- Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [Starbuck's filling in for Apollo at the squadron briefing] Now, one of you has been coming in a little hot lately, a little too hot, a little, um - oh I don't know, he's-burning-up-the-deck-with-his-skids-because-he-just-can't-pull-back-on-the-throttle hot. Now who is this speed demon, my prince?
- Boxey: Flat Top, sir!
- [the squadron catcalls]
- Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Flat Top, you got a need for speed, do ya? Just can't wait to get back to the Big G and the loving embrace of your fellow pilots? Or maybe you have a hot date with your right hand?
- [more catcalls]
- Ryan 'Flat Top' Cisco: Hey, it never gets a headache!
- Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Tell you what, Flat Top: you come in too hot today and you may have to start using your left. Okay, you've been fun, you've been a great audience, dismissed!
- Tom Zarek: They call you Apollo.
- Cpt. Lee 'Apollo' Adama: It's my call sign.
- Tom Zarek: Apollo's one of the gods, a lord of Kobol. You must be a very special man to be called the god.
- Cpt. Lee 'Apollo' Adama: It's just a stupid nickname.
- Tom Zarek: Son of Zeus, good with the bow, god of the hunt. And also a god of healing. Now, a god can reconcile those two opposing forces, but a mortal has to pick one side or the other. Have you picked a side, Apollo?
- Doctor Gaius Baltar: Lieutenant Thrace! Good to see you!
- Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Good to see you too!
- Doctor Gaius Baltar: Really?
- Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: No!
- Number Six: Oh!
- Doctor Gaius Baltar: I wonder if she's a real blonde.
- Number Six: I doubt it.
