- Rolf Müller: You're some kind of big shot, brainy guy back in school.
- Max Eilerson: The term is "prodigy." Seven letters, three syllables. I can see why it might give you problems.

- Dr. Sarah Chambers: So, this is Babylon 5. It's everything I expected. Noisy, crowded, and constantly in trouble. Still, you have to give it credit. It has lasted 10 years. Nobody back home thought it would even last a year.
- Max Eilerson: Lots of things hang on longer than they should: poison ivy, measles, Babylon 5, some people.
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: [has just won her bet] That'll be 100 credits
- Capt. Matthew Gideon: You cheated.

- Capt. Matthew Gideon: You do? Real honest-to-God hot running water?
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Yea. But you'll have to wait while it recycles.
- [they kiss and embrace]
- Capt. Matthew Gideon: We don't have to wait to recycle the water. We could, uh - we could share.
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Environmentally safe.
- Capt. Matthew Gideon: Waste not, want not.
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Absolutely.

- Capt. Matthew Gideon: I never get to have any fun. - Oh. Sorry! *Almost* never get to have any fun.
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Speaking of which, and I think we should before you leave - I'm still not entirely certain how things went so fast between us. It's really not like me to, well - uh. Anyway, I mean, I don't regret that it happened -
- Capt. Matthew Gideon: Neither do I.
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: I just don't want you to get the wrong impression. I'm responsible for this whole place and I'm not looking to get into a relationship right now. I'm not looking to commit to anything. I just hope you understand.
- Capt. Matthew Gideon: Absolutely. I'm in the same situation. It's not a problem.
- [last lines]
