[Sheridan asks his staff if they want in on the conspiracy.]
Wherever this goes, however it ends, we're with you.
S2All Alone in the Night
S2Acts of Sacrifice
I was there when our war against Earth began, when our ship encountered an Earth vessel for the first time. Afraid of us, of the unknown, they fired. I saw our leader dying. I heard the cries for revenge, for blood, for death. In return we nearly exterminated an entire species. My people are tired of war, G'Kar!
[Dr. Franklin takes exception to the Lumati's disdain for medical treatment of the infirm.]
CTCorrelilmerzon [through Taq]
It does not serve evolution.
Well, my job isn't serving evolution -- it's serving humanity, even when the patient isn't human.
CTCorrelilmerzon [through Taq]
Yes, but what happens when the inferior, saved from the process of natural selection, begin to outnumber the superior?
You know, I think we should all be moving on by now...
I don't believe that any form of sentient life is inferior to any other.
CTCorrelilmerzon [through Taq]
Yes. We often hear that argument from inferior species and their sympathizers.
[Sheridan asks Delenn for help in providing covert assistance to Narn civilians without the approval of EarthGov.]
...Ambassador, I've learned the hard way that governments deal in matters of convenience, not conscience. If they fall behind, it is up to the rest of us to make up the difference. If we don't, who will?
[Ambassador Correlilmerzon insists on sex to cement the Earth-Lumati alliance. Ivanova does a bizarre song and dance which she claims is human-style sex.]
SISusan Ivanova
Boom! Shabba-labba-labba.
Boom! Shabba-labba-labba.
Hey there, hey there, three bags full!
You come here often? Yes! I do!
. . .
I slept with you the other night.
You didn't call, you didn't write!
I think you did it just for SPITE!
Oh! Yes... oh, yes! Oh, YES! OH! YES!
Tell me about your portfolio!
Oh, YES! YES! YES! YES!
Lie to me about your family...
. . .
[She finishes with a shriek and a compliment.]
CCorrelilmerzon
What do I do now?
Old style, you roll over and go to bed. New style, you go out for pizza, I never see you again.
[Ivanova gets a parting gift and note from Correlilmerzon.]
What's it say?
"Next time...my way."
Commander, is there something you'd like to tell me?
S2Hunter, Prey
[During the search for Dr. Jacobs in Down Below, Franklin and Garibaldi muse about disappointed expectations.]
Maybe somebody should've labelled the future "some assembly required".
Are we just toys to you? Huh? What do you want?
KKosh
Never ask that question!
At least I got a response out of you. So what'll it be, Ambassador?
KKosh
I will teach you.
About yourself?
KKosh
About you. Until you are ready.
For what?
KKosh
To fight legends.
S2There All the Honor Lies
[Ivanova rants about EarthGov's decision to sell B5 merchandise.]
Welcome to Babylon 5, the last, best hope for a quick buck!
Commander--
Oh, this is demeaning! I mean, we're not some...some deep-space franchise! This station is about something. [N]
[Lawyer Guinevere Corey interrupts the questioning of Minbari witness Ashan.]
GCGuinevere Corey
May I ask what you were discussing here?
The only thing that matters--the truth.
GCGuinevere Corey
Ah, yes. The favorite song of the legally ignorant.
[Londo sputters outrage over a B5 Emporium "Londo Mollari" doll.]
It's a mockery! It doesn't even have any, uh...attributes.
Attributes?
Do I have to spell it out for you?
[Londo gestures downward. Ivanova and Sheridan stare at Londo, then at each other.]
SISheridan, Ivanova
Ohh!
I see. So you feel like you're being symbolically cast--in a bad light.
Well put.
I– I never thought there could be anything worse than being all alone in the night.
But there is. Being all alone in a crowd.
. . .
In the service of their clan, they're ready to sacrifice everything–their individuality, their blood, their life.
Their honor? Oh, we've had plenty of that ourselves. Conspiracies of silence, because the larger ideals have to be protected. But you can't have larger ideals if the smaller ones get compromised. It's like building a house without a foundation, Delenn--it can't stand!
AAshan
We are not responsible. It was the leaders of our clan who decided to act without asking the Council or anyone else in the government–not us. Yes, it was foolish--
No, not foolish. It was tragic.
[Londo goads a hung-over Vir.]
Good, Vir--you're sobering up! I can see the synapses beginning to fire behind your eyes! A frightening sight, I might add.
