Month of July quotes: (note, I will format these later --RC)

"Why, I'm being efficient, sir."
"A few more like you, Vir, and the entire Centauri Republic will efficient itself to extinction."
—Londo and Vir, Grail

  • edit / "We had our orders."

"Mister, I don't care if you had a personal message from God complete with stone tablets. You lied to me. You held information and put this station at risk."
—Bester and Sinclair, Mind War

  • edit / "I was promised a complete investigation."

"You're getting it. I thought there might be something with the Llort. They're pack rats. They collect all sorts of souvenirs for the pure sake of collecting them, but not bodies."

"Keep this up, G'Kar, and soon you won't have a planet to protect."
—G'Kar and Londo, Chrysalis

"I know, I know."
—Sinclair and Ivanova, Signs and Portents

  • edit / "Love? Pah. Overrated. Here, look, these are my three wives: Pestilence, Famine and Death. Do you think I married them for their personalities? Their personalities could shatter entire planets! Arranged marriages, every one, but they worked out. They inspired me. Knowing that they were waiting at home for me is what keeps me here—75 light years away." —Londo, The War Prayer

  • edit / "Who asked you to play God?"

"Every damn patient who comes through that door, that's who! People come to doctors because they want us to be gods. They want us to make it better .. or make it not so. They want to be healed and they come to me when their prayers aren't enough. Well, if I have to take the responsibility, then I claim the authority too. I did good. And we both know it. And no one is going to take that away."
—Sinclair and Franklin, Believers

  • edit / "The last time I gave an interview they told me to just relax and say what I really felt. Ten minutes after the broadcast I got transferred to an outpost so far off the starmaps you couldn't find it with a hunting dog and an Ouija board."

"Don't sweat it. Just be that charming, efflorescent commander we've all come to know and love. What's the worst that could happen? They fire you, ship you off to the Rim and I get promoted to Commander. I don't see a problem here."
—Sinclair and Garibaldi, Infection

  • edit / "Are you Ambassador G'Kar?"

—Tu'Pari and G'Kar, The Parliament of Dreams

"Well, you begin to see my problem."

  • edit / "The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." —G'Kar to Garibaldi, Survivors

  • edit / "Then I'm afraid I have no choice. I'll have to make a deeper inquiry."

"A deeper inquiry?"
"I'm going to have to insist that you all have your stomachs pumped."

"Yes."
"Then listen to the music, not the song."
—Kosh and Talia Winters, Deathwalker

"Lennier!"
"Yes, Londo?"

"Ah, does that mean I won again?"
—Lennier and Londo, The Quality of Mercy
