Londo Mollari: The Council can go to hell! And the emergency session can go to hell! And you, Vir, you can go to hell too—I would not want you to feel left out.

-------------

Londo: This is intolerable!
G'Kar: Strange, we thought the same thing when you invaded our world. The wheel turns, does it not, Ambassador?

[Vir pleads with Londo for a young star-crossed Centauri couple.]
Vir Cotto: But they love each other!
Londo Mollari: Love. Pah! Overrated. [Londo fetches a set of three pictures of Centauri women.]
Londo: Here. Look. These are my three wives: Pestilence, Famine, and Death. . . .
Londo: They inspired me! Knowing that they were waiting for me is what keeps me here — 75 light-years away.

--------------------------------------

[Londo vents his frustrations over trying to understand humans to Delenn and Draal.]
Londo: These Earthers! I try to find out as much as I can about them to try to make some sense of them, but it never seems to come together.
Delenn: They do seem to be a mass of contradictions.
Londo: Exactly my point! Here–six thousand years of recorded history, a history that includes remarkable composers, astonishing symphonies! But what is the one song that half of them sing to their children generation after generation?

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out.
You put your whole self in,
And you turn yourself about.
You do the hokey-pokey,
You give a little shout.
That's what it's all about!

It doesn't mean anything! I have been studying it for seven days! I had the computer analyze it! I swear to you, it does not mean a thing!


Delenn: We've come at a bad time, haven't we?

I could come up with dozens of quotes from Heinlein. But Instead I'll go with one whose source I forget:

Think of it as Evolution in Action.

 

[Swordslingerchristaintwo]

(Scene from Neon Genesis Evangelion.)

Ritsuko: It's breaking free!
Makoto: Free of what?
Ritsuko: Those plates weren't just armor, they were also restraints. Those bindings allowed us to control it. But now the Eva is removing the web that binds it to our will. The beast inside the Eva is free at last!

This is space. It's sometimes called the final frontier. (Except that of course you can't have a *final* frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier *to*, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate...)
- Terry Pratchett

"I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
- Roy Batty in "Blade Runner"

"Step up to red alert."
"Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb."
- Rimmer & Kryten, "Red Dwarf"
