ISN Anchor Desk - Season 2

Points of Departure

Sheridan - "General, with all due respect, the last time I made ‘personal contact’ with a Minbari warship, I sent it straight to hell."
Hague - "That’s why I want you in that part of space, Captain."

Hague - "I need you to do one other job and this one comes straight from the President."

Susan Ivanova - "Status report, Lt. Commander Susan Ivanova reporting. It is now eight days since the death of Earth Alliance President Louis Santiago, and five days since Commander Sinclair was recalled to Earth without explanation. And the whole place has gone straight to hell."

Susan Ivanova - "And as far as I’m concerned, the transports can wait until the sun explodes! And if you’re not happy with the seating arrangement, I will personally order your seats to be moved outside, down the hall, across the station, and into the fusion reactor. Am I being absolutely, perfectly clear about this?"

Susan Ivanova, continued - "I can only conclude that I’m paying off Karma at a vastly accelerated rate. Security chief Michael Garibaldi remains in critical condition in MedLab. Dr. Franklin has done all that he can, but we still don’t know if he’ll recover. As for Ambassador Delenn, well, something is going on in her quarters, that’s for sure."

Hague - "Your Commanding officer, Commander Sinclair, will not be returning to Babylon 5. He’s being reassigned permanently."

Hedronn - "Prophecy will attend to itself, we told her. Now we are committed to the path."

Sheridan - "It’s amazing what two years on the Rim can do to you."

Susan, to Sheridan - "I hear they still call you Star Killer"

Kalain - "The Grey Council never tells anyone the whole truth, does it?"

Sheridan, to Kalain - "Why are you here?"

Lennier - "It is our belief that every generation of Minbari is reborn in each following generation."

Alyt - "All that remains now is honor and death."

Susan - "I learned a long time ago that there’s enough guilt in the world without grabbing for more."

Revelations

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

Londo - "Why don’t you eliminate the entire Narn homeworld while you’re at it?"
Morden - "One thing at a time, Ambassador."

G’Kar - "Weep for the future, Na’Toth. Weep for us all."

Garibaldi - "What’s up, Doc?"

Garibaldi’s Assassin - "Be seeing you."

Sheridan - "Good-bye. I love you, Anna."

Geometry of Shadows

Purple Drazi - "Green"
Green Drazi - "Purple!"

Elric - "You don’t frighten easily."
Vir - "I work for Ambassador Mollari. After awhile, nothing bothers you."

Elric - "There is an old saying. Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger."

Elric - "Captain, do you believe there is such a thing as magick?"

Susan - "Just my luck. I get stuck with a race that speaks only in macros."

Computer, to Londo - "Congratulations. You are now the owner of 500,000 shares of Fireflies, Inc."

Drazi Ambassador - "Rules of combat older than contact with other races. Do not mention aliens. Rules change ... caught up in ... committee. Not come through yet."

Londo, to Elric - "I apologize!"

Elric, to Londo - "You are touched by Darkness, Ambassador. I see it as a blemish that will grow in time. I’d warn you, of course, but you would not listen. I’d kill you, but someone would take your place. So, I do the only thing I can. I go."

Elric, to Londo - "As I look at you, Ambassador Mollari, I see a great hand, reaching out of the stars. The hand is your hand. And I hear sounds, the sounds of billions of people calling your name."
Londo - "My followers?"
Elric - "Your victims."

A Distant Star

Delenn - "Understanding is not required. Only obedience."

Susan - "Suddenly I am the expanding Russian frontier."
Franklin - "But with very nice borders."

Sheridan - "And I’ll tell you one thing: If the primates that we came from hand known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they would have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea."

Susan - "No ship that’s been lost in HyperSpace has ever been found again."
Sheridan - "I know."

Delenn - "We are starstuff. We are the universe, made manifest, trying to figure itself out."

Susan - "That reminds me. Where’s Garibaldi?"

Sheridan - "Ever have a long talk with Ambassador Delenn, Commander?"
Susan - "From time to time, why?"
Sheridan - "She and the universe seem to have a ... special understanding."
Susan - "Don’t we all?"
Sheridan - "Starstuff-."

The Long Dark

Amis - "I’ve found that life is in general much easier if I forget most of the things that happen to me."

G’Kar - "The future isn’t what it used to be."

Spider in the Web

Sheridan - "I trust in individuals, not organizations."
Susan - "Then you may trust Miss Winters."

Abil - "Free Mars!"

