Sinclair: "Ready?"
Delenn: "Why is it that your people always ask someone if they are ready right before you are about to do something massively unwise?"
Sinclair: "Tradition."

Dr. Stephen Franklin: "I realize that I always defined myself in terms of what I wasn't. I wasn't a good soldier like my father. I wasn't the job. I wasn't a good prospect for marriage or kids. Always what I wasn't, never what I was. And when you do that, you miss the moments. And the moments are all we've got. When I thought I was going to die, even after everything that's happened, I realized I didn't want to let go. I was willing to do it all over again, and this time I could appreciate the moments. I can't go back, but I can appreciate what I have right now. And I can define myself by what I am instead of what I'm not."
Captain John Sheridan: "And what are you?"
Dr. Stephen Franklin: "Alive. Everything else is negotiable."
And the week continues.
