"Soul Hunter"

"Always this busy around here?"
"Yes. We like it that way."

	-- Dr. Franklin and LtCmdr. Ivanova in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"If I can't make it, you'll have to blow up that ship before it hits."
"Why not destroy it now?"
"First contact protocol, Lieutenant Commander. Only when conditions present a clear and present danger. If this is a new technology, a new race, I want that ship intact."
"This isn't a clear and present danger? I must read the rulebook again."

	-- Sinclair and Ivanova in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"Send it away, while you still can."

	-- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"No. I have been to your world. Can you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"Low. Quick. Muffled. Terrified. It comes. It comes. It comes."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 and Franklin in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"Quick flash. The deep blue of pain."
"Dull. Muffled. Slower now. Closer now. Over your shoulder. It comes. The transition. A shadow. The long exhalation of the spirit. Can you see it, healer? Can you see it?"
"Gone. Gone now. Gone. Gone. Gone. If you could only see. If you could only see."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"We are not thieves. We are preservers."
"I thought that might get your attention."
"We act only for the greater good."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 and Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"Minbari: pale, bloodless. Look in their eyes and see nothing but mirrors, infinities of reflection. Will not let us help them, no."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"Minbari: jealous, selfish, private. We have saved only a few. Very rare. Rarest of all: their leader, Dukhat, dying. Your fault. Your war. The pinnacle of Minbari evolution. We came. I, others. They made a wall of bodies to stop us. He died .. and his dreams, his ideas .. all that he was, all that he could ever be .. gone, wasted. Jealous. Gone. Gone."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"It's all so brief, isn't it? Typical human lifespan is almost a hundred years, but it's barely a second compared to what's out there. It wouldn't be so bad if life didn't take so long to figure out. Seems you just start to get it right and then .. it's over."
"Doesn't matter. If we lived two hundred years, we'd still be human. We'd still make the same mistakes."
"You're a pessimist."
"I'm Russian, Doctor. We understand these things."

	-- Dr. Franklin and LtCmdr. Ivanova in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"And what will you do then?"
"Free them, release them."
"You mean kill them."
"They will join with the souls of all our people. Melt one into another until they are born into the next generation of Minbari. Remove those souls and the whole suffers. We are diminished. Each generation becomes less than the one before."
"A great lie. A pretty fantasy. The soul ends with death, unless react to preserve it. We will help you .. in spite of yourselves. I know you. You were there at the death of your leader Dukhat."
"We stopped you from taking what you had no right to take."
"You stopped me from saving him. That is where it began to go wrong. The lost souls. One after another after another. Voices still. I failed because you stopped me."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"I remember. They called you Satai Delenn of the Grey Council. Curious. Curious. What is one of the great leaders of the Minbari doing here playing ambassador?"

	-- Soul Hunter #1 to Delenn in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"I hate it when you get heroic. It cuts into my business. A man's gotta earn a living, you know?"

	-- Garibaldi to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"You would plan such a thing? You would do such a thing? Incredible."

	-- Soul Hunter #1 to Delenn in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"Why do you fight for her? Don't you understand? She is Satai. She is Satai. I've seen her soul. They're using you. They're using you!"

	-- Soul Hunter #1 to Sinclair about Delenn in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"We were right .. about you."

	-- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"It can wait. There's always time"

	-- Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"

"If I may ask, what happened to my brother's collection?"
"Life's full of mysteries. Consider this one of them."

	-- Soul Hunter #2 and Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Soul Hunter"
