- Capt. John Sheridan: First obligation of a prisoner is to escape.
- Lorien: Ah - - so if one is a prisoner of love, one must escape to solitude? If one is a prisoner to joy, must one escape to sadness?
- Lorien: Words have meaning. And Names have power. The universe began with a word, you know. But which came first? The word or the thought behind the word?
- [last lines]
- Capt. John Sheridan: What if I fall. How will I know if you'll catch me?
- Lorien: I caught you before.
- Capt. John Sheridan: What if I die?
- Lorien: I cannot create life but I can breathe on the remaining embers. It may not work.
- Capt. John Sheridan: But I can hope.
- Lorien: Hope is all we have.
- [Sheridan re-experiences scenes from his past.]
- Lorien: Do you have anything worth living for?
- Delenn: Sleep now. I will watch and catch you if you should fall.
- Capt. John Sheridan: Delenn!
- G'Kar: If you're going to be worried every time the universe doesn't make sense you'll be worried every moment of every day for the rest of your natural life.
- Marcus Cole: Your point being?
- Lorien: "Who are you?" It's a dangerous question, isn't it? There's never a good answer to it. I suppose that's the point.
- Delenn: I have sometimes heard humans say: "Minbari never tell anyone the whole truth." But I am no longer wholly Minbari. I should have changed my heart more than I did. But I loved him, and I... I wanted to protect him. I should have loved him less and trusted him more.

- Dr. Stephen Franklin: Personal log, January 8, 2261. Dr. Stephen Franklin recording. It's been nine days since Capt. Sheridan was presumed killed on Z'Ha'Dum. Nine days since Mr. Garibaldi disappeared on patrol outside the station. Medlab's quiet these days. The League of Non-Aligned Worlds has broken up and everyone's going back to their Homeworlds to prepare for the next stage of war. We know, the enemy is going to strike back. Rumor has it that this time is going to be the last time.
- Voice: Please restrain yourself, Mr. Garibaldi, or you will hurt yourself. We can't allow that.
- Michael Garibaldi: [pacing the room] Yeah? Why not?
- Voice: We have orders.
- Michael Garibaldi: [intercut as if he's asked this many times] Orders? Whose orders? *Orders*? Whose orders? *Whose orders?*
- Voice: We can't tell you that. You must know that by now.
- Michael Garibaldi: Look, just - *What do you want from me?*
- Voice: We want to know what you remember after being taken from Babylon 5.
- Michael Garibaldi: I told you, I don't remember anything!
- Voice: Your vital signs indicate you're being somewhat less than honest. You're just trying to avoid discomfort by telling us what you think we want to hear.
- Michael Garibaldi: [sarcastic] Why would I do that, huh? Maybe because you got me stuck in this tomb? I don't know where the hell I'm at? Maybe figuring out what *you want* is the only way out? Well, *silly me*!
- Voice: [intercut as if he's been told this many times] Don't think, Mr. Garibaldi. Don't think, Mr. Garibaldi. Just tell us the truth.
- Michael Garibaldi: Aw, gimme a break!
- Voice: What happened after you left Babylon 5?
- Michael Garibaldi: I *told* you I don't remember!
- Voice: What happened after...
- Michael Garibaldi: [enraged] *I said I don't remember!*
- Voice: What happened?
- [Garibaldi rips a piece off the chair in the center of the room and begins punctuating his words by battering the rest of the chair with it]
- Michael Garibaldi: I *don't*...
- Voice: What happened?
- Michael Garibaldi: ...*remember*...
- Voice: Stop that, Mr. Garibaldi!
- Michael Garibaldi: ...*anything*...
- [Michael bashes the door once, futilely, and then goes to work on the light fixtures, shattering them one by one, shouting incoherently]
- Voice: Stop it, Mr. Garibaldi. We can force you to behave.
