- Flight Sergeant Jolly: Well, whoever it is, doesn't seem too interested in us. Let's turn around and get out of here.
- Captain Bojay: Jolly, you speak the wisdom of the Lords.
- Lieutenant Boomer: Nice play? Yeah, sure. Just once I'd like to beat you two.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Ah, Boomer, I'm sure there's something your good at. Anyway, what do you expect from a natural born athlete?
- Lieutenant Boomer: [hits him in the chest with his headgear] Just for that, you're doing the buying.
- Colonel Tigh: I'm afraid nobody's buying. Emergency meeting in the war room.
- Lieutenant Boomer: For Sagan's sake, colonel, have a heart. We just ran ourselves ragged playing Triad, and, er, I need a drink.
- Colonel Tigh: You'll need one even more when you find out what's happened.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Who is this guy?
- Captain Apollo: I don't know. I get a very strange feeling about him.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: Er, well, that makes two of us.
- Count Iblis: [sighs] I'm weary, I'm drained of energy.
- Lieutenant Sheba: We have some emergency rations with us, we'll be happy to share with you.
- Count Iblis: You're very kind. It's not food I require.
- Captain Apollo: How did you survive the crash?
- Count Iblis: I don't know.
- Count Iblis: Maybe I can help you with your quest.
- Captain Apollo: What quest was that?
- Count Iblis: Whatever it is you're looking for.
- [dramatic pause]
- Count Iblis: My knowledge of the universe is infinite.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [about Count Iblis] Likable, but a little on the loony side
- Captain Apollo: Maybe, maybe not.
- Colonel Tigh: I just received a word from the bridge - our visitor just left there with Sheba. We're tracking them down now.
- Commander Adama: Just left the bridge? What are we running here? A perfect stranger comes aboard the Galactica, and he's given access to a sensitive military control centre?
- Colonel Tigh: It does seem a bit out of the ordinary.
- Commander Adama: Out of the ordinary? Is that all you have to say?
- Commander Adama: Now where in the name of Hades is he, and how did he get free run of the ship? Which one of you has an answer?
- Captain Apollo: Father, I left him...
- Count Iblis: [enters unannounced] Pardon me...
- Captain Apollo: [Sheba storms off after an argument about Count Iblis] She thinks I'm insensitive.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: You? If she thinks you're insensitive, where does that leave me?
- Count Iblis: All people are capable of feeling each other's thoughts. It merely takes time and experience. Place your trust in me, and I promise you all things will be possible.
- Lieutenant Sheba: What is it? What are they?
- Count Iblis: Don't be frightened. They cannot hurt you as long as you're with me.
- Lieutenant Sheba: The lights? But they're so beautiful.
- Count Iblis: Don't be beguiled. They taunt you with a glow that conceals everlasting darkness. Look away, Sheba, you are safe with me.
- Count Iblis: You're searching for a place called Earth.
- Commander Adama: [about Captain Apollo] My son told you that.
- Count Iblis: You are of the House of Kobol. Your tribes are scattered. The thirteenth journeyed to Earth several millennia ago.
- Commander Adama: Tell me about their civilisation.
- Count Iblis: It has known great rises and falls.
- Commander Adama: Who are you? Where are you from?
- [dramatic pause]
- Commander Adama: Is their civilisation strong enough to defeat the Cylons.
- Count Iblis: Your people will be safe... under my leadership.
- Commander Adama: Did I hear you correctly? Did you say under *your* leadership?
- Count Iblis: Of course, Adama. Why do you think I'm here? I've come to prepare your way to Earth.
- Commander Adama: He may be decended from the same roots as our own race. Freedom of choice, to choose between one thing or another, between one action or another, between good and evil, is the cornerstone of our civilisation.
- Count Iblis: Therefore, I will grant you your first wish, before you have decided on your third. I will deliver your enemy unto you this night.
- Commander Adama: [narrating] This is an event unlike any we've experienced since the destruction of our civilization. Baltar's ship has reached our quadrant and is being intercepted by an elite squadron which will escort the treasonous instrument of our holocaust directly into our hands. Word is spreading like sunbursts through every corner of the fleet. It's a jubilation unprecedented as Baltar is brought before the Council of Twelve. It is just as Count Iblis promised. Our enemy has been delivered.
- Captain Apollo: Count Iblis, you will either accompany me as my guest... or as my prisoner. Your choice.
- Lieutenant Sheba: Apollo, I think you're being terribly rude. Of course Count Iblis will go to see Adama if that is his wish.
- [to the Count:]
- Lieutenant Sheba: Won't you?
- Count Iblis: [bows his head smartly] If it is your pleasure, my princess.
- [Sheba is much taken with Count Iblis, and the unlikely couple is about to leave]
- Captain Apollo: Sheba, are you okay?
- Lieutenant Sheba: Of course. What are you talking about?
- Captain Apollo: You don't seem yourself.
- Lieutenant Sheba: How would you know? You never really knew me. This is the only man who has ever truly known me.
- [she leaves]
- Count Iblis: Apollo, don't ever make the mistake of threatening me again. Or you'll forfeit your life in the wink of an eye.
- [he leaves]
- Cassiopeia: When all of our medical technology fails, we still resort to blatant feminine wiles.
- Captain Apollo: Mm-hmm.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: What happened?
- Cassiopeia: Well, I certainly think he was the most charming man I've ever met.
- Lieutenant Starbuck: [rather dismayed] The, uh, most charming?
