Patrick Macnee: Imperious Leader

Quotes 

• Cylon Centurion : By your command.

  Imperious Leader : Speak, Centurion.

  Cylon Centurion : All base ships are now in range to attack the Colonies.

  Imperious Leader : The final annihilation of the lifeform known as Man. Let the attack begin.

• Imperious Leader : Welcome, Baltar. I have grave news. A handful of Colonials prevail, but we will soon find them.

  Count Baltar : What of our bargain? My colony was to be spared!

  Imperious Leader : I now alter the bargain.

  Count Baltar : How can you change one side of a bargain?

  Imperious Leader : When there is no other side. You have missed the entire point of the war.

  Count Baltar : But I have no ambitions against you.

  Imperious Leader : Could you think me so foolish as to trust a man who would see his own race destroyed?

  Count Baltar : Not destroyed, subjugated, under me!

  Imperious Leader : There can be *no* survivors. So long as one human remains alive, the Alliance is threatened.

  Count Baltar : Surely... you don't mean me?

  Imperious Leader : We thank you for your help, Baltar. Your time is at an end.

  Count Baltar : No! You can't! You still need me! ARGH!
