(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
APOLLO: Previously on Battlestar Galactica.
I feel like I'm abandoning my post.
It's time to pack it in, Saul. You know it.
TIGH: More than half the crew's down on New Caprica already.
I'm not really doing too much up here anymore.
Good luck.
Oh, my Gods. It's the Cylon Fleet. They found us.
There's only one way that this mission ends,
and that's with the successful rescue
of our people off of New Caprica.
You brought them home, Saul.
Not all of them.
What about us?
There is no "us," all right?
There is nothing here.
Do you get that? Nothing!
Lee, when are you gonna get yourself a girl?
I'm doing fine, thank you.
You're not still frakking Dualla, are you?
I am proud to serve with you, Lieutenant,
and to call you my wife.
STARBUCK: I'm in a different place now.
I just want to hurt someone, and it might as well be you.
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
(PANTING)
DUALLA: Admiral?
Admiral?
Sir, Engineering is requesting more time for the nav upgrade again.
Maintenance, flight ops, weapons.
We're seeing botched drills, missed deadlines across the board.
Meanwhile, half the crew's belowdecks.
Are you telling me something's wrong with this picture?
Sir, I suggest we cancel tonight.
Call everyone back to duty.
No, no.
The crew needs this. Maybe we all need it.
Adjust our heads a little bit, refocus.
You do, too, Dee. Go put your tags in.
We'll catch up.
Sir.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(GRUNTING)
(PANTING)
That was exactly what I needed.
(SIGHS)
(SNIFFS)
Glad to be of service.
When do they need you back on the Caprica?
Why? Itching to get rid of me already?
Did I say anything like that?
You didn't have to.
Look, Sam, this is pretty much all that I can handle right now.
Damn it.
Looking for this?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Yeah.
Kara,
I know you went through hell on that rock and I was very patient.
But I want you back.
I want our marriage back, I want a real marriage.
And what if I'm just not ready for that?
I don't know, then I guess it'll never be.
Maybe 'cause I'm not what you really want after all.
If that's how you really feel,
I'm not gonna try and change your mind.
I'm not.
I'm late for the dance.
Don't forget your boots on the way out, Sammy.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
KAT: You can fight them, Lee, come on!

(HORN BLOWS)
If it isn't the fighting Agathon.
Starbuck, late to the party as usual.
At least I got here in time to watch you kick the CAG's ass.
KAT: You got it, slick him right up.
He's a tough little frakker, I'll give him that.
He's playing me like he's got it in for me.
STARBUCK: You know what? That's his weakness.
When he charges in, he drops his right.
Okay? Okay. All right.
(BELL DINGS)
(HORN SOUNDS)
You can do this, Karl. Come on.
(CROWD CHATTERING)
Not bad. Couple of months ago,
you would've had to roll him into this ring.
Well, not anymore.
You know, with a cooler head, he might have had a chance.
(INAUDIBLE)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Come on!
(WHOOPS)

(SQUEALS)
You did it, baby.
Fischer. Fischer, you're up.
You did fine.
Bit off a little more than you could chew, huh?
Come on, Lee. Don't be that way.
Stick around, the night's young.
Well, I guess then you'll just have to enjoy it without me.
Why don't you track down Anders?
He's always good for a laugh.
Oh, trouble in paradise.
Now why doesn't that surprise me?
Yeah, well, maybe if you had found us both a billet
we wouldn't be living on different ships, huh?
I don't believe this.
You're blaming me for your frakked up marriage?
Didn't really help it off to a good start, now, did you?
Now, just how far do you want to push this?
Hmm?
(WHISPERS) How about this far?
Now who's biting off more than they can chew, Captain?
Not me from where I'm standing, Major.
Excuse me.
(THEME MUSIC)
He's looking good.
I'm glad he lost the weight.
Yeah, so am I.
Bye.
Hey, ladies.
It was a great combination.
Great fight, Lee.
Fought with a lot of heart, man.
How's my favorite gladiator?
Good morning, Commander.
Ready to go back to our ship?
Hey, if you're done brawling, how about we arrange a private tussle?
Well, actually I have another bout.
Colonel.
How's it going tonight?
Couple of good bouts so far.
And you? How're you doing?
I'd rather go back to my rock and crawl under the covers with a bottle,
but you were right, this was a good idea.
No use going backwards, might as well get used to the bright lights.
(HORN BLOWS)
Let's go. Let's go!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
There you are.
Hey, how are you?
I didn't expect to find you playing in the sand.
It's not sand.
It's alluvial deposits. This used to be the river mouth.
