Adama: Listen, you were right. I was wrong. Just leave it at that.
Roslin: (nods) All right. (pause) There's no Earth. You made it all up. President Adar and I once talked about the legends surrounding Earth. He knew nothing about a secret location regarding Earth, and if the President knew nothing about it, what are the chances that you do?
Adama: You're right. There's no Earth. It's all a legend.
Roslin: Then why?
Adama: Because, it's not enough to just live. You have to have something to live for. Let it be Earth.
Roslin: They'll never forgive you.
Adama: Maybe. But in the meantime, I've given all of us a fighting chance to survive. And isn't that what you said was the most important thing? The survival of the human race?
Roslin: Who else knows?
Adama: Not a soul.
Roslin: All right. I'll keep your secret, but I want something in return.
Adama: I'm listening.
Roslin: If a civilization is going to function, it's going to need a government. A civilian government, run by the President of the Colonies.
Adama: (stands up, straightens his jacket) So you'll be in charge of the fleet. The military decisions stay with me.
Roslin: Yes.
Adama: Well then I'll think about it, Madame President.

Lee Adama "Apollo": (seeing Baltar get off the Raptor) That him?
Boomer: Yeah. (loudly) Hope he's worth it! Sorry sir.
Apollo: Don't be. I hope he's worth it too. Dr. Baltar, Captain Lee Adama. The President's asked to see you, sir.
Dr Gaius Baltar: President Adar is alive?
Apollo: No, I'm afraid Adar is dead. President Laura Roslin was sworn in a couple of hours ago.
Baltar: Oh. Who?
Apollo: If you'll come with me, I'll - She's this way.
(Back in the main area of the ship)
Laura Roslin: ...I really appreciate it, thank you so much. Oh, Dr. Baltar. It's a pleasure to meet you. We met at last year's Caprica City Symposium.
Baltar: Oh, of course. You'll have to forgive me, I'm bad with faces.
Roslin: Oh, no, that's perfectly all right. I'm sure I wouldn't remember me either. Doctor, I need you to serve as my chief scientific consultant and analyst, regarding the Cylons and their technology.
Baltar: I'd be honored, Madame President.

(Boomer starts to take off. A man climbs onto the side of the ship and Helo shoots him. He and Boomer wave at each other as she leaves.)
(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.

KIRK: How is she, Doc?
MCCOY: No change.
NANCY: Small thanks to the Starfleet.
MCCOY: Now really, Commissioner, you can't blame the Starfleet.
NANCY: I should've received the proper inoculations ahead of time.
MCCOY: Sakuro's disease is extremely rare. The chances of anyone contracting it are literally billions to one.
NANCY: I was sent to Epsilon Canaris Three to prevent a war, Doctor. Thanks to the inefficiency of the medical branch of the Starfleet, I've been forced to leave before my job was done.
KIRK: Commissioner, I can assure you that once we reach the Enterprise, with its medical facilities, we'll have you back to your job in time for you to prevent that war.

Adama: Listen. I'm not gonna defend what she did, especially the cracks about your marital problems. But you did kick over the table first.
Tigh: I did not. (pauses) Unless I did.
Adama: You did. So what do you say we just drop the formal charges, throw her in the brig, cool her heels off until we get home.
Tigh: You always did have a soft spot for her.
Adama: Yeah, I guess I'm just a crazy old man.

Camera pans down to Laura Roslin, sitting in a chair in front of a desk. She's looking out the window, and jumps at the sound of the door. A doctor in a white coat walks in.)
Doctor: I'm afraid the tests are positive. The mass is malignant. It's advanced well beyond our... (Noises drown him out - we see a ship taking off and then moving through space.)
(Inside the ship, a futuristic food and drink cart goes by.)
Billy (Roslin's assistant): So I also sent the President a copy of your speech for Galactica's retirement. Uh, hopefully he'll have a chance to review it, but there is a thirty-minute time delay between Galactica and...

Dualla: The lead ship is requesting permission to come alongside, sir. They say - they say they have the president of the colonies aboard.
Tigh: Grant the request.
(Cut to Tigh and Roslin discussing the situation.)
Tigh: We are in the middle of repairing and rearming this ship. We can't afford to lose a single man off the line to start caring for refugees.
Roslin: We have fifty thousand people out there. Some of them are hurt. Our priority has to be caring for refugees.
Tigh: My priority is preparing this ship for combat. In case you haven't heard, there's a war on.
Roslin: Colonel, the war is over. And we lost.
Tigh: We'll see about that.
Roslin: Oh yes, we will. In the meantime, however, as the President of the Colonies, I'm giving you a direct order. To provide -
Tigh: You don't give orders on this ship.

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.

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

Controversy deepens over inquiry into leak of CIA officer's identity
By Mike Allen
The Washington Post
The controversy erupted over the weekend, when administration officials reported that Tenet sent the Justice Department a letter raising questions about whether federal law was broken when the operative, Valerie Plame, was exposed. She was named in a column by Robert Novak that ran July 14 in The Post and other newspapers.

Are you suggesting we assign this job to inferior personnel?
No, I understand.
Two teams.
One to do the job, the other to be a diversion.
You mean decoys? Targets?
Exactly.
