Quotes 

• John Sheridan : Goodnight, my love... the brightest star in my sky.

  Delenn : Goodnight, you, who were my sky, and my sun, and my moon.

• John Sheridan : A toast... to absent friends, in memory still bright.

  Michael Garibaldi : [Everyone raises their glasses]  G'Kar.

  Vir Cotto : Londo.

  Delenn : Lennier.

  Dr. Stephen Franklin : Mar...

  Susan Ivanova : [cutting off Franklin]  Marcus.

• Vir Cotto : You know, Londo never liked the Pak'ma'ra. I mean, they're stubborn, lazy, obnoxious, greedy...

  Michael Garibaldi : Kinda look like an octopus that got run over by a truck.

  Vir Cotto : That, too... but one day Londo and I were walking past their quarters... and we heard them... singing.

  John Sheridan : Singing? They can sing?

  Dr. Stephen Franklin : There's nothing about that in the literature.

  Vir Cotto : Apparently it's something they only do certain times of the year as part of their religious ceremonies. You may not believe this but it was the most beautiful sound I ever heard. I couldn't make out the words but I knew that it was full of sadness and hope and wonder and a terrible sense of loss. I looked at Londo and, this is the amazing part, there was a tear running down his face. I said, "Londo, we should leave. I mean, this is upsetting you." But he just stood there and listened. And when it was over he turned to me and he said, "There are 49 gods in our pantheon, Vir. To tell you the truth, I never believed in any of them. But if only one of them exists, then god sings with that voice." It's funny... after everything we have been through, all he did... I miss him.

• Delenn : [Delenn has followed her husband, John Sheridan, out on a balcony after he got out of bed]  Hello.

  John Sheridan : [Sheridan, lost in thought while gazing at the view from the balcony, turns to face Delenn]  Well, I thought you were going back to sleep.

  Delenn : I decided to go out in search of the same air molecules you were looking for. On the theory that, if they were good enough to lure you out of our bed, I should investigate my competition.

  John Sheridan : [laughingly scoffs]  You've never had competition.
