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...
3:32:02
you do so
with my utter contempt.
3:32:16
Warriors are always the last...
3:32:18
to recognize
the inevitability ofchange.
3:32:23
We have a choice:
life or death.
3:32:27
I submit that an issue this grave
should be decided by our people.
3:32:31
Maybeyou're right.
But I'll tell you something.
3:32:34
The military
won't be easy to convince.
3:32:37
How, may I ask, doyou propose to
present such a delicate matter?
3:32:42
At a celebration...
3:32:44
to decorate those three
braveyoung men...
3:32:47
who led us to safety through
the perilous straits of Madagon.
3:32:51
One ofthem Adama's son,
I do believe.
3:32:54
Just the tonic our people
need at this moment.
3:32:57
Some old-fashioned,
down-to-goodness heroes.
