Londo Mollari quotes from Babylon 5

Londo

All of the bottles here are empty? The metaphor's getting a bit thick, don't you think?

Londo Mollari

So. When you were emperor, it meant something. Subduer of the Xon and the Shoggren. Now–pffft–anyone can be emperor. I can be emperor. Vir can be emperor. If Vir can be emperor...a small Earth cat can be emperor!

Londo

We have to do it without killing a guard, without raising any alarms, and without anyone noticing that she is gone. For my next trick, I shall fly around the room under my own power.

Londo Mollari

The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. But where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it. They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones and then throw themselves without fear or hesitation at the very face of death itself. Never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage...their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships, they used guns. When they ran out of guns, they used knives and sticks and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope, that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes at the end. They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage. But in the end...they ran out of time.

Londo Mollari

Why did the Minbari surrender at the Battle of the Line, on the very eve of victory? The answer would change the galaxy forever.

Londo Mollari

I was there at the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind. It began in the Earth year 2257, with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations, located deep in neutral space. It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats and travelers from a hundred worlds. It could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risk because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. Babylon 5 was a dream given form, a dream of a galaxy without war where species from different worlds could live side by side in mutual respect. Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story.

Londo

I suppose there'll be a war now, hm? All that running around and shooting one another. You'd think that sooner or later, it would go out of fashion.

Londo

There was a time when this whole quadrant belonged to us! What are we now? Twelve worlds and a thousand monuments to past glories, living off memories and stories...selling trinkets! My god, man, we've become a tourist attraction! "See the great Centauri Republic, open nine to five...Earth time!"

Londo Mollari

[arguing with Garibaldi] We made a mistake, I'm sorry. Here, open my wrists. [offers Garibaldi his wrists]

Michael Garibaldi

Centauri don't have major arteries in their wrists.

Londo

Of course not! What, do you think I am stupid?

Londo

What reasonable explanation is there for the slaughter of unarmed civilians?

G'Kar

Curious. We wondered the same thing when you invaded our world. The wheel turns, does it not, Ambassador?

Londo

We should have wiped out your kind when we had the chance.

G'Kar

What happened? Run out of small children to butcher?

Londo

Just now, would you really have killed me?

Garibaldi

Yes. Yes, I would have. But I'm just as glad I didn't have to. The paperwork's a pain in the butt.

Londo Mollari

Gentlemen, of all things in life, are females not the finest?

G'Kar

On that, Mollari, we can at least agree. [takes a drink from Londo's bottle]

Londo Mollari

Do you know what the last Xon said just before he died? [clutches chest] AAAAGGGHHHH!

Londo

This is Ben-Zed, god of food! And...Li, goddess of passion! And Mo-goth, god of the underworld, and protector of front doors. Gods by the bushel! Gods by the pound! Gods for all occasions!!

Londo

Have I ever told you that you are very cute for a Minbari?

Londo

Oh! And you are cute, too, in an annoying sort of way. Everybody's cute. Everybody's cute! Even me. But in purple, I'm stunning!

Vir Cotto

Ah! He has become one with his inner self!

Michael Garibaldi

He's passed out.

Vir

That too.

Vir Cotto

But they love each other!

Londo Mollari

Love. Pah! Overrated.

Londo

Here. Look. These are my three wives: Pestilence, Famine, and Death.[N]

Londo

They inspired me! Knowing that they were waiting for me is what keeps me here -- 75 light-years away.

G'Kar

You left your door unlocked, Ambassador. Careless of you. I thought it best to sit here and guard your room until you returned.

Londo

And did you find anything of interest in my humble quarters while you were 'guarding it'?

G'Kar

[obviously disappointed] No.
