Adama: Is this a joke? (to Dee) Are they within voice range?
Dualla: Yes, sir. (on the phone) Colonial One, Galactica. Galactica Actual wishes to speak with Apollo.
Apollo: This is Apollo. Go ahead, Actual.
(Dualla passes Adama the headset.)
Adama: Yeah, are you - (clears throat) Is your ship all right?
Apollo: We're both fine. Thanks for asking.
Adama: Is your ship's FTL functioning?
(The pilot nods.)
Apollo: That's affirmative.
Adama: Then you're ordered to bring yourself and all of your passengers to the rendezvous point. Acknowledge.
Apollo: Acknowledge... receipt of message.
Adama: What the hell does that mean?
Apollo: It means, I heard you.
Adama: You're gonna have to do a lot better than that, Captain.
Apollo: We're engaged in rescue operations.
Adama: You are to abort your mission immediately and proceed to Ragnar.
Apollo: The President has given me a direct order.
Adama: You're talking about the Secretary of Education. We're in the middle of a war, and you're taking orders from a schoolteacher?

U.S. Representa...: The subcommittee hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAPs will come to order.
Ms. Mace: It took over 15 years for your encounter with the tic-tac to be declassified. Do you feel there was a good reason to prevent lawmakers from having access to this footage?
CDR. Fravor: No. I just think it was ignored when it happened, and it just sat somewhere in a file. Never got reported.
Ms. Mace: In a drawer. It happens a lot up here. Shocker.

(Back on Roslin's ship - she and Apollo are up in the cockpit)
Radio: This is an official Colonial government broadcast. All ministers and officials should now go to Case Orange. Repeat: This is an official Colonial government broadcast. All ministers and officials should now go to Case Orange.
Roslin: It's an automated message. It's designed to be sent out in case the president, the vice president and most of the cabinet are dead or incapacitated. I need you to send my ID code back on the exact same frequency. D as in dog, dash 456 dash 345 dash A, as in apple. Thank you. (She leaves the cockpit. Apollo follows her back and finds her sitting alone.)
Apollo: How far down?
Roslin: 43rd in line of succession. I know all 42 ahead of me from the President down. Most of us served with him in the first administration. Some of them came with him from the Mayor's office. I was there with him on his first campaign. I never really liked politics; I kept telling myself I was getting out, but... he had this way about him. (The pilot appears with a piece of paper.) Just couldn't say no to him. (He hands her the paper.) Thank you. (She sits up, puts her jacket back on.) We'll need a priest.
(People are gathered around. The priest - Elosha - reads from a scroll.)
Elosha: Please raise your right hand and repeat after me. (Roslin raises her right hand.) I, Laura Roslin.
Roslin: (sounding like she's on the verge of tears) I, Laura Roslin.
Elosha: Do now avow and affirm.
Roslin: Do now avow and affirm.
Elosha: That I take the office of the President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.
Roslin: That I accept the office of the - That I accept the office of the President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.
Elosha: And that I will protect and defend the sovereignty of the Colonies.
Roslin: And that I will protect and defend the sovereignty of the Colonies.
Elosha: With every fiber of my being.
Roslin: With every fiber of my being.
(Galactica - they're pulling the bodies out of the burned section of the ship. The Chief stands and looks around, lost.)

Identification (literature)
From Wikipedia
Identification refers to the automatic, subconscious psychological process in which an individual becomes like or closely associates themselves with another person by adopting one or more of the others' perceived personality traits, physical attributes, or some other aspect of their identity. The concept of identification was founded by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in the 1920’s, and has since been expanded on and applied in psychology, social studies, media studies, and literary and film criticism. In literature, identification most often refers to the audience identifying with a fictional character, however it can also be employed as a narrative device whereby one character identifies with another character within the text itself.

Roslin: Then you do acknowledge my position as president as duly constituted under the articles of colonization.
Adama: Miss Roslin, my primary objective at the present time is to repair the Galactica and continue to fight.
Roslin: What we do know at this moment is that there are fifty thousand civilian refugees out there who don't stand a chance without your ship to protect them.
Adama: We're aware of the tactical situation, and I'm sure that you'll all be safe here on Ragnar after we leave.
Roslin: After you leave? Where are you going?
Adama: To find the enemy. We're at war, and that's my mission.
Roslin: I honestly don't know why I have to keep telling you this, but the war is over.
Adama: It hasn't begun yet.
Roslin: That's insane.
Adama: You would rather that we run?
Roslin: Yes, absolutely. That is the only sane thing to do here, exactly that: run. We leave this solar system, and we don't look back.
Adama: And we go where?
Roslin: I don't know. Another star system, another planet, somewhere where the Cylons won't find us.
Adama: You can run if you like. This ship will stand, and it will fight.
Roslin: I'm gonna be straight with you here. The human race is about to be wiped out. We have fifty thousand people left, and that's it. Now, if we are even going to survive as a species, then we need to get the hell out of here and we need to start having babies.
Adama: Excuse me. (He leaves.)
