EPEarth President Susanna Luchenko
Well, Captain, you caused quite a stir. Half of EarthForce wants to give you a kiss on the cheek and the Medal of Honor. The other half wants you taken out and shot. As a politician you learn how to compromise. Which by all right means I should give you the Medal of Honor, then have you shot. I confess the idea had a certain appeal when I mentioned it to the Joint Chiefs two hours ago. [...] The bitch of it is that you probably did the right thing. But you did it in the wrong way, in the inconvenient way. Now you have to pay the penalty for that. I know it stinks, but that's the way it is.
I find it amazing that you think that threats still mean anything to me. 'Do this or you're a dead man.' Death! Been there, done that.
[Londo and G'Kar watch the ISN report on the new Interstellar Alliance.]
So, how does it feel to make history, hmm?
You do not make history. You can only hope to survive it.
It was the end of the Earth year 2261, and it was the dawn of a new age...for all of us. It was end of one chapter, and the beginning of another. The next twenty years would see great changes, great joy, and great sorrow. The Telepath War, and the Drakh War. The new Alliance would waver, and crack...but in the end, it would hold. Because what is built endures, and what is loved endures...and Babylon 5...Babylon 5 endures.
[after the reveal that the new Interstellar Alliance has selected him as their first President]
Funny thing about retiring. You no sooner pick out the places you want to go on vacation then someone comes at you with another job offer.
