Cassiopeia : [in the corridor] Cain!
[running after him, catching up]
Cassiopeia : Cain. What is it? What's happening? I just heard you're returning to the Pegasus.
Commander Cain : That's right.
Cassiopeia : I was hoping we would talk.
Commander Cain : And I've been hoping you'd say that, but now is just not the time, Cassie.
Cassiopeia : Maybe I could ride over to the Pegasus in your shuttle.
Commander Cain : No, Cassie. It'd be safer for you here.
Cassiopeia : [alerted to something he's planning] Safer? Why? What are you going to do?
Commander Cain : It's a mission. Don't worry. I'll be all right. I always come back... I love you.
[goes off, leaving her fighting tears]
-
Cassiopeia : Starbuck!
Lieutenant Starbuck : Cassiopeia?
Cassiopeia : I have to talk to you.
[leads him aside]
Lieutenant Starbuck : Er, well, you picked a great time. We're getting ready to launch.
Cassiopeia : That's what I wanna talk to you about. I know about the jump. Where are they sending Cain?
Lieutenant Starbuck : I'm getting ready to jump into an inferno, and you wanna talk to me about Cain?
Cassiopeia : He isn't planning on coming back.
Captain Apollo : [impatiently] Starbuck... let's move.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Yeah, yeah. Look, Cassiopeia, I don't know what you heard about Cain, but he's a survivor, he'll be back, if that's what's worrying you.
Cassiopeia : Starbuck.
[frowns]
Cassiopeia : If Cain was expecting to survive, he would have taken me aboard the Pegasus.
Lieutenant Sheba : What are you talking about?
Captain Apollo : Nothing. We're all in the same fix. The odds are against us, but we'll get through. Now let's go!
Lieutenant Sheba : No, she's right. If he left her off of the ship, he's got to be planning something crazy. I have to get back to the Pegasus!
Captain Apollo : [grabs her by her shoulders] You're with us.
[wagging his finger under her nose]
Captain Apollo : Father's orders, remember?
Lieutenant Sheba : He doesn't even know anything about this. The whole thing was my idea.
Cassiopeia : I'll take her place.
Captain Apollo : You can't point out the solar command base on Gamoray. She can.
Cassiopeia : Where's your med-tech? I don't see one.
Captain Apollo : We don't have one.
Cassiopeia : You do now.
Lieutenant Starbuck : [to bemused Boomer] With support troops like this, who needs Cylons?
-
Lieutenant Bojay : [wounded] Put me down. I can't go anymore. Ah! Jeez!
Cassiopeia : He's got to stop all this running. The pressure on the sealed artery is enormous.
Lieutenant Sheba : [as Bojay cries out in pain] I'll stay with him.
Cassiopeia : No, you're needed with Apollo. I'll watch Bojay.
Captain Apollo : [spurring them on for the sake of the mission] She's right! We haven't much time!
-
Cassiopeia : Starbuck. I just want you to know that... uh... it is Bojay I'm thinking of.
Lieutenant Starbuck : I know.
Cassiopeia : That doesn't mean that... uh... that I've decided.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Hey. Hey, I know that too. Everyone's entitled to a little confusion in their lives. I practically thrive on it.
[they smile at each other, and he gets a kiss]
-
Lieutenant Bojay : [from sick-bay bed to Cassiopeia nursing him] Thanks for getting me back alive. You're quite a lady.
Cassiopeia : [smiles at him, then looks up at Sheba entering] He can talk, but not too long.
Lieutenant Bojay : [as Sheba stands teary-eyed next to his bed] I hear we closed them down good.
Lieutenant Sheba : [sniffs] Yeah, we really spoiled their party.
[brave smile]
Lieutenant Sheba : I got another one to go to, so I'll see you when I get back.
Lieutenant Bojay : I wish I could go with you.
Lieutenant Sheba : I promise I'll tell you all about it.
-
Commander Cain : [next to the bed of wounded pilot] How is he?
Cassiopeia : He'll live. I'm not so sure about all the others.
[adding pointedly:]
Cassiopeia : Tell me, are you winning?
Commander Cain : You make it sound like my own personal war.
Cassiopeia : [another patient wheeled in] Sheba!
Commander Cain : Baby!
Lieutenant Sheba : [talking up to him] I'm sorry, Father, I missed one!
Cassiopeia : [directing the gurney] Into chamber four.
Commander Cain : What happened? How was she hurt?
Captain Apollo : Like she said, she missed one. The Cylon didn't.
Lieutenant Starbuck : [to Cain] How about the Pegasus? Is the fire under control?
Commander Cain : [resolutely] She'll be ready to do the job.
Lieutenant Starbuck : Uh, what job?
Commander Cain : Whatever she has to do.
[he leaves them]
Lieutenant Starbuck : [as Cassiopeia returns] Is he thinking of doing what I think he is?
Captain Apollo : Yeah. And you know what bothers me? We're both starting to think just like him.
Cassiopeia : What's going on here?
Captain Apollo : I suggest you get every one of your wounded ready to be transferred into shuttles, and fast.
-
Lieutenant Sheba : [on gurney] Father, please... don't make me go... I don't wanna leave you!
Commander Cain : You must go, sweetheart. You must get some sleep now.
Lieutenant Sheba : But... no, please...! I know I'll be okay.
Commander Cain : [to the medics] Take her. The shuttles are ready to go.
Lieutenant Sheba : I'll be fine... No!
[as she is wheeled off:]
Lieutenant Sheba : I'll see you soon...!
Cassiopeia : You're a very special man, Cain.
[tearfully:]
Cassiopeia : I'll never forget you.
[sobs, kisses him farewell]
Flight Officer Tolan : [over public address system] Final countdown to launch.
-
Cassiopeia : [visitors in sick-bay] Not too long. She needs to build back her strength.
Lieutenant Sheba : [hopefully, despite everything] Any word?
Commander Adama : No. But that's nothing to be concerned about. Your father wouldn't break communication silence and reveal his position.
Lieutenant Sheba : [teary-eyed] Thank you for trying... but what are the odds he survived? All those fighters, and a base ship...
Captain Apollo : What were the odds when we all thought you were lost two yahrens ago?
Lieutenant Starbuck : As far as I'm concerned, he just headed out into deep space, the way he did last time. The Cylon fighters couldn't have followed him very far with empty fuel cells. They've flown a long way already.
Commander Adama : [to Sheba] He's right, you know. In the meantime, until your father does communicate with us, I want you to consider yourself... part of our family.
Lieutenant Sheba : I already do.
[her hand reaches out, and Adama's closes over hers]