Garibaldi, to Talia - "Tea just happens to be my third favorite thing in the universe."

Susan - "Tell him to go away. Tell them all to go away."

Soul Mates

Garibaldi - "You know him?"
Talia - "Only in the most unpleasant sense. I was married to him."

Timov - "I won’t bite, Vir."
Vir - "With all due respect, Ma’am, that’s not what I’ve heard."
Timov - "All right, that one time."
Vir - "Twice."
Timov - "All right ..."

Delenn, to Susan - "I trust you"

Timov, to Daggair - "A bitch like you would know about breeding!"

Garibaldi - "Garibaldi, head of security."
Matt Stoner - "So, if I’m feeling insecure, hugging you would make me feel better?"

Lennier - "Is that painful?"
Delenn - "Actually, it’s oddly relaxing."

Londo - "You haven’t changed."
Timov - "You have. You’ve devolved."

Londo - "A deck of cards from my dear friend Lennier."
Lennier - "And I marked them exactly as you requested."

Franklin - "Londo, do you know where you are?"
Londo - "Either in MedLab or in Hell. Either way the decor needs work."

Franklin - "Stick it."
Londo - "How odd. And I didn’t even know we were married."

G’Kar - "If I were married to Londo Mollari, I’d be concerned."
Mariel - "G’Kar, if you were married to Londo Mollari, we’d all be concerned."

Londo, to Timov - "Because with you, I will always know where I stand."

Delenn, to Susan - "Do you have any idea why I suddenly started getting these odd cramps?"

A Race Through Dark Places

Franklin - "You sure you know what you’re doing?"
Sheridan - "Absolutely."

Sheridan - "One day they’re shooting at you, the next they’re taking you out to dinner. What a universe."

Bester - "Why else would they try to kill me?"
Susan - "Is this a multiple-choice question?"

Susan - "I like the idea of Earth Central paying rent to itself. There’s a certain ... symmetry ... to it."

Susan, to Talia, re: Psi Corps pin - "No. You don’t offend me. But that does."

Coming of the Shadows

Londo - "I understand. By this time tomorrow, we will be at war with the Narn."

G’Kar - "I had no idea."
Franklin - "Maybe that’s the biggest tragedy of the whole damned story."

G’Kar - "Sit. It’s not every day I have a revelation!"

G’Kar, to Londo - "To the health of your Emperor!"

Ranger - "I have a message"

Emperor - "I would, very much, like to have seen a Vorlon."

Emperor - "How will this end?"
Kosh - "In fire"

Londo - "We are both damned."
Lord Refa - "It’s a small price to pay for immortality."

Garibaldi - "Aside from me, does anyone else know you’re here?"
Ranger - "Just one other."

Sinclair, to Delenn - "Hello, old friend."

Sinclair’s message to Garibaldi - "Hello, old friend. It’s been awhile. I'm entrusting this message to an associate of mine who has sworn to bring it to you at any cost, including his own life. My job on the Minbari Homeworld is more than just representing Earth. The President doesn’t know about that part yet and I don’t think it would be wise for you to tell him. There is a great darkness coming, Michael. Some of the Minbari have been waiting for it for a long time. The bearer of this message is one of my Rangers. Some are Minbari, most are Human. They’ve been drawn here, to learn to work together and prepare for the fight ahead. Their job, for now, is to patrol the frontier. To listen, to watch, and return with reports too sensitive to entrust to regular channels. They are my eyes and ears. Where you see them, you see me. In the name of our friendship, I ask that you give them every courtesy and cooperation. I wish I could tell you more, that I could warn you. But the others don’t think it’s time yet. Stay close to the Vorlon and watch out for Shadows. They move when you’re not looking at them."

GROPOS

Kliest - "What are you?"
Delenn - "I am a Minbari."

Dodger - "Nice butt"

Dr Franklin - "It’s always later with you, isn’t it?"
Gen. Franklin - "You are dismissed, Doctor!"
Dr Franklin - "Yes, sir!"

Gen. Franklin to Dr Franklin - "In the meantime, please, call your mother and sisters!"

All Alone in the Night

Delenn - "Have I mentioned recently how much I appreciate you, Lennier?"
Lennier - "Not really, but it will give us something to discuss on our trip."

Hedronn - "From this day forth, you are no longer a member of the Grey Council, no longer Satai. I’m sorry, Delenn."
Delenn - "Wait. What about my appointment on Babylon 5? My position as Ambassador was separate from my role as Satai."
Hedronn - "We are still debating this."

