[G'Kar tries to dissuade a skeptical Catherine Sakai from her flight to Sigma 957.]
Let me pass on to you the one thing I've learned about this place. No one here is exactly what he appears. Not Mollari, not Delenn, not Sinclair…and not me.
. . .
[After returning from Sigma 957, Sakai seeks out G'Kar.]
Ah, Ms. Sakai. I'm pleased to see that you have returned safely from your expedition.
Yes, thanks to you. Just one question. Why?
Why not?
It's not an answer.
Oh yes it is. It's simply not an answer you like or the answer you expected. There's a difference. Narns, humans, Centauri, we all do what we do for the same reason: because it seemed like a good idea at the time. There was no profit, no advantage in letting you fall to an untimely and most uncomfortable death. It would distress the Commander to no good effect. So once again we return to, "Why not?" I told you before you left: no one here is entirely what they appear. If I surprised you, all the better. Good day, Ms. Sakai.
