[Looks at a meatball]
Na'Kal : Breen
[takes a bite]
Na'Kal : You've managed to import Breen from Homeworld. How?
G'Kar : It, eh, isn't actually Breen.
Na'Kal : The smell, the taste?
G'Kar : It's an Earth food. They are called "Swedish Meatballs." It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has a version of these Swedish Meatballs. I suspect it is one of those great universal mysteries which will either never be explained or it would drive you mad if you ever learn the truth. (edit) Lennier : It's not moving. (edit)

Credit Error : Patricia Tallman's first name was misspelled as "Patrica" in the opening credits in both the U.S.A. and U.K. first run of this episode. (edit)
