Quotes

add »
Sheridan: There's a spider in the web, Mr. Garibaldi. And I intend to find it .. and kill it (edit)
Sheridan: For the past six years there've been rumours about a rogue agency operating deep inside EarthGov. A dirty-trick-squad, dealing in black projects, and star-chamber justice. It took me three years just to get a name: Bureau 13. And the man who gave me that name died soon after. I'm convinced they exist and they are behind this incident. (edit)
Garibaldi: You hurt that lady, I'll see that it takes you ten days to die.
Abel Horn: I'm already dead, mister security-man. (edit)
Garibaldi: Captain, I sure would like to know where you are going with this?
Sheridan: Someplace very dark. I hope to God I'm wrong. (edit)
Sheridan: And you don't trust Psi Corps?
Ivanova: No. Do you?
Sheridan: Telepaths are gifted and cursed in ways I can never hope to understand. They are still human beings, good, bad, or indifferent. No. I trust in individuals, not organizations. (edit)
Talia Winters: Someone's been lying to you, Captain.
Sheridan: Or to you.
Talia Winters: I'm a telepath.
Sheridan: Telepaths are human beings. (edit)
Senator Voudreau: Practicalities are more important than principles if lives are to be saved. (edit)
Sheridan: Hah! It's good to be the Captain. (edit)
Ivanova: Well, you know how I feel about telepaths.
Sheridan: Do I ever. You threw one out of a third story window on Io.
Ivanova: There was an ample pool below the window.
Shridan: I will assume you knew that.
(edit)

Trivia

Directly after the scene where Abel Horn self destructs there is a transition scene of the station. In this scene a ship can be seen leaving the docking bay. As the shot pans slightly you can see that the inside of the docking bay has not been rendered correctly, and the background stars are visible instead. (edit)
Trivia: According to the Earthforce Intelligence file Abel Horn died in 2258. Offical Cause : Destroyed in outer atmosphere combat skirmish a-6 as a result of plasma burst from Earthforce Star Cruiser: Pournelle. Death was recorded by Phobos Outpost 20. (edit)
