Aaron Douglas: Chief Galen Tyrol
Quotes
-
[a large meeting of people listening to Baltar speak is being held]
Dr. Gaius Baltar : The past is written, impossible to change. Why are so many of us living in the past, living with the shame of what we have done, when we could live in awe of what we might do? What we might do.
[We see Chief Tyrol coming upon the fringes of the meeting and listening]
Dr. Gaius Baltar : What will we do? Spiral endlessly through the heavens until humanity itself comes to a close?
[We see Tigh appear in the corridor behind Tyrol]
Dr. Gaius Baltar : Or do we look inward and find that strength within?
Colonel Saul Tigh : [Coming up behind Tyrol and speaking quietly to him. Baltar's word become more and more indistinct and fades into background noise] Can you believe these people are actually buying into Baltar's crap? We need to talk.
Chief Galen Tyrol : I don't have anything to say to you.
Colonel Saul Tigh : Well, then you can listen. Come with me.
[They turn and walk several feet back into the corridor]
Colonel Saul Tigh : I've been cutting you some slack because of Cally, but that's over. You gotta pull yourself together *now.*
Chief Galen Tyrol : Suck it up. Just like you,huh?
Colonel Saul Tigh : Now what is that supposed to mean?
Chief Galen Tyrol : Hear you've been spending some time in the lockup with the Six. Remember when this all started? You said nothing would change you from the man you want to be. Well, how about it, Colonel? You still the same old Saul Tigh?
Colonel Saul Tigh : Anything I've done I can live with.
Chief Galen Tyrol : Well, that's the difference between you and me. I can't.
[Both turn and look towards the crowd hanging on Baltar's words]
Chief Galen Tyrol : Tory's got it in her head that we can be the salvation of the human race. All I know is if there is a God, he's laughing his ass off.
[Tyrol turns away and walks back to listen to Baltar speak]
