Battlestar Galactica - television miniseries premiere episode - Monday 08 December 2003 USA
(from internet transcript of incomplete dialog)
Six: What are you doing?
Gaius Baltar: I'm phoning my attorney.
Six: That won't be necessary.
Baltar: Yeah, he'll know what to do, he'll sort this out. He's the best in the business.
Six: It won't be necessary, because in a few hours, no one will be left to charge you with anything.
Baltar: What exactly are you saying?
Six: Humanity's children are returning home. Today. (Outside the window, there's a bright flash of light on the horizon.)
(Galactica. Caption: Galactica Starboard Landing Bay, Decommissioning Ceremony)
Doral: I'd like to thank you all again for being here today, and Elosha, thank you very much for those wonderful words. Next is a ceremonial fly-by by the last Galactica battle squadron led by Captain Lee Adama. (Music play, ships fly over, people applaud.) And now it is my great pleasure to introduce the last commander of the Battlestar Galactica, Commander Adama. (applause)
Adama: Thank you very much. The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but... (pauses) Sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question: why? Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder, because of greed, spite, jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. (we hear the voiceover in Apollo's ship) We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done. Like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play god, create life. (We see Starbuck listening in her cell.) When that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play god, then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.

The Twelve: A Novel (Book Two of the Passage Trilogy)
Justin Cronin
Page 54 of 593 (Amazon Kindle Version)
A knock at the door broke his train of thought; Guilder swiveled from the window to see Nelson, the department's chief technical officer, standing in the doorway. Christ, what now?
"I have good news and bad news," Nelson announced.
Nelson was dressed, as always, in a black T-shirt and jeans, his dirty feet shoved into a pair of flip-flops. A fast-talking Rhodes scholar with not one but two PhDs from MIT - biochemistry and advanced information systems - Nelson was the smartest guy in the building by a mile, a fact he knew only too well. He still had the young person's predisposition to regard the world as a series of vaguely irritating problems created by people less cool and smart than he was. Though their relationship was cordial, Nelson had a habit of treating Guilder like a doddering elderly parent, a figure of respect but no longer quite worthy - which was exasperating, coming from a guy who seemed to comb his hair ever fourth day, though not, Guilder had to admit, entirely unwarranted. He was twenty-eight to Guilder's fifty-seven, and everything about Nelson conspired to make him feel old.
"Any sign of her?"
"Nada." Nelson scratched his scraggly beard. "We're not getting any of them."
Guilder rubbed his eyes, which stung of sleeplessness. He needed to go home for a shower and a clean suit. He hadn't left the office in two days, grabbing only a few winks on the couch and living on junk from the vending machines. He was having trouble with his fingers, too. Numbness, tingling.
"You said something about good news?"
"Depends on how you look at it. From a free-speech point of view, probably it's not the best, but it looks like somebody finally shut down that lunatic in Denver. My guess would be NSA, or else one of Lear's little pets finally got to him. Either way, the dude's off-line in a permanent way."
Last Stand in Denver: Guilder had watched the videos, like everybody else. You had to hand it to the guy for balls. Theories abounded about his identity, the general consensus being that he was ex-military, Special Forces or SEALs.
"So what's the bad?"

And then I am transmitting these words across the wire that is part of my internetwork connection with the world wide web and I am hoping that I am hitting some kind of tripwire that gets me out of here. I mean, why now? Why did I just now look at that box?
Sure, stuff like that happens. I have found some serious exceptions to that rule though.
Somehow there is the answer that explains how I could have discover time-travel in the first place. I have been thinking again about the paradoxical nature of my being a human being that travels backwards through time. My travels backwards through time is what influences my natural time self to discover how to travel through time. So what caused it to happen in the first place? If I don't discover it then I can't travel backwards in time. And someday in the future from today I will begin traveling backwards in time.

I've got to find another outlet for my ravings. I stopped long ago keeping a private journal in a text file. Then I stopped publishing my blog. I can still keep a journal in my email that I transmit to myself across the wire but that isn't very fulfilling.
I've got to find something else to do.
I am totally kidding myself that I am even making the slightest impact on anything with what I am doing with what I document and write. I am totally deluded to think I am ever going to have a positive impact on changing the course of the aspirations of mass destruction and mayhem of Microsoft Corbis Bill Gates al Qaida.
Rationalizing with sociopaths is impossible.
This morning, November 3rd, just as I was capturing these illustrations from my DVD's, in the background streaming from an Amazon Prime station, the song by Cage the Elephant began playing.

Cage The Elephant
"Telescope"
In a far and distant galaxy
Inside my telescope I see
A pair of eyes peer back at me
He walks and talks and looks like me
Sits around inside his house
From room to room he moves about
Fills his life with pointless things
And wonders how it all turns out
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well-spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
Too terrified to find a thing
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sound
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
The walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well-spent
Or time I've wasted
Here in my mind
Losing my friends
Fall on my face
Do it again
You say, "How do you do?"
Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
To be free
To be sold
To be killed
To be saved
In my head, I'm alone
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
Just like you
I've been tryin' to escape
In my bones I feel cold
I give thanks to the Lord
Industry
In this street
Let me go
Let me be
I don't need to be here
I'm alone
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
These walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well-spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it

