If I knew who God was, I'd thank her.
S1Eyes
[Garibaldi enters the casino to find an angry, inebriated Ivanova mopping the floor with the patrons.]
Are you gonna arrest me, Garibaldi?
No way! I wanna live to see the future.
[A vengeful Earthforce colonel has a PPG pistol pointed at Sinclair, Ivanova, and Garibaldi]
He can't get all of us.
CACol. Ari Ben Zayn
Famous last words from a trio of mutineers!
HGHarriman Gray
Colonel...pain...
[Gray telepathically tweaks the colonel, causing him to double up in pain; Sinclair grabs the colonel's gun and drops him with a single punch]
I assume the investigation is concluded?
[Sinclair and Ivanova see Garibaldi and Lennier ride through the corridor on a motorcycle.]
It's good to have things back to normal.
S1Legacies
Branmer's life was more significant than his battles. Let the warrior caste praise his courage in war, and let the rest praise him for what he truly was--a man of peace.
You talk like a Minbari, Commander. Perhaps there was some small wisdom in letting your species survive.
We like to think so.
There's nothing more annoying than Mr. Garibaldi when he's right.
S1A Voice in the Wilderness, Part 1
[Sinclair comes upon Talia waiting for a tube car.]
It seems like every time I get into the tube, Mr. Garibaldi's there! It's like he knows!
Talia, Mr. Garibaldi is many things, but he's not omniscient.
[The tube opens, revealing a grinning Garibaldi, then closes again.]
I think I'll take the stairs.
I think I'll join you.
Quickly, what is the third principle of sentient life?
[Delenn turns around and sees Draal.]
Draal!
Incorrect answer! The third principle of sentient life is the capacity for self-sacrifice: the conscious ability to override evolution and self-preservation for a cause, a friend, a loved one. It has been too long, Delenn. You have forgotten your training. Soon you will have forgotten all about your old friend Draal.
Not if I live to be a thousand and one.
[A survey shuttle limps back to Babylon 5 after its second, near-fatal disaster.]
TDr. Tasaki
Survey 1 to Babylon Control, we're clear. Returning to base.
Confirmed, Survey 1. Upon arrival, you will report for debriefing. [pauses] And just one more thing. On your trip back, I'd like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra: "Ivanova...is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova...is God. And, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out!" Babylon Control out. [sighs to herself] Civilians. [looks up] Just kidding about that God part. No offense.
[Londo is cheering up Garibaldi with a tale.]
The next day, I woke up, I saw her in the light of day, sleeping against my arm, and I decided I would rather chew off my arm than wake her up.
Aw, that's sweet.
No, no! She had a voice that could curdle fresh milk.
[Londo to Garibaldi.]
Now, I go to spread happiness to the rest of the station. It is a terrible responsibility but I have learned to live with it.
[upon seeing the Great Machine on Epsilon 3 for the first time]
Commander?
Yeah?
I think I've got to go to the bathroom.
Tell me about it!
[Londo vents his frustrations over trying to understand humans to Delenn and Draal.]
These Earthers! I try to find out as much as I can about them to try to make some sense of them, but it never seems to come together.
They do seem to be a mass of contradictions.
Exactly my point! Here–six thousand years of recorded history, a history that includes remarkable composers, astonishing symphonies! But what is the one song that half of them sing to their children generation after generation?
You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out.
You put your whole self in,
And you turn yourself about.
You do the hokey-pokey,
You give a little shout.
That's what it's all about!
It doesn't mean anything! I have been studying it for seven days! I had the computer analyze it! I swear to you, it does not mean a thing!
We've come at a bad time, haven't we?
