(from internet transcript)
Adama: Bring me our position.
Specialist: Yes, sir.
Tigh: You don't want to do this.
Adama: I know I don't.
Tigh: Because any sane man wouldn't. It's been, what, twenty, twenty-two years?
Adama: We trained for this.
Tigh: Training is one thing, but - if we're off in our calculations by even a few degrees, we could end up in the middle of the sun.
Adama: No choice. Colonel Tigh, please plot a hyperlight jump from our position to the orbit of Ragnar.
Tigh: Yes, sir.
(Galactica - the flight pods are retracting.)
Tigh: The board is green. The ship reports ready to jump, sir.
Adama: Then take us to Ragnar, Colonel.
Tigh: Lt. Gaeta.
Gaeta: Yes, sir.
Tigh: Execute the jump.
Gaeta: (on intercom) All decks prepare for immediate FTL jump.
