Take the Celestra/Deleted scenes

Take The Celestra

From the original script:

• After Adama says to Kronus,

  Adama: "You burned that into my brain when I was your aid"

Charka steps up to the two men.

Charka: "Excuse me, Commander. Your pilot is here. The shuttle is ready whenever you are."

Kronus: "We'll leave shortly, Charka."

Then we see Starbuck, Apollo, and Boomer.

Boomer: (chuckling) "I though Tigh was going to blast right out of his boots!"

Apollo: "Well, breaking formation isn't exactly part of the military code."

Starbuck: "A centon sooner and I might've caught her."

His eyes widen as he spots something. HIS POINT OF VIEW - Aurora standing near the door.

Starbuck: (o.s.) "There she is!"

As Starbuck hurriedly pushes through the crowd, Apollo and Boomer share a look.

Boomer: "Well, I'll be! It is Aurora!"

Apollo: "Yeah. Let's not interrupt."

• After Starbuck walks away from Cassiopea to go after Aurora, Sheba joins Cassiopea as Starbuck stops after a few steps.

Sheba: "I couldn't help noticing. Did you interrupt something?"

Cassiopea: "Yeah. I guess I did."

• On the Galactica bridge, after Starbuck says to Apollo,

Starbuck: "I guess I thought you'd try to talk me out of it",

Apollo: (answers) "No. You wanna go, go. I just want to know why."

Starbuck: "I have to straighten something out."

Apollo: "Starbuck, why not just leave it alone?"

Starbuck: (a beat; then) "Because after seeing her, I think I still care about her... a lot."

Apollo: "I think maybe you and Cassiopea are getting so close, it's got you scared to death. I think maybe you're not running to Aurora... you're running away from Cassiopea."

Starbuck: "Look... buddy. Aurora already did a pretty good job of kicking me in the teeth today."

Apollo: "What makes you think she won't do it again?"

Starbuck: "Apollo, I gotta try."

Starbuck: (beat; brightens) "She's not mad at you. You could get her to listen."

• After Apollo tells Tigh that both he and Starbuck are going to the Celestra for a maintenance scan, Tigh asks,

Tigh: "What's wrong with your viper!?"

Apollo: "Same thing as Starbuck's."

As they move away, Tigh looks after them, puzzled.

Starbuck: "Thanks, buddy."

Apollo: "I hope it works out."

Starbuck: "It will... Aurora's really a very gentle and forgiving person."

• After Starbuck and Apollo close the canopies of their vipers so they can launch: ANGLE - SHEBA'S VIPER As Cassiopea moves past.

Sheba: "You aren't going to just let him go?"

Cassiopea: "I can't stop him."

Sheba: "But you know he's going over there to see her. Don't you care?"

Cassiopea: "I didn't say that. I said I can't stop him."

Sheba smiles gently at Cassiopea in understanding as Cassiopea moves to exit.

• On the shuttle, after Kronus says,

Kronus: "Exactly what I was thinking, Captain. Lock in on her ion trail and come up her exhaust",

Apollo: (answers) "We're going back, but not that way."

Kronus: "Are you disobeying a direct order!?"

Apollo: "With all due respect, sir, I'm piloting, so I'm in charge."

Kronus: "Captain!"

For a long beat, Kronus and Apollo lock eyes, then

Apollo: "Commander, your suggestion would work if..."

Original Series definition: a unit of time akin to a "minute"; in earlier episodes (e.g. "Saga of a Star World," "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I"), centon is used as the Colonial equivalent of a week before being retconned in later episodes
