“Between the Darkness and the Light” quotes from Babylon 5

Lyta Alexander

Michael, if I do a deep scan, it could damage you.

Michael Garibaldi

And if you don't, they're gonna kill me. Now, a headache I can get over. I'm not sure I'm gonna get over being dead anytime soon.

Lyta

It's true. What he told us, it's all true.

Like that means a damn! How do we know that anything you say is the truth? You could be saying whatever the hell you want–

Lyta

What do YOU know about Hell? Hmm? [she turns to face Number One, her eyes completely black] Would you like me to show it to you? Mine and his?

[recoils] It's true. Damned, it's true!

Garibaldi

Okay, who gulped? Somebody gulped. We have got a long way to go. We're supposed to sip, not gulp.

Franklin

I didn't gulp.

Lyta

I sipped.

Garibaldi

[to Lyta] You I believe.

Franklin

[chagrined] What? Why do you believe her and not me?

Garibaldi

Because when you lie, it's all over your face. She's a better liar than you are.

Lyta

Thank you. [pause] Wait a minute! [...] What do you mean I'm a good liar?

[in a monotone] I don't watch TV. It's a cultural wasteland filled with inappropriate metaphors and an unrealistic portrayal of life created by the liberal media elite.

Lyta

Pain... [whispered into a guard's ear; he then howls in agony and drops to the floor in a heap]

Susan Ivanova

This is the White Star fleet. Negative on the surrender. We will not stand down.

Who is this? Identify yourself!

Ivanova

Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am Death Incarnate, and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me.
