Gentlemen, of all things in life, are females not the finest?
On that, Mollari, we can at least agree. [takes a drink from Londo's bottle]

In this episode: Londo Mollari (3), Susan Ivanova (1), G'Kar (1)
What do you want, you moon-faced assassin of joy?
[to Adira] We Centauri live our lives for appearances, position, status, title. These are the things by which we define ourselves. But when I look beneath the mask I am forced to wear, I see only emptiness. And then I think of you, and then I say...to Hell with appearances.
[Ivanova talks to her father for the last time]
AIAndrei Ivanov
Is that you, Susan?
Yes.
AIAndrei Ivanov
Oh dear God! I never thought I'd see your face again. It makes this easier. Susan, I know I haven't been the best of fathers to you. But when your mother passed on and your brother was killed in the war I was too wrapped up in my own grief to pay attention to your needs. And when you joined EarthForce against my wishes...
You don't have to say this, Father.
AIAndrei Ivanov
Yes, Yes I must. There's no more time. I want you to know how proud I am of you, Susan. I always have been. But a father should give his daughter love as well as respect, and in that I failed you. I'm sorry, I'm ashamed. Forgive me.
[she nods her head]
AIAndrei Ivanov
Thank you, dushenka moya.
"Little soul." You haven't called me that for...Papa!
