- Adulteress: What kind of offence is starbuckin'? Sounds interesting...
- Lieutenant Starbuck: It's a not an offence. It's a name.
- Forger: They're one and the same, boy.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Anyhow, look, it a may be a while before I get another chance to come back here for dinner. Eh... big mission coming up. You wouldn't happen to have a private dining room?
- Waiter: Lieutenant, private rooms are reserved 60 and 70 centares in advance.
- [Starbuck slips him a golden cubit]
- Waiter: Well, one can always make arrangements for a warrior on his last night.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: I don't like the way he said that.
- Lieutenant Athena: Hmm, Starbuck, these mushies are just heavenly.
- [offers him one]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Oh, er, no thanks.
- Lieutenant Athena: Too bad we can't have any fresh protein with them...
- Lieutenant Starbuck: We're all out of mushies, I'm sorry.
- Cassiopeia: I don't mind, the protein's just fine.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [takes a sip of the protein] Ach, this stuff's only a yahren old.
- Cassiopeia: Well, I think it has the right effect.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: So I see.
- PA announcer: Lieutenant Starbuck, report to Battlestar Galactica, flight deck blue.
- 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.
- Enforcer: Take your bottle, Bootlegger.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: The name's Starbuck.
- Enforcer: From now on your name is Bootlegger 137.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Are all the cell doors unlocked?
- Assault 9: They haven't worked in... generations.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Then come out!
- Assault 9: No, no, I, we can't!
- 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.
- [the sight of Colonial Vipers flying over the prison result in the prisoners accusing Starbuck of being a Cylon secret agent]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: If I am, I'm in big trouble - those are Colonial Vipers!
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Computer, back to normal track.
- C.O.R.A.: Your wish is my command, honey.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: The eh, name's Starbuck.
- C.O.R.A.: Don't be a bore. My name is C.O.R.A.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: C.O.R.A.? Reminds me of Aurora.
- C.O.R.A.: Short for Computer Oral Response Activated. I'm programmed to respond instantly to all your needs. I'm also to keep you amused over the length and duration of our prolonged voyage.
- C.O.R.A.: May I suggest a high-speed flyby kicking in our second booster within 50 metrons? Our backwash should knock him silly and scare the pogees out of him.
- C.O.R.A.: May I land us, or do I have to go through a bouncer?
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Just give me the vector.
- C.O.R.A.: Vector's displayed. Please try not to jar my chips.
- Assault 9: What have we here? What's your name, lad?
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Eh, Starbuck.
- Assault 9: Starbuck... Starbuck you say, huh? Hm. That's strange, never heard of that one before.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Where am I?
- Assault 9: Proteus Prison. Oh, ah, I'm Assault 9. That's Forger 7 round the corner there. Embezzler 10 down the... down the block there and eh... Adulteress 58, I see you've already met. And, our children of course.
- C.O.R.A.: Here they come.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: When I give you the word, execute a maximum G climb.
- C.O.R.A.: You'll black out. You're only human.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: But you're not.
- C.O.R.A.: I'm beginning to regret that.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: So am I.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [the two-timer expecting Cassiopeia, but...] Uh. Athena.
- Lieutenant Athena: I managed to get off work after all.
- [he weighs up his chances]
- Lieutenant Athena: I just didn't want you to be alone on your last night before...
- [he gives slight guffaw]
- Lieutenant Athena: You are alone, aren't you?
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Uhm... uhm... uhm... Not any longer!
- [she leans in for a kiss]
- Waiter: [appearing in doorway, bemused] Sir?
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Yes? Ah.
- [grabs way out]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Listen, uh, there, ah... You don't happen to have a room with a better view? There's a sanitation ship right off our beam.
- [Athena searches for it]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Not exactly appetizing scenery.
- Lieutenant Athena: A sanitation ship? Where?
- Lieutenant Starbuck: It must have drifted back, uh, I think there's a first orbit cadet at the controls.
- [plying the waiter with a golden cubit, insistently urging:]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Get me another room!
- Waiter: Yes, Sir, I quite understand.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Good.
- Waiter: [waits, knowingly, gets another cubit] Follow me.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Er... Athena?
- [offers her his hand, hurriedly leads her away]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [learns he's flying a toothless ship] That makes sense. Get rid of the laser generators, and... You're unarmed!
- [gets blasted off into space]
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [a millennium's worth of ambrosia goes up in an explosion] Oh, frack! There goes my fortune!
