Franklin: "I recommend iron supplements and an increased diet -- uh, food plan -- to replenish your system."
Ivanova [looking at the plan]: "I'll gain weight!"
Franklin: "Briefly, yes."
Ivanova: "Figures. All my life I've fought against Imperialism. Now, suddenly, I _am_ the expanding Russian frontier."
Franklin: "But with very nice borders."
Sheridan [to Ivanova]: "They have turned me into a bureaucrat, a politician! And I tell you one thing. If the primates we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea."
Delenn: "I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebulae outside that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star stuff. We _are_ the universe... Made manifest... Trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective."
Sheridan [sighing in agreement]: "Yeah."
Garibaldi [referring to the Bagna Cauda]: "Trust me, doc. You are gonna love this."
Franklin: "I can feel my arteries hardening just being in the same room with it."
Notes:
- It's Garibaldi's birthday, and he's having Bagna Cauda against doctor's orders.
- Captain Jack Maynard tells Sheridan of his encounter with a 'strange' vessel out on the Rim.
- Maynard affectionately calls Sheridan Swamp Rat.
- Zeta Squadron encounters a Shadow vessel in hyperspace while rescuing the stranded Cortez, an Explorer class ship.
- Ivanova promotes Lieutenant Keffer to Squad Leader subsequent to Commander Ray Galus's death during the Cortez rescue mission.
