamer out there with a secret horde of chamalla extract in their luggage...And for what it's worth, I would seriously consider prayer.
