“A Distant Star” · Season 2
In this episode: John Sheridan (4), Stephen Franklin (2), Susan Ivanova (1), Michael Garibaldi (1), Delenn (1)
[Captain Jack Maynard of the Cortez has just met Delenn]
John! She's...Minbari?
Mm-hmm.
Uh...but she doesn't look like one! I mean, she does, but...but she doesn't! I mean, what's the deal?
We're still trying to figure that out. There's the story she told us, but then, the Minbari never tell you the whole truth.
[Dr. Franklin watches Ivanova as she storms off with his recovery-enhancing "food plan".]
Figures. All my life, I've fought against imperialism. Now, suddenly, I am the expanding Russian frontier.
But with very nice borders.
I'll tell you one thing. If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea! Hell, I always thought the opposable thumb was overrated!
An old friend of mine once quoted me a [sic]...ancient Egyptian blessing: God be between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.
I wish I had your...faith in the universe. I just don't see it sometimes.
Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective.
[Garibaldi is cooking bagna cauda for himself and Dr. Franklin.]
Trust me, Doc, you are gonna love this!
I can feel my arteries hardening just being in the same room with it!
