(The camera moves away from the group, follows a passing officer and then finds Commander Adama, who is reading over a speech.)

Adama: (reading to himself) The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why...

(He moves off. Adama goes back to reading his speech.)

Adama: The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget...

Starbuck: (jogging up from around the corner) Morning, Sir.

(from internet transcript)

(We follow Gaeta out into the hallway as Adama rehearses his speech yet again in the background. Colonel Tigh is leaning against a wall with a cup in his hand.)

Gaeta: Colonel? (They salute each other and then walk in different directions; we follow Tigh, who passes the same tour group.)

Tour guide: You'll see things here that look odd, even antiquated. (To Tigh) Hello. (Tigh walks past, we stay with the group.) Uh, antiquated to modern eyes, like phones with cords, awkward manual valves, computers that, well, barely deserve the name. It was all designed to operate against an enemy who could infiltrate and disrupt even the most basic computer systems. Galactica is a reminder of a time when we were so frightened by our enemies that we literally looked backward for protection.

(Caption: Galactica Attack Squadron, 2 hours from Caprica)

CAG (Commander, Air Group): Boomer. Acknowledge Galactica signals. Send them our position, tell them we've detected a formation of Cylon fighters directly ahead, and I intend to attack. Boomer, do you copy?

Boomer: Copy that.

Helo: Ease up there, Boomer. Take a deep breath.

Boomer: Stand by. Helo?

Helo: I show ten, no, no make that five, Cylon raiders on course 324, mark 110, speed 7.1, time to intercept, 7 minutes.

CAG: You don't sound too sure.

Boomer: There's a lot of jamming going on. Cylons are using a lot of defensive decoys. Sorting through them, but-

CAG: Understood. Just take your time, guide us in, we'll do the rest.

Boomer: Yes, sir.

(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.