And you just had to take off your shoes
and play in the alluvial deposits.
How romantic.
That's a nice color on you.
Thank you.
It's good to see you, Laura.
You, too, Bill.
(AUDIENCE CHATTERING)
What?
Nothing.
My father was an avid fight fan.
I adored my father so I love a good fight.
I heard about your so-called dance.
Accidentally, I might add.
Don't take it personally.
It's sort of a private tradition.
Tradition?
There's a lot of frustration aboard warships.
Arguments become grudges and end up being feuds.
It allows them to let off some steam,
out in the open so everybody can participate.
Rank doesn't matter. As long as you throw your tags in the box,
everyone's fair game.
Did you throw your tags in there?
(CHUCKLING) No.
No. I wish,
with all the frustrations that I have.
Congratulations. I may be jumping the gun,
but first boy born on Galactica.
That's the thing I wanted to talk to you about, sir.
Cally doesn't want him born here.
And neither do I. Not if he has a chance
to grow up breathing fresh air.
What are you saying?
Thank you.
Well, we both would like to request to be relieved of duty
and resettle in New Caprica.
(CHUCKLING) No. No way.
Look, you're both here for the duration.
(GRUNTING)

Next up is Hotdog.
Hotdog, get your butt up here and pick a partner.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Come on there, champ.
TIGH: Who's your partner, Hotdog?
Starbuck.
You gotta be kidding, right?
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(BELL RINGS)
(HORN BLOWS)
Go, Starbuck. He's yours.
When I was six years old, there was this boy in my neighborhood,
he used to wait for me after school and knock me down.
Know what my mom told me?
It wasn't because I pissed him off.
I wasn't too much older when I realized
that the other side of hatred is love.
It was passion.
Karl is angry at Lee after all this time.
What is this fight really about?
(ALL SHOUTING)
That's it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(BELL RINGS)
(HORN BLOWS)
TIGH: Come on. Come on!
(CROWD CHANTING)
She's just been pissing me the frak off, that's all.
Now she's throwing down the gauntlet.
That's it. That's the way to fight! Go, go, go.
Can't believe the progress they've made.
You should've seen it a month ago.
But I'd still rather sleep in a warm bunk every night
than muck around in this muck.
Bunk's gonna be plenty warm tonight.
He said yes.
He approved the transfer?
Yeah.
STARBUCK: You two just don't know how to keep a secret, do you?
So, what, are you guys here to see Baltar put a shovel in the ground?
"Join the celebration as we break ground for a better tomorrow. "
Aw, such a load of crap.
(LAUGHS)
There's an open bar.
Really? See, now why didn't you say so?
Lee, you've got to let your better half do the talking for you.
She gets right to the point.
Let's go find us a better tomorrow.
Excuse us.
Knock yourself out.
Thank you, Sam.
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
Thank you. Thank you.
Let this day be remembered as the day that we broke the ground
for our new tomorrow.
Your fly's open.
Shut up.
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHUCKLES) No, it gets better, okay?
They come back to the locker room
with a set of handcuffs and some straw.
(SAM LAUGHING)
They're not gonna be friends, are they?
You know, I've always wanted to date a ballplayer.
Such great arms.
Guess he's kind of taken now.
Yeah. Kind of.
Weather usually sucks down here anyway.
Yeah.
You know, I was thinking it's probably better
to have a baby on Galactica anyways.
You know, there's a sick bay, doctors, medicine.
Yeah. No, it'll be better.
Yeah, we'll be happier.
Yeah.
Hey, baby. Hi.
(GIGGLING)
(INAUDIBLE)
I heard Sam was aboard.
He was?
With any luck, he's gone now.
What happened?
Same thing that always happens.
Why can't they just make things simple?
They start thinking that they own you...
They? Which they are we talking about?
Sam or Lee?
I don't want you to fight her.
Dee, this has nothing to do with us.
Kara and I, we got a score we gotta settle.
And we're gonna settle it tonight one way or another.
MAN: Set! Call the next set.
WOMAN: Okay, who's next?
Hey, come here.
You keep giving me these weird looks.
Come on, can't a man look at his wife?
Come on.
Where?
(LAUGHING)
Did I ever tell you how glad I am I married you?
Not once.
Well, then I'll save it for a special occasion.
Come here.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
He's been making the same mistake since the day he met me.
When you were with Zak?
Yeah. And now I'm with Sam.
I don't even know why I'm telling you this.
'Cause they say confession's good for the soul.
Yeah! Yeah.
I'll tell you the secret to avoid hangovers.
Don't stop drinking.
