We've all been through six kinds of hell in the last few years.
S4Endgame
[Sheridan's telepath gambit has disabled General Lefcourt's ship, along with the rest of the loyalist fleet.]
GLGeneral Lefcourt
Engineering, this is General Lefcourt. In case you didn't notice, the enemy just pulled our shorts up over our head and tied them into a knot. You will get the ship under control ASAP, or I will come down there and skin the hide off every last one of you.
[Sheridan's liberation fleet finally confronts Earth itself.]
This is Captain John Sheridan. We are here on the authority of a multi-planetary force, that can no longer stand by and watch one of their greatest allies falling into darkness and despair. We are here on behalf of the thousands of civilians murdered under orders from the current administration, who have no one else to speak for them, and on behalf of the EarthForce units that have joined us to oppose the tyranny that has darkened Earth, ever since President Santiago was assassinated three years ago. We are here to place President Clark under arrest, to disband Nightwatch, and return our government to the hands of her people. We know that many in the government have wanted to act, but have been intimidated by threats of retaliation against your families, your friends. You are not alone anymore. We call upon you to rise up and do what's right! We have drawn their forces away from Earth and disabled them. The time to act is now! This is not the voice of treason. These are your sons, your daughters, whose loyalties have never wavered, whose beliefs in this alliance has [sic] forced us to take extraordinary means! For justice, for peace, for the future...we have come home!
[over radio] We need you, Delenn.
[commanding the League's fleet] We are there.
[as he's giving up his life energy to save Ivanova] I love you...
S4Rising Star
[Franklin comforts Ivanova in her grief over Marcus's sacrifice.]
All love is unrequited, Stephen. All of it.
EPEarth President Susanna Luchenko
Well, Captain, you caused quite a stir. Half of EarthForce wants to give you a kiss on the cheek and the Medal of Honor. The other half wants you taken out and shot. As a politician you learn how to compromise. Which by all right means I should give you the Medal of Honor, then have you shot. I confess the idea had a certain appeal when I mentioned it to the Joint Chiefs two hours ago. [...] The bitch of it is that you probably did the right thing. But you did it in the wrong way, in the inconvenient way. Now you have to pay the penalty for that. I know it stinks, but that's the way it is.
I find it amazing that you think that threats still mean anything to me. 'Do this or you're a dead man.' Death! Been there, done that.
[Londo and G'Kar watch the ISN report on the new Interstellar Alliance.]
So, how does it feel to make history, hmm?
You do not make history. You can only hope to survive it.
It was the end of the Earth year 2261, and it was the dawn of a new age...for all of us. It was end of one chapter, and the beginning of another. The next twenty years would see great changes, great joy, and great sorrow. The Telepath War, and the Drakh War. The new Alliance would waver, and crack...but in the end, it would hold. Because what is built endures, and what is loved endures...and Babylon 5...Babylon 5 endures.
[after the reveal that the new Interstellar Alliance has selected him as their first President]
Funny thing about retiring. You no sooner pick out the places you want to go on vacation then someone comes at you with another job offer.
S4The Deconstruction of Falling Stars
[Londo and G'Kar's arrive on Babylon 5 during a celebration.]
So Doctor...who died?
[confused] What are you talking about?
Among my people this is how we celebrate state funerals. Our marriage ceremonies are solemn, sober. Moments of reflection...also regret, disagreement, argument and mutual recrimination. Once you know it can't get any worse you can sit back and enjoy the marriage. But to start with something like this? No, it is a very bad sign for the future.
[Franklin and Garabaldi walk off.]
Perhaps it is something I said?
Perhaps it is everything you say.
[500 years later, during a holographic simulation]
What we are isn't a matter of flesh, it's a matter of will.
[1000 years later, in a future primitive Earth, Brother Alwyn advises the doubting Brother Michael.]
BABrother Alwyn
Faith sustains us in the hour when reason tells us that we cannot continue, that the whole of our lives is without meaning.
BMBrother Michael
Then why were we born able to reason, if reason's useless?
BABrother Alwyn
Not useless. But it's also not enough. Faith and reason are the shoes on your feet! You can travel further with both than you can with just one.
[The man from 1 million years hence prepares to leave the doomed Earth to the imminent Solar nova.]
EExeter
This is how the world ends, swallowed in fire, but not in darkness. You will live on. The voice of all our ancestors, the voice of our fathers and our mothers to the last generation. We created the world we think you would've wished for us. And now we leave the cradle for the last time.[N]
