Answer: Nafak'cha

Part of the same rebirth ceremony was performed by Delenn in the episode "The Parliament of Dreams".

Answer: Sparky

Here are some fun interactions with Sparky the AI.

Garibaldi: "Computer?"

Sparky: "Hey, what are you looking at?"

Garibaldi: "Run diagnostics."

Sparky: "What you got, a broken arm or something? I've got a station to run here."

Ivanova: "Computer!"

Sparky: "Fine, I'll do a diagnostic. So maybe level 42 doesn't get it's quota of oxygen for today."

...

Sparky [to Garibaldi]: "You know, you're looking very stressed. This is not good. Hey how about something to eat, maybe a nice piece of brisket. You'll suck an orange."

Garibaldi: "Would somebody please fix this thing, before I go out of my mind?"

...

Sparky [through speaker in elevator]: "Uh, not that my bruised feelings would have any meaning for you, but why are you having these people poke me all over the place. I'm a perfectly reasonable artificial personality. Nobody has ever complained before, but I guess some people just aren't happy unless they are messing it up for everyone else. You know you really should stand up straight. Your mother and I have been worried about this for years. We have been trying to talk with you about it, but..." [Garibaldi shoots the speaker]

Answer: He loves Delenn

Lennier: "My love for, Delenn, is not quite what you may think. It is not romantic love as you consider it. It is something higher and nobler, a pure perfect love if you will." ... "I know that Delenn is fated for another, and I have accepted that, in my heart. But I have vowed to stay at her side through all things for as long as I live."

Answer: True

Although in "Severed Dreams" Sheridan said that he would not put on his uniform until after the trouble with Earth has been resolved, Sheridan does put on his uniform for the funeral ceremony honoring the those who died during the previous battle.

Answer: twelve

Londo attempts to convince Refa that working with Morden is ultimately going to weaken and destroy Centauri Prime, but Refa only sees the power that Morden is offering.

Londo: "Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts."

Refa: "We can handle it. Our resources are greater than you think."

Answer: Break off his relationship with Mr. Morden.

Londo: "Mr. Morden and his associates worry me. After the Narns were defeated, I took steps to put some distance between us. Refa, I have the feeling that he and his associates are carving a great, dark hole in the middle of the universe. And when they go down, anyone nearby will go with them."

Refa: "That will not happen. You don't appreciate their strength."

Londo: "I appreciate their strength all right. And that is why this unfocused aggression worries me. By drawing our forces into a dozen smaller wars you have effectively weakened our main line of defense, should they turn an eye to Centauri Prime."

Refa: "They will not do that."

Londo: "No, they will not, because you are going to take steps to prevent it. And you start by breaking off your relationship with Mr. Morden."

Answer: poisoned your drink

Refa: "Oh, Londo, you are a fool. You walk away from the greatest power I have ever seen, and now you expect me to do the same. They are the key to my eventual rise to the throne. Why would I abandon them?"

Londo: "Because I have asked you. And because your loyalty to our people should be greater than your ambition. And because I have poisoned your drink. ... Your drink contained the first half of the poison."

Refa: "Why? Why did you do this?"

Londo: "To guarantee your coperation. And because, sooner or later you would do it to me. Yes, we are returning to the old ways, Refa. And poison was always the instrument of choice in the old Republic. Being something of a sentimentalist, I got here first."

Refa: "What do you want me to do?"

Londo: "You have encouraged that fool Cartagia to attack worlds that have no value to us. You will now encourage him otherwise. You will bolster our lines of defense around Centauri Prime. And you will have nothing more to do with Mr. Morden. If you do not comply, one of my agents in the royal palace will introduce you to the second half of the poison. To your health, Lord Refa."

Answer: wake up

Marcus takes it upon himself to rescue Delenn. In his zealous questioning of possible witnesses/informants he knocks all of them senseless.

Thug: "I thought we had an understanding. We don't bother you, you don't bother us."

Marcus: "That was before a close friend of mine was abducted by some very bad people. Being rather bad people yourselves, it occurs to me one of you might know where she is."

Thug: "We don't talk to security, why should we talk to you?"

Marcus: "Because if you don't, then in five minutes I'll be the only person at this table still standing. Five minutes after that, I'll be the only person in this room still standing. So, who's in?" ... [Marcus acts on his threat] ... Marcus: "Oh bugger, now I have to wait for someone to wake up."

Answer: Dem Bones

Sniper: "Toebone's connected to the footbone, footbone's connected to the anklebone, the anklebone's connected to the legbone, legbone's connected to the hipbone, now hear the word of the Lord."

Answer: spiders

Delenn: "You've been nervous about this ever since I mentioned it. What are you afraid of?"

Marcus: "Nothing. Well, spiders."

Delenn: "Marcus, the rebirth ceremony was part of your training on Minbar."

Marcus: "I missed it, overslept."

Delenn: "It lasts all day."

Marcus: "Oh, that's right, I was ill. Wanted to go...couldn't. Same as now. Love to, can't really, next time. Ah, someone I have been waiting for."

Answer: G'Kar

G'Kar: "I'll try and stop by for the closing ceremonies."

Lennier: "What matters is everything leading up to that point. Leaving behind the old, preparing to be reborn."

G'Kar: "I have already been born once, and quite sufficiently, I think."

Answer: Being alive

Marcus: "Everything I was, everything I had, all of it died that night. I don't have anything left to give."

Delenn: "And that is exactly what you must give up. Yes, you have lost much, endured much, sacrificed greatly, but you cling to the memory of your sacrifices, of all the things you have lost or left behind. They drag behind you, like chains of your own making. They can have a terrible power over you, Marcus. The power of grief, and loss, and regret. Yes, you have let go of the people, the places, the things, but you have not let go of the pain. You have not forgiven yourself."

Marcus: "For what?"

Delenn: "Being alive."

Answer: Knife thrown at her back

Delenn gets a knife thrown in her back by one of the Nightwatch thugs. In anger and frustration, Sheridan gave chase and beat the guy to a pulp.

Answer: Sheridan: "I'm falling in love with you, Delenn."

Sheridan and the other officers bring the rebirth ceremony to Delenn in medlab.

Sheridan: "Hello Delenn. Now, I was thinking, since you couldn't come to the ceremony, the ceremony should come to you. I've given up something that really mattered to me, the uniform and everything that goes with it. I've never told anyone before now. When you were hurt, when you were in my arms, I was ready to kill that guy with my bare hands. I realized I have never told you how much I cared about you, how much you mean to me. I think it's time you knew that. I can no longer imagine my world...without you in it. I don't...know exactly when or how it happened...but I'm glad it did."

Garibaldi: "No one knows, but...I'm afraid all the time...what I might do if I ever let go."

Ivanova: "I think I loved Talia."

Franklin: "I...think I have a problem."
