Quotes 

• President Laura Roslin : Reality is that the Cylon Raider has been successfully jump-tested. Reality is that Cylon technology obviously outstrips our own. And reality is there is a good chance the Raider can jump all the way back to Caprica and retrieve that arrow and find our way to Earth. The real Earth.

  Commander William Adama : The Raider's a military asset. I won't use it to go chasing some mythical arrow. I'm sorry.

• Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : Can I ask you a question, boss?

  Commander William Adama : Shoot.

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : How much longer till we reach Earth?

  Commander William Adama : It's hard to say.

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : You got a guess?

  Commander William Adama : You know I don't like to guess.

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : Are we getting closer?

  Commander William Adama : I'm sure we are. Good luck on the next test.

• [last lines] 

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : I believed you. Believed in Earth.

  Commander William Adama : What are you doing, Starbuck?

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : Bringing home the cat, sir.

  Commander William Adama : We can talk about this.

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : No, I don't think so.

  Commander William Adama : I want you to remember one thing. I do not regret anything that I did. Be sure that whatever you're going to do, you don't regret it later. Do you understand me?

  Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace : I guess we'll find out.

  [Thrace uses the FTL computer to jump to Caprica] 

  Cpt. Lee 'Apollo' Adama : Galactica, Apollo. Starbuck has jumped away. Repeat, Starbuck has jumped away.

  Colonel Saul Tigh : She wasn't scheduled for a jump test! Where the hell did she go?

  Commander William Adama : Home.
