- Citizen G'Kar: You want to be president?
- Captain John Sheridan: Yes.

- Michael Garabaldi: If this cockpit breaches, I'm screwed!
- Michael Garabaldi: You know, granted, "military intelligence" is kind of an oxymoron. But anyway, the new head of covert intelligence for the Alliance is pleased to meet you.
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: As long as you're running an efficient operation and aren't looking for trouble, you are doing just fine.
- Lt. David Corwin: That's what I'm trying to tell you. Around here we don't have to go looking for trouble. On B5, trouble comes looking for us.
- President John Sheridan: If more of our so-called leaders would walk the same streets as the people who voted them in, live in the same buildings, eat the same food instead of hiding behind glass and steel and bodyguards maybe we would get better leadership and a little more concern for the future.

- Michael Garabaldi: By the way, just curious, which side were you on during the big fight back home?
- Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: I was on the side of Earth, Mr. Garibaldi. Weren't we all?

- Man: [over radio] This is Earth Alliance Destroyer Acheron. We've got your package.
- Londo Mollari: With all due respect, Mr. President, you chose that life the moment you accepted this position. On my world, we have learned that an inauguration is simply a signal to assassins that a new target has been set up on the firing range.
