Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.

ADAMA
Miss Roslin, my priority at this moment is the repair of Galactica and the resumption of combat operations against the enemy.

LAURA
Correct me if I'm wrong, Commander, but as far as we know, isn't Galactica the last surviving battlestar?

ADAMA
(uncomfortable) We don't know how many battlestars or how many other elements of the fleet may have survived.

LAURA
Do you have any reason to think there are other survivors?

ADAMA
We don't know.

LAURA
Well, let's focus on what we do know. And what we do know is that at this moment there are fifty thousand civilian refugees out there who won't have a chance without your ship to protect them.

ADAMA
I understand the tactical situation. But you should be safe here at Ragnar after we leave.

LAURA
"After you leave." Where are you going?

ADAMA
We're going after the enemy. We're at war. That's our mission.

And now Laura deliberately lets her own temper show, lets her voice rise in indignation:

LAURA
I don't know why I have to keep telling you people this, but -- the war is over.

ADAMA
I don't accept that.

LAURA
Commander, your own pilot was there -- ask Sharon Valerii what's happening on Kobol.

ADAMA
(temper flaring) I know what's happened on Kobol, but my job is to fight back.

LAURA
(louder) With what? One ship?

ADAMA
If that's all we have, then yes, with one ship.

LAURA
That's insane.

ADAMA
(losing it) And what do you want me do? Run?

LAURA
Yes! That's absolutely right! The only sane thing to do here is exactly that -- run. We leave this solar system and never look back.

ADAMA
And go where?

LAURA
I don't know. Another star system, another planet -- somewhere the Cylons won't find us.

Adama gets up, heads for the door.

ADAMA
You can run if you want. This ship is going to stand and fight.

She keeps raging at his back as he leaves.

LAURA
You don't get it, do you? The human race is about to be wiped out. We have fifty thousand people left and that's it. If we want to even survive as a species, then we need to get the hell out of here and start having babies!
