Apollo: Set main batteries to auto-fire cycle B! Lock engines ahead flank! [into announcement system] This is the Commander: abandon ship, abandon ship! All hands, abandon ship. Report to evac Raptors and jump to rendezvous point! Good work, and I'll see you on the other side.
Dualla: All right, people, let's move! Out! Let's go! [turns to see Apollo lingering at his station] You too, Commander.
Apollo: Yes, sir. [starts to leave, but pauses to take one last look at the CIC; addressing the ship herself] Thank you.

[In the mess room, Gaeta just tried to explain to Starbuck his role as a Resistance source while working for Baltar. All the while, crew members walk out of the hall, not interested in his monologue]
Starbuck: You're right Felix, you're a frakking hero.
Starbuck: You're right Felix, you're a frakking hero.
[Lampkin is defending Baltar]
Lampkin: It's obvious my client is guilty. He's a traitor. And a killer. He's no better than a Cylon and what do we do with them?
Audience: Throw them out the airlock!
Lampkin: That's right! Throw them out the airlock. This man sold us to our enemy. This man is our enemy and if there's one thing that is good in a war, that is right and just and proper: it's slaughtering our enemy! Getting some righteous payback!

[Lampkin is limping along the corridor after the trial]
Lee: Romo, one thing. When you put me on the stand, did you know what was gonna happen?
Lampkin: [Stops walking] I knew you were an honest man, Mister Adama. Much unlike your grandfather. [Leaves his cane, puts on his sunglasses, smiles and walks away without any limp]

[Lampkin visits Caprica Six]
Caprica Six: Did he ask about me? Gaius?
Lampkin: [removes his sunglasses] He wanted to know if you're well. He wanted you to know that he misses you.. Loves you. Because he can't be here to tell you, he gave me this, a gift to you. [takes out Baltar's pen and gives it to Six] He uses that at the risk of grave reprisal to express his feelings, to put his world into some kind of recognizable order. To be heard. He's kept it hidden because he knows he will not get another. [Caprica Six takes the pen and caresses it] He wants you to have it. Because without you it has no meaning. He wants you to have it because he would do anything, ANYTHING to be with you again.
Caprica Six: Well, that's a shame isn't it? [gives back the pen] Since they'll never let me keep it.
Lampkin: You understand that your days are owned and tallied by those people, the ones out there watching us. [points to the glass] I think you realize what's likely to become of you. I couldn't help you if they paid me ten times what they offered me for Baltar. You won't get a trial. Not even a bad one. So I have to ask you, does your love hurt as much as mine?

[Lee Adama just found out from Admiral Adama that Starbuck and Anders got married earlier in the morning. Lee sees the newlyweds coming to him.]
Anders: Hey, man. Did you hear the news? We're hitched. We got married. Can you believe it?
Apollo: No. No, I can't believe it.
Anders: Yeah. No, it was crazy. She comes down, and she wakes me up. She pops the question, she drags me down to the priest, and, bang, like that, we're married.
Apollo: So it was your idea.
Starbuck: Yeah. It was my idea.
Anders: Do you guys...Do you guys want a minute to, uh, you know, talk?
Apollo: Congratulations, Sam.
Anders: Yeah.
Apollo: And good luck. You're gonna need it.
[Apollo immediately walks over to Dualla and begins kissing her. Flashing back to the fight, both Starbuck and Apollo are bloody and exhausted, but still throwing punches at each other between flashes of memories. Finally, they embrace, both in flashes of memories and in the ring, in front of Dualla, Sam, and everyone watching the fight.]

[Lee asks Adama about Roslin]
Adama: After what you did to Tigh, you're the last person I'd confide in.
Lee: Me? I didn't do anything to Tigh. He was drunk. It's really not my fault.
Adama: You told Lampkin about Ellen.
Lee: I didn't even know about Ellen.
Adama: Yeah, right.
Lee: You're calling me a liar?
Adama: I'm calling you a liar and a coward. One who doesn't have the guts to go after the man himself. Instead you hand the shiv to a stranger. Let him stab Tigh in the back. And for what? Traitor, piece of garbage, Gaius Baltar. Doesn't even deserve a trial.

Adama: I refuse to have a man who has none.
[Lee sees an unknown ship close by. It turns out to be a Viper MKII, with someone familiar in the cockpit]
Starbuck: Hi Lee.
Lee: Kara?
Starbuck: [laughs] Don't freak out, it really is me. It's gonna be okay, I've been to Earth. I know where it is, and I'm gonna take us there.
Razor [4.01/4.02]

[Lieutenant Anastasia "Dee" Dualla talking to Adama about his actions after being shot by Boomer.]
Anastasia "Dee" Dualla: I don't think the problem is that you've been betrayed, I think its that you feel helpless. You were shot, you were injured, and when you finally had a chance to do something, you let us down. You made a promise, to all of us...

[Lt. Gaeta is starting to lose his composure under constant pressure.]

Gaeta: [shouting] It's not an excuse, sir. It's a frakking fact!

[Number Five (Aaron Doral) and Number Six have trouble catching Caprica Sharon and Helo.]
Number Five: We've searched every street, every building. They slipped through. How's that possible?
Number Six: She thinks she loves him now. That she can't live without him. Her passion is making her more resourceful.
Number Five: It bothers you, doesn't it?
Number Six: We'll get them in the end.
Number Five: No, it bothers you that you've never experienced it.
Number Six: You saw the way Helo was when we took her away. He was pathetic.
Number Five: I can't help wondering what it would be like to feel that intensely. Even in his anguish he seemed so alive.