Sheridan - "Why are you doing this? Why are you torturing me?"

Hague - "On the theory that we need added fire power, I placed a few calls of my own."

Susan - "What do you mean ‘yes’??? It’s me."

Susan - "Oh my God! They’ve spaced the captives. Killed them. Those arrogant sons of ... Take them down!"

Kosh, to Sheridan - "You have always been here."

Hague - "We’re going to take back our government."

All Alone in the Night - The Dream

Raven Garibaldi - "The man in-between is searching for you."

Death Susan - "You are the hand."

Sheridan - "Why are you here?"

Kosh - "We were never away. For the first time, your mind was quiet enough to hear me."

Sheridan - "Why am I here?"
Kosh - "You have always been here."

Acts of Sacrifice

G’Kar - "Hatred kept us alive."

G’Kar - "Do you want me to beg, Delenn?"

Londo - "Six months ago, they were hardly aware of me. Now, suddenly, everyone is my friend. They all want something. I wanted respect, instead I have turned into a wishing well with legs."

Londo, to Bartender - "That was my good friend, Mr. Garibaldi. Good to have friends, is it not?"

Narn, about G’Kar - "He’s spent so much time with the Humans he even talks like them."

Susan - "Thank you, but this is not ... ah, nuts!"

Delenn - "I do not have the same resources I once had, Captain."

Franklin, to Susan - "You could put a bag over his head and do it for Babylon 5. Maybe not."
Susan - "I’m doomed."

Susan - "That’s it!"
Franklin " I’ll get a needle"

Susan - "Boom shakalakalaka. Boom shakalakalaka."

Correlilmurzon - "What do I do now?"
Susan - "Old style? Roll over and go to sleep. New style, you go out for pizza and I never see you again."
Correlilmurzon - "Perhaps I’ll call you before I go."

Correlilmurzon - "Next time, my way."
Sheridan - "Commander, is there something you’d like to tell me?"

Londo - "It is good to have friends, is it not, Mr. Garibaldi? Even if maybe only for a little while."

Hunter, Prey

Sheridan - "Am I ready?"
Kosh - "No. You do not even understand yourself."
Sheridan - "Could you help me to understand you?"
Kosh - "Can you help me to understand you?"
Sheridan - "Well, I can try. Is that what you want, an exchange of information? I tell you something about me, and you tell me something about you?"
Kosh - "No. You do not understand. Go."
Sheridan - "Dammit, what do you want? What do you want from me?"

Sheridan - "What do you want?"
Kosh - "Never ask that question."
Sheridan - "At least I got a response out of you."
Kosh - "I will teach you."
Sheridan - "About yourself?"
Kosh - "About you. Until you are ready."
Sheridan - "For what?"
Kosh - "To fight legends."

Sheridan - "It’s what we’ve always suspected, but could never prove. The Vorlons use organic technology."

Jacobs - "The ship ... it sang to me."

There All the Honor Lies

Susan - "We’re not some deep space franchise. This station is about something!"

Minbari - "Death first!"

Sheridan, to Garibaldi - "You do have a suspicious mind. I like that."

Susan - "Never fear answers. Only fear running out of questions."

Kosh - "The lesson."

Kosh - "What is this place?"
Sheridan - "Pretty much the worst part of down-below."

Sheridan - "What’s inside there?"
Kosh - "One moment of perfect beauty."

Susan - "Another lesson? What this time?"
Sheridan - "Beauty. In the Dark."
Susan - "Must be working. You’re beginning to talk just like a Vorlon."

Londo - "Captain! Commander! Can we talk?"

Ashan - "You would believe the humans over one of your own?"
Lennier - "Yes."
Ashan - "Why?"
Lennier - "Because SHE does."
Ashan - "Delenn? She is nothing!"

Sheridan - "You don’t lie, the Minbari don’t lie, nobody around here --"
Londo - "Who said the Minbari don’t lie?"

Londo - "There is honor in helping another save face."

And Now For a Word

Advertisement - "Interplanetary Expeditions: exploring the past to create a better future."

Cynthia - "Now, Commander. I’m sure there’s more to your story than that."
Susan - "Yes."

Cynthia, to Camera - "Did we get that? Tell me we got it. Did we get it?"

G’Kar - "There are humans for whom the words ‘Never Again’ carry special meaning, as they do for us."

