[last lines]
Catherine Sakai : Ambassador! While I was out there, I saw something. What was it?
G'Kar : [points to a flower with a bug crawling on it] What is this?
Catherine Sakai : An ant.
G'Kar : Ant.
Catherine Sakai : So much gets shipped up from Earth on commercial transports it's hard to keep them out.
G'Kar : Yeah, I have just picked it up on the tip of my glove. If I put it down again, and it asks another ant, "what was that?",
[laughs]
G'Kar : how would it explain? There are things in the universe billions of years older than either of our races. They're vast, timeless, and if they're aware of us at all, it is as little more than ants, and we have as much chance of communicating with them as an ant has with us. We know, we've tried, and we've learned that we can either stay out from underfoot or be stepped on.
Catherine Sakai : That's it? That's all you know?
G'Kar : Yes, they are a mystery. And I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the universe, that we have not yet explained everything. Whatever they are, Miss Sakai, they walk near Sigma 957, and they must walk there alone.

G'Kar : Ah Ms. Sakai, I'm pleased to see that you have returned safely from your expedition.
Catherine Sakai : Yes, thanks to you. Just one question: Why?
G'Kar : Why not?
Catherine Sakai : It's not an answer.
G'Kar : Oh yes, it is. It's simply not an answer you like or the answer expected. There's a difference. Narns, humans, Centauri, we all do what we do for the same reason: because it seemed like a good idea at the time. There was no profit, no advantage in letting you fall to an untimely and most uncomfortable death. It would distress the Commander to no good effect. So once again we return to, "Why not?" I told you before you left: no one here is entirely what they appear. If I surprised you, all the better. Good day, Ms. Sakai.
