- Susan Ivanova: [upon seeing all the people running around in the docking bay] Do you think anybody would notice if I just... killed a few of them?
- Stephen Franklin, M.D.: Well... how many?
- Susan Ivanova: I don't know... uh, ten?
- Stephen Franklin, M.D.: Oh yeah. They'd notice.
- Susan Ivanova: Six?
- Stephen Franklin, M.D.: Go for it.
- Alex: I want to thank you for your time, Miss Alexander. You are a lovely young woman. And if I was thirty younger, and you were a little blind in one eye, what a wonderful life we could have together.
- Susan Ivanova: Well, the vultures are starting to circle.
- Zack Allan: I thought the vultures only circled after you were dead.
- Susan Ivanova: Maybe they know something we don't.
- Delenn: John, whenever something comes into our proximity that has to do with the unknown, your eyes light up like two tiny suns. And do you know what words these two tiny lights spell out?

- Delenn: Minbari do not lie.

- Sheridan: The Vorlons made an error thousands of years ago and we paid the price for it today. Why encourage anyone else to do the same? Hell, we've got more than enough trouble of our own. We don't need to inherit anyone else's mistakes. We got through it alive, and everyone's okay. That's the important thing. And this isn't the kind of problem that's likely to ever happen again.
- Lyta Alexander: One mistake. One mistake out of so many. So many others.
- Security Chief Zack Allan: You are all in violation of security ordinance 22V3A. That means get the hell out of here!
- Captain John Sheridan: Well, maybe it's a learning experience for you.
- Dr. Elizabeth Trent: If it is, it's a hell of a painful one.
- Captain John Sheridan: Ain't no other kind, Dr. Trent.
