• [Garabaldi has reset the command codes and rebooted the computer] 

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : God, I hate this part. I'm always afraid I've broken something.

  Michael Garabaldi : It'll be fine. I've done this before.

  [the computer restarts] 

  Michael Garabaldi : Ah, Told ya. Computer

  [pause] 

  Michael Garabaldi : Computer?

  Sparky the Computer : Hey, what do you want?

  Michael Garabaldi : Run diagnostics.

  Sparky the Computer : What, you got a broken arm or something? I got a station to run here!

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Computer.

  Sparky the Computer : I know, do a diagnostic. So, maybe Level 42 doesn't get its quota of oxygen today because I'm distracted, but if it makes you happy!

  Michael Garabaldi : Stop!

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Garabaldi?

  Michael Garabaldi : I just remembered, they tried to install Artificial Intelligence subroutines when the station went operational. They shut it down right away because it didn't work right. Must have come back on-line when the system re-booted.

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Great! How do we shut it down?

  Sparky the Computer : I heard that! Are you two easily offended, or what?

• Capt. John Sheridan : [the command staff visits Delenn in Medlab, one by one]  Hello, Delenn. You know, I was thinking -- if you couldn't come to the Rebirth 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. What I've never told anyone before now... when you were in my arms, I was ready to kill that guy with my bare hands. I realized I never told you how much I care 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. I'm glad it did.

  [Sheridan leaves, Garibaldi enters] 

  Michael Garabaldi : No one knows... I'm afraid all the time -- what I might do if I ever let go.

  [Garibaldi leaves, Ivanova enters] 

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : I think I... loved... Talia.

  [Ivanova leaves, Franklin enters] 

  Dr. Stephen Franklin : I, uh... think I have a problem.

• [the command staff have used their command code passwords to reset the station's computer system] 

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Peekaboo?

  Michael Garabaldi : Would you have guessed it?

• [first lines] 

  [Several transports are leaving B5] 

  Capt. John Sheridan : Are those the last of the Nightwatch?

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Well, it's the last batch we could find. Garibaldi's still trying to track down the rest. The others are civilians heading back for Earth, Mars, and the colonies on Proxima and Orion.
