Something about human nature that puzzles ME? You'll have to pardon me while I laugh a moment.
*lounges in the Presidential chair and lights up*
This. ALL of this. *waves his hand* Do you see? *runs his hand along the desk and sends it all flying* Me! I am the very puzzlement of human nature. Less than fifty thousand humans left in existence and they voted ME president!
*disheveled, drunk and now very distressed*
Me! *frantic laugh* And now they're here and it's all going- *points down with a pbbbbt-sound* Straight to hell, if you'll pardon the phrase. I mean, those people trusted me on what I said about that planet and then GINA- *manic laughter* Her plan to blow up Cloud 9? Brilliant, really. Led the Cylons straight to us. I mean, I couldn't have planned better self-sabotage. It was done for me, really.
Not my fault, right? I mean, who could blame me? I only wanted the best for the people and then- *eyes wide, looks around* They trusted me. Trust is the thing about human nature that puzzles me. No matter how many times you're burned, and believe me... you'd think annihalition would pretty much be the ultimate in trust breaker... you're always so ready to believe in the next person that says they've got YOUR best interests in mind.
*takes a drink*
Trust. Puzzles me to no end.
