Quotes 

• Commander Adama : Everything we do has an element of risk, Apollo.

• Commander Adama : Oh, Doctor, is there any possibility... How soon can some of our pilots be returned to duty?

  Dr. Salik : Commander, I told you: it's not a matter of how soon they will return to duty, it's a matter of how soon they will die.

• Dr. Salik : Commander, going back there is the only hope those boys have.

  Commander Adama : The only hope?

  Dr. Salik : The only hope, sir.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : [as Athena approaches him with marriage in mind]  Well, as best man, I've got to see to the groom's send-off preparations.

  [hastily leaving] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : it's gonna be a real bash. Uh, thanks for the food. Uh... I need to run. Uh... uh... pleasure dining with you. Commander Apollo, don't forget our patrol. Congratulations, Serina,

  [touches her shoulder] 

  Lieutenant Starbuck : I... Athena, uh... bye...!

  [out the door] 

  Lieutenant Athena : [as the others look at her]  Well, all I did was...

  [shrugs] 

  Lieutenant Athena : smile.
