BSG 1x09 Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down

Baltar - Look, it's not magic, it's science. If you want my result, you're gonna have to wait a while.
Adama - I gave you her sample this morning.
Baltar - I have started and stopped the test twice already now so I'm running a little behind.
Adama - Twice?
Roslin - My fault... long story.
Adama - Your fault?
Baltar - Yes, I probably shouldn't have mentioned that.
Roslin - No, you probably shouldn't have.
Adama - Did you tell him to stop Ellen's tests?
Roslin - Yes, I did.
Adama - Why?
Roslin - Well, I had some concerns.
Adama - About what?
Roslin - In all honesty, I think it's fair to say that your behavior recently has been odd.
Adama - My behavior? What, do you think I'm a Cylon? Me?
Roslin - You can't deny that you've been making these-- what are they called... off-log calls? These mysterious trips off the ship.
Adama - Where did you hear that? Have you been spying o­n me, o­n my own ship!
Baltar - Ladies and gentlemen, please, please. We're in a laboratory. There are hazardous chemical compounds everywhere. That-- that's a thermo-nuclear bomb, for frak's sake.
Apollo - What-- what do you mean, unlogged-- mysterious trips... what's going o­n?
Adama - I had to go to the Rising Star and I didn't want Tigh to know about it.
Roslin - Why not?
Adama - Because whether or not his wife is a Cylon, she's nothing but trouble and I wanted to keep her away from him as long as I could.
Apollo - Well, then, why did you bring her o­n board the ship?
Adama - Because she's his wife! I couldn't refuse her access to her own husband without causing suspicion. Besides, I wanted her close to me.
Ellen - I told you! I told you he wanted me.
Baltar - Oh, lovely.
Tigh - What the hell's going o­n? You have been secretly visiting my wife?
Adama - No! Yes-- but it's complicated.
Ellen - I told you. He's been after me for years!
Adama - What?
Ellen - Now, boys, boys, don't fight over little ol' me.
Roslin - Ellen, be quiet!
Ellen - No, you don't tell me—
Apollo - I think we should all just take a deep, deep breath.
Adama - I was afraid that she might be a Cylon. So I brought her blood over here and had it tested.
Roslin - That's why you cancelled your test?
Adama - How'd you know about that?
Tigh - You didn't tell me he was testing my wife.
Adama - You met with the President?
Roslin - Yes. She thought you might be a Cylon.
Adama - I know.
Gaeta o­n intercom - Attention, pass the word to the Commander the X.O. And the C.A.G. Commander Adama, Colonel Tigh, Captain Adama please report to C.I.C.

Rien ne vaut un long discours...

G'Kar: Do you want to be President?
John Sheridan: Yes.
G'Kar: Put your hand on the book and say "I do."
Sheridan: I do.
G'Kar: Good. Done. Let's eat.

Babylon 5, 5x01 No Compromises

Remède au Cafard

Scully: [Watching Dr. Berenbaum and Ivanov walking away] Well, think of it this way, Mulder. By the time there's another invasion of artificially-intelligent, dung-eating robotic probes from outer space, maybe their uber-children will have devised a way to save our planet.

L'allégorie du Mal

See, for us, there is no fight. Which is why winning doesn't enter into it. We...go on, no matter what. Our firm has always been here...in one form or another. The Inquisition. The Khmer Rouge. We were there when the very first cave man clubbed his neighbor. See, we're in the hearts and minds of every single living being. And that, friend, is what's making things so difficult for you. See, the world doesn't work in spite of evil, Angel. It works with us. It works because of us.

J'adore quand il s'énerve...

Did the defendant make mistakes? Sure he did, serious mistakes, but did he actually commit any crimes? Did he commit treason? No. It was an impossible situation. When the Cylons arrived what could he possibly do? What could anyone have done? I mean, ask yourself, what would you have done? What would you have done? If he had refused to surrender, the Cylons would've probably nuked the planet, right then and there. So did he appear to co-operate with the Cylons? Sure, so did hundreds of others. What's the difference between him and them? The President issued a blanket pardon. They were all forgiven, no questions asked. Colonel Tigh? Colonel Tigh used suicide bombers, killed dozens of people, forgiven. Lieutenant Agathon and chief Tyrol murdered an officer on the Pegasus, forgiven. The admiral? The admiral instituted a military coup d'etat against the President, forgiven. And me? Well, where do I begin? I shot down a civilian passenger ship, the Olympic Carrier, over a thousand people on board, forgiven. I raised my weapon to a superior officer, committed an act of mutiny, forgiven. And then on the very day when Baltar surrendered to those Cylons, I, as commander of Pegasus, jumped away! I left everybody on that planet, alone, undefended for months. I even tried to persuade the admiral never to return, to abandon you all there for good. If I'd had my way nobody would have made it off that planet. I'm the coward, I'm the traitor, I'm forgiven. I'd say we're very forgiving of mistakes. We make our own laws now, our own justice, and we've been pretty creative with ways to let people off the hook. For everything from theft to murder. And we've had to be, because we're not a civilization anymore, we are a gang, and we're on the run, and we have to fight to survive. We have to break rules, we have to bend laws, we have to improvise! But not this time, no, not this time, not for Gaius Baltar. No, you, you have to die! You have to die, because, well, because we don't like you very much. Because you're arrogant, because you're weak, because you're a coward, and we, the mob, want to throw you out the airlock because you didn't stand up to the Cylons and get yourself killed in the process! That's justice now! You should've been killed back on New Caprica, but since you had the temerity to live, we're going to execute you now. That's justice!

Lee Adama, 3x20 Crossroads part II, Battlestar Galactica

C'est pas faux...

Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes…all of this…all of this…was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.

 Mais là tout de suite ça va être dur...

J'aime beaucoup ce personnage, sa façon de se battre pour ses idéaux. Il est parfois un peu barbant mais sait se montrer plein de surprises ... 

parthénogénèse

Peter: fairly certain you used to have some sort of ego...

Tom: i did, it got so big it left me.

Peter: actually thats quite funny

Tom: oh, you've no idea

Question de perspective

Michael: So .. this is the magic trick, huh?

Gob: "Illusion," Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money. [Michael points out that a bunch of kids are staring at Gob with their mouths open] ... Or cocaine !

Aux petits oignons

Agent Colton: So Mulder, what do you think? Does this look like the work of little green men?

Mulder: Grey.

Agent Colton: Excuse me?

Mulder: Grey. You said green men. A Reticulan's skin tone is actually grey. They're notorious for their extraction of terrestrial human livers. Due to iron depletion in the Reticulan galaxy.

Agent Colton: You can't be serious.

Mulder: Do you have any idea what liver and onions go for on Reticula?

Jack: We're a secret organization hunting alien technology from an underground base, and you want a rota for who drives.
Gwen: ...Just trying to help.
