Battlestar Galactica, Season 1

Starbuck:
You have been selected as Caprica's delegate to the Quorum of Twelve.

Baltar:
Me? Is this some kind of joke?

Starbuck:
Guess you got the super-genius vote. No accounting for taste.

Virtual Six:
Congratulations, Doctor!

Baltar:
Thank you, um...politics is the only thing more boring than blood samples. All those interminable speeches, all that dreary pomp...!

Virtual Six:
Parties full of young women, drawn to men of power.

Baltar:
...but when the people call, you must serve.