Daybreak
(from internet transcript)
No one is stealing from you, Dad, all right? Now you just shut up.
You're in enough trouble already.
I'm out of here.
You're lucky I don't call the cops.
Yes.
Yes, we are, Nurse Barbara.
Thank you.
Now, listen, I'll pay you double, triple.
I thought I asked you to wait in the car.
This be the new one you be banging, eh? None of your bloody business.
Nurse Barbara, please.
I've got 500 cubits, 1,000.
for you to stay the night! Please! I'll take all the knives away! He'll be on liquid diet forever.
Just spend one frakking night! How about you, love? Bet you charge a lot more than that, eh? Shut your filthy mouth.
Stop being so disgusting.
This is your father, Gaius.
Not that you'd ever know it.
You see, Gaius is ashamed of his family.
I need this.
I need this like a frakking hole in the head.
Even his accent.
Stupid bastard actually changed his accent.
Would you believe that? That is the third nurse in a row now, Dad.
The third nurse.
Do you have any idea how much this is costing me? How much it costs, that's all he cares about now.
Not the way he was brought up, I can tell you.
But he don't like to think about that.
No, he don't like to think about living on a farm and doing a day's honest, hard work.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Enough! Enough! Shut up! Shut up right now! I won't stand here one moment longer and listen to your ridiculous working-class-hero rant.
Look at you! Look at your shirt that I bought you.
How you dribble and treat these things.
I'll break it down for you, Dad! You're an obnoxious, spiteful, cantankerous old git, and you're frakking lucky you're not living on the frakking street! Big man cursing his father.
Makes you feel important, don't it? (SIGHS) Gaius, maybe we should Maybe you should've stayed in the car, which is what I asked you to do.
I'm afraid that I'm going to have to ask you to leave now.
I'm sure that the driver can see you to your home.
I'm gonna spend the rest of this lovely evening with my dad.
Good night.

Glasses and binoculars
When Laura Roslin looks through the binoculars, she stops and says that she wants to see more detail. She puts on her glasses and then continues to look through the binoculars. It's unclear whether this is an "error".

"Third Planet"
Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I got this thing that I consider my only art
Of fucking people over
My boss just quit the job
Says he's going out to find blind spots
And he'll do it
The third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promised land
You're gonna shake the eye's hand
Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
Well, outside, naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflecting off the moon
And they become angels, fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end
Well, a third had just been made
And we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then; was it a son, was it a daughter
And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic, and how
Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
Well, outside, naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflecting off the moon
And they become angels, fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end
Well, a third had just been made
And we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then; was it a son, was it a daughter
And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic, and how
Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

Battlestar Galactica - television miniseries premiere episode - Monday 08 December 2003 USA
(from internet transcript of incomplete dialog)
(Inside the ship)
Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen, we are now on-route back to Caprica. If you look out the starboard window, you might be able to see one of Galactica's old Mark II Vipers, which will be escorting us back home...
(At Baltar's house - he has his hands clasped, as though in prayer, and the television is on.)
Reporters: We don't have any more information yet, but, uh... / ...all remaining ships able to leave Caprica... / ...no actual enemy has yet been sighted... / ...get out into the open countryside or the lesser populated areas of the city... / ...but there doesn't seem to be any doubt... (One tv feed goes out. On the other, we can see the force of a blast before it too goes to static.)
Baltar: What have I done? What am I gonna do? There's no way out.
Six: I know.
Baltar: Sure you know. That's your doing, isn't it? Wait. Wait, there has to be another way out of here. I mean, I mean, you must have an escape plan. You're not about to be destroyed by your own bombs, are you? How are you leaving? (There's a bright blast outside.) Ow!
Six: Gaius. I can't die. When this body is destroyed, my memory, my consciousness, will be transmitted to a new one. I'll just wake up somewhere else in an identical body.
Baltar: You mean there's more out there like you?
Six: There are twelve models. I'm number six.
Baltar: (crying) I don't want to die. I don't want-
Six: Get down. (She pushes him down as the windows explode.)
(We see the surface of the planet - there are lots and lots of explosions.)
(Galactica - Adama is in his quarters reading. The intercom buzzes.)
Gaeta: CIC to commanding officer.
Adama: (picking up the phone) Go ahead.
Gaeta: I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, but we have a Priority 1 alert message from Fleet Headquarters. It was transmitted in the clear.
Adama: In the clear? What does it say?
Gaeta: "Attention all Colonial units. Cylon attack underway. This is no drill."
Adama: I'll be right there.

"Thrills"
(originally by The Chakachas)
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all Vanity.
And that's about the way it is in the marry-go-round
You get on...
You go around...
Standing in the saddle...
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all vanity.
He tries thrills.
He said I gave myself to enjoy pleasure.
What are teenagers doing today?
They're trying every thrill there is in the books.
We got color TV,
But it still isn't satisfying.
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies....
And it's all vanity.
(Shouts-kind of non-understandable)
You can't understand it,
It's going so loud,
And so-forth and they're wiggling and wobbling around
And everything else,
And-and yet they're not satisfied
And these disc jockies,
They hear the tune and it's different!
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies....
And it's all Vanity.
You can't understand it,
It's going so loud,
And so-forth and they're wiggling and wobbling around
And everything else,
And-and yet they're not satisfied
And these disc jockies,
They hear the tune and it's different!
Hears the tune and it's different!
Man is Born,
