Season 2 Quotes

"Points of Departure "

Ivanova, "Status report, Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanova reporting. It is now 8 days since the death of Earth Alliance president Louis Santiago, and 5 days since Commander Sinclair was recalled to Earth without explanation, and the whole place has gone straight to hell... And as far as I'm concerned the transports can wait until the SUN EXPLODES! And if you're not happy with the seating arrangements I will personally order your seats to be moved outside, down the hall, across the station and into the fusion reactor. Am I absolutely, perfectly clear on this? 'I can only conclude that I am paying off karma at a vastly accelerated rate. Security chief Michael Garibaldi remains in critical condition in Medlab, Dr Franklin's done all he can, but we still don't know if he'll recover. As for ambassador Delenn, well something's going on in her quarters that's for sure"

Hedronn, "So, she's done it hasn't she. She's in there. We told her to wait. Prophecy will attend to itself we told her. Now we are committed to the path. I have spoken with the other members of the council. The Tragati has been seen in this sector. If it should appear you must go to the Humans and tell them what we've told you. It's time they knew the truth."

Sheridan, "It was an early earth president, Abraham Lincoln, who best described our situation. 'The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the occasion. We cannot escape history. We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honour or dishonour, to the last generation. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, or last best hope of Earth."

Delenn, "They fight bravely. They can not harm our ships, but they continue to try..."

"Revelations "

Garibaldi, "While I'm worrying about that, roll this one around in your head. Shooting a senior officer is an act of treason and mutiny. The penalty is spacing. They put you in an airlock, seal it and open the space door. You spend the next five minutes chewing vacuum until your lungs turn inside out, your eyeballs freeze and your heart explodes. It's the worst kind of death you can imagine and when that day comes, I'll be there to push the button."

Lennier "Ambassador Delenn remains indisposed."
Londo "Indisposed! She's in a cocoon!"
Lennier "Yes?"

"The Geometry of Shadows"

Ivanova, "As you all know, we're having a bit of a problem here right now. The aforementioned problem being that you keep trying to beat each other senseless with blunt instruments, banging up against the bulk head, pounding, mugging, jumping and generally carrying on cranky. And while some of the other species wouldn't mind if you wiped each other out, even they would prefer that you did so quietly."

Elrick, "We are dreamers, shapers, singers and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ and we know many things... There is a storm coming, a black and terrible storm. We would not have our knowledge lost or used to ill purpose. From this place we will launch ourselves into the stars. With luck you will never see our kind again in your lifetime. I know you have your orders Captain. Detain us if you wish, but I can only ask you to trust us."

Elric "You don't frighten easily"
Vir Cotto "I work for Ambassador Mollari. After a while nothing bothers you."

Franklin"You will have to wear a cast. And it's gonna hurt."
Ivanova"Swell. Ouch."
Franklin"I can give you something for the pain."
Ivanova"Oh, great, *now* you can give me something for the pain. Where were you when I was going through puberty?"

"A Distant Star"

Delenn, "The universe puts us in places where we can learn. They are never easy places, but they are right. Wherever you are is the right place, at the right time. Pain sometimes comes. It is part of the proccess of constantly being born... 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 is born in the stars themselves. We are starstuff, we are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. As we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective."

Ivanova, "I'll gain weight!"
Franklin, "Well, briefly, yes."
Ivanova, "Figures. All my life I've fought against imperialism. Now, suddenly I *am* the expanding Russian frontier."
Franklin, "But with very nice borders."

Sheridan(to Zeta Squadron), "An old friend of mine once quoted me an ancient Egyptian blessing: 'God be between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.'"

"The Long Dark"

No really good quotes! Sorry!

"Spider In the Web"

Sheridan, "Some people collect art or coins, I collects secrets, black projects, secret organisations, and conspiracies, they fascinate me... For the past six years, there have been rumours about a...rogue agency operating deep inside Earth gov. A dirty tricks squad dealing in black projects and Star Chamber justice. It took me over three years just to get the name: Bureau 13. And the man who gave me that name died soon after. Now I am convinced that they exist and that they are behind this incident... There is a spider in the web, Mr. Garibaldi, and I intend to find it... and kill it."

Ivanova, "Well, you know how I feel about telepaths."
Sheridan, "Do I ever. You threw one out of a third story window on Io."
Ivanova, "There was an ample pool below the window."
Sheridan, "Alas, I assume you knew that."

"Soul Mates"

Delenn, "Do you have any idea why I started getting these... odd cramps?"
