Battlestar Galactica, Season 1

[Commander Adama and President Roslin argue about Starbuck's unauthorized mission to Caprica.]

Adama:
[to Tigh] Bear witness, put on your headset. [to Roslin on the phone] Madam President, moments ago, Lt. Thrace took the Cylon Raider on an unscheduled and unauthorized jump.

Roslin:
Yes.

Adama:
Do you have any knowledge of this incident?

Roslin:
Let's save some time here, Commander the question you really want to ask me is whether or not I asked Lt. Thrace to take the Raider to Caprica. And the answer to your question is yes.

Adama:
You and I talked about this.

Roslin:
Yes, we had.

Adama:
We both decided it was a military decision.

Roslin:
My responsibility as President is, first and foremost, to protect and preserve this fleet and its future. In the end, that outweighs any other consideration. It has to.

Adama:
By taking the Raider, you've placed our people on the surface of Kobol in direct danger.

Roslin:
I'm very aware of the danger our men and women are in on Kobol. I am also deeply aware of the danger this civilization will be in if I ignore the pursuit of this arrow.

Adama:
I'm going to have to ask you for your resignation, Madam President.

Roslin:
No.

Adama:
Then I'm terminating your presidency, as of this moment.

Roslin:
Commander Adama, I will exercise the authority of this office until I am unable to do so, so if you want to stage a coup you're gonna have to come over here and arrest me.

Adama:
I don't want any blood shed.

Roslin:
Of course you don't, neither do I. Neither does the press. They're here, by the way.

Adama:
[mutters to Tigh] The press...

Roslin:
They're recording every minute.
