[An unknown ship on collision course with the station.]
This is not a clear and present danger? I must read the rule book again.
“Soul Hunter” · Season 1
In this episode: Soul Hunter (7), Susan Ivanova (2), Jeffrey Sinclair (2), Stephen Franklin (2), Michael Garibaldi (1), Delenn (1)
The soul we save: not all, only the special ones. Leaders, thinkers, poets, dreamers, blessed lunatics.
It's all so brief, isn't it? Typical human lifespan is almost a hundred years, but it's barely a second compared to what's out there. It wouldn't be so bad if life didn't take so long to figure out. Seems you just start to get it right and then...it's over.
Doesn't matter. If we lived 200 years we'd still be human, we'd still make the same mistakes.
You're a pessimist.
I'm Russian, doctor. We understand these things.
They will join with the souls of all our people. Melt one into another until they are born into the next generation of Minbari. Remove those souls and the whole suffers. We are diminished, each generation becomes less than the one before.
A quaint lie, pretty fantasy. The soul ends with death, unless we act to preserve it.
I really hate it when you get heroic. Cuts into my business. A man's got to earn a living, you know.
I have come for you, Satai Delenn, to save your soul at any cost.
I will be careful. You will hardly feel it when your body dies.
You will feel as if you are falling. Do not be afraid. I will be here to catch you.
You would plan such a thing? You would do such a thing? Incredible!
Why do you fight for her? Don't you understand? She is Satai. She is Satai! I've seen her soul. They're using you. They're using you!
So, I hear you saw something.
Yes...something.
[Sinclair walks away, smiling.]
Well, uh, you think you can be a little more specific?
[Franklin chases after Sinclair.]
I'm not sure. I don't know if I'll ever be sure.
Well, I still don't believe it. And I'd be careful if I were you, Commander. That sort of talk will get you sent off on a very long vacation.

If I may ask, what happened to my brother's collection?
[with a sly smile] Life's full of mysteries. Consider this one of them.
