S2The Geometry of Shadows

Oh, I'm afraid you have to spend the rest of your life paying for your mistakes. Not this one of course, it's trivial, I have withdrawn the spell, but there will be others.

What are you talking about?

You are touched by darkness, Ambassador. I see it as a blemish that will grow with time. I could warn you of course, but you would not listen. I could kill you, but someone would take your place. So I do the only thing I can–I go. [starts to turn away, then turns back to Londo] Oh, I believe it was an endorsement you wanted. A word or two, a picture, to send to the folks back home, confirming that you have a destiny before you.

Yes, it was just a thought, nothing more.

Well, take this for what little it will profit you. As I look at you, Ambassador Mollari, I see a great hand reaching out of the stars. The hand is your hand. And I hear sounds–the sounds of billions of people calling your name.

My followers?

Your victims.

S2A Distant Star

[Captain Jack Maynard of the Cortez has just met Delenn]

CMCapt. Maynard

John! She's...Minbari?

Mm-hmm.

CMCapt. Maynard

Uh...but she doesn't look like one! I mean, she does, but...but she doesn't! I mean, what's the deal?

We're still trying to figure that out. There's the story she told us, but then, the Minbari never tell you the whole truth.

[Dr. Franklin watches Ivanova as she storms off with his recovery-enhancing "food plan".]

Figures. All my life, I've fought against imperialism. Now, suddenly, I am the expanding Russian frontier.

But with very nice borders.

I'll tell you one thing. If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea! Hell, I always thought the opposable thumb was overrated!

An old friend of mine once quoted me a [sic]...ancient Egyptian blessing: God be between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.

I wish I had your...faith in the universe. I just don't see it sometimes.

Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective.

[Garibaldi is cooking bagna cauda for himself and Dr. Franklin.]

Trust me, Doc, you are gonna love this!

I can feel my arteries hardening just being in the same room with it!

S2The Long Dark

[A wild, unkempt Lurker assails G'Kar with a confused sermon.]

I have walked in the valley of th--

Good! Keep on walking.

[after waking up in the brig] Oh, God. What did I do this time?

You don't remember?

Well, I've found that life is, in general, much easier if I forget most of the things that happen to me.

You were about to accuse the Centauri ambassador of being in league with the devil...which may not be far from the truth.

[Garibaldi and Sheridan consider the dessicated body from a failed cryogenic tube.]

Lousy way to die, huh?

Hmm. Last time I checked, there weren't too many good ways.

[Newly unfrozen traveller Mariah Cirrus meets G'Kar.]

Take my advice and go back to the time you came from. The future isn't what it used to be.

ACAlien Council member

Evil sometimes wears a pleasant face.

[in the brig, Amis has a nightmare]

Incoming! Incoming! Incoming! INCOMING!

How long has he been like that?

GGuard

Couple hours now.

To the walls. Get to the walls!

GGuard

Damn Lurkers. We oughta space all of them.

Hanson?

Oh God. Stop them. Incoming.

Were you in the war?

GGuard

No, I missed it.

He didn't.

GGuard

How do you know?

[in a sad, manner-of-fact tone] I've had that same dream.
