Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 8: - Flesh and Bone

President Laura Roslin: Put him out the air lock.
Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: What? You can't do that, not after he told you the truth.
President Laura Roslin: Yes, I can, and I will. Lieutenant, look at me. You've lost perspective. During the time I've allowed him to remain alive and captive on this ship, he has caused our entire fleet to spread out defenseless. He puts insidious ideas in our minds, more lethal than any warhead. He creates fear, but you're right. He's a machine, and you don't keep a deadly machine around when it kills your people and threatens your future. You get rid of it.

Season 1 / Episode 8: - Flesh and Bone

Leoben Conoy: I see love that bonds everything together.
Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: You don't know the meaning of the word.
Leoben Conoy: I know that God loved you more than anything. And how did you repay His divine love? With sin. Evil. So God created the Cylons.
Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: The gods did not create you! We did! It was a stupid and fracked up decision, and we are paying for it. You destroyed my entire race! That is sin! That is evil! *That* is what *you* are.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: During Starbuck's interrogation of Leoben she has the guards submerge his head in a vat of water. The water quickly becomes red and clouded from the blood on his face. When a later shot shows Leoben's face as he holds his breath underwater (a view looking up from the bottom of the vat) the water is crystal clear and unclouded.
