- Imperious Leader: Welcome, Baltar. I have grave news. A handful of Colonials prevail, but we will soon find them.
- Baltar: What of our bargain? My colony was to be spared!
- 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.
