"My dear G'Kar. How can I ever thank you? You have saved my career, and the honor of the entire Centauri Republic."

"If it's about me wearing those little-- I appreciate the gift and I didn't say I wouldn't wear them, I just said that .. for me, from a Minbari perspective, I thought that it looked silly."

"Of course it is, for the simple reason that no one else would've ever built a place like this. Humans share one unique quality. They build communities. If the Narns or the Centauri or any other race built a station like this, it would be used only by their own people, but everywhere humans go, they create communities out of diverse and sometimes hostile populations. It is a great gift and a terrible responsibility, one that cannot be abandoned."

"Did you know we assigned one of our best pain technicians -- pain technicians, they used to be called torturers, ever since they got organized it's 'pain technicians' -- Why are you here? One of our very best torturers, I felt certain he would break him. Two hours he worked, not a sound. I said: 'Give me a cry, give me a shout, a whimper, a scream.' Silence! So, I got to it myself. You can't leave these things to others, they never get it right! And well, you can see for yourself. If I didn't know better, I would say he was a mute. Silence! I'm beginning to understand what you're going through with this G'Kar. How you put up with this at all, I have no idea."

"And another great price must now be paid, in the form of reparations which will come close to ruining our economy. They wish ... to teach us a lesson."

"Now, if I may ask, does this torment end when you leave, or am I going to have to spend the rest of my life paying for one little mistake?"

[Jan]

Well, it's a small enough price to pay for immortality.

"If I fall, another will take my place. And another. And another."

[Jan]

"Oh, I'm afraid you have to spend the rest of your life paying for your mistakes. Not this one of course, it's trivial, I have withdrawn the spell, but there will be others."

"If I fall, another will take my place. And another. And another."
