Quotes 

• Lieutenant Starbuck : Reese, stay out of this or I'll stick that mug down your throat.

• Lieutenant Boomer : Now look, you golmonging snitrag, this is a military bay. You and your men have jurisdiction over civilian personnel only.

  Security Officer Reese : Aren't the people on board that ship civilians?

  Lieutenant Boomer : Well now, we, eh, don't really know that, do we? Maybe they're mercanaries, come here to mow us all down.

  Security Officer Reese : [laughs]  Two adults and four mercenary children. That is an imposing threat. Take your positions.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : [the Colonial warriors draw their weapons]  One more step, black-shirt, and you'll be flatter on your back than those Earthlings in there.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : [Cassiopeia tries to put a breath mask on Starbuck to give him fresh air]  Cassie, will you get that felgercarb out of my face!

• Lieutenant Starbuck : [about human nature]  Whatever's logical and in the interest of all mankind, we'll do exactly the opposite.

• Captain Apollo : We'll begin taking sleep periods to conserve our strength. There's no telling how far out that ship's destination may be. Set your breathers for minimum to conserve.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : All right, but I'm too excited to be sleepy.

  Captain Apollo : Starbuck, this trip could be endless.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Meaning none of us may make it? Remind me to invite you to my next party. You're a lot of fun.

• Hector : The waste of it all. Why can't man get along with man?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : That, Hector, is the question.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : You two make quite a pair, you and your father. For androids patterned in man's image, I'm not so sure you didn't get the best end of the deal.

  Hector : I consider that a great compliment.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : We're taking your patients.

  Cassiopeia : Starbuck, do you know what they can do to you?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : [snickers]  Have to catch us first.
