[Sheridan is inviting Delenn to dinner in his quarters]
John Sheridan: You know, every time that I have seen you lately, we've been in the middle of a crisis! A revolution! I mean, this is the first time in months that it's been this quiet! It won't last. It never does. But as long as it's here...I'd like to see you tonight.
Delenn: Are you not seeing me now? I would assume that you see me every time we meet. Unless I have become translucent, or insubstantial, and no one has thought to inform me until now.
Sheridan: Then let me say I'd like to see you in a different light. Candlelight, for instance. Over dinner?
Delenn: Tonight?
Sheridan: Tomorrow we may be involved in another crisis, another battle! This may be the last chance we'll get for a while. You know, back home we have a saying. "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!"
Delenn: Humans can be a very depressing people.
Sheridan: Only if we get turned down for dinner.
Delenn: Well, we cannot have that, now can we?
