Notes

add »
Jason Carter (Marcus Cole) does not appear in this episode. (edit)
Stephen Furst (Vir Cotto) does not appear in this episode. (edit)
Lennier tells the obnoxious man he suffers from Netter's Syndrome. A reference to Douglas Netter, executive producer of the show. The obnoxious man was played by the Director of Photography John C. Flinn III. (edit)
That's not Bill Mumy lying in bed when Lennier was injured. They made a dummy with a head caste. The only time it's really him is when he woke up. (edit)

Quotes

add »
G'Kar: [sings] Not many fishes are left in the sea. Not many fishes... just Londo and me. (edit)
Londo: Kill me, now, kill me!
G'Kar: You forget the terms of our surrender. The penalty for the killing of any Centauri, by any Narn, will be the death of five hundred Narns, including perpetrators own family!!! But I don't have to kill you. [laughs] I don't have to do anything, and I still get to watch you die. I find this most appealing. (edit)
Franklin: [to Lennier in a coma] How many Centauri does it take to screw in a light bulb? Just one - but in the great old days....
Lennier: [wakes up] ... in the great old days of the republic, hundreds of servants would live to change a thousand light bulbs at a slightest whim. (edit)
Zack: Ok, so here's how this-- what are you doing?
Drazi: Droshala visitation means station blessed. Everything here blessed. You also blessed. We touch to share your blessing.
Zack: Ah, Don't poke me, I don't like it. I don't want to share my blessing! Okay... You see that plant over there? Now, that was in the garden when your people saw this Drabawa--
Drazi: Droshala!!
Zack: Right. Anyway, it was real close, so it's gotta be more blessed than me. So here. Why don't you go poke the plant for a while, while I take care of your entry visas, okay? (edit)
Londo: I am afraid that if I try go back and figure it out, then I will start bleeding from my ears. (edit)
Delenn: I have spoken with Ambassador Mollari a while ago, he is most greatful of what you did. The Centaurum probably want to give you a medal for this.
Lenier: I should have stayed in a coma. (edit)
Londo: There, you see! I'm going to live.
G'Kar: So it would seem. Well, it's an imperfect universe.
Londo: Bastard.
G'Kar: Monster.
Londo: Fanatic.
G'Kar: Murderer.
Londo: You are insane!
G'Kar: And that is why we'll win.
Londo: Go be the ambassador to Babylon 5 they say. Will be an easy assignment. Ah, I hate my life.
G'Kar: So do I.
Londo: Shut up! (edit)
Lennier: I did what I did because all life is sacred. But when the object of your actions does not share that belief.. I fear I have served the present by sacrificing the future. (edit)
Delenn: How do you feel?
Lennier: As though great many heavy objects had fallen on me. But I suspect I will live. (edit)
Robert J. Carlson: No. It didn't. It's not fair. It's not fair!
Sheridan: What can I say? Life's tough sometimes. (edit)
Robert J. Carlson: It's nothing personal, Captain. It's just the times. (edit)
Robert J. Carlson: These are chaotic times, Captain. I'm simply an instrument of my time. People need to understand fear. Do you understand fear? Do you? (edit)
Robert J. Carlson: As long as the trigger keeps transmitting, no boom. (edit)
Garibaldi: Now look, we play this one by the book. [Lights go out]
Sheridan: Somebody just rewrote to book. (edit)
G'Kar: Not many fishes left in the sea. Not many fishes, just Londo and me. Not many fishes left in the sea. Not many fishes, just Londo and me. (edit)
Londo: We're in here! Can anyone hear us?
G'Kar: I hear you. [giggle]
Londo: In here!
G'Kar: We are here. [giggle and laugh] (edit)
Londo: This is insane! We must work together!
G'Kar: No. As the humans say: Up yours, guy! (edit)
Londo: I heard a joke today. I probably shouldn't repeat it, but .. who are you going to tell? How many Centauri does it take to .. ahem screw in a lightbulb? .. Just one, but in the great old days of the Republic hundreds of servants would change a thousand lightbulbs at our slightest whim. (edit)
Brother Theo: God goes by many names, perhaps some alien sounding, different faces, and history, but all describing the same Creator. We've come here to learn all those names, in hopes of better understanding the One who's behind them. (edit)
[Sheridan unbuttons his jacket, and starts putting his link inside his shirt]
Garibaldi: Not there. That's the first place he'll look.
Sheridan: Well! Where do you suggest I put it?
[Garibaldi gives him a look] (edit)

Trivia

add »
Revealing Mistakes: In the PAL video release of the episode "Convictions", when Brother Theo shows Garibaldi the security video footage of Robert Carlson, all the screens are blank where shots of Carlson should have been. The R2/R4 DVD contains the correct shots. (edit)
