- [after Byron tries to blackmail the Alliance council]
- Michael Garibaldi: Never, ever, ever trust a telepath. I swear to you, I'm gonna have that tattooed inside my eyelids.
- Londo Mollari: I've known the regent since the first time I came to the Royal Court. He doesn't drink. He cultivated sobriety as his only vice. A break with conventional, accepted behavior.
- [last lines]
- Byron: You could go, Lyta.
- Lyta Alexander: I don't want to.
- Byron: We can hold them off for a day. Two days, maybe three. No more. There will come a moment when I will ask you to leave me behind. When that moment comes you must do exactly as I say. Promise me that, Lyta. Promise me.
- [Much to the disaproval of the court, Londo returns to Centauri Prime with G'Kar as his Narn bodyguard]
- Minister Vole: Mollari! This business has gone far enough. The palace guard should be protection enough for anyone. To bring one of those in here is a slap in the face to every Centauri who's given his life guarding the palace. And it recklessly endangers everyone here.
- Londo Mollari: Endangers? How?
- Minister Vole: Narns are barbarians. Primitives. Turn your back on them for a second, they'll stick a knife in it.
- G'Kar: A Narn would never stab a centauri in the back. It has always been our tradition to go for the chest. That way you can see the life go out of their eyes as they fall.
- Londo Mollari: G'kar.
- G'Kar: Just doing my best in the interests of accuracy.

- President John Sheridan: All right, what's wrong now?
- Michael Garibaldi: This is my analysis of the latest reports from the Rangers. We've had a major increase in attacks against shipping lines of Alliance worlds in the recent weeks.
- President John Sheridan: Hit-and-run attacks, very efficient. No survivors, no warning.
