- Lt. Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii: [Adama asks Sharon why the Cylons hate humanity so much] I don't know if 'hate' is the right word... it's like you said at the ceremony... you said something that sounded like it wasn't the speech you had prepared. You said, 'Man never asked itself why it should survive.' Maybe you don't.
