"When do we begin?"
'As always, Mr. Gray, when the time is right...'
        -- Harriman Gray and Col. Ari Ben Zayn, "Eyes"
%%
"So, how long have you been stationed here, Officer Welch?"
'Since B5 went on-line.'
"Do you like it?"
'It beats a kick in the teeth.'
"How about Commander Sinclair? Does *he* beat a kick in the teeth?"
'Do I know you?'
"Aaron Franks, Quartermaster Corporation. We're hoping to supply the
    station and I'm trying to find out everything I can."
'Well, I'm trying to eat my lunch. *Quietly*.'
"Sorry to bother you."
        -- Col. Ari Ben Zayn and Officer Lou Welch, "Eyes"
%%
"Sexual prowess and rebellion..."
        -- Lennier, "Eyes"
%%
"Mr. Garibaldi. Very good."
'You know me?'
"Intimately. Fix you a drink?"
'I don't drink.'
"Really? Good. It's a vile habit when abused. Makes a soldier weak.
    Gets him in a *lot* of trouble."
        -- Col. Ben Zayn & Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"You're starting to irritate me, Mr. Franks, and I don't like being
 irritated. It gives me gas."
        -- Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"Enough people have played with my brain already this year."
        -- Sinclair, "Eyes"
%%
"Do I have the Colonel's permission to speak freely?"
'Getting the truth is my job. I expect to hear it whenever you talk to me.'
"Well, in that case, I think this is the biggest pile of horse-hockey I
    ever saw. Who the hell's running Earth Force? Abbott & Costello?"
        -- Col. Ari Ben Zayn and Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"Peekaboo."
        -- Garibaldi's password, "Eyes"
%%
"Lieutenant Commander, I'm aware of your hostility towards Psi Corps and
    the reason for it...and I sympathize."
'You do? How nice! I shall send you a card on your birthday.'
        -- Mr. Gray and Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"It's not easy to have your dreams snatched away just because you're
 different!"
        -- Harriman Gray, "Eyes"
%%
"Part of a dream is better than none."
        -- Harriman Gray, "Eyes"
%%
"Mr. Gray, I'm grateful the Psi Corps's given you a purpose in life, but
 when that purpose includes scanning *my* mind to prove *my* loyalty,
 it's not only an invasion of my privacy, but my *honor*. As for fear,
 if you enter my mind for any reason, I will twist your head off and use
 it for a chamberpot!  If you'll excuse me."
        -- Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"These Vorlons have been trouble ever since they arrived."
'Well, they're like that. Real fun guys.'
        -- Col. Ari Ben Zayn & Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"Protests are as much use with the Vorlons as fairy wings on a cement truck."
        -- Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"If I knew who God was, I'd thank her."
        -- Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"Look, I know you're a by-the-book guy, Jeff, but let's face it - we've
 rewritten the book a few times to make B5 work...and made a few enemies
 along the way."
        -- Garibaldi (to Sinclair), "Eyes"
%%
"Earth Alliance may have problems, but they can't be solved by trampling
 on human dignity."
        -- Sinclair, "Eyes"
%%
"I was just about to embark on the mysteries of the fuel injection system.
    Would you care to join me?"
'Do me a favor. Embark on a journey to your quarters so I can get some
    sleep.'
        -- Lennier and Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"If I kill him, it would start a war..."
        -- Garibaldi (re: Lennier), "Eyes"
%%
S: "Will it make the voices go away?"
C: "No, but it will make them sing like birds, Sofie."
T: "A shame you refuse to cooperate."
        -- Sofie Ivanov, Comedy and Tragedy, "Eyes"
%%
"Only one way out. Only one way."
        -- Sofie Ivanova / Susan Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"May I borrow your PPG to shoot myself squarely in the head?"
'That won't be necessary...this time.
        -- Ivanova and Sinclair, "Eyes"
%%
"Why are you so afraid of being scanned?  Surely your mother must have made
contact with your mind at one time or another."
"Yes, she did.  And you can't imagine what it's like.  To share your own
mother's love for you, to feel it in your thoughts.  No one's ever been that
close to me.  And no one must intrude upon that memory.  Especially Psi
Corps."
  -- Sinclair and Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"Stand fast, Mister!  I've seen plenty like you.  Hot shots, promoted up
through the ranks without any real leadership ability.  You think because
you fought on the Line, normal military standards don't apply to you.  Well
think again, hero.  As of this moment I'm relieving you of your command
pending a full inquiry before a military tribunal."
"What?!?"
"You heard me.  I'm assuming command of Babylon 5.  As of now, I'm in charge."
  -- Colonel Ari Ben Zayn and Cmdr. Sinclair, "Eyes"
%%
"I don't know what this guy's after, but he's pulling out all the stops to
get it."
"I won't submit to a scan."
"He'll charge you with insubordination."
"And I'll be replaced and dishonorably discharged.  It's a very Russian
ending."
  -- Garibaldi and Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"I've always been proud be a member of Earth Force but right now I'd
rather serve the Minbari.  At least they have a sense of honor.  You once
offered to buy me a drink, Garibaldi.  If that offer still stands I think I
could use one."
  -- Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"Are you going to arrest me, Garibaldi?"
'No way. *I* want to live to see the future. I just want to talk with
    you, to reason with you, recite a few choice passages from my favorite
    reading...for as long as it takes.'
"You don't play fair. Okay, I surrender."
        -- Ivanova and Garibaldi, "Eyes"
%%
"You're insane."
'Maybe I am. Maybe it's crazy to think that Earth Force still respects
    honor, freedom and human dignity when a maggot like you can spit on
    some of the best officers I've ever served with, all for the sake
    of your own ambition.'
        -- Col. Ari Ben Zayn & Cdr. Jeffrey Sinclair, "Eyes"
%%
"Yes, I know all about you and the Minbari."
        -- Col. Ari Ben Zayn (to Sinclair), "Eyes"
%%
"It's good to have things back to normal."
        -- Ivanova, "Eyes"
%%
"The intent of the question is sometimes as important as the answer."
  -- Sinclair, "Eyes"
%%
"Get outta here."
"Yes.  Of course."
"No no no wait wait wait.  I didn't mean go, I meant..."
  -- Garibaldi and Lenier, "Eyes"
