Short of dying? No, can't think of a thing.

[USS Stargazer NCC-2893]

Hello old friend! It's been a while.
- Ambassdor Jeffrey Sinclair

Garibaldi: No Boom?
Sinclair: No Boom.
Ivanova: No boom today. Boom Tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
*Sinclair and Garibaldi look at each other and walk away*
What? Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here! Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!

Sheridan: Are you trying to cheer me up?
Ivanova: No sir, wouldn't dream of it.
Sheridan: Good, I hate being cheered up.
Ivanova: In that case we're all going to die slow, agonizing deaths.
Sheridan: Thank you, I feel so much better now.

Alfred Bester: If I had my talent working, I could have warned you when he was coming.
Michael Garibaldi: And if I had a baseball bat, we could hang you from the ceiling and play piñata.
Alfred Bester: A piñata, huh? So, you think of me as something bright and cheerful, full of toys and candy for young children? Thank you! That makes me feel much better about our relationship.

" Hello Old Friend...!"

[Tyjos]

Probably any Garabaldi line...but one I like to use myself at times....

“I don't like being irritated. It gives me gas.”



Captain Sheridan (to Susan Ivanova): They have turned me into a bureaucrat, a politician. I'll tell you one thing, if the primates that we came from had known that some day politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea.




Another favorite Quote/Line/Segment

Zack: Anything unusual gets flagged.
Londo: And am I to fall into the category of unusual, Mr. Allan?
Zack: Well, I didn't think we'd be seeing you again anytime soon, Ambassador.
Londo: Yes, I gathered that from the look of unvarnished joy on your face when you saw me. Perhaps you would like to sit before you are overcome by ecstasy.
Zack: Thanks, I'm fine. So, what happened? They got tired of you back home?
Londo: Tired? Of course not, don't be absurd. The Emperor himself said I would only be allowed to leave over his dead body. I said: 'Well, how strange, Mr. Allan said I would only be allowed back on to Babylon 5 over his dead body.' With my very busy schedule I can only accomodate so many requests. I know it's a burden, but you will simply have to wait your turn.
Zack: The Only Reason that guy is still alive is half the time I don't know what the hell he's talking about,the other half I wish I didn't.

-

Bester [speaking of Lyta]: She's a blip. By all rights I should arrest her and take her back with me.
Sheridan: You could do that. And I could nail your head to the table, set fire to it and feed your charred remains to the Pak'Ma'Ra. But it's an imperfect world and we never get exactly what we want. So get used to it!"

And of course...

"Be Seeing you."

There are soooo many more....

No boom today, boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

"What do you want?"

[McClance]

From "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars":

"So, Doctor, who died?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Among my people this is how we celebrate state funerals. Our marriage ceremonies are solemn, sober, moments of reflection, also regret, disagreement, argument and mutual recrimination. Once you know it can't get any worse you can relax and enjoy the marriage. But to start with something like this.. No, it is a very bad sign for the future."
--Londo and Franklin


Delenn: "John Sheridan was a good, kind, and decent man."
Latimere: "Delenn, wait! You came all this way just to say that?"
Delenn: "You came just this far to say less?"
Tashaki: "Wait, there's so much we want to ask you. So much we want to know!"
Delenn: "You do not wish to know anything. You wish only to speak. That which you know, you ignore, because it is inconvenient. That which you do not know, you invent. But none of that matters, except that he was a good man, a kind man, who cared about the world, even when the world cared nothing for him."
Exeter: "Well, of course we would expect you to say that..."
Delenn (gives him a hard look): "Good-bye."
(I love that moment, Delenn telling those "experts")


"This is how the world ends--swallowed in fire, but not in darkness. You will live on. The voice of all our ancestors, the voice of our fathers and our mothers to the last generation. We created the world we think you would've wished for us. And now we leave the cradle for the last time."
--Advanced Human, the very last line in the B5 universe chronologically

[Final]

They say he was always volunteering for death bed scans, I guess he wanted to know what was on the other side. They say he was there inside someone's mind when they died and he went too deep, saw more than anyone should ever see, and when the door closed, the rest of him... maybe the best of him... never came back.

Londo Mollari all the way from his denouncing the Centauri Leaders a "convention of genetic deffectives" to him telling the story of the once mighty empire that is now a tourist attraction (will paraphrase that one):

"visit the mighty centauri republic, the lion of the galaxy. open from 9-5 earth time" (i almost fell out of my chair on both occasions ^^)
