Anything to declare?
I have nothing to declare, my dear man, except my genius!
[through his machine] And I have nothing to declare but Rebo's genius either. Zooty-zoot, zoot, zoot!
[Londo talks to a portrait of the first Centauri emperor.]
So. When you were emperor, it meant something. Subduer of the Xon and the Shoggren. Now–pffft–anyone can be emperor. I can be emperor. Vir can be emperor. If Vir can be emperor...a small Earth cat can be emperor!
[The Brakiri Day of the Dead has begun, and part of the station is...off-limits.]
There seems to be a slight problem, sir. It's kind of hard to explain. We seem to be missing a piece of the station. We can't reach it. We can't communicate with it.
That piece is almost a square mile across. You can't just lose something that big.
I agree, but it's still missing.
[Lennier is visited by Morden.]
I came for wisdom.
You don't come to the dead for wisdom, Lennier. My head was cut from my body. Even now, it rots on a pole outside the Imperial Palace. Birds have taken the hair for their nests. Maggots ate my flesh. And you want wisdom?
Yes, I do.
. . .
Why did you help me? I know what kind of a man you were.
Give a dog a bad name, and you can hang him with it. You shouldn't listen to everything Sheridan tells you. Actually, I'm surprised he's not here tonight, since he died at Z'ha'dum. Is there any coffee here or not?
[Garibaldi is visited by Dodger.]
It's some guy's fantasy. A love hungry red-head who will disappear in the morning never to be seen again!
I'm sorry Dodger, what were you saying?
[frustrated] It's a good thing I'm only here another hour or so, cupcake. Two weeks of this, I'd kill you.
[Sheridan and Delenn greet Rebo and Zooty in their quarters, where they have all gathered for dinner. As Delenn and Zooty walk off, Sheridan leans in to talk to Rebo.]
You know, I was really hoping to talk to Zooty. You know, without the machine.
Yeah. He never breaks character, not even around me. In ten years, I've only heard him say one word without the machine.
Oh. Oh. What's the word?
Why.
Oh, just curious.
No, no. That was the word. "Why". In ten years, I haven't figured it out myself.
...
[Later, in the Zocalo, Zooty gestures for Sheridan to lean close. He takes off his hat, puts it over the machine hanging from his pocket, and whispers conspiratorially to Sheridan. Sheridan's eyes go wide, and Zooty nods in confirmation. He dons his hat and walks off. G'Kar runs up to him.]
What did he say?!
[astonished] "Because it tells me to…"
