Stephen, there's a Martian war machine parked outside. They'd like a word with you about the common cold.
Tell them to make an appointment.

[ISN reporter Mary Ann Cramer tries to press Sinclair for information, but Ivanova steps in front of her.]
Don't. You're too young to experience that much pain.
You forgot the first rule of the fanatic: when you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy!
MAMary Ann Cramer
Is it worth it? Should we just pull back? Forget the whole thing as a bad idea, and take care of our own problems, at home.
No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes...[and] all of this...all of this...was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.

[singing]
So many fishies, left in the sea
So many fishies, but no one for me!
I'm thinking of thinking of hooking a love
Soon after supper is done.
NCNarn Courier
Are you Ambassador G'Kar?
This is Ambassador G'Kar's quarters. This is Ambassador G'Kar's table! This is Ambassador G'Kar's dinner! Which part of this progression escapes you?!
Do you know what the last Xon said just before he died? [clutches chest] AAAAGGGHHHH!
. . .
[A drunken Londo climbs across a dinner table as he describes a collection of Centauri statues.]
This is Ben-Zed, god of food! And...Li, goddess of passion! And Mo-goth, god of the underworld, and protector of front doors. Gods by the bushel! Gods by the pound! Gods for all occasions!!
[He leans toward a discomfited Delenn.]
Have I ever told you that you are very cute for a Minbari?
[He crawls over to Garibaldi.]
Oh! And you are cute, too, in an annoying sort of way. Everybody's cute. Everybody's cute! Even me. But in purple, I'm stunning!
[He passes out on the table.]
Ah! He has become one with his inner self!
He's passed out.
That too.
And you have no idea how that [a black flower sent to G'Kar as a sign that he is about to be assassinated] got into my bed?
NTNa'Toth
Ambassador, it is not my place to speculate on how anything gets into your bed. Your reputed fascination with Earth women, for instance.
. . .
The Earthers have a phrase: Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. I believe they stole it from us.
[Delenn meets her new aide at customs]
You can look up, Lennier of the Third Fane of Chu'Domo.
It is forbidden.
I cannot have an aide who will not look up. You will be forever walking into things.[N]
[Sinclair's pocketed link beeps, interrupting Catherine.]
I don't mean to alarm you, but your pants are talking to you.
I know.
[Sinclair is listening to an audio recording of Tennyson's Ulysses in his quarters]
Tennyson? Jeff, you've been caught on that one since the Academy! What's it take to drag you into the 23rd century?
We find meaning where we can.
Ah, and which are you? "An idle king...doling unequal laws unto a savage race that hoard and sleep and feed and know not you"? Or, "this gray spirit, yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star"?
I didn't know you'd memorized it!
I lived with you for a year. I didn't have much choice.
That hurt.
NTNa'Toth
Ambassador, it was the only way to disable the paingivers. I had to hit them as hard as possible, as often as possible, and still make it appear as though I were beating you into another incarnation.
And you didn't enjoy it in the least?
NTNa'Toth
I didn't say that.
[Sinclair grabs Catherine's wrist as she moves to leave his quarters.]
Don't touch me unless you mean it.
[To Tu'Pari] That's your flight. I suggest you board quickly. With luck, they may never find you, but if they do, you will know pain…
NTNa'toth
…and you will know fear…
…and then you will die. Have a pleasant flight.
