What is the purpose
ofthis special council?
3:30:04
Adama, I'm afraid
I must askyou...
3:30:07
to respect
the order ofbusiness...
3:30:09
until called upon by this chair.
3:30:12
I think Counselor Uri has
a measure to propose. Thankyou.
3:30:16
My brothers, a hasty attempt
to outrun the Cylons...
3:30:21
spawned in the midnight
ofdesperation...
3:30:23
seems foolhardy
in the light ofday.
3:30:27
I propose, instead, we now attempt
to appeal forjustice and mercy.
3:30:32
Justice?
Justice from the Cylons?
3:30:37
Is that what
you actually said?
3:30:40
Gentlemen,
they've told us...
3:30:44
that theywould not stop until
every human had been exterminated.
3:30:48
Now, why should they believe
we are now willing to accept...
3:30:51
that which we have always
found to be unacceptable?
3:30:55
To live under Cylon rule?
3:30:57
Because we would destroy
our arms...
3:31:00
to prove we're willing
to live in peace.
3:31:03
- Destroy our only means ofdefense?
- Or attack.
3:31:07
May I remind my brothers...
3:31:10
that we did not have
conflict with the Cylons...
3:31:13
until we intervened in their relations
with other nations.
3:31:17
Yes, you are right.
3:31:21
We did not come into conflict
with the Cylons...
3:31:23
until we helped our neighbors,
whom the Cylons wished to enslave...
3:31:29
and until we helped the Hasaries
get back their nation...
3:31:32
taken by force
by the Cylons.
3:31:35
Correct. But ifwe
mind our own business...
3:31:38
there's every reason to believe
that the Cylons will leave us alone.
3:31:52
Ifyou've all come to this council
to turn your backs...
3:31:56
on the principles ofour fathers
and the Lords of Kobol...
3:31:58
from whom
all colonies evolved...