It's combat. Survival instinct starts to kick in.
Make your choice, don't look back.
That's a beautiful combination.
What did I miss?
Figurski, you done that bird already?
No, the damn gyro's giving me trouble.
Come on, Chief, I'm the only one over there.
(GRUNTING)
Frak. Frak it, get yourself a drink.
Ship down, Chief?
Yeah, we'll get it tomorrow.
I figured I'd give him a little R&R.
No! Get off the ropes, get off the ropes!
(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)
(BELL RINGS)
(HORN BLOWS)
It's a dance, remember?
Yeah, you know, we've had our share of set-backs, to be sure,
but I'm confident that with our new development plan
we should have the infrastructure to be able
to deal with any unforeseen circumstances...
Excuse me, sir. The finance minister. I'll be back.
Go ahead.
(LAUGHING) Oh, my God. I thought he'd never leave.
He's a good kid.
You're saying this stuff grows around here?
In the mountains north of here, there's this little stream
that comes down into this lake.
The water's so clear, it's like looking through glass.
I'm thinking of building a cabin.
(EXHALES)
It's good.
Mmm.
It is good.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN: Hey, get out there.
WOMAN: Come on.
MAN: No, I don't think so. WOMAN: Come on.
MAN: No, no, no.
(CHUCKLING)
Okay, I'm out of here.
What? Yeah.
Come on, things are just getting warmed up.
I know, exactly.
Come on, dance.
Look, you're catching more than a few looks,
Mr. Commander of the Pegasus.
Hey. You know what? Screw them.
Hey, we've kept this under wraps so far, okay? Let's not blow it.
Anyway, especially not before I'm about to transfer.
I'll go. You stay.
I'm not staying without you.
Yes, you are. No, I'm not.
Yes, you are. No. I'm not.
I've never seen you this happy.
I haven't seen you this happy ever.
You stay right here, you get drunk out of your mind,
and tomorrow you'll have a giant hangover.
(LAUGHS)
Tomorrow night I'll come and make it all better
when I report to my new commander, in private.
You can talk me into it.
Back on Colonial One I grew so tired
of looking at the stars through the window.
Now at night I go outside and stare and stare.
(SINGING) Ever see a little light Before the dawn of the light
Got a woman by a stream
Gonna show her all my dreams
(MUFFLED LAUGHTER)
What the hell is that?
A pilot friend of mine used to sing it in the cockpit all the time.
What was his name? Juan.
That's nice.
Juan Calvin.
Is this really it, Bill?
Is this how we're going to spend all the rest of our days?
(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(WHISTLING)
Is he serious?
Let's watch and find out.
Helo.
(CROWD CHATTERING)
Make them tight.

He's an old man. It'll be fine.
He's not serious anyways.

It's your funeral.

I bring offerings.
Just in time. I was running on bingo fuel.
Wow, look at that.
You literally drank Anders under the table.
(CHUCKLING)
They just don't make them like they used to, do they?
Where's Dee?
She packed it in to go pack.
(SNICKERS)
Guess it's just you and me then.
Yup, it's just you and me.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Is this how you fight your enemies, Chief?
Is this how you fight for your life?
No excuses. Show me you're a soldier. Get up.
MAN: Show him to your fullest.
That's it, Chief. Show him.
(CHEERING)
Come on!
(WHISTLING)
Is that what you want? Is that what you wanted?
(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMS)
You know,
maybe we should just enjoy this.
I am.
No, no, I mean, enjoy being here
on this planet as long as it lasts.
I mean, maybe the Cylons come back, maybe they don't.
But for now, right now, we've got a break.
Maybe we should embrace it,
live the life that we've got while we've got it.
And embrace this world and this life
and see what that brings us.
I've got people that want to get off the ship, move down here.
Can't say as I blame them, I mean, what are you gonna do?
You gonna keep them up there like prisoners,
running around in circles all night, all day,
waiting for the apocalypse?
Well, the apocalypse has happened once before.
Yeah.
And there was nothing you could do to stop it, Bill, not then, not now.
I mean, let's get real. Let's get real.
The Cylons come back, we're dead.
Disease strikes, we're dead.
Earthquake, volcano, hurricane,
today, tomorrow, five years from now and it's...
And you know what I'd say?
Life's a bitch and then you die.
(CHUCKLING)
You know... No, no, I'm serious.
I mean, I think that...
I think we should all look at every moment
of every day from now on as borrowed time,
and people should live the lives
that they want to live before it's over.
