Londo, "Lyta Alexander, as I live and breathe ..." Lyta, "I suggest you remove your hand, ambassador, or you won't be doing either for very long."

Draal, "I don't like surprises."
Ivanova, "Really!? I love them myself. To me everything is a surprise. Your a surprise. This place is a surprise. You see this, a paper cut. It hurts like hell. Anyone else would be upset, but to me it's just one more wonderful surprise. I mean I even surprise myself sometimes. So I guess there is nothing wrong with me surprising you."

Garibaldi, "If they were normal, they wouldn't be in Down Below."
Marcus, "Well, thank you, Mr. Garibaldi, one of the leading minds of the fourteenth century. Have we no workhouses? Have we no prisons? Mr. Marley here would like a word with you, he's the fellow in the chains! Ignore the moans, it's just gas."
Garibaldi, "Don't you ever shut up?"
Marcus, "Not until I get what I want. Why, do you think silent meditation would work better?"
Garibaldi, "Ivanova's right. You are a pain in the ass."

Dr. Franklin, "Marcus, You are so far from being her (refering to Ivanova) type, that your practically in different galaxies. Ok?"

Here's my mom and dad. There don't actually have anything to do with it. It's a very good picture of them, don't you think?"
Ivanova, "Marcus."
Marcus, "I actually think I have come up with a way to explain the organization structure of Babylon 5 using the Ottoman empire as a model. It gets a little confusing around this bit here, but one has to start somewhere."

Point of No Return

Londo, "Vir, Intelligence has nothing to do with politics."

Sheridan, "Always plant a lie inside the truth. It makes it easier to swallow."

Londo, "One of you will become emperor after the other dies. Nonsense.
Vir, "of course", They both laugh, "I've made some dinner."
Londo, "I'm not hungry"
Vir, "You're not saying that you don't trust me anymore are you Londo. I made your favorite, Spoo."
Londo, "I'll order in." Lady Morella, "You have a chance few others will every have Mollari. You still have 3 opportunities to avoid the fire that waits for you at the end of your journey. You have already wasted two others. You must save the eye that does not see. You must not kill the one who is already dead and at the last, you must surrender yourself to your greatest fear, knowing that it will destroy you. Now if you have failed all the others, that is final chance for redemption."
Londo, "I, um, don't understand."
Lady Morella,"The future reveals itself only reluctantly ambassador. Take the sign for what it is. Look for it when it appears."
Londo, "I will. Thank you."
Lady Morella, "One more thing. You will be emperor. That part of your destiny can not be avoided."
Londo, "I see."
Lady Morella, (to Vir), "You will also be emperor."
Vir, Laughs.
Lady Morella, "Why are you laughing?"
Vir, "I thought you were joking."
Lady Morella, "We do not joke in the face of prophecy."
Londo, "Lady Morella please. We can not both be emperor."
Lady Morella, "Correct. One of you will become emperor after the other is dead. It is all we see and all we wish to see."

Sheridan, "It's funny, I... I wish Delenn were here."

Severed Dreams

Delenn, "I served council for 16 cycles. I was the chosen of Dukhat to replace him. I held him when he died. His blood on my hands, his spirit in my eyes, his word on my lips. You will step aside in his name and mine or in Valen name, I will tear this place apart with my bare hands until I find them."

Delenn, "The council has lost it's way. If it will not lead. If we have abandoned our covenant with Valen, then the council shall be broken, as was prophesied! We must stand with the others now, before it is to late! Between the worker caste and the religious caste, we control two thirds of our forces. To you, I say, listen to the voice of your conscience. Break the council and come with me. Our time of isolation is over. We move now, together, or not at all!"

Sheridan, "May I have your attention please. In the last few hours, we have learned that war ships are coming this way from earth. There orders are to seize command of Babylon 5 by force. As commanding office and military governor of Babylon 5, I can not allow this to happen. President Clark has violated the earth alliance constitution, by dissolving the senate, declaring martial law and personally ordering the bombing of civilian targets on the Mars colony. He is personally responsible for the death of hundreds of people. Following these attacks, Orion 7 and Proxima 3 have broken away from the alliance and declared independence. Babylon 5 now joins with them. As of this moment Babylon 5 is seceding from the Earth alliance. We will remain an independent state until President Clark is removed from office. At the end of the current crisis, any who wish to leave for earth are free to do so. Mean while for your own safety, I urge everyone to stay in your quarters until this is over. That is all."

Delenn, "This is ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw! Or be destroyed."
Unnamed Earthforce captain, "Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship."
Delenn, "Why not? Only one human captain has every survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me, you are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"

Ceremonies of Light & Dark

Marcus, "You see. It's like I always say, you can get more with a kind word and a 2 by 4, then you can with just a kind word."

Delenn, "Yes. You have lost much, endured much, sacrificed greatly, but you cling to the memory of your sacrifices of all the things you have lost or left behind. They drag behind you like chains of your own making. They can have a terrible power over you Marcus. The power of grief, and lost, and regret. Yes, you have let go of the people, the places, the things, but you have not let go of the pain. You have not forgiven yourself."
Marcus, "For what?"
Delenn, "Being alive."

Garibaldi, "Computer?"
Sparky, "Hey, what are you looking at?"
Garibaldi, "Run diagnostics."
Sparky, "What you got a broken arm or something? I've got a station to run here."
Ivanova, "Computer"
Sparky, "Fine, I'll do a diagnostic. So maybe level 42 doesn't get it's quota of oxygen for today."

Marcus, "Well They said I was carrying around a lot of repressed anger.
Lennier, "and?"
Marcus, "I'm not repressed anymore."

Sic Transit Vir

Londo, "If you see something this big with eight legs coming your way. Let me know, I have to kill it before it develops language skills.

Ivanova, "Your late."
Vir, "I am sorry. I was otherwise engaged. Engaged and married as it is. Not that I knew about it."
Ivanova"Your not making sense."
Vir, "I imagine I'm not, but that's the kind of day I'm having."

Sheridan, "I'd like to see you tonight."
Delenn, laughs, "Are you not seeing me now? I would think you would see me every time we meet. Unless I have become translucent or insubstantial and no one has thought to inform me until now."

A Late Delivery from Avalon

Dr. Franklin, "You know I was noticing that pin you wear. All the other Rangers wear one just like it, but I don't know what it means."
Marcus, "The two figures on either side, one human, the other mimbari. They blend together in the middle to signify the two halves of our souls uniting against the common enemy."
Dr. Franklin, "This jewel?"
Marcus, "The mimbari call that Isil'zha, means the future, birth, beginning, dawn of a new age."

Dr. Franklin, "What else did they teach you?"
Marcus, "Delight. Respect. Compassion. That for you actions to be pure they must proceed from direction, determination, patience, and strength. I am afraid, I am still working on patience. They taught me how to live, how to breathe, how to fight, and how to die."

Marcus, "And they taught me terror. How to use it and how to face it."
Franklin, "I think I would like to hear more about that."
Marcus, "No you wouldn't."

Marcus, "Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair and all the terrible things that happen to us, come because actually deserve them? So now I take comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the Universe."
