For how long?" Ruell - "Well, I believe the request stated that his return would be permanent." Londo - "Do you know what this is, hmm? No, I can see you do not.

Londo - "Here, take my shoe. It will be as useful to you as he is."

Dr. Franklin - "Might as well stay here and see what happens." Dream Vir - "Prophecy is a guess that comes true. When it doesn't, it's a metaphor. You could put a gun to your head tomorrow, and the dream is just a dream. And the prophecy is just a metaphor. And so are you." Dr. Franklin - "He's going into shock. This could be it!" Dream G'Kar - "Now, Mollari. Now we end this."

Delenn - "Hello, Mack, Bo."

Lyta - "Bloodhound units."
Lochley - "A very long time ago, Sheridan and I were married, for all of about 3 months." Lochley, to Garibaldi - "It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust you."

Secrets of the Soul *Zack - "You don't understand."Lyta - "No, I understand, Zack. I understand plenty. You and the others needed my help during the Shadow War and I did that. I put my life on the line and what did I get? You were going to boot me into smaller quarters because I couldn't afford anything better? The only way I got out of that was to rejoin the Psi Corps, and you don't even want to know the deal I had to make to pull that one off." Zack - "Lyta -" Lyta - "I'm not finished. After all that, you had the never to ask me to risk my life a second time during the Civil War back home, and stupid me, I did it. And what did I get out of that? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I got no life, no hope, no prospects. Now along comes Byron, and for the first time in a long while, I feel like someone actually cares about what happens to me." Zack - "I care what happens to you, Lyta." Lyta - "Yeah, well.. maybe that's true. Talk is cheap, Zack. Byron is putting his life on the line to create something for his people. And I'm one of them. He's given us back a sense of dignity, and community. I'm proud of that, and I'm proud of him. If you can't handle that, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Byron - "There's much more to you than meets the eye."
Lyta - "Byron, the Vorlons ... changed me. More than you could possibly know, and I don't know what it'll do once you get past my barriers and I get past yours. I could burn you." Shadow-Lyta - "I can feel them!"

Garibaldi - "I thought you were dead." Lochley - "Zoe? Oh my God, Zoe!" Morden - "Looking back, on it, though, I think I just tried to make people happy."
Morden - "Delenn does not love you as you love her, and she never will." Morden - "I'm surprised he's not here tonight, since he died at Z'Ha'Dum. Is there any coffee here or not?"
Morden - "You will betray the Anla'Shok."
Lennier - "You have shown me that there is life beyond death."
Computer - "Pass Code requested." Zoe - "Lizzy, I do remember my dead. I didn't want to hurt you, but yeah I did it on purpose."
Lochley - "I have a message for you. It's from someone named Kosh." Londo - "If Vir can be Emperor, a small Earth cat can be Emperor." Rebo, to Zooty - "For you, fifty thousand years of Human evolution was something that happened to other people, wasn't it?"

Londo - "Do I look like a chef to you?" G'Kar - "She was my aide, Mollari. And my friend."
G'Kar - "Order her release at once!" G'Kar - "One way or another, we will leave here with Na'Toth. Or, by G'Quan, I swear I will see this palace in flames and I will see you burning with it!" Londo - "For my next trick, I shall fly around the room under my own power." G'Kar - "It's animal magnetism. What can I say?"
Centauri Female - "What would you like to do now, Prime Minister?"
Na'Toth - "Have you come to kill me, Mollari?"

Phoenix RisingBester - "It's over, Byron."Sheridan - "There's only one thing more dangerous than Mr. Garibaldi when he's loud. It's when he's dead silent." Bester - "How stupid do you think I am, anyway?" Bester - "People like talking to me. I guess I just have that kind of face."
Lochley - "And if Garibaldi is killed?" Lyta - "I love you, Byron." Byron, to Lyta - "I need you to be strong for me one last time. Go. Don't look back." Lyta - "Remember Byron." ISN Male Anchor - "In other breaking news, ISN has just learned that the main headquarters for the Psi Corps was bombed early this morning by unknown parties.

Zack - "Don't you ever go away? Haven't you caused enough trouble for one lifetime?" Zack - "I never let the facts get in the way of a good grudge." Bartender - "I seen a naked Pak'ma'ra once.

Bester - "Be seeing you, Doctor."
Meditations on the AbyssMan - "You broke my finger!"Delenn - "True. But you have nine others. For the moment." Lennier - "Delenn, during the Day of the Dead, Morden appeared to me. And he said ... he told me that I would one day betray the Rangers." Londo, to Vir - "Are we stocking up supplies for the end of the universe?" Londo - "It's politics, Vir. Never take it personally." Londo - "Yes, Vir, I have decided that when I am gone, the new Ambassador to Babylon 5 will be you." Lennier - "It is not necessary to know. It is only necessary to try."

Delenn - "How long?" Entil'Zha Sheridan, to Delenn - "I just want to sit here and watch the sun come up. It occurred to me that in all my time here, I've never done that. I want to know what it looks like when it comes up over the horizon, so I can carry a picture of it in my head." Sheridan - "It was ... twenty years ago that I died on Z'Ha'Dum. Lorien said that he could extend my life twenty years, but no more. I'm almost out of time, Delenn."
Assistant - "General, you're an important person."
Guard - "You didn't even read what the note says."
Dr. Franklin - "Is that what I think it is?" Susan - "I've buried so many friends, Delenn. I'm beginning to resent it. And I don't want to. It seems like some days, there's no one left to play with. No joy anymore."

Zack - "Where ya headed?"
Lorien - "Who are you? What do you want? Why are you here? Where are you going?" Entil'Zha Susan Ivanova - "An expedition to Coriana space found Sheridan's ship a few days later, but they never found him. All the airlocks were sealed, but there was no trace of him inside. Some of the Minbari believe he'll come back someday, but I never saw him again in my lifetime." Susan - "Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon Stations. There would never be another. It changed the future, and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future, or others will do it for us. It showed us that we have to care for one another, because if we don't, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely places. Mostly though, I think it gave us hope that there can always be new beginnings, even for people like us. As for Delenn, every morning for as long as she lived, Delenn got up before dawn, and watched the sun come up."
