#OTD in 2005:
Sarah: “What is she saying?”
Marshall: “I don’t know. She’s not saying anything. I don’t know what to do.”
Sarah: “I feel like she’s saying...”
Saul: “Alright, the show’s over. Let’s give her some privacy. Everybody out. Let’s go back to the Ward Room & we’ll talk about the business of how we proceed from here.”
Laura: “Thank you all for coming. I have a statement I’d like to make. The attempted military coup against the lawful Government of the Colonies is illegal, ill-advised & clearly doomed to failure. I have not resigned the Presidency & I will fight this action with everything at my command.”
Saul: “She’s crazy! She’s nuts! She thinks she’s a Prophet or some such nonsense. Go ahead & ask her. Ask her, she’ll tell you. Just listen to her. What was it? The Arrow of Apollo will open the Tomb of Artemis, or some nonsense.”
Laura: “Everything I have done is consistent, logical. We have found Kobol. We have found the City of the Gods. And when we retrieve the Arrow, we will open the Tomb of Athena & we will find the road to Earth.”
Sarah: “Madam President, have you read the Scrolls of Pythia?”
Laura: “Carefully & many times & I humbly believe that I am fulfilling the role of the leader.”
Saul: “Okay, enough of this nonsense. Everybody out.”
Marshall: “I don’t think so.”
Tom: “Wait a minute. Wait! Sarah, you represent Gemenon, you know more about the Scrolls & the Scriptures than anybody else here. Why don’t you speak up?”
Sarah: “The Scrolls tell us that a dying leader will lead us to salvation.”
Saul: “She’s not dying, she’s crazy.”
Laura: “I am dying. I have terminal breast cancer. Dr Cottle will verify the diagnosis. I have a few months to live. And in that time, I will lead the people to salvation. It is my sole purpose.”
Sarah: “Praise be to the Gods. Here is our salvation.”
Saul: “Sergeant of the Guard!”
Guard: “Yes, Sir?”
Saul: “Remove these people from the brig & escort them back to their shuttle.”
Laura: “Thank you Corporal.”
Venner: “Thank the Gods.”
