Who's your best friend, and why?

Oh, like that's hard to figure out.
The three of us used to be inseperable, remember? You, me, and Zak. Like the Fates, only sexier. Gods, we had a lot of fun together, didn't we? You keeping us line, us getting you to loosen up every so often ...
Then Zak was gone, and I ran my way, and you ran yours. Because we were both stupid and and pissed off and full of grief, and to look at you ... to look at you meant I had to look at the empty space where he used to be, and I couldn't handle that. And I kind of regret that now, losing track of you. We both could have been there for each other, but ... well, I don't know what we were afraid of.
But then you were back, and we had to reconcile the old times with the new. And we did it for a while. For those first few months, it was Apollo and his crazy friend Starbuck all over again, the CAG and his hotshot pilot, and we worked. Until something changed, and I didn't know what I wanted from you anymore. It's part of why I ran off to Caprica. I had to get away from you, I thought ... I thought that if I was out of the picture, we'd cool down. And after I met Sam, I thought things could get back to normal. But then he was there, and you were here, and everything got frakked up again. And when I couldn't handle it, I frakked you over, and we went our separate ways again. Only it was harder because we were still together. So we played nice, we played friends and put up appearances, even though there was so much more there. Until that fell apart, and for a while, I thought we'd never be right again. Then the Cylons came, and the exodus, and then that godsdamned Dance. Kicking your ass was like hitting a reset button, and even if we got a little lost along the way, we made it back to where we belong.
So here we are, just like we should be. Apollo and his crazy friend Starbuck.
You have no idea how true that might actually be this time.
Through thick and thin, you're the only one who's actually been stupid enough to stick by me. You really are a moron sometimes, Lee. And Gods know ... I love you for it.
I couldn't have asked for a better friend than you.
