Sheridan: Any hope of neutrality that Babylon 5 had until now just went up in smoke. (edit) Regent: It's going to be a pretty night, the last one I will ever see.
Londo: You shouldn't talk that way, Regent. You still have many years ahead of you. That's why it's important to recall the ships. We can still make peace.
Regent: Oh, there will be peace, for a while. It never lasts, really. They said so. They said two things, actually. That there will be peace and that it won't last. They also said I would be dead by morning and that tomorrow... you will be emperor. They said many, many things. Things I didn't want to hear. Things I didn't understand. And things I didn't want to understand.
Londo: They? Who are they, Regent?
Regent: Oh, you will find out for yourself soon enough, Londo. You shouldn't rush your last free hours. And there were something else they told me ... to do. And I did it just a few moments before I came to see you. The last thing I will ever have to do for them. And in a way ... I'm glad it's over.
Londo: What did they ask you to do?
Regent: To send away all the ships ... guarding Centauri Prime on a false emergency and turn off the planetary defense network.
Londo: No!
Regent: I think I'll stay... and watch from here. The sky should be lighting up any time now. I imagine ... it will be ... quite beautiful.
Londo: No! (edit) Lyta: This is leftover Shadow technology, Mr. President. Vorlons gave me information on them in case I ever ran across one of them. And I understand a few years ago one was found by the Psi Corps. It's an organic device used to control a ship from a long distance. You put two or three of these on board a starship and ... you don't even need a crew. (edit) Sheridan: What do you mean there weren't any crew aboard?
Franklin: Garibaldi said that there were two seperate Centauri fleets engaged in the war: one defensive, one offensive, that no one in the Centauri military knew anything about the attacks, only that they were defending themselves against us. Now we know why. (edit) Regent: Hello, Mollari.
Londo: Regent?
Regent: I told you we would speak again before the end. I always try to keep my promises, especially to those who have been kind to me .. as you have been.
Londo: It is no burden. Regent, I have been trying to see you for some time. Our ships ...
Regent: Yes. ... I know.
Londo: Then you gave the order.
Regent: After a fashion. I have always tried to do the right thing, you know, when circumstances allowed.
Londo: We all do, Regent.
Regent: Yes. And now it is your time. Mine is almost over. I have to say, I'll be glad of it. I'm so tired of it all, Londo. I'm glad ... I won't live to see what follows.
Londo: Why? What is going to follow? (edit)
