Delenn quotes from Babylon 5

Delenn

It occurs to me I have never walked the length of this place, end to end.

John Sheridan

Well, Delenn, it's 5 miles long.

Delenn

I know. Coming?

Sheridan

Now?

Delenn

Now is all we have.

Sheridan

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

Michael Garibaldi

G'Kar.

Vir

Londo.

Delenn

Lennier.

Franklin

Mar--

Susan Ivanova

Marcus.

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

What are you doing here?

Creating the future.

If you are seeing this message, it is because I am dead. I entrust this message to the Vorlons to give it to the right person at the right time. They have come to us in secret and they say that this time, we will need allies. A particular race so far unknown to us, called humans. It is their hope that we find these humans and bring them into the battle on our side. The servants of the Shadows are gathering at Z'ha'dum. Their masters can not be far behind. Finish what I have started. Finish it.

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

I don't know what to do. Tell me what to do.

The truth, points to itself.

Delenn

What?

The truth,... points to itself.

Delenn

I...I don't understand.

You will. Now go.

Go now. Before it is too late.

Delenn

Do you not have files on the Vorlons?

Sinclair

Absolutely. Very large files. There's nothing in them, of course. How much do you have?

Delenn

More than you, it would seem. Naturally, it's all classified.

Sinclair

Naturally.

Delenn

[producing a data card] Here is a copy of everything I have. It may be of use. If anyone asks...say it fell from the sky. I imagine I will be quite astonished by this breach of security.

Delenn

You're all right? Do you need anything?

Sinclair

Coffee. Two sugars. Cream. And aspirin. Lots and lots of aspirin!

Delenn

There is something I've been wondering. Why Babylon 5? If the prior four stations were lost or destroyed, why build another?

Sinclair

Plain old human stubbornness, I guess. When something we value is destroyed, we rebuild it. If it's destroyed again, we rebuild it again. And again, and again, and...again, until it stays. That, as our poet Tennyson once said, is the goal: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Delenn

A poet?

Sinclair

Someone who writes poems. [She gives him a confused look.] A poem. A story in meter or rhyme.

Delenn

[smiling] Ah! "There once was a man from Nantucket."

Sinclair

[chuckles] You've been talking to Garibaldi again, haven't you?

Delenn

Yes. How did you know?

Sinclair

[smiling] Oh, just a wild guess.

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.
