G'Kar quotes from Babylon 5

Londo Mollari

He [a Narn] seems very glad to see you.

G'Kar

Yes, but we weren't gone that long. Less than a month.

Londo Mollari

Well, there you have the key to your popularity: your absence. Go away for a month and they bow. Go away for six months and they'll tear the place apart when you come back. Perhaps you should go away and never come back again. Then your popularity will be so overwhelming it would blacken the stars.

G'Kar

Mollari–

Londo Mollari

I have always said this about you: nothing so improves your company like the lack of it. ... Perhaps you can make some money from this: ten credits for you not to be there for an hour, a hundred credits for you not to be there for the day. And for you not to be there for the rest of your life, well, they could never afford it.

G'Kar

Where is my book? It is my only copy!

Ta'Lon

Yes, that is precisely the point. The Kha'Ri felt that if anything happened to you [on Centauri Prime] the book of G'Kar would never see the light of day, so we "liberated" it [from G'Kar's quarters].

G'Kar

Liberated it?

Ta'Lon

We took it home. Those that read it were very moved by it and they made some copies.

G'Kar

[aghast] Copies?!

Ta'Lon

Just a few...for their friends. A few more...later a few more copies.

G'Kar

How many?!

Ta'Lon

That's hard to say, exactly. There was some confusion when it went to the printers.

G'Kar

Printers?! I've only been gone for a month, Ta'Lon, there can't be that many copies floating around this quickly. How many?

Ta'Lon

Five or six...hundred...thousand.

G'Kar

What?!

Ta'Lon

I've been told that it will out-sell the book of G'Quan. [G'Kar stares at him in shock] Congratulations, citizen G'Kar. You are now a religious icon.

G'Kar

All my life, I have been responsible only for myself. When I risk, I risked alone to avoid making others pay the price for my mistakes. They want me to show them another way. What if I show them the wrong way? What if they come to me not because of the lesson, but because of the teacher? I worry, Ta'Lon, that my shadow may become greater than the message.

Ta'Lon

If that happens, I give you my word that I will personally kill you.

G'Kar

And this is supposed to put my mind at ease?

Is that why you brought it [G'Kar] along?

Londo Mollari

No, he is still here as my bodyguard, that's all. Where I go, he goes.

My condolences.

G'Kar

Thank you. It's a burden, but I've come to accept it.

I'm sure you would like to freshen up. Both of you.

G'Kar

It's a natural musk. I rather enjoy it.

Londo

Careful minister, we don't want my companion to get the wrong idea. We don't normally treat our guests so badly.

G'Kar

Yes you do.

Londo

Shut up.

Londo

Where he goes, I go.

Londo

[to G'Kar]: Shut up.

G'Kar

I didn't say anything.

Londo Mollari

No. I said where you go, I go. It's become a matter of principle.

G'Kar

You picked a terrible moment in your social evolution to develop principles. Perhaps you can start with something simpler. The moral equivalent of the opposable thumb, for instance.

Londo Mollari

Isn't it strange, G'Kar? When we first met I had no power and all the choices I could ever want. And now I have all the power I could ever want and no choices at all. No choice at all.

G'Kar

Mollari. Understand that I can never forgive your people for what they did to my world. My people can never forgive your people. But I can forgive you.

Stephen Franklin

Can God make a rock so big, that even he can't lift it?

G'Kar

Yes, I've heard it, but ...

Franklin

What if that is the wrong question? I wonder if the right question is, can God create a puzzle so difficult, a riddle so complex, that even he can't solve it? What if that's us? Maybe a problem like this is God's way of doing to us a little of what we do to him?

We put you in this position, G'Kar. Our reverence is our gift to you, and you are responsible to us. You owe us. Without us… you are nothing.

G'Kar

Then I am nothing. Goodbye.

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.