Let's stop spending the little time we have left here
worrying about when it's gonna end.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Okay. Okay.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Check it out. It's a great place for a house.
So, you're really gonna give up flying?
(EXCLAIMS)
Flying's gonna suck now anyway.
Lots of training, endless caps.
War is over. So is all the good stuff.
No, don't say that. You'll jinx it.
Mmm.
So, what am I standing in now? Is this the kitchen?
Mmm.
Bedroom.
(BOTH LAUGH)
No. No, no, no. No thank you. That is not someplace I wanna go,
or think about or imagine or anything else, okay.
(EXCLAIMS)
That sounds like a personal problem to me.
Just give me a tour of your house, okay?
Show me all the great rooms you and Pyramid-Boy are gonna have,
all the great views, all the cool furniture.
Give me a tour of the future life of Kara Anders.
I'm not getting married.
Well, then, what's the point, Kara?
I mean, you love him, right?
Where are we going with this, Lee?
Well, now that's the question, isn't it?
Where are we going?
I mean, what if this is it?
This, the rest of your life, Kara.
Is this how you want to spend it?
Who you want to spend it with?
You got someone in mind, Lee?
Tell me you're not afraid that I'm not gonna come along
and upset your neat little applecart.
Maybe I want it upset.
(PANTING)
(MOANING)
(KISSING)
(BOTH BREATHING DEEPLY)
(GIGGLES)
Well, that makes things more complicated.
Yeah.
What are we gonna do?
We accept it.
Tomorrow I tell Dee, you tell Sam.
Just like that?
Just like that.
I don't know.
You know, we tell them how we feel.
We shout it to the skies.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLING) Yeah. Yeah, right.
What, you don't think I will?
(CHUCKLING) Mmm-mmm.
Mmm-mmm.
(GIGGLING)
Lee!
(LAUGHING)
My name is Lee Adama!
And I love Kara Thrace!
(LAUGHING)
Come down.
What? What, it's not like anybody will hear,
we're in your cabin in the forest, right?
(GIGGLING)
I love Kara Thrace!
And I don't care who frakking knows!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Oh, you're crazy. Get down.
Well, come on. I'm not going to stop
until you get up and do it, too.
I can't.
(LAUGHING)
This is Kara Thrace, scourge of the Cylon Raiders. She's afraid?
Come on, stand up.
No.
I'm gonna... Okay, here we go again.
Lee Adama...
Okay, okay, okay. Okay.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Okay.
Ka...
(GIGGLES)
Kara Thrace loves Lee Adama!
(WHIMPERS)
Are you sure I'm what you want?
Yeah, you're what I want.
I just don't... I don't think I really knew it
until I said it out loud just now.
Why?
Because of Zak?
Yeah, and a lot of things.
Mostly because I was afraid
to admit how much I needed you.
How much I needed anyone.
Yeah.
I love you, Kara Thrace.
I love you, too.
Come on!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(GRUNTING)
The old man's got chops.
He knows when to make his moves, when to hold back.
I wish I could say the same for his son.
Why are you two even fighting?
Why not just get a room?
Been there, done that.
Guess it just rubbed us both the wrong way.
Dee,
what she's talking about was a long time ago.
A long time ago. It didn't mean anything.
You said you had something to settle.
Settle it.
Tonight.
Listen to me. Listen.
And once again, it's just you and me.
You motherfrakker!
Hold that thought, okay?

You insist on doing this?
You wanna do this, you're crazy, right?
You wanna do this? Yeah.
All right. Keep your guard up, he's coming in wild,
get him with a left hook. You wanna win?
I'm not gonna win.
You gotta watch his jab. Watch his jab.
His jab's killing you, all right?
Just keep your eyes open.
All right, here you go. Have some. Open up.
Okay, you're looking good.
Keep strong, watch his jab. Here we go.
Hey.
Wake up. Here.
Want some coffee?
You'll feel better, trust me.
Chief, good morning. Good morning, Kelly.
I've been thinking about what you said, and you may be right,
about what you said.
I'm sorry, what?
Oh, right.
About living down here.
A Battlestar's no place to raise a family.
So I'm gonna miss you, Chief.
But I'm gonna wish you good luck.
Thank you, sir.
My best to both of you.
We're moving? Really?
Thank you.
I want you guys to have at least a dozen.
We'll see about that.
(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)
(PUNCHING)
Get up. We'll get you up.
When you stand on this deck, you be ready to fight,
or you dishonor the reason why we're here.
And remember this.
When you fight a man, he's not your friend.
The same goes when you lead men.
I forgot that once.
I let you get too close. All of you.
