Richard Hatch: Captain Apollo

Quotes 

• Captain Apollo : Enjoy your dinner?

  Lieutenant Starbuck : Well, let's just say I'm looking forward to a few centons in space... alone. Just me, a fast ship and a fair galaxy.

  Captain Apollo : Fast ship you have, the engineers have doubled the range and speed, they even installed a voice-activated computer that can outfly anything the Cylons throw at you.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : A hot pilot doesn't need all that electronic felgercarb.

• Lieutenant Starbuck : Apollo, this asteroid is piled high with Ambrosa! Thousands, millions of crates of it. Some of it ageing a millennium.

  Lieutenant Boomer : I give up. I just give up.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : No, you don't understand. We're rich!

  Captain Apollo : I'll put that on your death stone.

• Boxey : [unimpressed with the viewscreen]  Hush up, Muffit, it's just a bunch of old stars.

  Commander Adama : Apollo, perhaps Boxey should take the helm. He has a singular sense of perspective.

  Boxey : [to Apollo, excited and hopeful]  Can I?

  Captain Apollo : No, you cannot. You are centons into your sleep period.

  Boxey : Oh. Commander?

  Commander Adama : Now you keep me out of this, young man. I may be the commander of the fleet, but he's you father.

  Captain Apollo : Thank you.

  Boxey : [to Muffit]  Maybe next time, I'll act excited and we can stay up. Come on, Muffit.

  Captain Apollo : [as Boxey walks off, Apollo turns to Adama]  Was I ever like this?

  Commander Adama : Worse.
