Cain: I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter. Adama (to an officer in CIC): Launch the fighters. (to Cain) You can quote me whatever regulation you like. I'm not gonna let you execute my men. Cain: I highly suggest you reconsider that statement, Commander.

I'm getting my men. Cain: You are making such a mistake. Adama: I'm getting my men. Cain (to her crew): Action stations. Fisk: Admiral, this will spiral out of control fast. Cain: Launch the alert Vipers. Adama has taken us over the line. He's left me with no choice: launch the alert Vipers.
