Battlestar Galactica

Tyrol: I buried my head in the sand, and I settled. I settled for that shriek with those dull, vacant eyes and that boiled-cabbage stench of her. And why? Because this is my life. This is the life I picked, and it's fine. But you know what?! It's not. I didn't pick this life! This is not my frakkin' life! Adama: What the hell's gotten into you? Don't do this. Don't do this to her memory. Tyrol: You know what? I'm sorry if I'm not gonna do this the way you want me to, or the way you might, but I will not make an angel out of someone who wasn't an angel. But I can see you have. And now you've come down to be in my club. But you're not in my club. You don't know what frakkin' club I'm in, 'cause you never asked the right questions.

Tigh: (about the death of Cally) Chief, what you're feeling is what a man feels when this happens. It's normal and it's human, and it's not gonna end anytime soon. It'll be there every day. You'll see her every day. You'll see her. Be a man, Chief. Feel what you've got to feel. But don't risk us!

Head Six: People have room in their hearts for one great belief. You or the old gods -- which one will it be? Baltar: Why can't I just be a man? Do I really need to take on the gods single-handed?

Baltar: (to his followers) Stop! Stop. This is unacceptable. We have been targeted because of what we believe by those who answer to faceless gods that bear no relevance in our world. They want us to be afraid, and I am tired of being afraid. The time has come to make a stand and that time is now.

Roslin: Searider Falcon. I haven't read it in years. I don't remember how it ends. Adama: I don't either. I've never read the ending. Roslin:You're kidding. It's your favorite. Adama: Well, I like it so much that I don't want it to be over, so I'm saving it.

Baltar: (to his followers) I'm not a priest. I've never even been a particularly good man. I have, in fact, been a profoundly selfish man, but that doesn't matter. You see, something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I would choose to call this something God, the singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself you will find this spark, too. You will. But you have to look... deep.

Caprica Six: Pain is how I learn from the guilt. There's wisdom there. Clarity. You know yourself there. Tigh: Pain? Caprica Six: (caressing Tigh's face) Our minds were designed based on your minds. We've learned things about how you work that you've never known. When you're in pain, (she changes into Ellen Tigh) that's when you learn who you really are. That's when you focus, sharp as the point of a knife. (takes off his eyepatch) I can give you that clarity again.

Adama: She was a good woman. Chief Tyrol: If you really believed that, you wouldn't have threatened to stick her up against a bulkhead and shoot her. It's OK, though. Thought about doing it many times myself. Believe me. Adama: Chief, let's... Chief Tyrol: How many of us ended up with the people we really wanted to be with? Got stuck with the best of limited options? And why? Because the ones we really wanted, the really loved, were dead, and dying, or turned out to be Cylons and they didn't know it. If Boomer had...
