Quotes 

• Count Baltar : I know you! I remember that voice.

  Count Iblis : Do you?

  Count Baltar : The voice of the Cylon Imperious Leader.

  Count Iblis : But the Cylons are machines.

  Count Baltar : Yes now. But they were once a race of being who allowed themselves to be overcome by their own technology.

  Count Iblis : And when did this happen?

  Count Baltar : A thousand yahrens ago. At the onset of the thousand yahren war against the humans.

  Count Iblis : Then my voice would have to have been transcribed into a machine leader a thousand yahrens ago. I'd have to be a thousand yahrens old. Do not fear, my friend. All is not lost.

• Count Iblis : [about Lieutenant Sheba]  Let her go, I command it!

  Captain Apollo : You command no one who does not willingly give you dominion! You have no power over me!

  Count Iblis : [sensing danger for the first time]  You know who I am.

  Captain Apollo : Yes, I finally know. Sheba, think back to the ancient records. The names Mephistopheles, Diabolus, the Prince of Darkness.

• Lieutenant Sheba : [overly relaxed mood, very unusual for her]  Starbuck, Apollo, you don't seem to get the point. Look, we're all saved, so relax.

  [giggles] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : Come on, Apollo. Why don't you let me offer you a little consolation?

  Count Iblis : [coming nearer, grinning]  What a wonderful idea.

  [as she goes off with Apollo, turns to Starbuck:] 

  Count Iblis : They make a handsome couple.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Really? I, er... somehow had the impression you were interested in Sheba for yourself.

  Count Iblis : Why should she be limited to one man? Or you and I to one woman?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Hmm. I get the feeling I might like this place you come from.

  Count Iblis : I can see you and I are gonna be soul mates.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : What is it? What's wrong, Count?

  Count Iblis : Nothing's wrong.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Then why do you look so worried? Did you break some kind of rule?

  Count Iblis : It's time for me to go.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Why? What happened? Was it within your dominion to strike down a follower? A soul given to you freely, but not an innocent? A spirit whose *life* you took against his will?

  Count Iblis : No one has dominion over me!

  Lieutenant Sheba : [spitefully]  I wonder.

  Count Iblis : I am not finished with you mortals. There will come another time, another place. And we will meet again.

• Count Iblis : There were to be two more elements to our bargain - one, that I should lead you to Earth and the other was to be decided amongst yourselves.

• Commander Adama : Iblis! Who is attacking us? What are they, what are you?

  Count Iblis : I have told you all you are capable of comprehending.

• Count Baltar : That voice. There's something about your voice. I've heard it before.

  Count Iblis : It is the voice of truth. It will lead these people as it has led you to surrender to their justice.

• Commander Adama : I left orders that I was not to be disturbed.

  Count Iblis : You have sent your son in search of my identity.

  Commander Adama : You told us your identity.

  Count Iblis : When a mortal breaks a bargain with me, there is a high price to be paid.

  Commander Adama : I don't believe in you, Count Iblis, as did these poor souls who were destroyed on your ship on the planet. They followed you and they paid the price.

  Count Iblis : There is a price that you will pay: a life meaningful to you than your own.
