Battlestar Galactica - television miniseries - 12/08/2003, 12/09/2003

(internet transcript)

(Colonial One - Baltar is alone, with paperwork spread out before him)

Six: I see they've put you to work. (He looks over, sees her sitting next to him.) Ignoring me won't help.

Baltar: No, I've decided you're an expression of my, uh, subconscious mind playing itself out through my waking states.

Six: Oh, I'm only in your head?

Baltar: Exactly.





Six: Hmm. Have you considered the possibility that I could very well exist *only* in your head? Without being a hallucination? Maybe you see and hear me, because while you were sleeping, I implanted a chip in your brain that transmits my image right into your conscious mind.

Baltar: No, no, see that's me again. My subconscious self is expressing irrational fears, which I must choose to ignore.

Six: (moving closer to him) What are you working on?

Baltar: If you were really a chip in my head, I wouldn't have to tell you, now would I?

Six: Indulge me.

Baltar: I'm trying to figure out how you managed to pull this kind of an attack. You virtually shut down the entire defense network without firing a shot.

Ian Donnelly: [narrating] Why did they park where they did? The world's most decorated experts can't crack that one. The most plausible theory is that they chose places on earth with the lowest incidence of lightning strikes. But there are exceptions. The next most plausible theory is that Sheena Easton had a hit song at each of these sites in 1980. So, we just don't know.

Battlestar Galactica - television series premiere episode 1 & 2 - episode 1 title "33" & episode 2 title "Water" - Friday 14 January 2005

(from internet transcript)

Daydream

#6: God is watching out for you, Gaius.

Baltar: The universe is a vast and complex system; coincidental, serendipitous events are bound to occur. Indeed, they're to be expected. They're part of the pattern, part of the plan.

#6: Dr. Amarak posed a threat to you. Now he's gone. Logic says there's a connection.

Baltar: A connection, maybe, but not God. There is no God, or gods, singular or plural. There are no large, invisible men -or women, for that matter- in the sky, taking a personal interest in the fortunes of Gaius Baltar.

#6: Be careful: that which God gives he can also take away.

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.

(from internet transcript)

OC Pilot: one other thing, Boomer: I've got a Dr. Amarak onboard. He claims he has an urgent matter to discuss with the President. He's been driving me crazy.

Boomer: Olympic Carrier, can you be more specific?

OC Pilot: I'm afraid I can't. He says he knows something about a traitor in our midst, and he's unwilling to share any more than that.

Colonial one

Baltar: Madam President, I strongly recommend that we cut off all wireless communication with that ship right away.

Roslin: W-what- why, why?

Baltar: Look, forgive me for being rude, (slaps the table) but wake up, all right?! The only reason the Olympic Carrier is still flying is because the Cylons let them survive. They've been tracking that ship all along. There's probably a cyclon agent aboard right now!

Roslin: Calm down! Start over.

Baltar: Please, Madam President, I implore you, listen to me. Cut off radio communication with that ship

Ian Donnelly: [upon first meeting] Priority one: What do they want and where are they from? And beyond that, how did they get here? Are they capable of faster-than-light travel? I've prepared a list of questions to go over, starting with a series of "handshake" binary sequences...

Louise Banks: How about we just talk to them before we start throwing math problems at them?

Colonel Weber: This is why you're both here. I'll bring the coffee...

Ian Donnelly: Coffee with some aliens...

Louise Banks: And "purpose" requires an understanding of intent. We need to find out, do they make conscious choices or is their motivation so instinctive that they don't understand a "why" question at all. And-And biggest of all, we need to have enough vocabulary with them that we understand their answer.

Arrival (2016)

(from internet transcript)

The theory that, uh...
It... it's the theory
that, uh,
the language
you speak determines
how you think and...
Yeah. It affects
how you see everything.

Arrival (2016)

Quotes

Ian Donnelly: [narrating] Like their ship or their bodies, their written language has no forward or backward direction. Linguists call this "nonlinear orthography," which raises the question, "Is this how they think?"

Quotes

Agent Halpern: We have to consider the idea that our visitors are prodding us to fight among ourselves until only one faction prevails.

Louise Banks: There's no evidence of that.

Agent Halpern: Sure there is. Just grab a history book. The British with India, the German with Rwanda...

Ian Donnelly: If you immerse yourself into a foreign language, then you can actually rewire your brain.

Louise Banks: Yeah, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It's the theory that the language you speak determines how you think and...

Ian Donnelly: Yeah, it affects how you see everything.

Louise Banks: Let's say that I taught them Chess instead of English. Every conversation would be a game. Every idea expressed through opposition, victory, defeat. You see the problem? If all I ever gave you was a hammer...

Colonel Weber: Everything's a nail.

Louise Banks: The weapon is their language. They gave it all to us. Do you understand what that means?

Colonel Weber: So we can learn heptapod. If we survive.

Louise Banks: If you learn it, when you really learn it, you begin to perceive time the way that they do.
