"It isn't about Fleet priorities. We're not part of the ruling class, so we're stuck doing the dirty work." Chief's like, "Bwuh?" Oh, just something she read. By Gaius Baltar. Well, why didn't you say so? Baltar's always been proficient with realities and not superhero fantasies where he's the star and hero of absolutely everybody, I would definitely listen to him. Chief scoffs, and Cally admits that it was a hard sell, but: "Do you ever wonder why all the pilots and the officers come from the rich Colonies, like Caprica, or Virgon, or Tauron, while all the knuckledraggers come from the poor Colonies like Aerelon and Sagittaron? And Geminon?" Chief blows this off as just another rough patch, just "trash talk on the deck," and she challenges him to name an officer left on the Fleet that comes from a poor Colony. He thinks a bit, and of course names Dee, who's the only Sagittaron any of us would deign to know personally. Her triumph is ugly in a particularly Cally way: "Case in point! How did she get promoted? She married an officer...from Caprica!" Um, you just indicted your trashy self from about nine different angles, Little Miss "Who Could Marry A Man Who Doesn't Love Her," but whatever, I actually really like her in this episode.
