• 9 December:

"After reviewing your logs, it is my judgment that having your son as Galactica CAG has been a grave mistake. He's been 'insubordinate, even mutinous,' and these are direct quotes from your logs, by the way. And I dare say he's not the o­nly o­ne with disciplinary problems. There's a Kara Thrace who 'habitually strikes fellow officers and disobeys orders.' This Lieutenant Agathon has 'fraternized with and evidently impregnated an enemy agent.' Let's not even discuss your XO..."

Chief Galen Tyrol: (checking Starbuck's Viper) Captain, how did you land this thing?
Captain Kara Thrace: Pointed it towards the deck and stopped when I got here.
Lieutenant Brendan Costanza: Bone-dry, she says. Landed the bird without a drop of fuel.
Major Lee Adama: (walking up to Kara) If you want to die, I will open up an airlock for you, but you are not taking one of my Vipers with you.
Kara Thrace: The bird's on the deck. I'm on the deck. I don't know what you're bitching about.
Lee Adama: I don't give a frak what you do, Starbuck. You're done flying.

--Torn

• 12 December:

"After they attacked, I never...I never pined over any of my old crap. Never missed (my apartment in Delphi). Stupid view of the parking lot. Broken toilet in the bathroom. You know, everyone I know... is fighting to get back what they had. And I'm fighting 'cause I don't know how to do anything else."
--Kara Thrace (Valley of Darkness)

• 13 December:

Colonel Saul Tigh: Oh, couple'a hours rack time does sounds awfully sweet right about now.

Commander William Adama: You deserve it.
Tigh: Like hell. Truth is, all this has me feeling... well, more alive than I have in years.
Adama: You look that way too. It's good to see you without the cup in your hand.
Tigh: Ehh, don't start.
Adama: But I know there's a whole lot of people aboard this ship that wish you weren't feeling as good as you are.
Tigh: If the crew doesn't hate the XO then he's not doing his job. Besides, gotta make the old man look good.
Adama: I always look good.
Tigh: Did you look in the mirror?
Adama: Seriously...
Tigh: Sir.
Adama: It's o­ne thing to push the crew, it's another thing to break 'em.

--33

Lt. Kara Thrace: What was that middle part again?
Adama: Hmm? What do you mean?
Thrace: Did you say you love me?
Adama: (Laughs nervously) Well, um--
Thrace: Lee Adama loves me.
Adama: No, all I meant was--
Thrace: No. Seriously. Very sweet. You love me.
Adama: (Laughs nervously)
Thrace: (in a mock pouting tone) No, you love me. You can't take it back. There's no take-backs.

--Home, Part I

• 16 December:

In the rec room on Galactica:

Karl Agathon: (referring to the rescue on New Caprica) Hey, we all made sacrifices.
Saul Tigh: Is that so?
Agathon: Yes, that's right.
Tigh: Well, while you were pinning wings on your Cylon girlfriend, our people were strapping homemade bombs to their chests, doing what they could to take the bastards out. So forgive me if I don't get all misty over your sacrifices.

Roslin: Go ask him.
Starbuck: I will.

Imperious Leader: I now alter the bargain.
Baltar: How can you change one side of a bargain?
Imperious Leader: When there is no other side. You have missed the entire point of the war.
Baltar: But I have no ambitions against you!
Imperious Leader: Could you think me so foolish as to trust a man who would see his own race destroyed?
Baltar: Not destroyed, subjugated, under me.
Imperious Leader: There can be no survivors. So long as one human remains alive, the Alliance is threatened.
Baltar: Surely you don't mean me?
Imperious Leader: We thank you for your help, Baltar. Your time is at an end.

--Saga of a Star World
