[Count Baltar has persuaded President Adar that the approaching Cylon raiders are a welcoming committee]
Colonel Tigh : Commander, one of our patrol ships is under attack from the main force approaching the fleet.
Commander Adama : [turning to the viewscreen] Did you hear that, Mr. President? Your "welcoming committee" is FIRING on our patrol.

Colonel Tigh : It's working, Commander. They're clearing a path 100 maxims wide.
Lieutenant Athena : Now, THAT is precision flying.

Colonel Tigh : I know that wasn't easy for you, not telling him. Perhaps you should have.
Commander Adama : No. I need him down there at the ceremony. If I told him, there'd be no way to keep him from my side. This is MY gamble. If I win, we all win.
Colonel Tigh : But if you're wrong, Uri will destroy you.
Commander Adama : I'm not wrong. The Cylons lured me into their deception once.
[his eyes narrowed in determination]
Commander Adama : Never again!
