Paradise Valley Savings and Loan

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
(Redirected from United California Bank)
The bank that Dillon inadvertently robs from.

Across from a JCPenney department store, Dillon attempts to exchange gold (auric) cubits for United States currency at the Paradise Valley Savings and Loan[1]. However, this goes awry after bank teller Kellie Love assumes the worst, believing coins that Dillon gives her are stolen, seeing as there are no markings. The situation here spirals out of control after Dillon stuns Harry, a nearby bank guard, and she gives him both the cubits and thousands of U.S. dollars—believing that he's robbing the bank. Despite attempts to give the money back, which end up only scaring the teller further, Dillon flees the bank and heads back to the nearby department store (1980: "The Super Scouts, Part I").

Troy and Dillon later compensate for the theft by providing cubits, with the gold (auric) valued at twice the amount stolen (1980: "The Super Scouts, Part II").

It is money from this bank that appears to pay their way in the United States, as Dillon and Troy later let a mugger in New York City's Central Park know about this fact (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II").
