In the bar, G'Kar hands a man an engine part. This engine part is really the overthruster prop from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. (edit)

Lorien: Do you have anything worth living for?
Delenn: Sleep now. I will watch and catch you if you should fall.
Sheridan: Delenn! (edit) Lorien: It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for?
Sheridan: I can't see you anymore.
Lorien: As it should be.
Sheridan: What if I fall? How will I know you'll catch me?
Lorien: I caught you before.
Sheridan: What if I die?
Lorien: I can not create life, but I can breathe on the remaining embers.. It may not work.
Sheridan: But I can hope.
Lorien: Hope is all we have. (edit) Lorien: You must let go. Surrender yourself to death, the death of flesh, the death of fear. Step into the abyss, and let go. (edit) Lorien: You can't turn away from death simply because you're afraid of what might happen without you. That's not enough! You're not embracing life. You're fleeing death. And so you're caught in between, unable to go forward or backward. Your friends need what you can be when you are no longer afraid, when you know who you are and why you are and what you want, when you are no longer looking for reasons to live, but can simply be. (edit) Sheridan: Kosh.
Lorien: Is that its name? I think I met it once long ago. (edit) Sheridan: That was you?
Lorien: Perhaps. We all have secrets and surprises. Did you know you have a Vorlon inside you? Well, a piece of one. (edit) Sheridan: How long have you been here?
Lorien: A long time. So long. I was old when the molecules of your world joined and called themselves land and sea and fish ... and man.
Sheridan: One of the First Ones.
Lorien: No. Not one of the First Ones. I am .... the First One. (edit) Lorien: Yes, of course I care. It's a terrible thing when your children fight. I warned the others, but they didn't listen. They never listen. (edit) Sheridan: This is the fire I set when I woke up down here. I've come full circle.
Lorien: Don't we all? (edit) G'Kar: You didn't ask the price ... for my cooperation.
Londo: You are not exactly in a position to bargain, G'Kar.
G'Kar: Neither are you. You want my help ... for the sake of your people. I will give it ... for the sake of my own. If I remove the monster from your throne, you will remove the monster .. from my world. Leave Narn, set my world free. Promise me this, and I will do as you ask.
Londo: You have my word. (edit) Londo: There is a monster on the throne, G'Kar, a well-protected monster. He must be removed, and you may be the means I have been waiting for. (edit) Cartagia: And you. Have you anything to say?
G'Kar: Do you by any chance happen to know where Mr. Garibaldi might be? (edit) Delenn: As a dear friend said to me: 'If you are falling off a mountain, you may as well try to fly.' Here, at the end, I offer you one final chance to fly. (edit) G'Kar: I am the last of the Kha'ri. I fought in our war of liberation against the Centauri. I can take care of myself. If you stay, I will be deeply offended, and there is little more inherently dangerous than an offended Narn. (edit) Sheridan [from Sheridan's log]: The job now is to turn this around and make it into something positive. My dad always told me that's the only way you deal with pain; you don't surrender, you don't fight it, you turn it into something positive. He used to say, "If you are falling off a cliff, you may as well try to fly. You've got nothing to lose." (edit) Marcus: Wakey, wakey, I'm here with your weather report for the evening. I see rain, lightning, thunder, and your head nailed to that wall over there if you don't tell me what my friend and I need to know. (edit) Marcus: They seem rather eager to find you. Eagerness like that--
G'Kar: --worries you. Hell, I suppose I should appreciate your concern. Compassion is a rare commodity these days.
Marcus: So, why are you doing this?
G'Kar: He's my friend. I've never had a friend before who wasn't a Narn. And you?
Marcus: I never had a friend before who was a Narn, .. and damn few of any other kind. Most of them are dead. (edit) G'Kar: I was doing fine until you showed up with that .. thing in hand.
Marcus: It's a Minbari fighting pike, several hundred years old. You are just jealous because you don't have one. Bad case of pikal envy, if you ask me. (edit) G'Kar: Doesn't make sense.
Marcus: You're right, that's the bit that worries me.
G'Kar: If you are going to be worried every time the universe doesn't make sense, you are going to be worried every moment of every day for the rest of your natural life.
Marcus: Your point being? (edit) Delenn: I've sometimes heard the humans say: 'Minbari never tell anyone the whole truth.' But I'm no longer wholly Minbari and should've changed my heart more than I did. But I loved him and I wanted to protect him. I should've loved him less and trusted him more. (edit) Bartender: The man says he doesn't want to talk to you. Leave him alone.
G'Kar: We're having a private conversation. It's no concern of yours.
Bartender: It's my bar, I'm making it my concern. Now get out.
G'Kar: I've come a long way. I intend to finish my conversation. (edit) Lorien: You're closer now, aren't you. Yes, I see you are. But closer to tick or closer to tock? I don't know. Only time will tell. And here, between the moments, we have all the time in the world. (edit) Lorien: Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Always running out of time. Yours is almost used up. You're between seconds, lost in the infinite possibilities between tick and tock. Tick, you're alive. Tock.. Well, it was a good life, but a short one. Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick-- (edit) Lorien: There are only two possibilities. If you hit bottom, then you are dead. If you did not hit bottom, you are still falling and all of this is a dream. Unless .. you are in-between.
Sheridan: Between what?
Lorien: Between moments. (edit) Lorien: Nothing goes on forever. Not falls, not you, not I, not love, not life. Entropy consumes everything. We all hit bottom, sooner or later. (edit) Sheridan: What question?
Lorien: 'Who are you?'
Sheridan: How did you know about it?
Lorien: 'It's a dangerous question, isn't it? There's never a good answer to it. I suppose, that's the point. (edit) Lorien: Words have meaning and names have power. The universe begun with a word, you know. But which came first: the word or the thought behind the word? You can't create language without thought .. and you can't conceive a thought without language. So which created the other and, thus, created the universe? (edit) Lorien: I see you're still upset that I won't tell you my name. Well, what does it matter? If I tell you my name is Lorien .. what good is that? It tells you nothing, but leaves me at a disadvantage. (edit) Lorien: You are thinking about escape again, aren't you? Don't. There is no way off Z'ha'dum. Might as well give up, reconcile yourself as I did.
Sheridan: The first obligation of a prisoner is to escape.
Lorien: Ah. So .. if one is a prisoner of love, one must escape to solitude? If one is a prisoner to joy, must one escape to sadness? (edit) Franklin: Medlab's quiet these days. The League of non-aligned worlds has broken up and everyone's going back to their homeworlds to prepare for the next stage of war. We know the enemy is gonna strike back. Rumour has it that this time's gonna be the last time. This time they're gonna end it. All we can do now is wait for the other shoe to drop or try and find something useful to do before the end. Right now, short of hand holding, or sympathetic ear, I can't think of one damn thing. (edit)

In a close up of Mira Furlan (Delenn) while she's watching Sheridan's personal log, you can see some of the make up has rubbed off and her eyebrow is showing. (edit) Continuity: In the original broadcast of this episode Franklin gives the date as January 8 in his opening monologue and says that it has been fourteen days since Sheridan was presumed killed. This in incorrect. It was nine days since he was presumed killed. This error was correct in later broadcasts. (edit)
