Quotes

add »
Bester: I am here to save your butts. Next time show a little gratitude.
Franklin [Hinting on their last conversation about wounding Bester] : On the other hand, maybe wounding him isn't such a bad idea after all. (edit)
Bester: We learned some interesting things about Ms. Winters in the course of her debriefing and dissect ... [ pause ] ... that is, examination. (edit)
Kosh [as G'Lan]: You have the opportunity here, and now to choose to become something greater and nobler and more different than you have been before. The Universe does not offer such chances often, G'Kar.
G'Kar: Why now? Why not earlier? All this time where have you been?
Kosh [as G'Lan]: I have always been here. (edit)
Ivanova: Everyone clear the command deck now! I have to run a maintenance routine. It will take about ten minutes. Get some tea or something. (edit)
Ivanova: What am I supposed to do?
Sheridan: Fight them without becoming them. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Judy Levitt, the actress who plays the PSI Cop in the next to last scene, is the real-life wife of actor Walter Koenig, who plays PSI Cop Alfred Bester. (edit)
In his first scene with the command staff, Bester starts to say that Talia Winters was "dissected," on her return to Earth. Whether he was telling the truth or merely trying to provoke strong emotion in the staff is not clear. (edit)

Dust to Dust
"Fine example"
One of the gems of the third B5 season. In an episode that focuses primarily on the mysterious and illegal drug, "Dust", and links to telepathy, this episode also teams Bester with Garibaldi, and provides 2 of my favorite exchanges between the two.
