“Rumors, Bargains and Lies” · Season 4
In this episode: Delenn (2), John Sheridan (1), Susan Ivanova (1), Neroon (1)
[Delenn meets with Neroon to discuss their castes' open war.]
Yes, we've disagreed, even fought, but I would rather have someone who opposed me out of an honest belief in the rightness of his cause than someone who is always on my side because it was expected and required.
[Sheridan is speaking with the Drazi ambassador about White Star ships on the borders of Centauri and Narn space.]
I can't confirm that.
But you're not denying it either.
But not denying it doesn't make it true any more than not confirming it makes it false. - Are you with me so far?
I'm not sure.
Ambassador, there are so many things in the universe that are and so many things that aren't. If I were to take the time to deny all the things that aren't, we'd be here for centuries, wouldn't we?
[Delenn meets with Neroon to discuss their castes' open war.]
Yes, we've disagreed, even fought, but I would rather have someone who opposed me out of an honest belief in the rightness of his cause than someone who is always on my side because it was expected and required. I've questioned your judgment, your wisdom, your temperament, but never your loyalty.
Was that a compliment?
After a fashion.
Then you trust me?
After a fashion.

[later, after two attempts on their lives are foiled]
Dukhat chose you above all to follow him. Slowly, dimly, I begin to understand why. I do not know what lies ahead of us, Delenn. But I do know that it is right that we are here together.
Was that a compliment, Neroon?
[smiling wryly] After a fashion.
[After Ivanova has been told to "plant" a story on the Voice of the Resistance.]
First, one brief announcement. I just wanted to mention, for those who have asked, that absolutely nothing whatsoever happened today in sector 83-by-9-by-12. I repeat, nothing happened. Please remain calm.
