(from internet transcript)
Colonial One
Pilot: Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, our 33 minutes are almost up once again. Please prepare for our faster-than-light jump. Thank you.
Roslin: Cutting it a little close this time, aren't we, Billy?
Billy: The pilot says they've had to reboot the F.T.L. computer again.
Galactica - Hangars
Cally: Why do the Cylons come every 33 minutes? Why isn't it 34 or 35 or...?
Tyrol: Cally...
Cally: What?
Tyrol: Shut up.
Galactica - Command
Gaeta: 15 seconds.
Duella: Sir?, jump 237 underway. 53 ships have jumped, ten still reporting trouble with their F.T.L. Drives, including Colonial One.
Adama: We're getting slower.
Tigh: Maybe this time...
Gaeta: Dradis contact. It's the Cylons.
Tigh: Dammit.
Adama: Not this time, maybe the next. I got another idea for the next cycle.
Colonial One
Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid the Cylons have appeared again. However, our F.T.L. drive is now working and we will jump momentarily.
Baltar: Five days now. There are limits... to the human body, the human mind. Tolerances that you can't push beyond. All those are facts. Provable facts. Everyone has their limit.
Viper - Space
Apollo: All right, you know the drill, people: scatter formation. Keep 'em off the civvies, and don't stray beyond the recovery line.

Chuck Yeager
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager (born February 13, 1923) is a former United States Air Force officer, flying ace, and record-setting test pilot. In 1947, he became the first pilot confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight.
Yeager's career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army Air Forces. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II USAAF equivalent to warrant officer) and became a P-51 fighter pilot.
On October 12, 1944, he became the first pilot in his group to make "ace in a day," downing five enemy aircraft in a single mission. Two of these kills were scored without firing a single shot: when he flew into firing position against a Messerschmitt Bf 109, the pilot of the aircraft panicked, breaking to starboard and colliding with his wingman. Yeager said both pilots bailed out. He finished the war with 11.5 official victories, including one of the first air-to-air victories over a jet fighter, a German Messerschmitt Me 262 that he shot down as it was on final approach for landing.
