"Battlestar Galactica" Baltar's Escape (TV Episode 1979) - John Colicos as Count Baltar

Count Baltar : When we reach the Alliance, I'll be welcomed with open arms. I'll be treated like a prince. And so will those who are with me.

Maga : Your record to date does not exactly inspire confidence.

Count Baltar : I, eh, I had incompetent followers.

Maga : We do not follow, Baltar.

Count Baltar : Oh, no. No, no. Of course not. We're all comrades... in this together.

Maga : Good. When the time comes to escape, we will momentarily die.

Count Baltar : [clearly shocked] Die you said?

Maga : We do many things to survive... even die.
Count Baltar : The micron the hatch opens, you and your men will eliminate all guards and take as many hostages as possible.

Commandant Leiter : Don't worry. We are very good at such operations.

Count Baltar : I'm sure you are. Maga, you and your Nomen follow me to the lift. We can be on the bridge in a matter of microns.

Maga : And once we control the bridge...

Count Baltar : We control the Galactica!
Commander Adama : [communicating over the intercom] Do you think for one centon I believe you?

Count Baltar : You don't have a choice, Adama. If my demands are not followed to the letter within one centare, I'll kill these hostages one by one in front of you. Beginning with Lieutenant Boomer.
Count Baltar : [sizes up his opposition] Well now, Lieutenant Boomer! How nice to see you. Too bad Starbuck and Apollo aren't here. I could settle all my debts at once.
