Commander William Adama: [Adama finds Lee sitting alone in the Viper hangar the night before a big mission. He sits next to him] Can't sleep? I couldn't either before a big op. [Looks at Viper] Mark II. Good ship. Got me out of a lot of tough scrapes. Got something for you. Belonged to your grandfather. [Hands Lee a cigarette lighter] My mom bought it for him when he was in law school. See the engraving on it?
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: [the lighter reads 'Joseph Adama'] Yeah I can barely make it out but...
Commander William Adama: He was a better father than I was. Dad used to carry that into court cases. Claimed he never lost unless he left it behind.
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: So you're worried too?
Commander William Adama: About what?
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: You know sometimes it feels like the whole ship thinks uh, Starbuck would do better.
Commander William Adama: I don't.
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: How can you be so sure?
Commander William Adama: Because you're my son. [the two stare quietly at each other for a moment] Get some rest. You're gonna need it. [Gets up to walk away]
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: Dad? [Holds up lighter] I'll bring it back.
Commander William Adama: You better, or I'll kick your ass. That's a good lighter.