G’Kar - "We will never fall back, never surrender."

Johnny - "Mom, look! A Psi Cop!"

Mom - "My Johnny, a telepath?"

Advertisement - "The Psi Corps is your friend. Trust the Corps."

Sheridan - "The last thing the Centauri want is a war on two fronts."

Knives

Sheridan - "I’ve been attacked by aliens before, but never by dead ones."

Urza, to Londo - "Your Star is once again in ascendance."

Garibaldi, to Sheridan - "Does the term obsessive compulsive ring a bell?"

Londo - "You would fight me to the death, Urza?"

Vir - "This is insane!"
Londo - "Insanity is part of the times!"

Londo - "I have made many choices lately, Vir. And today, for the first time, I am not sure if those choices were right."

Vir - "On rare occasions, I am proud to be your attaché."

In the Shadow of Z’Ha’Dum

Morden, to Sheridan - "You’re playing a very dangerous game, captain. It could cost you ..."

Sheridan, to Morden - "You will not leave here until I know the truth."

Franklin, to Susan - "Do you believe in God, Susan?"
Susan - "I suppose."

Franklin - "The closer you get to defining God, the further away it gets."

Sheridan, to Morden - "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ICARUS???"

Talia - "Captain, you’re trying to use the letter of the law to defeat the spirit of the law."

Delenn - "Be warned. Once you know the secret, once you know what we have known for the past 3 years, you will never sleep well again. Come, Captain. The greatest nightmare of your time is waiting for you."

Delenn - "To all things, there is an end."

Delenn - "The Shadows were old when even the Ancients were young."

Delenn - "The First Ones went away, all but one."

Delenn - "Kosh would be recognized."
Sheridan - "Recognized? By whom?"
Kosh - "Everyone."

Sheridan - "Yes was the answer. What was the question?"
Delenn - "Have the Shadows returned to Z’Ha’Dum?"

Kosh - "Sheridan. Learn."

Sheridan - "Anna. The Icarus. They found something. They woke something up."

Delenn - "Morden is never alone!"

Zack - "I’m glad it’s a decision I don’t have to make. I don’t think I could live with myself. How many lives is a secret worth?"

Zack - "What did you see?"
Sheridan - "Nothing. Shadows."

Sheridan, to Garibaldi - "You were right and I was wrong."

Garibaldi, re: NightWatch armband - "What’s that?"
Zack - "I figured what the hell."

Sheridan - "I let him go. But there is a pricetag attached. You’ve been trying to help so we understand each other. That’s not what I want anymore. I want you to teach me how to fight them, how to beat them. Because sooner or later, I’m going to Z’Ha’Dum. And I’m going to stop them."
Kosh - "If you go to Z’Ha’Dum, you will die."
Sheridan - "Then I die. But I will not go down easily, and I will not go down alone. You will teach me?"
Kosh - "Yes."

Confessions and Lamentations

Delenn - "You were asleep."
Sheridan - "No. No. I was ... meditating."
Lennier - "The sound you were making was part of meditating?"

Sheridan - "If I let you into that isolation zone, I .. can’t let you out again."
Delenn - "I know."

Delenn - "If I don’t see you again here, I will see you in a little while in the place where no Shadows fall."

Sheridan - "Delenn, when I do see you again ... call me John."

Delenn, to Lennier - "Faith manages."

Lennier, to Delenn - "Faith manages."

Divided Loyalties

Garibaldi, to Sheridan - "After the scan, she was never quite the same."

Lyta - "I don’t wanna be alone with any of you!"

Lyta - "This place is important to a LOT of people. More important than you could possibly know. So, I had to come back."

Susan - "Does the phrase ‘No way in hell’ ring a bell?"

Susan - "Dammit, Talia! I don’t know who I can trust anymore."
Talia - "There’s only one person on this station that I can trust implicitly. You."

Lyta, to Delenn - "I need your help."

Delenn - "Are you in some kind of trouble?"
Lyta - "Ambassador, I think I’m in just about every kind of trouble there is."

Susan, to Sheridan - "I let myself in. You should change your lock code more often."

Susan, to Sheridan - "I’m a latent telepath."

Sheridan - "Garibaldi believes her."
Susan - "Garibaldi doesn’t believe anyone."
Sheridan - "Exactly."

Susan - "Some days, I don’t even know who I am anymore."

Dream Susan - "Do you know who I am?"

