Quotes:
From "Battlestar Galactica: Daybreak: Part 1 (#4.19)" (2009)
Admiral William Adama: [addressing the crew and civilians on the hangar deck] No one should feel obligated to join this mission in any way. This is a decision I have made for myself. If it turns out that there are not enough personnel to crew Galactica, I will lead a Raptor assault with anyone who is willing to join me. Let there be no illusions! This is likely to be a one-way trip! So don't volunteer out of sentiment or emotion. There is a line running down this deck. Volunteers, move to the starboard side; Everyone else, to the port. Make your choice! See more »
