The Young Lords[edit]

Taken from the original script:

  • This is the complete conversation that takes place between Starbuck and Boomer at the beginning.
Starbuck: "Boomer. I just reached a big decision. And I feel you should be the first to know."
Boomer: "There's only two of us out here."
Starbuck: (looks off) "See that red star forty degrees to port?"
Boomer: "Gotcha. What's the big decison?"
Starbuck: "I was staring at it... and from out of the blue, the words of my ol' flight instructor came back to me. (imitates old flight instructor) Starbuck, a Viper pilot only flies three Vipers; the one he trains in; the one he escapes from... and the one he dies in."
Boomer: (irritated) "Starbuck, it's been a long mission. You're tired."
Starbuck: "Gambling and socializing between alerts. That's the big decision. (beat) I'm giving them up."
Boomer: "The gambling...? A tiny maybe. But the socializing...? Uh, uh. (shakes his head) Not a chance."
Starbuck: "D'you wanna bet?"
Boomer: (suddenly alert) "Starbuck... the scanner!"
And then the Cylons attack.
  • As soon as Spectre orders the remaining Cylon raider to return to base, Boomer comes from behind and destroys it.
Boomer: (looks back over his shoulder) "That's for Starbuck."
  • In Adama's bed chambers, after Cassiopea says,
Cassiopea: "You won't be for long if you don't get some sleep",
Adama: (looking at Apollo) "Why people feel the compulsive need to continually offer advice to the sick is beyond me."
Cassiopea: "Because some people are too stubborn to take it!"
  • After Apollo says that he and Boomer will take a shuttle to go after Starbuck,
Adama: (looking at Athena and Cassiopea), "I don't suppose you could use an extra pilot and med tech?"
Apollo: (laughs) "No, sir."
