"Chrysalis"
"Our patrols are necessary for Narn planetary security."
"Keep this up, G'Kar and soon you won't have a planet to protect."
-- G'Kar and Londo in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"You've gotta stop them. They're gonna kill him. They're gonna kill him."
-- Petrov to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Must've been something really big to make him come all this way hurting
like that. The last thing he said was: 'They're going to kill him.'"
"Kill who?"
"I don't know. But I'm gonna find out."
-- Garibaldi and Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"--after which the president and his escort left the Mars colony on a good
will tour of the outer planet colonies. Sources close to the president have
hinted that he'll give a major policy speech new year's day from the jump
point on Io. The speech is likely to concern human-alien relations over the
remainder of his five year term."
-- ISN in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"So, now with the new year coming I've been going over it in my head,
and-- Look, do you want to get married or don't you?"
"Yes."
-- Sinclair and Sakai in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Vir, how many gods are there in our pantheon? I've lost count
since the last emperor was elevated to godhood.
"48. No, no, 49, 50 if you count Zuug but, you know, I never thought
you should--"
"All right, let's say 50."
"50."
"Now out of that 50, how many gods do you think I must have offended to
have ended up with G'Kar's teeth buried so deeply in my throat that I
can barely breathe?"
"All of them?"
"Sounds right. And now I have to go back to the Council and explain to
them that in the interest of peace the Centauri government will agree
to give quadrant 37 to the Narns. I think I will stick my head in the
station's fusion reactor. It would be quicker. And I suspect, after a
while I might even come to enjoy it. But this .. this, this, this is
like being nibbled to death by .. what are those Earth creatures
called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet .. go 'quack'?"
"Cats."
"Cats. I'm being nibbled to death by cats."
-- Londo and Vir in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Did you see ambassador Kosh?"
"I did."
"Did you relay my question precisely, word for word."
"I did."
"His reaction?"
"Just one word. He said: 'Yes.'"
-- Delenn and Lennier in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Mr. Morden. You never gave me a chance to thank you after you rescued
the Eye from those triple-damn raiders."
"Unnecessary, I'm here to be of service, Ambassador. My associates believe
that you are a person of great potential."
-- Londo and Morden in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what
you see is all that you'll ever be. Then you accept it .. or you kill
yourself. Or you stop looking into mirrors. No, nothing can be changed."
-- Londo to Morden in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"And you don't want credit for this grand endeavour?"
"No. We're simply here to help. Good day, Ambassador."
-- Londo and Morden in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Yes. Thank you. Now I will keep the promise.
Goodbye. You will not see me again .. as I am now."
-- Delenn to Kosh in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Big mistake, hot-shot. You shouldn't poke around in things you
don't understand. This is too big for you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm shaking in my boots."
-- Devereaux and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Is there something wrong with your hearing?"
"No, just for a moment I thought I had entered an alternate universe
or such. Ambassador, are you sure you are feeling all right?"
"Vir. I'm quite sober."
-- Londo and Vir in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"I'm afraid the Ambassador is resting. He is rather fatigued from his
heavy schedule. Perhaps if you came back-- .. I believe the Ambassador
can see you now."
-- Na'Toth to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"In order to be free you had to learn to fight. No one questions that.
But you've overcompensated. You are like abused children who have grown
big enough to do the same thing to someone else as if it would somehow
balance the scales. It won't. If you let the anger cloud your judgement,
it will destroy you."
-- Sinclair to G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Just that I've had this feeling lately. That we are standing at a
crossroads, and I don't like where we're going. But there's still time
to choose another path. You can be part of that process, G'Kar. Choose
wisely. Not just for the Centauri but for the good of your own people
as well."
"We'll all do what we have to do."
-- Sinclair and G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"So, what's the occasion?"
"Who says there has to be an occasion to invite you to join us for dinner?"
"I didn't get to be a head of security for my good looks."
-- Garibaldi and Sakai in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"What's the frequency on that transmitter?"
"Can't make it out."
"Here, let me see that. 1010105? That's the Gold channel frequency for
Earth Force One. Why would someone want to jam president's.. Oh my god!"
-- Garibaldi and Jack in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Come to my quarters and I'll tell you as much as I can. ..
But don't wait too long, Commander. Some things have been
set in motion. And I do not have much time."
-- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Ten thousand of our best warriors dead. As if some great hand reached out
of space and .. just erased them."
"It wasn't the Humans. The Centauri don't have the will. And the Vorlons
don't care. The Minbari wouldn't do it. The other worlds aren't powerful
enough for a strike like this. .. There's someone else out there, Na'Toth."
-- Na'Toth and G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Are you sure there's no other way?"
"What must happen will happen. Valen said this day would come.
Who are we to stand in the way of prophecy?"
"But.. What if you are wrong?"
"Then speak well of me when I'm gone."
-- Lennier and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"All I'm getting is a recorded message from the tachion
relay station from Proxima."
-- Ivanova to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Ambassador. You wanted to see me."
"Yes. What have you done?"
"Only what you asked me to do. You had a problem with quadrant 37,
we took care of it for you."
"Yes, but you killed ten thousand Narns!"
"I didn't know you cared. Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million,
what's the difference? They are Narns, Ambassador, your sworn enemy."
-- Morden and Londo in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"And so it begins. You have forgotten something."
-- Kosh to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Lennier?"
"You are too late."
"What is it?"
"A chrysalis. She is .. changing."
"Into what?"
"I don't know."
-- Sinclair and Lennier in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"And one more thing. Tell the commander .. he was right. We were at
a crossroads, and there is no going back. Expect me .. when you see me."
-- G'Kar [recording] to Na'Toth in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Yes. I think he's ready. He's perfect for our needs. No. No. He suspects
nothing. And when the time is right, Ambassador Mollari will do exactly
as we wish. Destiny is on our side."
-- Morden to his associates in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
"Nothing's the same anymore."
-- Sinclair to Sakai in Babylon 5:"Chrysalis"
