- Capt. John Sheridan: [proposes to Delenn] I, um - I wanted you to have this. I got it down in the Zocalo. It's not what I had exactly in mind, but, um - It's temporary until I can get you a real engagement ring. Um, it's an Earth custom. See, you give someone you love an engagement ring as kind of a down payment for another ring. The kind you exchange when you get married. I don't know when we will be able to get around to that part of it. We may not survive the next two weeks, but I wanted you to have this and to know that whatever time I have left, I want to spend it with you.

- Capt. John Sheridan: We'll see.

- Cmdr. Susan Ivanova: And more on the way. The captain wants the biggest fleet in history if we're gonna end this war. The way things are shaping up out there it looks like he just might get it.
- Michael Garibaldi: And then what?
- Cmdr. Susan Ivanova: And then what what?
- Michael Garibaldi: Well if we lose, there is no "then what", and if we win, what next? We're still renegades. I don't think there's anybody left on this side of the galactic core we haven't already honked off. We can't go home. Sometimes I don't know which scares me more, winning or losing.
- Cmdr. Susan Ivanova: God, I thought I was depressing.

- [G'Kar is bloodstained and chained between two palace guards.]
- Emperor Cartagia: No, I don't care at all for the way he looks at me. Pluck out his eye!
- Guard: Which one?
- Emperor Cartagia: I don't know. Doesn't matter. - That one.
