Michael Garibaldi : [after Steven and Lyta have taken weapons from the Mars Resistence] Stephen...
Dr. Stephen Franklin : Shut up! This damn well better be worth it! Because if this story of yours turns out to be bogus, I'm gonna kill you twice! NOW you GOT THAT?
-
Dr. Stephen Franklin : [Lyta has just finished doing a deep scan of Garibaldi's mind to see if what he has said about Bester's manipulation of him is true] Michael are you alright?
Michael Garibaldi : I just realized, I need a whole lot more fiber in my diet.
Lyta Alexander : It's true... everything he said, it's all true.
Number One : Like that mean a damn. How the hell do we know what you saw? Why in the hell should we even believe-
[she freezes as Lyta turns around, her eyes completely black]
Lyta Alexander : What do you know about Hell, hmm? Would you like me to show it to you? Mine and his?
[she sends all the images she scanned from Garibaldi's mind into Number One's mind]
Number One : [Reeling from the shock] It's true... every word of it... how did you...
Lyta Alexander : The truth speaks for itself. I'm just the messenger.

[a shared field bottle gets passed from Stephen to Lyta and from her to Michael]
Michael Garibaldi : Alright, who gulped? Somebody gulped. Look we have got a long way to go. We're supposed to sip, not gulp.
Dr. Stephen Franklin : I didn't gulp.
Michael Garibaldi : No?
Lyta Alexander : I sipped.
Michael Garibaldi : You I believe.
Dr. Stephen Franklin : What? Now why do you believe her and not me?
Michael Garibaldi : Cause when you lie, it's over your face. She's a better liar than you are.
Lyta Alexander : Thank you. Wait a minute...
Michael Garibaldi : [to Stephen] Look, the next time you carry the canteen, I'm gonna gulp.
Dr. Stephen Franklin : You are so petty, do you know that?
Lyta Alexander : What do you mean I'm a good liar?
Michael Garibaldi : Survival of the fittest.
Lyta Alexander : But I don't like what I'm hearing here. I'm not a great liar. I'm a terrible liar. I don't know who's been saying these things, but I want you to know, that when we get back I am gonna sue somebody. I don't know who and I don't know how, but by God, I am gonna sue somebody!

[first lines]
[Sheridan has been tortured and drugged and is hallucinating:]
Dr. Stephen Franklin : It's great to have you back, captain.
Capt. John Sheridan : Thanks. It's good to be back. I was starting to think I'd never get out of that place.
Dr. Stephen Franklin : Well, I wasn't worried. I knew they couldn't hold you.
Capt. John Sheridan : Well that makes one of us.
Dr. Stephen Franklin : So, you never told me how you got back here after you escaped.
Capt. John Sheridan : What's to tell? I sent word to the Mars Resistance, arranged for a pickup.
Dr. Stephen Franklin : Who'd you work through?
Capt. John Sheridan : My contact?
Interrogator 2 : Yes. Your contact.
Capt. John Sheridan : Uh. It's- We don't use names.
Interrogator 2 : Codes, then?
Capt. John Sheridan : Just - numbers.
