Richard Hatch: Captain Apollo

Quotes 

• Computer voice : There is no profile on anyone named Karibdis, K.a.r.i.b.d.i.s.

  Lieutenant Boomer : [to Apollo]  Maybe you misspelled it.

  Computer voice : Or on anyone who's name is phonetically spelled like Karibdis.

  Captain Apollo : [to Boomer]  You think Barton lied?

  Computer voice : I cannot answer that question without further input. I would have to know what Barton...

  Captain Apollo : [interrupting]  I wasn't speaking to you.

  Computer voice : Sorry.

  Captain Apollo : That's all right. I mean, that's all. Thank you.

  Computer voice : You're welcome.

• Count Baltar : You must take me as a fool. The affection Karibdis had for me was akin to that of a son for a father. He would never be a threat to my life.

  Captain Apollo : Then why is he onboard this shuttle?

  [Baltar looks back into the shuttle, and sees nothing] 

  Count Baltar : I don't believe you. If he were onboard this shuttle it would be for one reason, to kill you.

  Captain Apollo : You're right. First. Then he'll kill you with my laser. It will look like you jumped me and in the struggle we both killed each other.

  Count Baltar : And how would he explain that I did such a thing while wearing shackles?

  Captain Apollo : He'll remove them, after you're dead.

• Lieutenant Boomer : These computers get more complicated every yahren.

  Captain Apollo : Yes, but Dr. Wilker makes them simpler to operate.

• Count Baltar : You're a wonder, Captain. Instead of offering me freedom to identify Karibdis, you offer me... my life. How touching.

  Captain Apollo : It's your only chance.

  Count Baltar : You mean Lieutenant Starbuck's only chance.

  Captain Apollo : That may be true, but I'm betting your instinct for survival is stronger than your desire to see Starbuck convicted for a crime he didn't commit.

• Captain Apollo : Starbuck, Adama will send Vipers after you!

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Well, I'll deal with that when the time comes!

  Captain Apollo : And then what are you going to do? Fire on Sheba, or Boomer, or me?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : If I have to, yes. Now get off.

  Captain Apollo : I don't think you have the guts to do that, anymore than you have the guts to face that tribunal.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : I didn't kill Ortega!

  Captain Apollo : Then trust me! Give me the chance to prove you didn't!

  Lieutenant Starbuck : You've had you say, now get off... or I'll take you down that launch tube with me.

  Captain Apollo : Okay, but I never thought I'd see Starbuck run from anything!
