- Commander Adama: [narrating] The great ship, Galactica, majestic and loving, strong and protecting. Our home for these many years, we have endured the wilderness of space. And now, we reach the end of our journey. Scouts and electronic surveillance confirm that we have reached our haven, that planet which is home to our ancestral brothers. Too many of our sons and daughters did not survive the fulfillment of our dream. We can only take comfort and find strength in that they did not die in vain. We have at last found Earth.
- Commander Adama: Each of your teams have been programmed to take you to scattered areas on Earth. Your entry patterns will bring you into Earth's atmosphere in unpopulated zones. And your navigational computrons will guide you over the safest possible routes toward population centers. Ultimately, you will encounter people on Earth. You have been briefed on how to conduct yourselves. May God go with you.
- Dr. Zee: We cannot land.
- Commander Adama: Dr. Zee... how can I tell my people that... that we cannot end our journey? All those who survived, all those who were born in space as you were. We are here! We are within reach of Earth.
- Dr. Zee: So are our enemies.
- Commander Adama: Our enemies? We haven't seen the forces of the Cylon Alliance in a billion star miles.
- Dr. Zee: Because they haven't wanted us to know they were there.
- Commander Adama: What are you saying?
- Dr. Zee: That they simply let us lead them to the last remaining humans in the universe, the people of Earth, in order to destroy them
- Commander Adama: No... what have I done? I led them here!
