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

(from internet transcript)

(Cut to a tv screen, where a reporter, whose name is given as Kellan Brody, is talking to a man, Dr. Gaius Baltar.)

Brody: For those of you just joining us from the pyramid game on Geminon, welcome to The Spotlight, our weekly interview program devoted to people making news on Caprica.

(Gaius is looking out the window and then looking at his watch.)

Brody: Today, we're talking to Dr. Gaius Baltar, winner of three Magnet Awards over the course of his career, a media cult figure and a personal friend of President Adar's. He is currently working as a top consultant for the ministry of defense on computer issues, but he's perhaps best known for his controversial views on advancing computer technology. (The camera pans around so that we can see that Baltar is giving the interview from his home. Nice place.) Dr. Baltar, again, welcome.

Baltar: Thank you, Kellan. And first may I say how lovely you're looking, and secondly, what an absolute pleasure it is to be on the show.

Brody: Well, we're delighted to have you with us. Could you summarize your views for our audience?

Baltar: Yes, I'd be happy to. My position is very simple. (Off to the side, we see Number Six walk into the house and put a metal box down on a table.) The ban on research and development into artificial intelligence is, as we all know, a holdover from the Cylon Wars. Quite frankly, I find this to be an outmoded concept. It serves no useful purpose except to impede our efforts.

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

(from internet transcript)

(Cut to the pilots' briefing room)

CAG: Morning.

Pilots: Morning, sir.

CAG: All right. Now today's the main event. We have a formation demonstration, fly-by maneuvers in conjunction with the decommissioning ceremony. I've got a few changes to the flight plan. Lt. Thrace is being replaced in the slot by Lt. Anders. Also, we have, uh, Captain Lee Adama joining us, and he's going to be flying lead during the fly-by, so please, welcome, Captain.

(Clapping, scattered welcomes. Apollo nods at Helo and Boomer.)

CAG: Now thanks to Chief Tyrol and his deck gang, Captain, you're gonna have the honor of flying the actual Viper that your father flew almost forty years ago.

Apollo: (after a long pause) Great. That's... quite an honor.

CAG: Yes it is, Captain. And personally, I can't think of a better way to send this ship into retirement.

(Back to Caprica City)

Baltar: (Walking outdoors with Number Six) It may interest you to know that the final results of the CMP project are working close to 95% efficiency throughout the fleet. Hold your applause, please.

Six: No applause for me? I doubt you would have ever completed the project without me.

Baltar: Yes, well, you helped a bit.

Six: I rewrote half your algorithms.

Baltar: All right, you were extremely helpful, but let's not forget, you got something out of it. All that poking around inside the defense mainframe.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

(from internet transcript)

SPOCK: Ready to engage computer, Admiral.

KIRK: What is our target in time?

SPOCK: Late twentieth century.

KIRK: Surely you can be more specific.

SPOCK: Not with this equipment. I have had to programme some of the variables from memory.

KIRK: What are some of the variables?

SPOCK: Availability of fuel components, mass of the vessel through a time continuum, and the probable location of humpback whales, in this case, the Pacific basin.

KIRK: You've programmed that from memory?

SPOCK: I have.

McCOY: Angels and ministers of grace, defend us.

SPOCK: Hamlet, Act one scene four.

KIRK: No doubts about your memory. Engage computer. Prepare for warp speed.
