Episode Quotes

Season 3 / Episode 3: - Exodus (1)

Commander William Adama: [Adama walks into the CIC having just given the order to make the ship ready for battle to rescue the colonists off of New Caprica. The crew is clearly nervous. He walks up to the plot table and picks up a speaker] This is the Admiral. You've heard the news. You know the mission. You should also know that there is only one way this mission ends, and that's with the successful rescue of our people off of New Caprica. Look around you. Take a good look at the men and women that stand next to you. Remember their faces, for one day you will tell your children and your grandchildren that you served with such men and women that the universe has never seen. And together, you accomplished a feat that will be told and retold down through the ages and find immortality as only the gods once knew. I'm proud to serve with you. Good Hunting!

Commander William Adama: Begin Jump Prep.
Lt. Karl C. 'Helo' Agathon: Action Stations. Set condition one throughout the ship and standby for combat jump.

Season 3 / Episode 3: - Exodus (1)

Dr. Gaius Baltar: [to Caprica Six] Well let me tell you about my day. It was a hoot. Had the most fascinating chat with one of the Dorals. He's got this theory about sanitation being the key to regaining human trust and confidence. Something about toilet paper. No, lack of toilet paper, that's it. How if people could only wipe their bums properly, there would be a measurable uptick in the polls.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: In the previous episode when Jammer releases Callie and tells her to run, she falls off a cliff and then runs into a forest where we hear shots fired, whereas when the same scene is shown in this episode, neither does Callie fall down anywhere nor is there any forest through which she runs; she is intercepted by Chief Tyrol on the hill and both of them fall down on rocks with no tree in sight.

TRIVIA

"Exodus" was originally planned as a single-episode story, but was later expanded into a two-part story.
Chief Tyrol appears in this episode clean-shaven. He filmed his scenes for this episode weeks after the other scenes were shot. The producers felt a fake beard would not appear realistic so Tyrol appeared without the beard.
Oracle Selloi is the first oracle to be shown in the series, although oracles have been mentioned previously. Chief Tyrol's mother was an oracle.
The character of Cally was never given a last name through the first two seasons of the show. It was even uncertain whether the name Cally was her first or last name. She is finally identified by the New Caprica Police as Cally Tyrol in this episode. Her maiden name, while not acknowledged on screen, has been established as Cally Henderson by the writers.
