Herbert Jefferson Jr.: Lieutenant Boomer

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Athena : Hey, Boomer, what are you doing in the Rejuvenation Centre? I thought Blue Squardron was on alert.

  Lieutenant Boomer : Well, even Blue Squadron pilots get a furlon once in a while. Now all I have to do for the next 24 centares is relax.

  Boxey : Wanna play compartment billyarks with me? I'm pretty good.

  Lieutenant Boomer : Oh? You're on. And if you beat me, I got a surprise for you.

  Boxey : It's a mushie.

  Lieutenant Boomer : How's a guy keep a secret around here?

  Boxey : You can't with Muffy. I just trained him to sniff out mushies.

• Lieutenant Boomer : Frack! The impact must have twisted the bulkhead just enough to jam the door.

  Lieutenant Athena : What are the chances of the other door holding?

  Lieutenant Boomer : About as much as the Cylons throwing me a birthday party.

• Lieutenant Athena : How are you gonna do it?

  Lieutenant Boomer : It doesn't show in my file, Athena, but when I was a kid on Caprica, I hot-linked more hover-mobiles than there are doors on this ship.

• Lieutenant Boomer : Wait a micron, I think I got it figured out now.

• Lieutenant Boomer : [after he jumps through the door into the storage room]  Boxey, it looks like I mashed your mushies.

• Boxey : [they are cut off and trapped]  Why did they close the doors?

  Lieutenant Athena : Well, so that if one part of the Galactica gets hit, it won't affect the rest of the ship.

  Lieutenant Boomer : That prevents the oxygen from escaping if the hull is pierced, Boxey.

  Boxey : I'm not afraid. My Dad will protect us from those old Cylons.

• Lieutenant Boomer : [as smoke seeps through underneath door]  Break out the life masks!

  Lieutenant Athena : They were destroyed with the first-aid supplies.

• Lieutenant Athena : [the door won't budge]  Maybe the locking mechanism shorted.

  Lieutenant Boomer : No, no, it's a fire, and it's a bad one. Everybody, get over to the other side of the compartment! Move!

  Lieutenant Athena : [assisting an injured Viper pilot]  All of those who aren't injured, please help those who are.

  [another guy comes to help her assist] 

• Lieutenant Athena : [as Boomer tries to undo the lock]  But if the fire can get through that door, it can get through this one too.

  Lieutenant Boomer : By that time, we will all be through into the next compartment.

  Lieutenant Athena : Ah. And the next one, and the next one. How long before you think you can do it?

  Lieutenant Boomer : Well, if this were a hover-mobile, I could tell you to the micron. But this thing... I don't know.
