I'm caught in a web of my own good intentions.
Well, the road to hell is paved with them, sir.
I know. But why does it have to go through this office?
“Strange Relations” · Season 5
In this episode: Elizabeth Lochley (3), John Sheridan (1), Londo Mollari (1), Michael Garibaldi (1), G'Kar (1), Delenn (1), Alfred Bester (1), Lyta Alexander (1)
[Lyta demonstrates her telekinesis by "slapping" two of Bester's Psi Cops]
Not bad. Tell me, is that really telekinesis, or are you just pushing the nerve endings, making them feel as if they've been slapped? Either way, it's taken a lot out of you, Lyta. You're sweating, flushed. How many times can you do that, Lyta? Can you do just one at a time? Maybe two? How about three? How about a half dozen of us?
I don't know. Like you said, I'm new at this. I could even make a mistake. Maybe even pop a blood vessel in someone's head by accident by pushing too hard. Feel like playing the odds, Mr. Bester?
What the hell is your problem?
For starters, I don't know you, therefore I don't trust you.
The world's full of people you don't know.
I worry about that all the time.
Tough. Get over it.
[after realizing Garibaldi has accessed her personnel file, Lochley storms out of her office]
Where you going?
To pound someone, Mr. Allan. You win. I just decided if you can't join 'em, beat 'em.
[G'Kar and Delenn are discussing how he can best help the Alliance. They turn to the topic of Londo's return to Centauri Prime.]
He should have a bodyguard assigned to him at all times while he is there. Someone we can rely on, someone, uh… someone we can trust. Someone strong… strong enough to…
[He looks down to see Delenn eyeing him, excitedly.]
Oh, no…
...
The Alliance is about learning to overcome our distrust and form a new community. Can you think of a better symbol?
No, and I'm trying. Believe me.
...
You would naturally have to accompany him on all state business and be there to guard him. In the palace. In the Royal Court.
[brightens] A Narn in the Centauri Royal Court? [laughs] It is a curiously satisfying image, Delenn!
...
[Later, Delenn meets with Londo Mollari just before he and G'Kar leave.]
[worried] G'Kar? You've assigned G'Kar as my bodyguard?
Yes. I think your generosity in working with him will be an excellent symbol of unity for all the other races who could join the Alliance.
A symbol…
Yes.
And you tried this line on G'Kar?
I did.
And did it work?
Completely.
[swears] Great Maker!
