"It was the Dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the
Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal:
to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could
work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away
from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers. Humans
and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning
metal...all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our
last, best hope for peace.
This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is
2258. The name of the place...is Babylon 5."
-- Commander Jeffrey Sinclair's opening narrative, Season One
%%
"Commander, there's a problem."
-- Ivanova, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"My brain will be five days dead before I ever trust a Centauri."
-- Garibaldi (to Londo), "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Okay, we made a mistake. I'm sorry. Here, open my wrists."
"Centauri don't have major arteries in their wrists."
"Of course we don't, what do you think, I'm stupid?"
-- Londo and Garibaldi, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"...then you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of fifteen things - all
of them annoying."
-- Ivanova, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"My father always told me: The best way to understand someone is to fight
him, make him angry. That's when you see the real person."
-- Sinclair, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"So, who are you going to vote for?"
'I think I'll vote for Marie Crane. I do not like Santiago. I've
always thought that a leader should have a strong chin. He
has no chin and his vice-president has several. This, to me,
is not a good combination.'
-- Sinclair and Ivanova, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"We'll strike back and we'll strike back hard!"
-- Londo, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"The wheel turns, does it not, Ambassador?"
-- G'Kar (to Londo), "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"We should have wiped out your kind when we had the chance."
'What happened? Run out of small children to butcher?'
-- Londo and G'Kar, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Your time has come and gone. It's our turn now! One night you'll wake up
and find our teeth at your throat. Sleep well, Ambassador. Sleep lightly."
-- G'Kar (to Londo), "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"There -will- be war. This I swear to you, Commander."
-- Londo Mollari, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"If you ask me, the universe is going to hell in a handbasket."
-- Garibaldi, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"20 years from now, one of us will be older and wiser. Or one of us will be
dead. Whose to say? Me...I need another drink."
-- Londo, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"On the issue of galactic peace, I am long past innocence and fast
approaching apathy. It's all a game - a paper fantasy of names and borders."
-- Londo, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"They are alone. They are a dying people. We should let them pass."
'Who? The Narn or the Centauri?'
"Yes."
-- Kosh and Sinclair, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Mr. Garibaldi, you're sitting at my station, using my equipment. Is there
a reason for this or to save time, should I just go ahead and snap your
hands off at the wrist?"
-- Ivanova, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"The Council can go to hell. The emergency session can go to hell. And
you, you can go to hell too. I wouldn't want you to feel left out!"
-- Londo (to Vir), "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"We are a race of lunatics and cowards."
-- Londo, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Afterward, if you like, you can stop by my quarters and I can show you my
favorite thing in the whole universe. Okay, okay, my second favorite
thing in the universe."
-- Garibaldi to Talia, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Well, unlike me, the Lieutenant Commander takes a while to warm up to
people, especially when she's working."
-- Garibaldi (re: Ivanova), "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"I will confess that I look forward to the day when we have cleansed the
Universe of the Centauri and carved their bones into little flutes for
Narn children. It is a dream I have."
'Be careful, Ambassador. Not every dream I've heard lately end well for you.'
-- G'Kar and Sinclair, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"The sneak attack is the first resort of a coward."
-- Sinclair, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"The Earth Alliance can't go around being the galaxy's policemen."
-- Sinclair and The Senator, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Blood calls out for blood."
-- Londo, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Mr. Garibaldi. Just now, would you really have killed *me*?"
'Yes. Yes, I would have, but I'm just as glad I didn't have to. The
paperwork's a pain in the butt.'
-- Londo and Garibaldi, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"In another place I would have you skinned alive for saying that."
"You want me, you know where to find me."
-- G'Kar and Sinclair, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Any other instructions, Commander?"
"Lots of them. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find you before I left, so
you never heard about any orders from Earth Central."
-- Ivanova and Sinclair, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"When they discover what you are, they give you three choices. You can
either join the Psi Corps or go to prison or agree to take certain
drugs for the rest of your life. Drugs that inhibit your telepathic
abilities."
'That's the law. Unregistered telepaths have to be controlled in order to
ensure the privacy of others.'
-- Ivanova and Talia Winters, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
'And yet you're as much of a victim as my mother.'
"I don't feel like a victim."
'No. And so far, I cannot tell if that is good...or bad.'
-- Ivanova and Talia, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Perhaps tomorrow we can start out on better terms."
'I very much doubt it.'
-- Talia Winters and Ivanova, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
%%
"Had the silly thing in reverse."
-- Duck Dodgers, "Midnight on the Firing Line"
