Anne Lockhart: Lieutenant Sheba

Quotes 

• Commander Cain : [after the hologram of Cassiopeia]  Uh, speaking of lovely ladies, you've met my daughter.

  [Starbuck looks surprised] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : [hologram]  Happy birthday, Father. I love you.

  Captain Apollo : [shakes his head]  I'm sure that if I met that young lady, I'd know it.

  Commander Cain : You met her. She was the pilot that almost flew you right out of your britches.

  [proudly:] 

  Commander Cain : Like father, like daughter.

• [while on patrol, Apollo and Starbuck have been intercepted by Vipers from the lost Battlestar Pegasus] 

  Captain Apollo : [spotting something ahead of him]  Oh, my lord, we're not dead, and this isn't a dream. That *is* the Pegasus!

  Lieutenant Sheba : [to Bojay]  He won't shut up! He's acting as if he's seen an apparition!

  Captain Apollo : I'm still not sure I haven't!

• Lieutenant Sheba : Look Captain, maybe you don't understand the situation. Adama humiliated the greatest man that ever lived. A man that can think and fight circles around your father.

  Lieutenant Bojay : She's right, Apollo. He saved our lives from certain death! Now it's *our* turn to help him!

  Captain Apollo : Look, no one wants to see Cain hurt or disgraced.

  Lieutenant Sheba : Isn't it a little late for that?

• Commander Cain : Come, my sweet Cassiopeia.

  [they sit down for a drink] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : [regarding the couple wryly]  If you'll excuse me, I think I've had enough combat for now.

  Cassiopeia : [as Sheba leaves]  Nothing changes.

  Commander Cain : Everything changes.

  Cassiopeia : Not people.

• Captain Apollo : [going after them]  Sheba! I would like to talk to you.

  Lieutenant Sheba : [knowing only too well what this is about]  I was just about to join my father...

  Commander Cain : No, that's all right. Cassiopeia and I will save you a place.

  [they go on ahead] 

  Lieutenant Sheba : [emotionally]  Look, I don't feel that well, I think that I...

  [he places his hand on her shoulder] 

  Captain Apollo : What happened out there? To those tankers?

  Lieutenant Sheba : [defensively]  You heard the report, they were hit by incidental fire.

  Captain Apollo : You're telling me that someone as good as you are, as good as Silver Spur Squadron is, blew the whole purpose of this mission out of the stars by accident?

  Lieutenant Sheba : [teary-eyed]  Yes, that's what I'm saying.

  Captain Apollo : Well, then we have found a weakness or two, haven't we, Lieutenant?

  [walks past her, leaving her looking after him uncertainly] 

• Captain Apollo : Bojay, if that's really you, tell us what happened. How did you survive?

  Lieutenant Sheba : You will maintain silence until we land on the Battlestar Pegasus.

  Captain Apollo : Pegasus...! That's just not possible...

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Apollo! Do you *know* whose ship that was?

  Captain Apollo : Cain, the greatest military commander that ever lived. He was my idol.

  Lieutenant Sheba : Your idol will order you blasted out of the sky if you do not shut off your transmitters! In case you clowns don't know it, you're right in a quadrant controlled by Ceylons.

  Captain Apollo : Oh, my Lord.

  [spots the Pegasus] 

  Captain Apollo : This isn't a dream. And we're certainly not dead. It is the Pegasus.

  Lieutenant Sheba : They won't shut up...! They act like they've seen an apparition!

  Captain Apollo : I'm not sure I haven't.

• Captain Apollo : [introducing himself]  Apollo. Strike Captain Apollo. I believe you've spent a lot of time on my tail. You are Sheba?

  Lieutenant Sheba : Yes. To both questions.

  Lieutenant Bojay : You can't be serious. You mean you shot down *one* Ceylon patrol ship in a secton?

  Captain Apollo : Very serious. When you're responsible for the lives of hundreds of civilians cramped aboard slow-moving barges you have to learn to keep a low profile.

  Lieutenant Sheba : Sounds like we're gonna be incompatible.

  Captain Apollo : We all have to learn to adjust. Even the legendary Commander Cain may have to alter his combat techniques.

  Lieutenant Sheba : And who's gonna have to tell him that?
