Season 2 / Episode 2: - Valley of Darkness

Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [Starbuck has brought Helo to her old apartment on Caprica] You know, I never really liked this place anyway. The air conditioning doesn't work in the summer, the heater doesn't work in the winter, the rent's a crime. After the attack, I never... never pined over any of my old crap, never missed it - stupid view of that parking lot, broken toilet in the bathroom. You know, everyone I know is fighting to get back what they had. I'm fighting because I don't know how to do anything else.
