Garibaldi [to himself]: If I kill Lennier, I would start a war.

Garibaldi: If I knew who God was, I'd thank her.

Garibaldi: It's easy to fight when you've got a lot of ships to work with. The real crunch comes when you're down to almost nothing! Then you either play it safe and you probably lose it all, or you take a chance! After what we've been through with your people, Sheridan was crazy to send our pilots out to fight for your ship! They didn't want to go, they didn't want to get blown out of the sky and leave B5 defenseless, and they sure as hell didn't want to die! But they did it because Sheridan told them to do it and because it was right!
G'Kar: This time it is possible he could be wrong.
Garibaldi: Yeah, it's possible. But you don't follow an order because you know for sure it's gonna work out! You do what you're told! Because your CO has the moral authority that says, "You may not come back! But the cause is just and fair and necessary!" That's why Sheridan is out there, and damn it, that's where that cruiser should be, too! It's not Na'Kal's decision, G'Kar. He doesn't see the big picture--you do! So in my book, and your book, that makes it your responsibility! Deal with it!

Garibaldi: Okay, who gulped? Somebody gulped. We have got a long way to go. We're supposed to sip, not gulp.
Franklin: I didn't gulp.
Lyta: I sipped.
Garibaldi: [to Lyta] You I believe.
Franklin: [chagrined] What? Why do you believe her and not me?
Garibaldi: Because when you lie, it's all over your face. She's a better liar than you are.
Lyta: Thank you. [pause] Wait a minute! [...] What do you mean I'm a good liar?

Garibaldi: There he goes�Jinx-...Thomas.
Sinclair: Mm-hmm.
Susan Ivanova: You never did tell me what you think about that curse.
Sinclair: What curse?
Garibaldi: You know. That bit about if he leaves Babylon 5, the same thing that happened to Babylons 1, 2, 3 and 4 would happen to us.
Sinclair: Oh, that curse. You're not taking it seriously, are you?
Garibaldi: Me? No, of course not. You?
Sinclair: No.
Garibaldi: So, how long until he hits jump?
Ivanova: [working her console] Oh, right about...now!
[the ship goes through the jump gate without incident]
Garibaldi: No boom?
Sinclair: No boom.
Ivanova: No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
[Sinclair and Garibaldi exchange an exasperated look and wander off.]
Ivanova: What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here. Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM! [N]

Garibaldi: Think they'll ever find that transmitter you slipped G'Kar?
Sinclair: No. because there isn't one.
Garibaldi: There isn't? Wait--
Sinclair: I lied. I figured if there were a transmitter, sooner or later they'd find it and remove it. But if I just told them there was, they'd keep looking. Indefinitely.
Garibaldi: Commander, do you have any idea of the tests they'll put him through, the things they'll do to him trying to find a transmitter that's not there?
Sinclair: Yes.

Garibaldi: This is the part I hate most: the waiting.
Sinclair:Hmm. (There's a moment of silence.)
Garibaldi: Mind if I ask you a question?
Sinclair: Sure.
Garibaldi: Okay, it's morning, you're getting ready for work, you pull on your pants --do you fasten and zip, or zip and then fasten?
Sinclair: What kind of question is that?
Garibaldi: Well, look, we've got two hours to kill --
Sinclair: Forget it.
Garibaldi: Just a question.
Sinclair: Why do you want to know?
Garibaldi: Why do I want to know? Because I think about these things sometimes. I was getting dressed this morning, I couldn't remember how I did it, and I started thinking about it. Does everyone do it the same way? Is it a left-handed/right-handed thing --?
Sinclair: (incredulous) You think about this stuff a lot?
Garibaldi: Yeah. Look, okay, I'm sorry I asked. You're always so serious all the time. Not every conversation has to be the end of the world as we know it.
Sinclair: I didn't mean to --
Garibaldi: Never mind. It's okay. I'll just -- watch my console. Don't worry about it. (After a long pause, Sinclair sighs.)
Sinclair: Fasten, then zip. You?
Garibaldi: Fasten zip. (Sinclair chuckles.)
Sinclair: How much longer?
Garibaldi: One hour, fifty seven minutes. (pause) Want to talk socks?
Sinclair: No.
Garibaldi: Just a question.
Sinclair: I'm not having this conversation.

General Richard Franklin: [meeting Garibaldi] I had an Alfredo Garibaldi under my command during the Dilgar invasion. Excellent soldier!
Michael Garibaldi: [smiles proudly] That was my dad.
Gen. Franklin: [unimpressed] So much for genetics.

General Smits: Captain. I'm sure you've been following the news.
John Sheridan: Yes, sir. If I may ask, what's your opinion?
General Smits: My opinion has nothing to do with this, Captain, and neither does yours! Our job is to follow orders from the Commander in Chief and respect the chain of command! If you have different opinions, I suggest you file them in a deep dark place where nobody'll ever find them! Am I clear?

Ivanova: [to a Drazi ship threatening to fire on the station] Vakar Ashok, our gun arrays are now fixed on your ship. They will fire the instant you come into range. You will find their power most impressive...for a few seconds.

Ivanova: C'mon c'mon, grab what you need. We're running out of time.
Zathras: Cannot run out of time. There is infinite time. You are finite. Zathras is finite. [picking up tool] THIS is wrong tool.

Ivanova: Don't worry about me. I'll just sit here and knit something.

Ivanova: 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.

Ivanova: If I live through this job without completely losing my mind, it will be a miracle of biblical proportions!
David Corwin: Well, there goes my faith in the Almighty.

Ivanova: Lennier, get us the hell out of here!
Lennier: Initiating "getting the hell out of here" maneuver.
