Babylon 5

Malcolm : We want to put Earth back at the center of the universe, our universe, get rid of alien influences, get rid of aliens, put Earth first. We must get back to our roots. Let humans be humans.

Sinclair : And we won. Not because we outfought them, not because we were luckier than them or stronger than them or smarter than them. We won because the damn Minbari let us win.

[ To Shaal Mayan ] Londo : I would expect such logic from a poet. What can a Minbari know about Centauri feeling?

[ After he is accused of provoking riot ] G'Kar : So much for Babylon 5's highly vaunted justice.

Londo: (To Vir) Love? Pah. Overrated. Here, look, these are my three wives: Pestilence, Famine and Death. Do you think I married them for their personalities? Their personalities could shatter entire planets! Arranged marriages, every one, but they worked out. They inspired me. Knowing that they were waiting at home for me is what keeps me here - 75 lights years away."

Kosh: We take no interest in the affairs of others.

Londo: (After being given over two Centauris who ran from home) What am I supposed to do with them? Sinclair: You're always saying the Centauri are an advanced race. You figure it out.

Delenn: (About aliens being attacked) There was a time, Mr. Garibaldi, when one could walk through Green sector without need of escort. Sinclair: I assure you, we're doing everything we can to correct that, Ambassador. Delenn: Then you are required to do better, Commander. Much better.

Ivanova: You're a vicious man. Garibaldi: I'm Head of Security. It's in the job description.

Londo: (about his wives) These are my three wives: Pestilence, Famine, and Death. Do you think I married them for their personalities? Their personalities could shatter entire planets! Arranged marriages every one, but they worked out, they inspired me. Knowing that they were waiting at home for me is what keeps me here - 75 light years away.

Ivanova: The Vorlons are very secretive. They don't want anyone to know what they look like, what they breathe or how their biology works. I mean, who knows how much that suit is really necessary and how much is just camouflage to keep us from seeing what's inside.

Londo: Love? What does love have to do with marriage?

Sinclair: Meanwhile it might be helpful if you spoke with the other ambassadors. Kosh: We take no interest in the affairs of others. Sinclair: Well I hope you'll reconsider. If you could give us a hand, we... Kosh: Yes? Sinclair: Nothing. We'll respect your wishes ... [Sinclair pauses and looks at Kosh's viewer with images of Earth history] Sinclair: That's quite a viewer. I've never seen anything like it before. What is it? Kosh: Efficient. Sinclair: Those are images from my world. If I may ask, what are you... Kosh: I am studying. Sinclair: Studying what? [No response]

Vir: Kiron may die because our "glorious" tradition values wealth and power over love. Londo: My shoes are too tight. Vir: Excuse me? Londo: Something my father said. He was old, very old at the time. I went into his room, and he was sitting alone in the dark, crying. So I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "My shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter, because I have forgotten how to dance." I never understood what that meant until now. My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance.
