Season 2 / Episode 4: - Resistance

Crewman Specialist Cally: [mechanics are building a new brig cell to imprison suspected Cylons] They're putting the Chief in there, you know.
Jammer: I don't care if they put a giant parakeet in here. Colonel says build a cell, we build a cell.
Crewman Specialist Cally: This isn't right. He's one of us!
Jammer: No, he's one of them. He always was. We just never saw it.
Crewman Specialist Cally: No, he's innocent! She tricked him!
Jammer: Wow, such loyalty. Were you fracking him too?

Jammer: You want to get pissed at someone, you get pissed at Boomer. She's the one who put the Chief in the cell here, not us.

Season 2 / Episode 4: - Resistance

Crewman Specialist Cally: [Chief Tyrol has been wrongly accused by Col. Tigh of being a Cylon] I've known the Chief for years. He's no Toaster!
Doctor Gaius Baltar: He was involved with Lieutenant Valerii, who most certainly is a Toaster.
Number Six: That word is racist! I don't like it!
Crewman Specialist Cally: Sure... he's shown some bad judgment getting involved with her. But that doesn't mean he's a Toaster. You've got to help him.
Number Six: Say something, Gaius. Tell her you won't have racial epithets used in your presence!

TRIVIA

The weapon carried by Sue-Shaun when first meeting "Starbuck" and "Helo" is a British Army L85 Rifle 5.56mm (commonly known as the SA-80). Not a weapon generally used in film and TV making but futuristic looking enough for the show.
SPOILER: Cally shooting Boomer at point blank range while Boomer is being transferred is a historical reference to Jack Ruby murdering Lee Harvey Oswald (the accused assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy) while being transferred from his cell, _Aaron Douglas_ stated that he wanted the scene to resemble the video of the famous shooting as much as possible.
Opening credits say there are 47,861 human survivors.
