"You see, you claim to be a perfect machine, but you are driven by the most petty of human emotions: jealousy, and rage." She weeps, shaking her head: "I know what you did to Daniel." Cavil shakes his head, in pretense. "That Seven didn't thrive. Sad. And it's too bad we're not made out of something more sturdy..." He pretends to think, a snotty teen, regressing further and further back with every month she's in the cage: "Metal! That might be nice." It's all for Boomer. Ellen's been playing power games with him since she woke up; now she talks to her directly. "Daniel. Was an artist. And so sensitive to the world... I was very close to him. But John decided I was playing favorites. Maybe I was..." For sure you were. That's how Bible stories work.
"Someone contaminated the amniotic fluid in which we were maturing all the Daniel copies. And then corrupted the genetic formula. I knew it was John. Envious, sadistic." Cavil totally changes the subject to how he's a total sadsack and blah blah: "If I'm so irredeemable, if I'm such a mistake, if I'm so broken, then whose fault is that?" It's your fault, you stupid motherfucker. Even Kara Frakking Thrace has figured this out, and you're like this computer genius robot thing? "It's my maker's fault. And that's not God, that's you! This is on you!" All I hear is wah, wah, wah. ( Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay to mould Me man? Did I solicit thee from darkness to promote me?) But not Ellen; she's still kind and still manipulative, he hasn't taken those things yet:
"No, John. God, no! You... You have done terrible things. But you are not a mistake. If you could just accept yourself as what you are, as the boy I made? You can be good. You can be anything. I love you, John, because I made you." His face is just completely shut down. "It's okay," she says, stepping forward. And it looks like it's going to work until she reaches out to touch his face. He screams, the mood breaks, and he takes off: "I've gotta scrub for surgery. I can't wait to see what perfection looks like on the inside." He turns and leaves. Boomer's wearing her flight suit.
Chief shows Bill the damage you can't see: CSI-glowing hairline fractures all through her bones. Like a cancer, creeping through her. Bill cries out in grief, and the Chief offers something from the Cylon ship: "It's this organic resin. It'll grow into the metal, make it stronger. It'll take the load as it matures..." We call it Herapoxy. It shoots you in the compromised structural integrity! Bill realizes that it's alive, biological, and shuts him down. He stomps away, and Chief feels bad.
