Elizabeth Lochley quotes from Babylon 5

Elizabeth Lochley

Dr. Wolfgang Pauli was a physicist during the late 20th century. Whenever he stepped inside the physics lab, something would go wrong or break down, usually a very expensive piece of equipment. Became kind of a joke with the other doctors, who called it the Pauli effect. According to the story, one day an extremely sensitive and expensive piece of equipment exploded, but he wasn't in the room. So for the first time, they had some proof that the Pauli effect wasn't real. Until they found out that at the exact moment the equipment exploded, he was on a train passing by right in front of the place.

As long as you're running an efficient operation and aren't looking for trouble, you are doing just fine.

David Corwin

That's what I'm trying to tell you. Around here we don't have to go looking for trouble. On B5, trouble comes looking for us.

Delenn

Captain, this is not about revenge.

Elizabeth Lochley

[sarcastically] Oh? Then what is this about?

Delenn

Terror.

Lochley

So, what kind of terror are we talking about here, Delenn?

Delenn

The kind that cripples...the kind that destroys. Not from without, but from within. As soon as he can stand, whether he is fully healed or not, Tennier will prepare to face his terror. Those who harmed him now have power over him. He must take back that power or he will never be whole again. We will go with him, and bring him to the point of his terror. And then, he will face it.

Lochley

But if he isn't fully healed, he could die in the effort.

Delenn

As Anla'shok, we choose to do that which frightens us, knowing that there are no guarantees. He may lose; we cannot help him.

Lochley

Then he will stand alone.

Delenn

At the end, Captain, we all stand alone.

John Sheridan

I'm caught in a web of my own good intentions.

Elizabeth Lochley

Well, the road to hell is paved with them, sir.

Sheridan

I know. But why does it have to go through this office?

Lochley

What the hell is your problem?

Michael Garibaldi

For starters, I don't know you, therefore I don't trust you.

Lochley

The world's full of people you don't know.

Garibaldi

I worry about that all the time.

Lochley

Tough. Get over it.

Zack Allan

Where you going?

Lochley

To pound someone, Mr. Allan. You win. I just decided if you can't join 'em, beat 'em.

Lyta Alexander

I'm tired of being pushed around, Captain. I do not choose to be arrested. I've done a lot for this place…and just once I think a little gratitude would be in order, don't you?

Elizabeth Lochley

Lyta, don't force us to-

Lyta

To what?

Lochley

[gestures to Zack] Zack…

Lochley

Zack!

Lyta

You cannot harm me. You cannot stop someone who's been touched by Vorlons.

John Sheridan

You're not the only one that's been touched by the Vorlons. [gestures to the crowd] Let them go.

Sheridan

Let 'em go or I'll blow the back of your skull off!

Elizabeth Lochley

You're asking the impossible.

John Sheridan

Then I am asking the right person.
