Quotes 

• Commander Adama : A drop right into the heart of a Cylon capital. How did we ever become so desperate?

• Commander Adama : You realise I can relieve you of your command?

  Commander Cain : [over the intercom]  Adama, please. Don't make my last battle an act of mutiny. Send me in with your blessing.

  Commander Adama : [reluctantly]  My prayers go with you... and always serve you.

  Commander Cain : [over the intercom]  Thank you, Adama, thank you.

• Colonel Tigh : Sir, the incoming Cylon fleet has suddenly turned around and is headed back the other way. Cain is attacking all three baseships on his own.

  Commander Adama : It's exactly what he said he'd do.

  Commander Cain : [cut to the Pegasus]  Range to baseships!

  Flight Officer Tolan : 110 centons. We'll be down to 11 centons at full speed.

  Commander Cain : All right, Tolan! Let get there! We have a very important appointment with a man named Baltar!

• Lieutenant Athena : Commander Cain on the line, Father.

  Commander Adama : Thanks for the assist, Cain. It didn't look any too good there for a while.

  Commander Cain : It doesn't look any too good now either. What have you got cooking on that bridge?

  Commander Adama : Everything's under control at the moment. But I'd like to land my fighters on the Pegasus. It will take some time to repair our landing bays.

• Lieutenant Athena : Sir, a large body of incoming ships from Delta Sector. Unmistakably Cylon.

  Commander Adama : [sighs]  Cain's plan didn't work.

  Colonel Tigh : We can't leave those fuel ships on the surface. And fully loaded, they aren't going to be able to move very quickly, even once we get them launched.

  Commander Adama : Notify ground teams to close down and prepare to launch.

• Cassiopeia : [visitors in sick-bay]  Not too long. She needs to build back her strength.

  Lieutenant Sheba : [hopefully, despite everything]  Any word?

  Commander Adama : No. But that's nothing to be concerned about. Your father wouldn't break communication silence and reveal his position.

  Lieutenant Sheba : [teary-eyed]  Thank you for trying... but what are the odds he survived? All those fighters, and a base ship...

  Captain Apollo : What were the odds when we all thought you were lost two yahrens ago?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : As far as I'm concerned, he just headed out into deep space, the way he did last time. The Cylon fighters couldn't have followed him very far with empty fuel cells. They've flown a long way already.

  Commander Adama : [to Sheba]  He's right, you know. In the meantime, until your father does communicate with us, I want you to consider yourself... part of our family.

  Lieutenant Sheba : I already do.

  [her hand reaches out, and Adama's closes over hers]
