"Objects in Motion"

"Thanks."
"Hey, no problem. Just .. just a good thing I happened to be passing by. I would have kept my eye out for your name on the incoming transport, but, .. you never told me what it was."

	-- Theresa Halloran and Franklin in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"Hello, Lyta."
"G'Kar."
"Do you mind if I talk to you?"
"You'll forgive the accommodations."
"It's a cell. I've gotten used to them. Frankly, I've done some of my best writing in places like this. In here, you cannot run from yourself."

	-- G'Kar and Lyta in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"It's ironic. Heh. You have to leave because everybody wants you. They're fighting over you. And I have to leave because nobody wants me.
"And yet we are the same in many ways. We are all the sum of our tears. Too little and the ground is not fertile, and nothing can grow there. Too much, the best of us is washed away. My rains have come and gone .. for now. Yours are just beginning."

	-- Lyta and G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"Meanwhile, consider the walls around you. In a little while, we will leave these behind. Now you have to decide how many others you will bring with you when we leave."

	-- G'Kar to Lyta in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"I don't believe in random attacks. Maybe there's not an obvious reason, but there's always a reason."

	-- Zack to Franklin in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"How are things on Mars?"
"We've had nothing but trouble with Earth since we became independent. They're treating us as if we were still a colony. Everything has to go through Earth: supplies, money transfers, documents. They couldn't kill us with bullets, so they're drowning us in red tape. Frankly, I preferred the bullets. At least there I could shoot back."
"Well, that's the problem when you go from being a soldier to a politician. You have to sit and listen to people you would've shot six months earlier."

	-- Sheridan and Tessa Halloran in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"I'd rather not say yet. I need some more time to think it over, but I've had an idea, and you know how dangerous that can be."

	-- Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"We put you in this position, G'Kar. Our reverence is our gift to you, and you are responsible to us. You owe us. Without us .. you are nothing."
"Then I am nothing. Good day."

	-- A Narn and G'Kar in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying."

	-- G'Kar to Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"But if you could have removed them at any time.."
"It made everybody feel safer. Besides, I think I kind of liked it after a while."

	-- G'Kar and Lyta in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"I find I'm actually looking forward to seeing the universe with you alongside, Lyta. Perhaps we'll find something extraordinary. Perhaps something extraordinary will find us. Either way, it's going to be quite an adventure."
"I smell another book coming."
"What a wonderful idea."

	-- G'Kar and Lyta in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"Let me introduce you to the new head of intelligence for the Interstellar Alliance."
"Hi."

	-- Garibaldi and Halloran in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"Life is full of surprises."
"Tell me about it. I figured I'd come up here for a few days, exchange some information for an offer of support from Sheridan. Who knew I'd end up with a new job? The ironic part is that I'm in a better position now to help Mars than when I was there."
"Yeah, well, when this place was built, I think irony was one of the primary materials used in construction, like the .. irony of you coming here just when most of us, me included, are getting ready to leave."

	-- Franklin and Halloran in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"

"It occurs to me I have never walked the length of this place end to end."
"Well, Delenn, it's five miles long."
"I know. Coming?"
"Now?"
"Now is all we have."

	-- Delenn and Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Objects in Motion"
