[Ivanova rants about EarthGov's decision to sell B5 merchandise.]
Welcome to Babylon 5, the last, best hope for a quick buck!
Commander--
Oh, this is demeaning! I mean, we're not some...some deep-space franchise! This station is about something. [N]
“There All the Honor Lies” · Season 2
In this episode: John Sheridan (5), Susan Ivanova (3), Londo Mollari (2), Delenn (1), Lennier (1)
[Lawyer Guinevere Corey interrupts the questioning of Minbari witness Ashan.]
GCGuinevere Corey
May I ask what you were discussing here?
The only thing that matters--the truth.
GCGuinevere Corey
Ah, yes. The favorite song of the legally ignorant.
[Londo sputters outrage over a B5 Emporium "Londo Mollari" doll.]
It's a mockery! It doesn't even have any, uh...attributes.
Attributes?
Do I have to spell it out for you?
[Londo gestures downward. Ivanova and Sheridan stare at Londo, then at each other.]
SISheridan, Ivanova
Ohh!
I see. So you feel like you're being symbolically cast--in a bad light.
Well put.
I– I never thought there could be anything worse than being all alone in the night.
But there is. Being all alone in a crowd.

In the service of their clan, they're ready to sacrifice everything–their individuality, their blood, their life.
Their honor? Oh, we've had plenty of that ourselves. Conspiracies of silence, because the larger ideals have to be protected. But you can't have larger ideals if the smaller ones get compromised. It's like building a house without a foundation, Delenn--it can't stand!
AAshan
We are not responsible. It was the leaders of our clan who decided to act without asking the Council or anyone else in the government–not us. Yes, it was foolish--
No, not foolish. It was tragic.
[Londo goads a hung-over Vir.]
Good, Vir--you're sobering up! I can see the synapses beginning to fire behind your eyes! A frightening sight, I might add.
[Ivanova hands Sheridan a teddy bear from the new gift shop.]
Ba-Bear-lon 5? Oh, he's a cute one. [Notices the initials on the shirt.] J.S.?
John Sheridan.
Oh, this is supposed to be me? [Suddenly turns grim.] I want it off my station. I want 'em all off my station. I want the whole place yanked out, boxed up, and shipped out by 0800 tomorrow. Is that clear?
I'll get right on it.
Oh, and...[Takes the bear.]
...
[Warren Keffer responds to a report of a UFO outside the station.]
CCC&C
Babylon Control to Zeta-One. Any trace of that unidentified object?
WKWarren Keffer
Negative, Babylon Control. I don't see a...
[Said teddy bear hits his Starfury's viewport for a moment before drifting away again.]
CCC&C
Zeta-One, have you encountered unidentified object? Can you describe it?
KKeffer
Negative, Babylon Control. I don't think so. Not on a bet. Heading back to the barn.
