Answer: Boston

Zack: "Is that what I think it is?"

Garibaldi: "Smith and Wesson .38-caliber revolver! Used to belong to my grandmother back when she was working for the Boston PD."

Zack: "A slug thrower!"

Garibaldi: "A slug thrower!"

Zack: "Hey, uh, can I, uh..."

Garibaldi: "Yeah, sure, sure!"

Zack: "Oh, she's a beaut! You know if they still make ammo for these things?"

Garibaldi: "Yeah, not as much as they used to, since EarthForce went to all PPGs for sidearms. I mean, you're gonna want something that'll burn through flesh without punching a hole in the hull! Back home, it's still used for private security, target practice."

Answer: Centauri Triangle

Zack: "Well, I, uh, I don't know what to make of this one. They had some dead power relays in there last night, and they sent Maintenance down to check it out."

Garibaldi: "Did they fix it?"

Zack: "Yeah."

Garibaldi: "You're right. That is unusual!"

Zack: "Well, not only that, the guy who did the work disappeared!"

Garibaldi: "What do you mean, disappeared? This is a closed station. Where can you go?"

Zack: "Yeah, that's what I said! They found his gear, but no trace of the guy! You want me to look into it?"

Garibaldi: "No. I'll do it. I like mysteries. But I hate Grey Sector. I swear, it's like the Centauri Triangle in there. There's always some thing going wrong."

Answer: Ivanova

Franklin is in full-blown withdrawl from his stim addiction.

Ivanova: "We need the information you gathered on telepaths when you were running the Underground Railroad. We need to find them so that we can put together a tactical core group."

Franklin: "I purged the information from my main computer, but I have a backup. I figured it might come in handy one day."

Ivanova: "Where is it? Stephen?"

Franklin: "I need to be alone, Susan! All right? I can't do what I gotta do if you and Garibaldi are always following me around! So I'm gonna give you what you want, under one condition: Don't send anybody else after me!"

Answer: few pounds

Supervisor: "I'm telling you, it's like he just vanished into thin air!"

Garibaldi: "Thin air. Why is it always thin air? Never fat air, chubby air, mostly fit, could stand to lose a few pounds air?"

Supervisor: "I'm sorry, sir, but that's not my department. Have you got any ideas?"

Garibaldi: "Well, aside from a two week vacation in the Mars Pleasure Dome, not a one!"

Answer: Neroon

Neroon: "The Rangers are commissioned, after a thousand years of silence! The religious caste begins constructing new warships without the knowledge or consent of the warrior caste!"

Delenn: "You chose not to act. Someone had to!"

Neroon: "Perhaps. Which is why we let you have them, in the beginning. Even allowed Sinclair to train them, even though it meant diluting their purity by allowing humans to join alongside our own people! We were quite tolerant of your activities. But now their training is complete, they require new leadership! By right of tradition, the warrior caste should be given command of the Rangers! That was the law as set down by Valen. Three castes: worker, religious, warrior. They build, you pray, we fight!"

Delenn: "You violated that law when the warrior caste became dominant in the Grey Council."

Neroon: "But the Grey Council no longer exists. You disbanded it! So what do we have now, Delenn? You have undergone the transformation promised by Valen, broken the Council and created a vacuum of power. And now, as an eminent leader in the religious caste, you plan to take command of a military force and fill that vacuum yourself!"

Delenn: "I have no desire to rule our people."

Neroon: "I wish I could believe you, Delenn, but I don't. A religious zealot propelled by prophecy into a position of military and political power? Always a bad idea! Out of respect, I give you this opportunity to walk away from the path you have taken. Refuse the position of Ranger One and turn control of the Rangers over to the warrior caste, where it belongs!"

Delenn: "Or?"

Neroon: "I am sworn to stop you, Delenn, by any and all means necessary!"

Answer: Marcus

Lennier: "I'm trying to avoid breaking a promise, by breaking a promise. I promised Delenn that I would not speak of this to the Captain or let him know. She did not mention you by name, but that was implicit. If I tell the others in the chain of command, then Sheridan will find out, and I will have broken the promise. But if I break my promise by telling you, since you are not in the chain of command, he may not find out about this and I will not have broken the promise."

Marcus: "I'm in awe, Lennier! The way you can take a straightforward logical proposition and turn it inside out so that in the end, it says what you want it to say, instead of what it actually means! Did this come naturally, or did you attend some special martial arts class for the philosophically inclined?"

Answer: Jeremiah

Garibaldi: "I don't suppose this is the best time to point out you're all under arrest."

Man: "Consider the hand. Veins, capillaries, muscles, cells. Moons, stars, planets, galaxies. All trapped inside ephemeral, translucent flesh! The palm! We have lines. We have signs. We have shapes, equations! All creation in a hangnail! My name is Jeremiah. Welcome to the end of the world!"

Answer: She joined a Minbari convent.

John: "You know, you've never talked much about your life back home. You never even talk about your family."

Delenn: "It would be difficult to explain to a non-Minbari. After I was born, my mother entered the Sisters of Valeria. I have seen her only twice since."

