Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Laurette Spang: Cassiopeia

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Starbuck : I'm just curious about what all that excitement was about back on the barge.

  Cassiopeia : That woman is a member of the Otori sect amongst the Geminese. They don't believe in physical contact between genders, except when sanctified by the priest during High Worship of the Sun Storm, which comes once only every seven years!

  [Starbuck remembers a card game he was playing before the Galactica ordered battle-stations drill, which had suddenly turned into the real thing] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : No wonders those little buggers are such good card players.

• [Admiring Starbuck's space fighter] 

  Cassiopeia : It's beautiful, isn't it? It's a perfect machine! Born to dance amongst the stars!

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Yeah, it's bumping into them that has me worried.

  Cassiopeia : Why did you volunteer, Starbuck?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Well, *somebody* has to do it.

  Cassiopeia : Did Apollo make you?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Yes... you certainly have a way of cutting through the felgercarb.

  Cassiopeia : Do you ever take that smoldering weed out of your mouth?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : [Cassiopeia kisses him]  I had this wonderful speech all prepared...

  Cassiopeia : About this being your last night here? About possibly not seeing another night as this one, or another girl as beautiful as I am, ever again?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Yeah, well, that speech is a little better than the one I had. Would you mind if I borrowed it on some future occasion?
