Bill Adama: “You tried to steal an election ?”

Laura Roslin: “Yes, I did. And I got caught. But Gaius Baltar cannot become President of the Colonies, Bill. It cannot happen.”

Laura Roslin: “I told him I didn’t take any satisfaction in seeing his pain. But the truth is, I was willing to see him endure a great deal of suffering in order to get what I wanted. It wasn’t some intelligence or some truth. I wanted a genuine admission of guilt.”

Bill Adama: “That’s something you’re not gonna get from someone like Baltar. He doesn’t see himself that way. It’s not who he is. In his eyes… he’s the victim. Not the criminal. It’s not too late for him to just… disappear.”

Laura Roslin: “We can’t do that. For all his crimes, he’s one of us.”

Bill Adama: “So what happens next?”

Laura Roslin: “We give him his trial.”

deelylah86:

Bill Adama: “Posterity really doesn’t look too kindly on genocide.”

Laura Roslin: “You’re making an assumption that posterity will define this as genocide. If they do, at least there’ll be someone alive to hate us for it.”

deelylah86:

Gaius Baltar: “33 people killed. And their only crime was putting on the police uniform, trying to bring some order to the chaos out there.”

Laura Roslin: “Order? By arresting innocent people in the dead of night, detaining them indefinitely without charge, torturing them for information!”

Gaius Baltar: “Wait a minute, wait. Nobody’s been tortured.”

Laura Roslin: “Tell that to Colonel Tigh!”

You know what the world needs? A show with Birgitte Nyborg, Laura Roslin, Abbey Bartlet, CJ Cregg, Leslie Knope, Nicola Murray, Elaine Barrish and some other fictional ladies I probably forgot doing politics across the world and space together.

Aside from my immediate reaction of YES THIS, I really feel this would work. Because Nicola meeting Abbey Bartlet might be the best thing in the *world* for Nicola - Abbey knows from being a mom while you’re trying to navigate politics and would give the *best* pep talks. And Leslie’s so sunny and fun she’d counteract Laura’s intensity, and they would get the giggles together before public speaking.

And then Harriet Jones joins in.

THIS GIVE ME PLEASE

f;agjs;gfjow4irj;sdflnf;dxkjg;asfjg;aorij;agfmlxdbnv;kjs;ogtiaserj;sfkvnx!

Also - Nicola meeting Birgitte would be good for her and Leslie would be there cheering all the ladies on!  Leslie would also have a 3,000 page binder of how to improve the parks in Denmark! AHHHHHHHH.