Garibaldi - "Boo! Gotchya!"
Sheridan - "Michael! If you ever do that again ..."

Sheridan - "Zack."
Zack - "Sir."
Sheridan - "Thank you for coming."
Zack - "Yes, Sir."
Sheridan - "That’ll be all."
Zack - "That’s it?"
Sheridan - "Yes."

Susan, to Lyta - "I suggest you move those eyes somewhere else, while you still have them."

Lyta - "She’s clean. I’m sorry."
Susan - "Go to hell."

Lyta - "My God, it’s her!"
Talia - "You bitch!"

Talia - "The Corps is Mother. The Corps is Father. You’re dead. Lyta Alexander. We’ll find out. The Corps will find you!"

Sheridan - "Sounds like an old-fashioned Mexican standoff to me."

Talia, to Susan - "The Talia you knew no longer exists."

Susan, to Talia - "You’re right. The Talia I knew is dead. Good-bye."

Lyta - "Kosh. I want to see you again, just one more time before I go."

The Long, Twilight Struggle

Draal, to Sheridan - "You don’t have any idea who I am, do you?"

Londo, to Refa - "My allies have begun to worry me."

Refa, to Londo - "Cheer up. By the time you return to Babylon 5, the war will be over."

Refa - "Come, Londo. Destiny awaits."

Sheridan - "Positive?"
Delenn - "Absofragginlutely, dammit!"

Delenn - "We’re here."
Draal - "Did you think I hadn’t noticed, my old friend? You’ve changed! I like it!"

Draal, to Sheridan - "In the long, twilight struggle which lies ahead of us, there is the possibility of hope."

Draal, to Delenn - "It’s time to introduce him to the others."

Draal - "Zathras! Zathras! Never around when he’s needed."

G’Kar - "Captain Sheridan, I’ve been instructed by my government to come and ask for ... sanctuary."

Londo - "I have an announcement to make."

G’Kar - "No dictator, no invade can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned that lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Thou it take a thousand years, we will be free."

G’Kar, to Sheridan - "The last time I offered someone my hand, we were at war 24 hours later."

Sheridan - "A line has been drawn against the Darkness, and we will hold that line, no matter the cost."

Comes the Inquisitor

Delenn - "Ambassador Kosh has doubts."
Sheridan - "About what?"
Lennier - "Doubt is the wrong word."

Delenn - "Ambassador Kosh is unsure about me."

Chase - "I thought the war was over."
G’Kar - "You were misinformed."

Sebastian - "I believe I am expected."

Sheridan - "When were you last on Earth?"
Sebastian - "Long ago."

Sebastian, to Sheridan - "I have told you all that I intend to."

Sebastian - "Who are you?"
Delenn - "Delenn."
Sebastian - "Unacceptable answer. Who are you?"

Vir, to G’Kar - "I’m sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I tried telling them, but they wouldn’t listen. They never listen. Sorry."
G’Kar - "Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. How do you apologize to them?"
Vir - "I can’t."
G’Kar - "Then I cannot forgive."

Sebastian - "Perhaps, the world is right and Delenn is wrong. Have you ever considered that? Have you?"
Delenn - "Yes. Sometimes."
Sebastian - "Then there may yet be hope."

Lennier, to Sheridan - "They Inquisitor! I think he’s killing her."

Sebastian - "And the final player in our little drama arrives at last."

Delenn - "Stop!"

Sebastian - "What is she to you?"
Delenn - "None of your concern."

Delenn - "If I fall, another will take my place. And another. And another."
Sebastian - "But your great cause?"
Delenn - "THIS is my cause! Life! One life or a billion, it’s all the same!"
Sebastian - "Then you make the sacrifice willingly?"
Delenn - "Yes."

Sebastian - "I have been in service of the Vorlons for centuries."

Sebastian - "When the Darkness comes, know this: You are the right people in the right place at the right time."

Sebastian - "Remembered only as Jack..."

The Fall of Night

Nakal - "We request sanctuary."

Susan - "My hands are clean. Are yours?"
Mr. Welles - "You really don’t understand."

Mr. Lance - "I’m here to sign a non-aggression treaty with the Centauri."

Susan - "Merry. Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Whatever."

Susan - "Company’s coming."

Delenn - "Kosh, you know what is at stake. If you are going to do anything, you must do it now."

Sheridan, to Angel - "Kosh?"

Londo, in blooper reel - "I tawt I taw a puddy cat."

The Fall of Night - Susan’s Speech
