Battlestar Galactica, Season 2

Adama:
You told me they'd get a fair trial. What kind of a trial could they have possibly had?

Admiral Helena Cain:
I assure you I heard them out. I weighed their statements against those of the guards and I took into consideration their service records and commendations. It was a difficult decision, Commander, but I daresay it was a fair one.

Adama:
They have the right to have their case heard by a jury.

Cain:
I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter.

Adama:
[to Tigh] Launch the fighters. [to Cain] You can quote me whatever regulation you'd like. I'm not going to let you execute my men.

Cain:
I highly suggest you reconsider that statement, Commander.

Colonel Jack Fisk:
Admiral, Galactica is launching Vipers and a Raptor.

Cain:
Commander, why are you launching Vipers?

Adama:
Please arrange for Chief Tyrol and Lieutenant Agathon to be handed over to my Marines as soon as they arrive.

Cain:
I don't take orders from you!

Adama:
Call it whatever you like, I'm getting my men.

Cain:
You are making such a mistake.

Adama:
I'm getting my men.

Cain:
Action stations.

Fisk:
Admiral, this will spiral out of control fast.

Cain:
Launch the alert Vipers. Adama has taken us over the line. He's left me with no choice but to launch the alert Vipers. Target the main battery for Galactica. And may the Gods have mercy on their souls.

[The Galactica and Pegasus Vipers are released from their ships and face off]
