Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [upon being released from the brig and told she's being given a ship] So you think I'm right?
- Admiral William Adama: Maybe. Maybe not. But I know she is, the President. She's been right all along. I'm tired of losing. I'm tired of turning away from the things that I want to believe in. And I believe you when you say that you'll die before you stop trying. And I won't lose you again.
- [emphatically]
- Admiral William Adama: Now go. Find a way to Earth.
- Lee Adama: Besides, I never really could say no to anything.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Except me.
- Lee Adama: Especially you.
- [Long pause as they look at each other]
- Lee Adama: You know, I think I finally understand what you meant about having a destiny.
- [Starbuck nods]
- Lee Adama: I've got to do this. And the fact that I don't have an explanation why doesn't... Doesn't really seem to matter any more.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [beams and smiles] So say we all.
- Lee Adama: [quite touched, he pauses and speaks softly] So say we all.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [gets up off the brig floor, walks over and offers her hand] Good luck on your journey, Lee Adama.
- Lee Adama: [taking and shaking it] You too, Kara Thrace.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [both them are barely able to hold their emotions in check] OK.
- Lee Adama: All right.
- Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [as turns and starts to leave her cell] Lee.
- [He hesitates; he almost leaves before turning and rushing to her. They hungrily kiss and embrace each other]
- Lee Adama: [hugging her closely] I believe you.
