Because I'm bored. And because this is what I prefer to believe.

[Lots of very exciting things happen. After all of that is done, and to keep the Cavils quiet, the final five start looking for the secret of resurrection in their strange mental harddrive thingie]
Tory: “So … you remember which folder you put it in, Ellen?”
Ellen: “Me? I thought Saul had it last? I distinctly remember telling him to file it away somewhere safe.”
Tory: “You told Saul to put it somewhere safe? While he was on a bender? Oh frak. We'll never find it”.
Saul: “Why are there so many folders marked “Porn” in here, Galen?”
Tory: “And why are most of them full of pictures of me, Galen?!”
Tyrol: “Uh”
[Sam babbles something unintelligible]
All: “Shut up, Sam”
Saul: “What's the one over there? Hang on, hang on, let me look. 'The Final Five Super Seekrit Cure for Cancer. That Really Works. I Mean It. Gone. Forever. The End'? Oh yeah, I remember that one. Ellen knocked it together one day whilst experimenting with cocktail recipes. Try the G: drive.”
Ellen: “Wait a minute, wait a minute, back up a sec … Laura Roslin has cancer.”
Tory: “And?”
Ellen: “She's going to die, idiots”
Tyrol: “And?”
Ellen: “Frakkin' hell, people, other than the fact that everyone loves her and don't you try to deny it, Tory Foster! We've all seen that face you pull in press conferences! If she dies, Bill will go into the biggest epic emo fit of all time.”
Saul: “And?”
Ellen: “And he'll follow you and I around for all eternity. Drooling. And throwing paint around. And he'll steal all the alcohol.”
Saul: “All … the … alco... Frak it! Someone print out that file! Now, now, NOW!!!”

[After the Final Five offer to cure Roslin's cancer, Bill summons Lee and Kara to say goodbye to them. Never mind that Laura will be in hospital all of a week and Bill's job is to drop her off, get back and finish building that damn cabin, he feels the need for a prolonged, tearful parting scene. Bill and Lee emo and hug and all that]
Laura: *puts her hand on the glass in a secret signal that means “They're emo-ing again. You know what to do, young padawan. Go forth and make me proud"*
Kara: puts her hand on her chest in a secret signal that means “Gotcha, ma'am. I won't let you down.”
* * *
Kara: “So, Lee, why so emo?”
Lee: “Well, my almost stepmommy is going to the magic cylon hospital and my daddy is going with her and I don't like seeing my stepmommy sick and my stepmommy didn't like my plan for getting rid of all the technology so she had daddy STEAL a raptor, see *points* even though I'm doing what she said about doing the smart thing not the right thing and throwing away all our spaceships is a REALLY smart plan, you'll see...”
NOTE: Lee's plan to send all their ships into the sun had NOTHING AT ALL to do with the fact that Sam Anders was the only one who could pilot them there. Ahem.
Lee: “... and now that my stepmommy is getting cured of cancer, she'll want to be President again, and I was getting REALLY REALLY good at it now, I've had days and days of practice and I'll have to go back to being a crappy Quorum member again and no one ever listens to me when I'm just a Quorum member …” *scuffs toes in the grass moodily*
Kara: “Don't forget to breathe, hon. Hey, Lee?”
Lee: *huffily* "What?”
Kara: “I know something that'll cheer you up.”
Lee: “Huh?”
Kara: “Party games! Hide'n'seek! C'mon. You count to twenty, and I'll hide. Remember what fun we all had last time I did this? You didn't find me for MONTHS” *scarpers*
Lee: *looks puzzled*
Kara: *from behind a tree* “And then we can pop to the CaveMart and get some booze and some food and Laura's already found the local hallucinogens, so it's party time at the cabin later!”
