Quotes 

• Commander Cain : Her name is Cassiopeia

  [Cain turns on a hologram recording] 

  Cassiopeia : [hologram]  I'll never forget you, you old wardaggit. Hurry back.

  Commander Cain : [Starbuck and Apollo are stunned]  Well I can see she has the same effect on you that she's always had on me.

• Commander Cain : [after the hologram of Cassiopeia]  Uh, speaking of lovely ladies, you've met my daughter.

  [Starbuck looks surprised] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : [hologram]  Happy birthday, Father. I love you.

  Captain Apollo : [shakes his head]  I'm sure that if I met that young lady, I'd know it.

  Commander Cain : You met her. She was the pilot that almost flew you right out of your britches.

  [proudly:] 

  Commander Cain : Like father, like daughter.

• Commander Cain : [refering to Commander Adama]  Well, how is he? How is that old Modocker?

  Captain Apollo : Well, considering a load he's carried since the destruction of our nation.

  Commander Cain : Yes, yes, I should imagine. And the rest of the fleet?

  Captain Apollo : Only the Galactica survives, sir. Along with some 220 odd ships carrying what's left of our people.

  Commander Cain : My God, and I thought we had it bad. Only 220 ships left from all the Colonies?

  Captain Apollo : Yes, sir.

• Commander Cain : Well, my friends, our troubles are over.

  Captain Apollo : How do you mean, sir?

  Commander Cain : Tomorrow, we go on the offensive. We'll show those golmonging Cylons how to fight now! Yes, by the Lords of Kobol, the Cylon Empire is about to fall!

• Commander Cain : [over the intercom]  Greetings, Adama, you old wardaggit. Might've known I'd find you and your fleet sitting dead on your astrums.

  Commander Adama : Cain? Of all that's holy.

  Commander Cain : [over the intercom]  There's nothing holy about me, Adama, Except maybe what I'm doing to those golmonging Cylons.

  Commander Adama : It's a miracle Cain, a blessed miracle.

  Commander Cain : [over the intercom]  I make my own miracles. But have it your way. I'll be aboard in a few centons

  Commander Adama : I'll have some vintage Ambrosa for you.

  Commander Cain : [over the intercom]  I should think so.

• Commander Cain : Hades' hole, Adama! Just give me a couple of your best squadrons and I'll take that fuel base myself.

• Cassiopeia : What about Sheba?

  Commander Cain : She's developed into one of the best warriors in the fleet.

  Cassiopeia : She's gonna be very unhappy that I've returned from the dead.

  Commander Cain : Children don't understand the needs that a man can have at different times in his life.

• Captain Apollo : We're going against the whole base?

  Commander Cain : I don't think we have any choice now. Do we?

  Commander Adama : Events seem to have left us very few alternatives.

• Commander Cain : Anything is possible. But I prefer to deal with the probable.

• Commander Cain : Come, my sweet Cassiopeia.

  [they sit down for a drink] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : [regarding the couple wryly]  If you'll excuse me, I think I've had enough combat for now.

  Cassiopeia : [as Sheba leaves]  Nothing changes.

  Commander Cain : Everything changes.

  Cassiopeia : Not people.

• Captain Apollo : [going after them]  Sheba! I would like to talk to you.

  Lieutenant Sheba : [knowing only too well what this is about]  I was just about to join my father...

  Commander Cain : No, that's all right. Cassiopeia and I will save you a place.

  [they go on ahead] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : [emotionally]  Look, I don't feel that well, I think that I...

  [he places his hand on her shoulder] 

  Captain Apollo : What happened out there? To those tankers?

  Lieutenant Sheba : [defensively]  You heard the report, they were hit by incidental fire.

  Captain Apollo : You're telling me that someone as good as you are, as good as Silver Spur Squadron is, blew the whole purpose of this mission out of the stars by accident?

  Lieutenant Sheba : [teary-eyed]  Yes, that's what I'm saying.

  Captain Apollo : Well, then we have found a weakness or two, haven't we, Lieutenant?

  [walks past her, leaving her looking after him uncertainly]
