"Epiphanies"

"Maybe the doc's right. Embrace the moment. In the end, that's all we have. Trouble will come in its own time, it always does. But that's tomorrow. Give me today, and I will be happy."

	-- Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"The royal bloodline isn't what it used to be. Too much intermarrying I suppose. I always say: 'When you reduce a family tree to a family bush, you just can't hide as much beneath it.'"

	-- Minister to Londo in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"A regent? Oh my heavens, who would take that job? It pays very well, I hear, but it's simply a ceremonial role."
"Actually, they've selected you."
"It hardly seems worth-- Me?"

	-- Minister and Londo in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"I'm thinking .. pastels!"

	-- Centauri Regent to his court in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"I have seen what power does, and I have seen what power costs. The one is never equal to the other."

	-- G'Kar to Franklin in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"No one can blame you for feeling a little stressed out. Maybe a few days away.."
"I don't want a few days away. I don't want a vacation or a leave of absence for a five-day pass to Disney planet. I just want out."

	-- Franklin and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"Anything unusual gets flagged."
"And am I to fall into the category of unusual, Mr. Allan?"
"Well, I didn't think we'd be seeing you again anytime soon, Ambassador."
"Yes, I gathered that from the look of unvarnished joy on your face when you saw me. Perhaps you would like to sit before you are overcome by ecstasy."
"Thanks, I'm fine. So, what happened? They got tired of you back home?"
"Tired? Of course not, don't be absurd. The Emperor himself said I would only be allowed to leave over his dead body. I said: 'Well, how strange, Mr. Allan said I would only be allowed back on to Babylon 5 over his dead body.' With my very busy schedule I can only accomodate so many requests. I know it's a burden, but you will simply have to wait your turn."

	-- Zack and Londo in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"The only reason that guy is still alive is that half the time I don't know what the hell he's talking talking about. The other half, I wish I didn't. But that's why it's important to check in on customs on a regular basis. You never know who's gonna walk in that.."

	-- Zack about Londo in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"Just a guess, Mr. Allan, but I suggest the word you are looking for is 'door'. Now, please notify the captain that I'm here, I need to meet with him and the rest of the command staff ASAP. I assume my usual quarters in the brig are available. I have grown so attached to the place."
"For you Mr. Bester, always."

	-- Bester and Zack in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry."
"Welcome hooome, Mr. Gaaaribaaaldi."
"Thank you, G'Kar."
"What?"
"I can't breathe."
"Sorry."

	-- Garibaldi and G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"All for nothing? Absolutely not! Yes, true, if I hadn't gone after you, the Centauri would never have captured me and yes, it cost me my eye, but it put me into the right place to strike a deal with Mollari. Because of that deal, my world is now free."

	-- G'Kar to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront [pat] the universe with good [pat] [pat] intentions in your heart, it will reflect that and reward [pat] your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect."

	-- G'Kar to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"Psi-Cops are trained to make everyone nervous, but Bester can make even other Psi-Cops nervous."
"Hell, the man can make poison ivy nervous."

	-- Lyta and Zack in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"My world is now free. You longer exist in my universe. Pray that we never notice one another again."

	-- G'Kar to Londo in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"I want you to know that I object to this, Captain. Ms. Alexander has no business being here. She's a blip. By all right I should arrest her and take back with me."
"You could do that. And I could nail your head to the table, set fire to it, and feed your charred remains to the Pak'ma'ra. But it's an imperfect world and we never get exactly what we want. So get used to it."
"Captain, this is pointless. She is a P5. If I were really going to try something, she's not powerful enough to block me anyway. You're just embarrassing yourself, and her. Haven't we learned by now to trust each other."
"No. Now, sit."

	-- Bester and Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"You know, the one thing in life that you can be sure about is that you are going to make mistakes."

	-- Garibaldi to Zack in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"The way I figure it, we are all entitled to one really big, incredibly stupid screw-up in our lives. Maybe this is one of those, we'll see."

	-- Garibaldi to Zack in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"The war's over, we won. We should get a few days off before the next big crisis. It never seems to work out that way."
"No. And you wouldn't have it any other way."
"I beg your pardon?"
"You are a problem solver. You are one of these people who'll pick up a rope that's got all tangled up and spend entire day untangling it. Because it's a challenge, because it defies your sense of order in the universe, and because you can. Sometimes I try to picture you sitting on a beach with absolutely nothing to do."
"And?"
"And, the picture always ends with your head imploding."

	-- Sheridan and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"

"Dream! That's all. Just a bad dream."

	-- Centauri Regent in Babylon 5:"Epiphanies"
