[Colonel Tigh, Apollo, and Galactica's marines stand off against President Roslin's security team on Colonial One]

Colonel Saul Tigh:
Madam President, no one needs to get hurt here.

President Laura Roslin:
Then why don't you get off my ship, Colonel?

Tigh:
I am placing you under arrest.

[Roslin does not move]

Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama:
No... no, we're not doing this.

Tigh:
I'm in command here, Captain!

Apollo:
Colonel, this is wrong.

Tigh:
You're relieved. Fall back! Madam President, I-

[Apollo draws his sidearm and holds it to Tigh's head]

Apollo:
Men, lay down your weapons!

Tigh:
Have you lost your frakkin' mind?

Apollo:
Colonel, tell these marines to fall back!

Tigh:
This is mutiny. You know that.

Apollo:
I do and you can tell my father that I'm listening to my instincts. My instincts tell me that we cannot sacrifice democracy just because the president makes a bad decision.

Roslin:
(to her security) Put your guns down.

Apollo:
Madam... Madam President, stand back.

Roslin:
Put your gun down, Captain. I will not have bloodshed, neither your men nor my people, on the Colonial One. Put your gun down. All of you. Please, put your gun down.

[Apollo lowers his weapon, which Tigh grabs. Two marines escort Apollo out while Tigh turns to face Roslin]

Roslin:
Let's go.
