Quotes
-
Boxey : I don't want her to go! I don't want her to go.
Captain Apollo : I know. But it's her body that's gone, Boxey, not her spirit, or her love for us. We'll have that always, forever.
-
Captain Apollo : How do you feel?
Lieutenant Boomer : Awful. But it beats being dead.
-
Captain Apollo : Serina, you get your tail back aboard the Galactica.
Serina : Now is that any way to talk to an officer? I'll have you up on charges. Or at very least locked out of my chambers.
-
Serina : Even if all we had was a brief time, it will be worth an eternity.
Captain Apollo : We will have an eternity, too.
Serina : Do you believe that?
Captain Apollo : You've convinced me. A spirit like yours just can't end.
-
Serina : [as he searches for Starbuck on the radar screen] How long will you watch that?
Captain Apollo : I just can't believe he's gone.
Serina : Apollo, I loved him too. That's why I think he'd understand. Even approve.
Captain Apollo : Understand? Approve what?
Serina : Apollo, marry me now.
Captain Apollo : [they look deep into each other's eyes] Now? Right in the middle of...?
Serina : Of what? A disaster, a void, an endless night? I don't care. I just don't want to wait... for a moment which might never happen.
[he lifts up her chin, stares into her eyes, stands aside in thought]
Serina : Do you love me?
Captain Apollo : Is that what it would take to prove it to you?
Serina : I just want every moment that we have left before another centon passes, another mission where I might lose you.
[weeps quietly, he takes her in his arms, she rests her head on his shoulder, he holds her close]

Lieutenant Starbuck : Apollo, what do you plan on doing for living quarters after you're married?
Captain Apollo : Oh, I am so excited! I just found this place in the Astrodon freighter. With a little paint and some nice curtains, it's so cozy!
Lieutenant Starbuck : You always were good with color.
[after the female warriors continue talking in the background]
Captain Apollo : Mmm, you'll never believe what I found. I just found some Valcron in the Tip Barge.
Lieutenant Starbuck : REALLY? The soft, translucent kind?
Captain Apollo : [effeminately] Absolutely stunning!
-
Captain Apollo : We thought you were dead.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Yeah, well, what's a little base star to an old war jock like me?
Captain Apollo : [laughs, suddenly realizing] Base star?
-
Captain Apollo : [as Starbuck zooms off] Don't be crazy, Starbuck, if you get too far ahead of me, you're gonna lose your fix. Now slow up and give me a chance to catch up!
[then spots another pilot acting on own accord]
Captain Apollo : Serena, you get your tail back aboard the Galactica!
Serina : Now is that any way to talk to an officer? I'll have you up on charges. Or at the very least, locked out of my chambers.
Captain Apollo : Serena, you're a good pilot. My head believes that even if my stomach doesn't. But this void can swallow up good pilots, so go back.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Apollo!
Captain Apollo : Yo!
Lieutenant Starbuck : Whatever the Galactica picked up on her scanners, is beyond our range. I can't go any further without losing my fix on the Galactica.
Captain Apollo : Then go back.
Lieutenant Starbuck : I got a better idea. I'll keep my fix on you, you keep your fix on the home base. We can double our range.
Serina : I have a better idea. Apollo can lock on me, I'll fix on the Galactica, and we can triple our range.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Who was that?
Captain Apollo : Nobody. Just come back, Starbuck. If anybody's going on deep probe, it will be me. I'm in command.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Sorry. Consider it a wedding present.

Captain Apollo : [as they survey the ancient structures, Apollo holds her close] The old writings. They have him beguiled. He sits up there in the temple waiting for I-don't-know-what.
Serina : Apollo, those scriptures sent us here.
Captain Apollo : No, a burnt-out sun led us, nothing more.
Serina : [leaning back, looking up at him] All right, dear Practical, but isn't it comforting to know that there is more to life than a burnt-out star and ruins?
