Quotes

add »
Sheridan: We're taking back Proxima 3. We're taking back Mars. And then... we're going to take back our home. Or die trying (edit)
Captain Hall: Are you questioning my orders, Commander?!
Commander Levitt: No, I am relieving you of command! (pause)
Remove Captain Hall from the bridge!
(no one reacts.)
Commander Levitt: NOW!
(crew takes Captain Hall away) (edit)
Marcus: It looks as if we won.
Sheridan: No, we achieved the mission objective. It is not a victory. Too many on both sides had to die for it. (edit)
Poster: Earth's Last Best Hope (edit)
Londo: Before war broke out between our governments, you bought me a drink. I wish to return the favor. For the first time in a hundred years, we have something in common beyond hatred. I find that most extraordinary, and so a drink to the humans, and to the bridge that they created between us in the hope for a better future for both our worlds. (edit)
Londo: Because, while I do not know who the enemy is any longer, I do know who my friends are, and that I have not done as well by them as I should. I hope to change that. I hope to do better. (edit)
Londo: You may not believe this, G'Kar, but all I ever wanted is what is right for my world. I'm a patriot, as you are. I have made some .. very poor choices in the last two years. Because I did not think, those choices almost destroyed my world, and yours. That is a humbling realization, G'Kar. If with a single wrong word I can become the enemy, do I any longer really understand who the enemy is? (edit)
Londo: When I saw you in that cell, beaten, chained .. As I said, we have never been friends, we will never be friends. There is too much blood between us, too much history. But I did feel for you, as much as I did not want to. In the beginning, it was little more than sympathy one might feel for any trapped animal. But in time .. I came to respect you.
G'Kar: Your respect matters to me even less than your thanks.
Londo: You are not going to give me even an inch, are you? (edit)
G'Kar: I have no interest in your thanks.
Londo: I did not think that you would, but it is there anyway... As I said, a hard year. (edit)
Londo: How is the eye?
G'Kar: It sees. (edit)
Londo: Hello, G'Kar. I don't believe I have ever been in your quarters before. Unless you count a cell on Centauri Prime.
G'Kar: I apologize for the lack of chains. The cleaning service must have removed them."
Londo: It has much the same feeling as your world: dry, .. red, .. and depressing. (edit)
Corwin: So from now on I guess the operational phrase is 'Trust no one.'
Ivanova: No. Trust Ivanova, trust yourself, anybody else: shoot them. (edit)
Vir: I didn't do it! I didn't do it! Thank the Great Maker it was just a dream. (edit)
Sheridan: We'll hit them in waves. Try to isolate the ships we need to destroy from the ones who won't fight unless they have to. Then we'll give them a chance to surrender or join up.
Ivanova: And if they don't?
Sheridan: We take them out. Hey, I don't like the idea any more than you do, but either we commit ourselves to this completely or we don't do it. Once we pull the first trigger we can't hesitate to pull the next one, because they sure won't. Now, once we're in, we're in: no surrender, no retreat. (edit)
Sheridan: Captain's personal log, September 2nd, 2261. Enough is enough. (edit)
Sheridan: The hostiles might be splitting up so they can be with both groups to keep them in line.
Marcus: Unless they're all hostile and some are just more hostile than others.
Sheridan: Well thank you for that ray of sunshine, Marcus. Next time I feel the need to be depressed I'll remember to give you a call. (edit)
