Crew: SO SAY WE ALL!
Adama: Are they the lucky ones? That’s what you’re thinking, isn’t it? We’re a long way from home. We’ve jumped way beyond the red line, into uncharted space. Limited supplies, limited fuel, no allies, and now no hope. Maybe it would’ve been better for us to die quickly, back on the colonies with our families, instead of dying out here slowly in the emptiness of dark space. Where should we go? What should we do? ”Life here began out there”, those are the first words of the Sacred Scrolls, and they were told to us by the Lords of Kobol many countless centuries ago. And they made it perfectly clear that we are not alone in this universe. Elosha, there is a 13th colony of humankind, is there not?
Elosha: Yes, the Scrolls tell us the 13th tribe left Kobol in the early days. They traveled far and made their home on a planet called Earth, which circled a distant and unknown star.
Adama: It’s not unknown. I KNOW WHERE IT IS. EARTH. The most guarded secret we have. The location is only known by the senior commanders of the Fleet, and we dared not share it with the public. Not while there was a Cylon threat upon us. For now we have a refuge to go to! A refuge the Cylons know nothing about. It won’t be an easy journey, it’ll be long and arduous. But I promise you one thing: on the memory of those lying here before us, we shall find it. And Earth will become our new home. So say we all!
Crew: So say we all!
Adama: SO SAY WE ALL!
Crew: SO SAY WE ALL!
Adama: So say we all.
Elosha: So say we all.
Adama: Dismissed!

Chills. That’s what this scene in the Battlestar Galactica mini-series will give you.
Yes, this is the second BSG scene I’ve posted in the past week. Next week will mix it up a bit more.
