[Sheridan, back from Z'ha'dum, interrupts the rabble rousers on the Zocalo.]
Drazi: Captain...we're sorry...We thought you were dead.
John Sheridan: [deadpan] I was. I'm better now.

[Sinclair and Garibaldi are discussing the actions of Kosh during this episode]
Sinclair: They say God works in mysterious ways.
Michael Garibaldi: Maybe so. But He's a con man compared to the Vorlon.

[Sinclair and Ivanova see Garibaldi and Lennier ride through the corridor on a motorcycle.]
Ivanova: It's good to have things back to normal.

[Sinclair and Ivanova try to retrieve the machine-ensconced alien while the planet quakes around them.]
Ivanova: Commander, we don't have a lot of time. We're cut off from the way we came in, we don't know if we can find another way back to the ship before we run out of air...
Sinclair: We can't leave him like this!
Ivanova: I know, I know. It's a Russian thing. When we're about to do something stupid, we like to catalog the full extent of our stupidity for future reference.

[Sinclair comes upon Talia waiting for a tube car.]
Talia Winters: It seems like every time I get into the tube, Mr. Garibaldi's there! It's like he knows!
Jeffrey Sinclair: Talia, Mr. Garibaldi is many things, but he's not omniscient.
[The tube opens, revealing a grinning Garibaldi, then closes again.]
Talia: I think I'll take the stairs.
Sinclair: I think I'll join you.

[Sinclair is listening to an audio recording of Tennyson's Ulysses in his quarters]
Catherine: Tennyson? Jeff, you've been caught on that one since the Academy! What's it take to drag you into the 23rd century?
Sinclair: We find meaning where we can.
Catherine: Ah, and which are you? "An idle king...doling unequal laws unto a savage race that hoard and sleep and feed and know not you"? Or, "this gray spirit, yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star"?
Sinclair: I didn't know you'd memorized it!
Catherine: I lived with you for a year. I didn't have much choice.

[Sinclair is recalling his experience at the Battle of the Line.]
Sinclair: I was squad team leader when the call came in. We all knew it was a suicide mission. The Minbari had broken through and were closing in. Every ship we had left was ordered to circle Earth. We had to stop them, no matter what it cost. They came at us out of nowhere. We never had a chance. The sky was full of stars, and every star an exploding ship--one of ours. My team was blown out of the sky in less than a minute.
Carolyn Sykes: I'm sorry.
Sinclair: I managed to take out a fighter before they hit my stabilizers. I was losing power, I'd lost my team. And I figured if I was going to die, I'd take some of them with me. So I targeted one of their heavy cruisers. Hit my afterburners. I was going to ram them head-on. The last thing I remember is hurtling toward that cruiser. Filling my screen, big...my God, so big! Then...something...passed in front of my eyes. I guess I blacked out from the acceleration. When I came to twenty-four hours later, the cruiser was gone. I checked in. They told me the war was over. The Minbari had surrendered.
Carolyn Sykes: Because of the Line!
Sinclair: No, that's what I'm trying to tell you. We were beaten. We didn't stop them, they stopped themselves! And I wish to hell I knew why.

[Sinclair returns to C&C to see how Ivanova is handling the armed vessels from many outraged non-aligned worlds.]
Susan Ivanova: Well, I've managed to get the ship captains engaged in a debate over who has the best claim to Jha'dur. The winner will be the first to attack.
Jeffrey Sinclair: Creative.

[Sinclair watches Garibaldi wolf down his food.]
Jeffrey Sinclair: They say food tastes better if you chew it first.
Michael Garibaldi: Don't talk, I've seen you eat. Does the term "Doppler effect" ring a bell?

[Sinclair's pocketed link beeps, interrupting Catherine.]
Catherine Sakai: I don't mean to alarm you, but your pants are talking to you.
Jeffrey Sinclair: I know.

[speaking to his "associates"]
Morden: Yes. I think he's ready....Perfect for our needs....No....No. He suspects nothing....When the time is right, Ambassador Mollari will do exactly as we wish....Destiny is on our side.

[Talia gets wind of a new arrival on the station.]
Talia Winters: Stoner? Matt Stoner?
Garibaldi: Yeah, yeah, that was his name. Matthew.
Talia: He's not here on Babylon 5?
John Sheridan: Is that a problem?
[Talia sighs and nods her head "yes."]
Garibaldi: You know him?
Talia: Only in the most unpleasant sense. I was married to him.

[The "conspiracy of light" worries about exposure by Bester.]
Michael Garibaldi: And after that, there are only two options. He turns us in, we're court-martialled, then shot for treason. Or we kill him, before he has a chance to tell anybody.
Stephen Franklin: I will not support murder. We can not kill him.
Ivanova: Can we wound him? Just a little?

[The Brakiri Day of the Dead has begun, and part of the station is...off-limits.]
Lt. David Corwin: There seems to be a slight problem, sir. It's kind of hard to explain. We seem to be missing a piece of the station. We can't reach it. We can't communicate with it.
John Sheridan: That piece is almost a square mile across. You can't just lose something that big.
Lt. Corwin: I agree, but it's still missing.

[the command staff changes the access codes for the station's computer system]
Sheridan: This is Captain John J. Sheridan. Serial number XO7Y39-Alpha. Security code: obsidian.
Ivanova: This is Commander Susan Ivanova. Serial number Z48M27-Epsilon. Security code: griffin.
Michael Garibaldi: This is Chief Warrant Officer Michael Garibaldi. Serial number V17L98. Security code: peekaboo.
. . .
Ivanova: Peekaboo?
Garibaldi: Would you have guessed it?
