- [arguing over a 'food plan' given by Dr. Franklin]
- Lt. Commander Susan Ivanova: I'll *gain* weight!
- Dr. Stephen Franklin: At first, yes.
- Lt. Commander Susan Ivanova: Fine! All my life I've fought against imperialism; now *I'm* the expanding Russian frontier!
- Dr. Stephen Franklin: Yes, but with very nice borders.
- Captain John Sheridan: May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.
- Capt. John Sheridan: I wish I had your faith in the universe. I just don't see it sometimes.
- Delenn: Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective.
- Capt. John Sheridan: I'll tell you one thing. If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea! Hell, I always thought the opposable thumb was... overrated!
- Capt. John Sheridan: An old friend of mine once quoted me a ancient Egyptian blessing: "God be between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk."
- Delenn: The universe puts us into places where we can learn. They are never easy places, but they are right. Wherever we are is the right place and the right time. The pain that sometimes comes is part of the process of constantly being born.

- Capt. John Sheridan: Ever had a long talk with Ambassador Delenn, commander?
- Susan Ivanova: From time to time. Why?
- Capt. John Sheridan: She and the universe seem to have a special relationship.
- Susan Ivanova: Don't we all?
- Capt. John Sheridan: Star Stuff!

- Ogilvie: Crews report they'll be finished by 1500 hours.
- Capt. Jack Maynard: Good. I want to send a message to Babylon 5, attention of Cpt. John Sheridan. And take this down exactly.
