Susan IvanovaI'm in the middle of fifteen things, all of them annoying.
IvanovaI do not like Santiago. I've always thought that a leader should have a strong chin. He has no chin, and his vice president has several. This to me is not a good combination.
IvanovaMr. Garibaldi, you're sitting at my station, using my equipment. Is there a reason for this, or to save time should I just snap your hand off at the wrist?
[An unknown ship on collision course with the station.]
Susan IvanovaThis is not a clear and present danger? I must read the rule book again.
[ISN reporter Mary Ann Cramer tries to press Sinclair for information, but Ivanova steps in front of her.]
Susan IvanovaDon't. You're too young to experience that much pain.
Ivanova[to a Drazi ship threatening to fire on the station] Vakar Ashok, our gun arrays are now fixed on your ship. They will fire the instant you come into range. You will find their power most impressive...for a few seconds.
Susan IvanovaAfter that [pacing to and fro], maybe I'll try pacing fro and to, just for the kick of it.
IvanovaDon't worry about me. I'll just sit here and knit something.
[Ivanova confronts Psi Corps specialist Harriman Gray.]
Susan IvanovaMr. Gray. I'm grateful the Psi Corps has given you a purpose in life. [She looks him directly in the eye] But when that purpose includes scanning my mind to prove my loyalty, it's not only an invasion of my privacy, but my honor! As for fear, if you enter my mind for any reason, I will twist your head off and use it for a chamberpot!
[Sinclair and Ivanova see Garibaldi and Lennier ride through the corridor on a motorcycle.]
IvanovaIt's good to have things back to normal.
Susan IvanovaThere's nothing more annoying than Mr. Garibaldi when he's right.
[after Captain Pierce of the EAS Hyperion and an alien ship trade ultimatums]
IvanovaWorst case of testosterone poisoning I've ever seen.
[Sheridan asks his staff if they want in on the conspiracy.]
IvanovaWherever this goes, however it ends, we're with you.
[Opening credits voiceover.]
Susan IvanovaThe Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed. But in the year of the Shadow War, it became something greater: our last, best hope...for victory. The year is 2260. The place, Babylon 5.
[Ivanova preempts Sheridan's belated revelation of the Rangers by detailing what he was going to say.]
IvanovaCaptain, the day something happens around here and I don't know about it, worry.