John: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Delenn: "No! No, it's a great honor! I miss her greatly, but it is her wish!"

John: "And your father?"

Delenn: "He passed beyond the veil ten years ago. To see us making war against your people broke his heart. The thing I remember about him ... When I was a child, he would take me with him to temple. He carried me on his shoulder, so that I could see everything! One day, I came outside with him to go to temple, and he said, 'I'm sorry, Delenn, but you are too big now for me to carry you.' I realized then, my father would never again carry me in his arms. I felt such loss! And I knew for the first time that someday I would lose him. Then I looked in his eyes, and I saw that he was thinking the same thing. I don't think I ever loved him more than at that moment!"

Answer: Minbari

Jeremiah: "You see, my friend, the universe is sentient, aware, alive! Now, the Minbari understand this. Oh, yes, they understand completely! That is why they nearly defeated us in the war, you know because they are closer to the truth than we are! The truth strengthens us, ennobles us, sets us free!"

Garibaldi: "Speaking of getting free, there has to be a way out of here!"

Jeremiah: "Pressure doors are welded shut; the tube is disabled. We, uh, tap into the recycling system and purify it. We're all recycled, you know. Just, uh, molecules and atoms born in the stars and, uh, recycled into carbon-based life. Why do you think we have spent millions of years trying to understand the stars, the moons, and - and the universe itself? Hmm? Hmm? Huh, because we are the universe! The universe made manifest! It broke itself into pieces to examine every aspect of its being! We try to understand it because in so doing, well, we will understand ourselves! So we have come here and we've isolated ourselves in order to attain a purity of thought! Because purity of form and purity of intent, purity of execution, that is the only way! The only way the door will open!

Answer: Durhan

Marcus: "So, you must be Neroon!"

Neroon: "You shouldn't get involved in things that don't concern you. My quarrel is with Delenn!"

Marcus: "Then your quarrel is with me."

Neroon: "Do you have any idea who I am?"

Marcus: "I do. But the only way you will get to her is through me. I invoke denn-cha!"

Neroon: "To the death? During the war, I killed fifty thousand of you. What's one more?... [They fight] ... Not bad, for a beginner! Last chance! I was taught the pike by Durhan himself!"

Marcus: "Really? So was I!"

Neroon: "You're a fool! But if this is what you wish, then denn-cha it shall be! To the death!"

Answer: live die

Neroon: "Ah, this is foolish! A waste of material! Once denn-cha is invoked, I cannot surrender, but you are not Minbari! Step aside and I will pretend that you ran away, changed your mind. No one will know!"

Marcus: "I am a Ranger! We walk in the dark places no others will enter! We stand on the bridge and no one may pass! We live for The One! We die for The One!"

Neroon: "I've just broken two of your ribs! Sorry. Make that three! Why? Why all of this? Pride? Duty? You've been trained well, but you must have known you couldn't win! So why do it?"

Marcus: "For her! We live for The One! We die ... for The One! Entil'zha veni! In Valen's name!"

Answer: Zarg

Jeremiah: "The only way out is, is to find a purity of purpose, a purity of thought, a purity of belief, you see! That is the door! The door of the mind! The way! The way out! But, you see, the body must also have a way out. A way out that is equally pure!"

Garibaldi: "Start making sense! Now!"

Jeremiah: "I am! Now, if we are the universe, then the universe must consume us in an act of absolute purity! Now, within the universe, we have a perfect predator! No instinct, no thought, except for the hunt! Living perfection! When it is our time, we choose to return to the universe through that perfection! Through the Zarg!"

Garibaldi: "Zarg? You have a Zarg in here? Are you nuts? That's one of the most dangerous aliens in the whole sector!"

Answer: uncomfortable

Neroon: "Denn-cha, you said. To the death. And death there was. The death was mine! To see a human invoke the name of Valen to be willing to die for one of my kind, when I was intent upon killing one of my own the rightness of my cause disappeared! Strange, that a human in his last moments should be more of a Minbari than I! Perhaps it is true what Delenn said: that we are not of the same blood, but we are of the same heart!"

Marcus: "Next time you want a revelation could you possibly find a way that isn't quite so uncomfortable?"

Answer: Sheridan

Garibaldi: "Captain. You wouldn't believe the day I've had!"

Sheridan: "The day you've had? We had an assault on Marcus, someone got into the Ranger ceremony, could've killed Delenn! And where were you?"

Garibaldi: "Okay. Well, first, there was this missing maintenance man, only he wasn't missing. He was killed by a Zarg, but I'm getting ahead of myself. That was after I found out that the entire 17th floor of Grey Sector had completely disappeared! Well, not disappeared exactly. This weird cult had taken over the place, see? And there was a dummy that shot tranqs out of its eyes. It's very strange! But it was all supposed to be perfect! That was the thing about it! There wasn't a way out, but there was! Except it was spiritual! And you had to die a perfect death! That's where the Zarg came in, and either it was gonna kill me or I was gonna kill it and ... Am I going too fast for you?"
