Captain Kara Thrace: You know the President says that we're saving humanity for a bright, shiny future. On Earth. That you and I are never gonna see. We're not. Because we go out over and over again until someday, some metal mother frakker is gonna catch us on a bad day and just blow us away.
Captain Lee Adama: Bright, shiny futures are overrated anyway.
Thrace: That is why we gotta get what we can. Right now.
