(edit)
Ivanova breaking a leg was inserted when Claudia Christian broke a leg when out chasing a bird in her back yard.

Londo: Now, if I may ask, does this torment end when you leave, or am I going to have to spend the rest of my life paying for one little mistake?
Elric: Oh, I'm afraid you have to spend the rest of your life paying for your mistakes. Not this one of course, it's trivial, I have withdrawn the spell, but there will be others.
Londo: What are you talking about?
Elric: You are touched by darkness, Ambassador. I see it as a blemish that will grow with time. I could warn you of course, but you would not listen. I could kill you, but someone would take your place. So I do the only thing I can, I go. (edit) Elric: There is a storm coming up, black and terrible storm. (edit) Vir: Londo, they are going away. Money doesn't matter to them. Power doesn't matter to them.
Londo: Money and power always matter. (edit) Sheridan: The Universe doesn't give you any points for doing things that are easy. (edit) Londo: What you are asking could be considered treason.
Lord Refa: Or the first step in restoring our people to their rightful place in the galaxy. Depending on who writes the history books. I think it will be us. (edit)

Continuity: The Drazi use Ivanova's comlink to bait their trap, but we'll later find out in "Exogenesis" in Season 3 that they're keyed to the user and no one else can use them.
(edit)
Techno-Mage: Do not try the patience of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
In Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Gildor Says "Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." Almost a direct quote. (edit)
