Lorne Greene: Adama

Quotes 

• Chief Opposer Solon : [Solon has Cassiopeia on the witness stand]  What did he say?

  Cassiopeia : Uh... I can't remember.

  Chief Opposer Solon : You can't remember what Starbuck, with whom you have a relationship, you can't remember what he said?

  Lieutenant Boomer : [interrupting]  Just a centon! I mean, he... he, the opposer... I mean eh, the opposer has not proved that such a relationship exists.

  Commander Adama : [sighs]  Not quite properly protested, but allowed.

• Colonel Tigh : [Adama and Tigh are watching a game of Triad on a viewscreen]  Are you sure you don't want to go to court and watch the rest from the gallery? It's just a short walk down the corridor.

  Commander Adama : Ah, but these seats are more much comfortable. We have good Ambrosa and good company, huh?

  Colonel Tigh : [disappointed]  Yes, of course.

• Commander Adama : One laser blast to the heart. He must have been dead before he started to fall.

• Commander Adama : Our scouts have sent back word of yet another planet along the coordinates given to us by our mysterious super race. More and more often, the planets we come across bear signs of the lost thirteenth tribe. We are getting closer to Earth. And once we have plotted her precise location, we will carefully formulate a plan for observing and sampling her culture. Too sudden an appearance from their relations in space could send our sister world into a wave of culture shock from which she might never recover. And are the inhabitants of Earth far in advance of us in their development or merely primitive animals fallen from a greater time? I feel we will soon know.
