MLMajor Lianna Kemmer

I demand you open a channel to Earth at once!

I am a Lieutenant Commander in Earthforce, Major. I do not take demands. If you have a request, I'll consider it.

MKMaj. Kemmer

Very well, then. I request that you open a channel to Earthdome!

Request denied. Have a nice day.

The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

[G'Kar makes the suddenly fugitive Garibaldi an offer.]

What if I told you a ship is ready to spirit you away to Narn space?

I'd say "Why?"

You could serve us in various ways. Analyst, security, cryptographer. If you grow homesick we could arrange for your return to human space with proper genetic alterations. That, too, might serve our needs.

You want me to betray my own world?

Stop seeing things in such absolute terms. The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest. Unless you comprehend that fact and soon, you will be cornered and caged.

S1By Any Means Necessary

[G'Kar is informed that Londo Mollari is the only person on the station that has a flower he needs for a religious ceremony]

Why does the universe hate me?

[Londo Mollari returns to his quarters to find the door open and G'Kar sitting at his table]

You left your door unlocked, Ambassador. Careless of you. I thought it best to sit here and guard your room until you returned.

And did you find anything of interest in my humble quarters while you were 'guarding it'?

[obviously disappointed] No.

SHSenator Hidoshi

You are not the most popular person in government circles right now.

[After the call ends]

[unhappily] So what else is new?

S1Signs and Portents

[Lord Kiro dismisses his aunt's vision of Babylon 5's destruction.]

KLord Kiro

She's been wrong before. On my first birthday, she said that someday I would be killed by...shadows. [N]

What do you want?

To be left alone!

[Londo leaves the lift and quickly walks away.]

Is that it? Is that really all, Ambassador?

[Londo sighs, then turns around.]

All right. Fine! You really want to know what I want? You really want to know the truth? I want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy. I want to see the Centauri stretch forth their hand again, and command the stars! I-I want a rebirth of glory, a renaissance of power. I want to stop running through my life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to– to look back, or to look forward. I want us to be what we used to BE! I want...I want it all back, the way that it was! Does that answer your question?

[He turns and walks off.]

[smiling] Yes. Yes, it does.

[meeting Morden in a corridor] Leave this place. They are not for you. Go. Leave. NOW.
