- Quotes
Leoben Conoy: [Starbuck storms into the storage hold after Leoben's ship springs a leak and explodes. She locks the door] I heard and explosion. Are you all right?
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [She backhands him knocking him to the floor] What'd you do? Blow the tylium stores?
Leoben Conoy: That's the Kara I used to know.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: The Raider's in pieces, you mother-fracker!
[She kicks him savagely. Then throws him back into a sitting position]
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Sgt. Mathias is dead. Not that you give a damn!
[She punches him as hard as she can in the face]
Leoben Conoy: You can't think that I had anything to do with that.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: I wasn't even on the deck. I was too busy believing you instead of watching out for my crew.
Leoben Conoy: My ship was under fire.
[Pants]
Leoben Conoy: The reactor could've been damaged.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [Grabbing him by the shirt,screaming] It was a setup.
[Shakes him]
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Say it!
Leoben Conoy: [Turns his head and spits blood] Hit me. Hit me again.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: You used me to get close to the ship.
Leoben Conoy: How many times did you kill me on New Caprica? Don't stop now.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Frak you.
[Pulls back her fist to strike him again]
Leoben Conoy: Go on, do it.
[Her fist is drawn back, shaking]
Leoben Conoy: I won't comeback this time, I promise. Resurrection ship's well out of range. Go on, do it. DO IT!
[Starbuck grunts in frustration and pushes him back against the bulkhead. She stands there and looks at him]
Leoben Conoy: It doesn't help, does it?
[She slowly collapses and sits on the floor]
Leoben Conoy: Nothing feels quite like it did before. Does it?
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [Holding her temples] What are you doing to me?
Leoben Conoy: All of your life, you forced back the truth by lashing out at everyone around you. Anesthetizing yourself with ambrosia and empty affairs. But you've lost the taste for those petty things.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: I'm the same person.
Leoben Conoy: No. There's a void, an emptiness that can only be filled by taking the next step on your journey.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: What happened to me the two months I was missing?
Leoben Conoy: I don't know.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: The mandala, the paintings, my mother. It had to mean something.
Leoben Conoy: You have to make peace with your past.
Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Why?
Leoben Conoy: Because that part of you is gone. I told you when I first came aboard this ship that you had changed. I look at you now. I don't see Kara Thrace. I see an angel blazing with the light of God, an angel eager to lead her people home.
