"Atonement"

"Ouch! She did that on purpose."
"Yes, I believe she did. I will deal with this. /Good Work. Give me a moment with the human. And next time .. Use a bigger needle./"
"Yeah. And don't you forget it!"

	-- Zack and Lennier in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"I think I got it."
"Just as long as it isn't in backwards. I've peered into my own soul more than enough lately."

	-- Franklin and G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"It's not my proper color!"

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

"Where did you say you were going?"
"I was.. I was just going to.. Nowhere that can't wait for a little while."

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

"It also occurred to me, as I told you, it is tradition for Minbari to spend three nights together. The female--"
"--watches and the male sleeps until his true face is revealed, I know. Whatever you see in a face mashed against a pillow and drooling, I don't know, but I try not to be judgemental about alien cultures, when they are dressed like that."

"Sheridans are survivors, always have been."

	-- Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"What was your name, child?"
"Delenn."
"Delenn."
"Yes."
"Of the family of Mir."
"Yes, Master."
"You have a proud heritage, Delenn of Mir. Prouder than you know. There is nothing to fear in the dreaming. Only that which we bring with us. The dreaming takes us forward and the dreaming takes us back. Walk with me in the dreaming, Delenn."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"For two days we have been debating an issue of some small importance. We have from time to time heard of a race known as humans. The Centauri have had dealings with them for some time. They are reportedly primitive, passionate, .. dangerous. The question: do we establish contact with these humans? They have each said no. All for different reasons. Would you like to hear them?"
"Perhaps another would be better suited.."
"The correct answer is 'yes'."
"Yes."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"Valen said: 'The greatest enemy is the one you do not know. You can predict the actions of those who are familiar to you. The one you can not predict is the one who can harm you.'"
"And what do you say?"
"If we do not know these humans, then they are a mystery to us. The universe puts a mystery in front of us as a gift. Politeness requires that we at least try to solve it."
"A-haa! You are curious, you would like to know, to simply understand. Simple curiosity."

	-- Delenn and Dukhat in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"I could override their decision, but nothing would be served. Authority should never be used as a club, Delenn."
"But, then why?"
"When one of us does a foolish thing, you should tell them it is a foolish thing. They can still continue to do it, but at least the truth is where it needs to be."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"Raise your eyes and look at me."
"It's disrespectful."
"I can not have an aide who will not look up. You will be forever walking into things."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"I am become Grey. I stand between the darkness and the light, .. between the candle and the star."

	-- Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"There is nothing to fear in the dreaming. Only that which we bring with us. Walk with me in the dreaming, Callenn."

	-- Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"There was a purpose in my selection. Your heritage.. You are a child of Valen."

	-- Dukhat to Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"

"The guards resisted at first. The Grey council is suspended, but the security remains. I managed to explain matters to them. They will recover.. in time."

	-- Lennier to Delenn in Babylon 5:"Atonement"
