When you see this, quote Battlestar Galactica.

Bill Adama: It's not enough to survive. One has to be worth surviving.

Admiral Cain: If you can become a weapon, a thing, then you just might live long enough to one day have the luxury of being something human again.

Romo Lampkin: Love. A precocious evolutionary move, fashioning Cylons to be capable of experiencing it. I don't know if it was engineered as a tactical imperative, but it's not for the faint-hearted, is it?
Number Six: No, it's not.
Romo Lampkin: Perhaps you should have been nicer to your mechanic. But perhaps Cylon love is not the same as human love. Perhaps it's designed to hurt a little less.
Number Six: How would you know?
Romo Lampkin: I loved a woman. Beautiful, beautiful woman. But so serious. This frowning face trapped in the middle of a daisy. We had ten years. Then it fell apart under its own weight. I thought if I could get over her, I could get over anything. I could endure, conquer, be a man. Stand up to any and all kind of punishment. I clung to an empty, spinning bed for months. And that? That is when I finally realized how much I loved her. If I needed all that strength, what was the point? I needed to be with her...
You understand that your days are owned and tallied by these people. I couldn't help you if they paid me ten times what they offered me for Baltar. You won't get a trial. Not even a bad one. So I have to ask you. Does your love hurt as much as mine?
Number Six: ...Yes.

Lee Adama: Wow, look at that. You literally drank Anders under the table.
Kara Thrace: They just don't make them like they used to.

Karl Agathon: How much further?
Sharon Agathon: Farther.
Karl Agathon: What?
Sharon Agathon: "Farther" refers to distance. "Further" is more figurative.
Karl Agathon: What, are you a dictionary now?
Sharon Agathon: I'm sorry I'm smarter than you.
Karl Agathon: Well, that's okay. The baby can have your brains as long as it gets my looks.

Karl Agathon: Hey, Colonial fleet. See the uniforms? We're human.
Sam Anders: Yeah, we've seen Cylons in uniform before. We're human. I'm Anders.
Karl Agathon: Samuel T. Anders? Kara...These are the Caprica Buccaneers.
Kara Thrace: I don't think so.
Buccaneer: Give me a ball, little girl, I'll shove it up your ass.
Kara Thrace: Please. Try. How does a professional Pyramid team survive a nuclear holocaust?
Sam Anders: We were in the mountains when the Cylons attacked. High-altitude training. We've been on the run ever since.
Kara Thrace: Okay. How many foul breaks did you have in the playoff against Aerilon?
Sam Anders: You're kidding, right?...Three.
Kara Thrace: Wrong. Four.
Sam Anders: Last one was called back on instant replay.
Karl Agathon: He's right, Starbuck. I lost twenty cubits on that game.
Kara Thrace: Fine....You know you guys suck, right? Can't shoot, can't pass. You sure as hell can't take a point.

Laura Roslin: They would do the same thing if they were in my place.
Karl Agathon: Not the Sharons. The Eights. They wouldn't do this.
Laura Roslin: Captain. You are not married to the entire production line.

Lee Adama: I'd trust your eyes over Dradis any day of the week. Something could have been there, disappeared in the cloud cover.
Kara Thrace: So you don't think I'm nuts?
Lee Adama: I didn't say that. You're a raving lunatic. As demented and deranged as the first day I met you.
Kara Thrace: And you're a bastard.

All of these are great! The Romo/Six exchange is one of my favorite exchanges ever. Just gives me chills.

Mine too! I love how that scene makes you feel sad for Six but is also essentially about Lee and his regrets about Kara now that she's gone, which Romo is of course deliberately tapping into because he's such a perceptive little bastard. But at the same time, he's speaking from his heart at least a little. There's so many layers to it.

I know. The layers and the subtext are what that scene is all about. I think it's such a moving scene about Lee's grief (amonng many other things)-- and he doesn't even say a word! I'm still waiting for the K/L payoff of that exchange (... here's hoping).
