Sheridan, "The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night.

G'Kar, "I searched for days, going from one system to another. Then, on dark deserted worlds, where there should be no life, where no living thing has walked in over a thousand years, something is moving, gathering its forces, quietly, quietly... hoping to go unnoticed. We must warn the others, Na'Toth. After a thousand years, the darkness has come again."

Vir, "Londo, don't do this."
Londo, "I have no choice."
Vir, "Yes, you do. Londo, please, please, please, I know you don't listen to me, but I'm asking you just this one time. Don't do this. There is no turning back once you start down that road."
Londo, "Do I have to go find him myself?"
Vir, "No.. No, I'll go. I'll go and I'll bring him back. And someday, I'll remind you of this conversation, and maybe then, then you understand."

The Last Time, the Shadows Lost
In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, 77k, 19s
Delenn, "The last time the Shadows lost they moved too quickly. Now, they are being careful, gathering their forces slowly. If you push Morden, sooner or later, he will tell you what happened. Then he will be killed. And you will be killed. The Shadows will move now, before we're ready for them."

There Are Beings in the Universe
In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, 135k, 34s
Delenn, "There are beings in the universe billions of years older than either of our races. Once, long ago, they walked among the stars like giants, vast and timeless.

Some passed beyond the stars, never to return. Some simply disappeared."

What Do You Want - Vir
In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, 83k, 21s
Morden, "What do you want?"
Vir, "I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations, that some favors come at too high a price. I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave just like this. Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

When the Shadows Come Again
In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, 261k, 1min 6s
Delenn, "Not all of the First Ones have gone away. A few stayed behind, hidden or asleep, waiting for the day when they may be needed...when the Shadows come again."
Sheridan, "Shadows?"
Delenn, "We have no other name for them. The Shadows were old when even the Ancients were young. They battled one another over and over across a million years. The last great war against the Shadows was ten thousand years ago. It was the last time the Ancients walked openly among us. The Shadows were only defeated, not destroyed. A thousand years ago, the Shadows returned to their places of power, rebuilt them, and began to stretch forth their hand. Before they could strike, they were defeated by an alliance of worlds, including the Minbari... and the few remaining First Ones who had not yet passed beyond the Veil. When they had finished, the First Ones went away... all but one."

There must be one fortress of light to stand against the darkness. That place is this place, it must be protected at any cost."

We Have Had Our Problems in the Past
The Long, Twilight Struggle, 258k, 1min 5s
Sheridan, "G'Kar, I know we have had our problems in the past. I can't imagine going into the council chambers and not seeing you there. Straight, tall, ready to argue with anyone about anything. I don't know I ... I don't think I want to go the next ten years without your insight or your words. For what it's worth, every resource that I have, every contact, anyway that I can help you win back your planet, it's yours."
G'Kar, "The last time I offered someone my hand, we were at war 24 hours later."

We Will Be Free
The Long, Twilight Struggle, 190k, 48s
G'Kar, "No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power governments and tyrants, and armies can not stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, WE WILL BE FREE."

We Have Sent For an Inquisitor
Comes the Inquisitor, 57k, 14s

Every Race Saw Something Different
The Fall of Night, 160k, 40s
Sheridan, "The whole station's talking about what happened. Every race that was in the garden saw something different... yet the same. A being of light."
Delenn, "Yes. Each according to his or her type."
Sheridan, "But it was Kosh, wasn't it? That's what he meant when he said that if he left his encounter suit, he'd be recognized by... everybody."
Delenn, "For millions of years, the Vorlons have visited other worlds, guided them and..."
Sheridan, "Manipulated us? Programmed us so that... when we saw them, we would react the right way?"
Delenn, "It is, as you say, a matter of perspective."

I Saw it Too
The Fall of Night, 83k, 21s
Keffer, "Ghost."
Starfury pilot, "I don't have .."
Keffer, "It was jet black. A shade of black so deep your eye just slides off it. It shimmered when you looked at it. A spider big as death and twice as ugly. When it flies past, it's like hear screaming in your mind. I saw it too."

Season 2 Epilogue
The Fall of Night, 257k, 1min 5s
Ivanova, "It was the end of the Earth year 2259, and the war was upon us. As anticipated, a few days after the Earth-Centauri treaty was announced, the Centauri widened their war to include many of the Non-Aligned Worlds. And there was another war brewing closer to home, a personal one whose cost would be higher than any of us could imagine."
Ivanova, "We came to this place because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. By the end of 2259, we knew that it had failed. But in so doing, it became something greater. As the war expanded, it became our last best hope... for victory. Because sometimes, peace is another word for surrender. And because secrets have a way of getting out."
