Noteworthy Dialogue
In the bunk room, as Baltar interrupts Boomer’s second attempt on her life.
- Boomer (as she pretends to be cleaning her hand gun): What’s going on?
- Baltar (cautiously): Well, I was going to ask you the same question….Actually, I was looking for Lieutenant Thrace but, ah…(sitting alongside her on the bunk)…sometimes it’s good to, ah, talk these things over.
- Six (feigning pity): Deep down she knows she’s a Cylon, but her conscious mind just won’t accept it.
- Boomer: Sometimes I have these dark thoughts…
- Baltar: What kind of dark thoughts?
- Six: Her model is weak (she allows herself a knowing smile), always has been. But in the end she’ll carry out her mission.
- Boomer: I don’t know, but I’m afraid I’m going to hurt someone. I feel like I ought to be stopped.
- Six (moving to the other side of Boomer): She can’t be stopped. She’s a Cylon. (Pity entering her voice again) You can’t help her, Gaius…(tone turning to a sneer) but you could probably sleep with her.
(Baltar reacts with a look of disgust at Six.)
- Six: That’s what you want, right?
- Baltar (to Boomer): I’m not sure why….sometimes…we must embrace that which opens up for us.
- Boomer: Embrace?
- Baltar: Life can be a curse as well as a blessing.
(Six reacts in confusion; this is not what she expected to hear from Baltar.)
- Baltar (becoming more intense): You will believe me when I tell you: there are far worse things than death in this world…
- Boomer: So you’re saying…?
- Baltar: No. No, no, no. Ah…What I say…is meaningless. Listen to your heart. Embrace that which you know to be the right decision.
(They look at each other as Six regards Baltar with a look of complete incomprehension, then Baltar stands and kisses Boomer on the forehead before walking out of the bunkroom. Seconds later there is the sound of a single gunshot from inside.)
