Quotes 

• Lieutenant Boomer : What's the matter? Something serious?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Oh no, no. We're just handing the safety of the entire fleet over to a bunch of murderers and cutthroats.

  Lieutenant Boomer : Well, as long as it's nothing serious.

• [Following a computer search, Starbuck is among those selected for the Arcta Pulsar demolition mission] 

  Lieutenant Boomer : I just don't understand how that computer picked you for this mission. Now I pulled a tour on Ice Station Thula, so it makes sense that I got chosen, but you? You get dizzy if your drinks are too cold, my friend!

  Lieutenant Starbuck : I wish you'd have told the Commander that. I'd like to figure some way to get out of...

  [interrupted by Giles removing Cree's personal effects from his locker] 

• Lieutenant Boomer : [Indicating Leda while leaning towards Starbuck]  She looks like she could take us all on, *with* or *without* chains.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : [reading a scanner]  Leda. Medic, First Class, expert in laser wounds, and arctic experienced.

  Leda : What's the mission?

  Lieutenant Boomer : Commander will brief you.

  Leda : [glares at Croft before turning back to Starbuck]  To have Croft and myself in the same place, at the same time, invites disaster.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : You don't like him?

  Leda : I'm married to him! And no, I don't like him.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : [re the two over-eager fighter pilots]  Boomer, we can't let them go down alone.

  Lieutenant Boomer : They're in the clouds. We'll never get a visual on 'em.
