Lennier quotes from Babylon 5

Lennier

I'm trying to keep a promise. By breaking a promise. I was told not to mention this to anyone in the chain of command. You were not mentioned by name but that is implicit. However, by telling you, the captain need not find out about it and I will not have broken the promise.

Marcus

I'm in awe, Lennier. The way you can take a simple proposition and turn it inside out so that it says what you want it to say rather than what it actually says. Does this come naturally or did you attend some sort of...martial arts class for the philosophically inclined?

Lennier

It was the year of fire...

Zack Allan

...the year of destruction...

G'Kar

...the year we took back what was ours.

Lyta Alexander

It was the year of rebirth...

Vir Cotto

...the year of great sadness...

Marcus Cole

...the year of pain...

Delenn

...and a year of joy.

Londo Mollari

It was...a new age.

Stephen Franklin

It was the end of history.

Susan Ivanova

It was the year everything changed.

Michael Garibaldi

The year is 2261.

John Sheridan

The place, Babylon 5.

Ivanova

Lennier, get us the hell out of here!

Lennier

Initiating "getting the hell out of here" maneuver.

Zack Allan

Oh yeah, I should listen to a Minbari about fashion. I mean, robes? Hoods? No offense, but I've seen Vorlons with more fashion sense.

Zack

She did that on purpose.

Lennier

Yes, I believe she did. I will deal with this.

Lennier

[in Minbari] Good work. Give me a moment with the Human, and next time...use a bigger needle.

Zack

Yeah, and don't you forget it!

Lennier

What kind of drink is that?

Vir Cotto

I'm not sure. The bartender called it a "Shirley Temple."

Lennier

Interesting. I've studied many Earth religions and I don't think I've ever heard of that particular temple.

Vir

Me neither. But, it's real good.

Lennier

Well then. I shall make a point to visit it on my next trip to Earth.

Lennier

I came for wisdom.

Morden

You don't come to the dead for wisdom, Lennier. My head was cut from my body. Even now, it rots on a pole outside the Imperial Palace. Birds have taken the hair for their nests. Maggots ate my flesh. And you want wisdom?

Lennier

Yes, I do.

Lennier

Why did you help me? I know what kind of a man you were.

Morden

Give a dog a bad name, and you can hang him with it. You shouldn't listen to everything Sheridan tells you. Actually, I'm surprised he's not here tonight, since he died at Z'ha'dum. Is there any coffee here or not?