I dropped my guard.
I let this crew, and this family, disband.
And we paid the price in lives.
That can't happen again.
Figurski, you're with me.
Let's get that bird back on the line.
Madam President.
Admiral.
All right. This dance is over.
Get your booze and your dog tags and let's get out of here.
So what, you're just gonna call it?
Not enough excitement for one night for you, Captain?
STARBUCK: Hey. Hey!
Where the frak do you think you're going?
It's over, Kara.
So what?
You have the guts to try and frak
another man's woman, but not to fight one?
I wonder if Dee knew what she was getting.
Think she would have settled for sloppy seconds?
The truth stings, don't it?
You want a fight, Captain?
You've got it.
Your boyfriend snores.
I'll tell you the secret to avoid hangovers.
Don't stop drinking.
(SIGHS)
Well, I think that is the first drink you've
ever had with me, Captain Kara Thrace.
Must be a special occasion.
I slept with Lee last night.
(SNICKERING)
Would you stop it? It's not funny.
It's not!
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHS)
I'm such an idiot.
Well, you said it, I didn't.
Hey.
Why don't you tell me all about it?
I gotta make a move.
One way or the other.
It's combat.
Survival instinct starts to kick in.
Make your choice, don't look back.
Survival instinct, huh?
(CLICKS TONGUE)
Yeah.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(WHOOPING)
Good morning, Commander. Ready to go back to our ship?
So much for keeping a lid on things.
What's going on?
Let's get the hell out of here.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(STARBUCK GRUNTING)
(LAUGHING)
What? You afraid to hit me?
Or maybe you can't.
Get up! Starbuck, get up! You can do this.
(INAUDIBLE)
Good morning, Admiral.
You look like you had a good time.
Yeah, it was some party.
Yeah, well, it's been a hell of a morning, too.
You missed all the excitement.
Why? Is it problems upstairs?
No.
No, good things. Kara got married.
You believe that?
What?
Yeah, about an hour ago.
Found herself a priest, went down by the river and got married.
(SIGHS)
You okay?
ADAMA: Can you believe that?
(ADAMA CHUCKLES)
Well, she deserves that man.
We all deserve to be happy.
I also gave her permission to muster out, along with Tyrol and Cally.
A few of the others, so...
We have to ask to make sure there's no mass exodus.
(INAUDIBLE)
Hey, man. Did you hear the news?
We're hitched. We got married.
Can you believe it?
No. No, I can't believe it.
Yeah. You know, it was crazy. She comes down and she wakes me up,
she pops the question, she drags me down to the priest,
and bang! Like that. We're married.
(CHUCKLES)
So it was your idea.
Yeah. It was my idea.
SAM: Do you guys want a minute to, you know, talk?
Congratulations, Sam.
Yeah.
And good luck.
You're gonna need it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(GRUNTING)
Oops. Did I break the rules?
You've only got one. Protect yourself at all costs.
(GRUNTING)
You never let anybody get inside.
I made my choice.
You ran away.
WOMAN: Let's go, girl. You can take him!
The truth stings, don't it?
You frakking hypocrite. What choice did you make?
What's going on?
What's it look like?
Looks like they're trying to kill each other.
From one perspective.
Where is this coming from?
I don't know. I've been thinking about it for a while.
No, that's a lie.
And I don't wanna start this with a lie.
Kara and Anders got married this morning.
And what, they're having a two-for-one special?
When Kara said she was married, it really made me think
about the life I wanna live now.
And I want you in that life.
The times we've been together,
they're the happiest I've ever been. Ever.
So, please, Dee, will you marry me?
Aren't you forgetting something?
You love Kara Thrace.
What? No.
The two of you were linked somehow,
and I mean, one day, you're gonna turn to me and say,
"Dee, I'm sorry, but... " That's not gonna happen.
It will happen. No.
And yes,
I'll marry you.
You will?
I've been thinking, too.
Maybe we're safe, but who knows for how long?
I wanna live my life like every moment is gonna be my last.
I'll even marry you, Lee Adama.
And I will love you and cherish you
until the Cylons come back,
or until Kara Thrace walks back into your life.
Dee, she's not walking back.
I mean...
Just kiss me.
Kiss me before I change my mind.
MAN: Let's go! MAN 2: Fight, girl!
Let's go!
(AUDIENCE CHATTERING)
Come on, Lee, kick her ass!
Yeah.
Yeah!
You're trying to finish things?
Put him down, baby.
Come on.

I missed you.
I missed you, too.
I think things just got more complicated.
(GIGGLES)
No, no, not now.
