Date stamp: July 3, 2260 (edit) Referring to the "bug" in Londo's room: Since he said the bug has eight legs, it probably is not a bug or an insect, but an "arachnid." "Insects," also called "hexapoda," have only six legs, while "arachnids" (spiders, scorpions, mites etc.) have eight legs. (edit) The title of this episode is a Latin pun. It translates to "thus passes man," but the last word can also refer to Vir Cotto who has a central role in this episode. (edit)

Sheridan [at dinner]: I hope that's the right kind of table. I don't do much entertaining here. I usually just grab a bite on my way in.
Delenn: It's fine; I didn't come for the decor.
Sheridan: Well, I hope you didn't come for the cuisine either, ... because unlike Mr. Garibaldi, I am not exactly a gourmet cook. But, what I lack in finesse, I make up in proportions! Barely eatable - but lots of it! (edit) Vir: If kisses could kill, that one would have flattened several small towns. (edit) Ivanova: And to tell you the truth ... I hate to say this, but ... I think I really enjoy being a sneak.
Sheridan: Then I hereby appoint you "The Official Babylon 5 Sneak In Residence."
Ivanova: Oh, thank you.
Sheridan: Now get the Hell out of my chair.
Ivanova: Yes, sir. (edit) Vir: Back home, nobody cares about dead Narns, only living ones. (edit) Ivanova: All I can say is that enthusiasm, sincerity, genuine compassion, and humor can carry you through any ... lack of ... prior experience with ... high numerical value.
Vir: Wow, I'm gonna remember that. Thank you, thank you. (edit) Ivanova: Mr. Cotto, you're late.
Vir: I'm sorry. I was otherwise engaged. Engaged and married, as it is. Not that I knew about it or anything..
Ivanova: You are not making sense.
Vir: I imagine I'm not, but that's the kind of day I'm having. (edit) Vir: When I marry, I want it to be for love.
Londo: Ah, a radical? (edit) Londo: And how are things at the royal court?
Vir: You know, collusion, politicking, scheming, innuendo, gossip, .... The same old thing.
Londo: Good, good, ... and your reports? I assume they went over well.
Vir: Yes, sir, very well, ...
Londo: Did you tell them I helped with our reports?
Vir: No, there was no need to, they noticed it right off. (edit) Delenn: Humans can be a very depressing people.
Sheridan: Only if we get turned down for dinner.
Delenn: Well, we can't have that, now can we? (edit) Sheridan: I would like to see you tonight.
Ivanova: Are you not seeing me now? I would think that you see me every time we meet; unless I have become translucent or ... insubstantial and nobody has stopped to inform me until now. (edit) Londo: Yes, you can help me. Two hours ago. Two hours ago I called you. I told you that there is ... a bug, an insect in my quarters.
Maintenance: Well, we've been a little busy.
Londo: Now, listen to me. I do not like insects. I do not like little brown things with eight legs. I do not like anything with eight legs. Well, except for the Vinzini, but only because they are terrible at cards. Something to do with compound eyes, I think. I want this thing dead! (edit) Centauri Minister: Oh, I heard a new joke. Hehahaahhh. What is more dangerous than a locked room full of angry Narns?
Vir: Heh, I don't know. What is more dangerous than a locked room full of angry Narns?
Centauri Minister: One angry Narn with a key. (edit) Centauri Minister: The Emperor has just finished reviewing your reports from Minbar. He asked me to convey his compliments on your hard work, even if some parts of it do read as if they were written by Ambassador Mollari.
Vir: He advised me on a few things.
Centauri Minister: I thought as much. Londo belongs to the old school. He thinks we must be protected from the truth. But these are perilous times. We must have accurate information about what other worlds are doing. You would do well to follow your own judgement in the future. (edit) Vir: There were other women, but I never got past one.
Ivanova: You mean first base.
Vir: No, no, I mean one. You see, we have six a ... we have six, you see, and each one is a different level of intimacy and pleasure. So, you know, first you have one, and that's naa-naa. Then there's two ... and by the time you get to five it's ...
Ivanova: All I can say is that enthusiasm, sincerity, genuine compassion, and humor can carry you through any ... lack of ... prior experience with ... high numerical value.
Vir: Wow, I'm gonna remember that. Thank you, thank you.
Ivanova [mouths as he leaves]: SIX! (edit) Londo: And how are things at the royal court?
Vir: You know, collusion, politicking, scheming, innuendo, gossip. The same old thing. (edit) Londo [referring to a small bug in his quarters]: I swear they are evolving right before my eyes. If you see something this big with eight legs comming your way, let me know. I have to kill it before it develops language skills. (edit)

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

When Vir says, "My only regret is that I could not have saved more," that is obviously a nod to Schindler's statement, "I could have saved one more." (edit)
