John Sheridan quotes from Babylon 5

Zack Allan

So you hear 'em too, huh?

Sheridan

Zack. Ha ha! What the hell are you doing here? I thought you went back to Earth.

Allan

Yeah, I did. Got bored. Re-upped about six months ago. I figured I'd be here 'til they turn the lights out.[N]

Vir Cotto

You know, Londo never liked the Pak'ma'ra. They're stubborn, lazy, obnoxious, greedy—

Michael Garibaldi

They kinda look like an octopus that got run over by a truck.

Vir

That too! But one day, Londo and I were walking past their quarters, and we heard them…singing.

John Sheridan

Singing? They can sing?

Stephen Franklin

There's nothing in the literature about that.

Vir

Apparently, it's something they only do certain times of the year as part of their religious ceremonies. You may not believe this, but, it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. I-I-I couldn't make out the words, but I knew it was full of sadness and hope and wonder and a terrible…sense of loss. I-I looked at Londo, and, this is the amazing part…there was a tear running down his face. I said, "Londo, we-we should leave. I mean, this is upsetting you." And he just stood there and listened. And when it was over, he turned to me and he said, "There are 49 gods in our pantheon, Vir. To tell you the truth, I never believed in any of them. But if only one of them exists, then God sings with that voice." It's funny. After everything we had been through…all he did? I miss him.

Sheridan

A toast. To…absent friends. In memory still bright.

Garibaldi

G'Kar.

Vir

Londo.

Delenn

Lennier.

Franklin

Mar—

Susan Ivanova

Marcus.

John Sheridan

Hey I have a message for you. I have a message. I know what is in Dukat's sacred place. omph!

Silence! <Striking Sheridan>

John Sheridan

I know what is in Dukat's sacred place. omph!

Delenn

Stop! What is... in Dukat's sacred place?

John Sheridan

Entilzah. Entilzah!

Delenn

Let them go.

Satah?

Delenn

I said, let them go. There has been enough blood spilled this day.

Dr. Franklin

Entilzah. What does that mean?

G'Kar

The future.

Delenn

May I assume that this has nothing to do with you wanting to be the first to unlock whatever secrets this thing brings with it?

John Sheridan

Me? When have you ever known me to have a personal agenda?

Delenn

John, whenever something comes into our proximity that has to do with the unknown, your eyes light up like two tiny suns. And do you know what words these two tiny lights spell out?

Sheridan

What?

Delenn

Mine! Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!

Sheridan

Oh, now that is a lie!

Delenn

Minbari do not lie.

Sheridan

Well then it is slander.

Delenn

To be slander, it must be false. That's two down.

Sheridan

Well, then it's...it's damned inconvenient.

Delenn

The truth always is.

Sheridan

Besides...it is mine.

How do you know they have a pouch?

John Sheridan

Well. It's not a pouch... exactly... It's their reproductive area.

Ugh, why did you have to tell me that? Hey, lady! Dureena! Listen! The only thing valuable I carry on me is my watch! I want you to know that in case that ever comes up in the future. Okay?

Elizabeth Lochley

You're asking the impossible.

John Sheridan

Then I am asking the right person.
