[Londo tells Vir about his friendship with Urza Jaddo.]
Londo Mollari: In dueling societies, it is customary for each member to be given a fighting name by his comrades! They said I fought like a crazed leati, and so they called me Paso Leati! Urza was known as Skal Tura--the silent beast! Those were great times, Vir! We were young, proud, fierce, bursting to prove ourselves to each other and to the world. Our starships ruled the spaceways, and our power was rivaled by that of the gods only! Ah, Great Maker, it was good to be a Centauri then!
Vir Cotto: Every generation of Centauri mourns for the golden days when their power was like unto the gods! It--it's counterproductive! I mean, why make history if you fail to learn by it?
Londo: You know, Vir, you have what the Earthers call a negative personality.
Vir: No, I don't.
Londo: There, you see?
