Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: You're the CAG, act like
one.
Captain
Lee 'Apollo' Adama: What does that mean?
Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: It means that you're still acting like everyone's best
friend. We're not friends. You're the CAG! "Be careful out there?" Our job isn't to be careful, it's to shoot fracking Cylons out of the sky! "Good Hunting" is what you say. And one of your
idiot pilots is acting like a child and refusing to take her pills. So she either says "
Yes, sir" and obeys a direct order, or you smack her in the mouth and drag her sorry ass to sickbay and you make her take those pills!
