- Lieutenant Starbuck: Baltar, Nomen and the Enforcers. Well, er, at least we got all our enemies in the same place.
- Captain Apollo: Including the Council.
- Count Baltar: When we reach the Alliance, I'll be welcomed with open arms. I'll be treated like a prince. And so will those who are with me.
- Maga: Your record to date does not exactly inspire confidence.
- Count Baltar: I, eh, I had incompetent followers.
- Maga: We do not follow, Baltar.
- Count Baltar: Oh, no. No, no. Of course not. We're all comrades... in this together.
- Maga: Good. When the time comes to escape, we will momentarily die.
- Count Baltar: [clearly shocked] Die you said?
- Maga: We do many things to survive... even die.
- Maga: [having dispatched all the guards in a matter of microns] Captivity has slowed our reflexes. They will improve now that we are free.
- Commander Adama: Siress Tinia, I can't allow a shuttle to carry prisoners without precaution.
- Siress Tinia: I realize that, commander, but Council security will be quite suficient.
- Colonel Tigh: Council security couldn't prevent an escape from the orphan ship.
- Commandant Leiter: Forgive me, Commander, but for a technically advanced people, you really are quite ignorant.
- Captain Apollo: [listening inside from outside the cell] I could grow to dislike this man.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: What do you mean, grow to?
- 4th Guard: When we land, you two are to stay in the cockpit. Council orders.
- Lieutenant Boomer: Next you'll be telling me I need Council permission to use the turbo-flush.
- Commandant Leiter: The Eastern Alliance is the strongest force in the universe. We were created to rule all life as far as it extends and in whatever form, throughout the universe. It is our destiny.
- Security Officer Reese: Well, I'm glad to see you're in such a good mood today, Baltar. You have mess duty again.
- Lieutenant Sheba: [referring to the shaken up security officers] They're as pale as an Orion moon.
- [laughs]
- Lieutenant Boomer: Serves them right.
- Count Baltar: The micron the hatch opens, you and your men will eliminate all guards and take as many hostages as possible.
- Commandant Leiter: Don't worry. We are very good at such operations.
- Count Baltar: I'm sure you are. Maga, you and your Nomen follow me to the lift. We can be on the bridge in a matter of microns.
- Maga: And once we control the bridge...
- Count Baltar: We control the Galactica!
- Commander Adama: [communicating over the intercom] Do you think for one centon I believe you?
- Count Baltar: You don't have a choice, Adama. If my demands are not followed to the letter within one centare, I'll kill these hostages one by one in front of you. Beginning with Lieutenant Boomer.
- Lieutenant Sheba: [when the security officers point out how the Colonial Warriors brought the Alliance troops back as prisoners] Well, maybe that's why you, the Council and this entire fleet are still alive.
- Count Baltar: [sizes up his opposition] Well now, Lieutenant Boomer! How nice to see you. Too bad Starbuck and Apollo aren't here. I could settle all my debts at once.
- Commander Adama: Since the return of our warriors with the prisoners from the Alliance of the planet Terra, the fleet has been in a state of constant confusion. If this Terra is in fact the planet Earth it is we seek, our flight across the universe may have been in vain. For we will have eluded the Cylons only to be faced by an equally oppressive human enemy. As usual of late, the Council, led by Sire Domra, is in total opposition to me. They wish to release the prisoners and to have an unarmed peace envoy with them to their outpost on Lunar Seven. I am afraid that the Council is bent on repeating the same mistakes that led to the destruction of our colonies at the hands of the Cylons. I am determined that shall not happen again so long as I am in command. In the meantime, I have ordered the fleet to full alert and taken a shuttle to the prison barge to interrogate personally the Eastern Alliance enforcers.
