"The Emperor has just finished reviewing your reports from Minbar. He asked
 me to convey his *compliments* on your hard work, even if some parts of it
 do read as if they were written by Ambassador Mollari."
"He advised me on a few things."
"I thought as much. Londo belongs to the old school. He thinks we must be
 protected from the truth. But these are perilous times. We must have accurate
 information about what other worlds are doing. You would do well to follow
 your *own* judgement in future."

"Oh, I heard a new joke. Hehahaahhh. What is more dangerous than a
 locked room full of angry Narns ?"

 angry Narns ?"

"Same thing night after night, one bad dream after another. You know, I
 get the one where your teeth are breaking off or falling out and you wake
 up going aaah!"
"Oh yeah, I know that one."
"Or you are lost in a maze somewhere, or you're someplace I have never been
 before. This morning I dreamt that I walked into C&C totally .. unprepared
 for my work."
"Oh. Interested in little time-honored psychoanalysis ?"
"No, I'll just bury my soul in the breakfast and ask you to give me some
 silver-ware."

"I have already dealt with all that."
"Consciously, but from what you are saying, subconsciously you are still
 trying to work it all through. You don't know where you fit anymore, how
 to define yourself, you are feeling vulnerable, lost, and exposed. It's
 all perfectly obvious and completely understandable."
        -- Ivanova and Sheridan, "Sic Transit Vir"
%%
"It'll pass. Your subconscious just needs to work it all through. Hey, it
 could be worse, you could be having dreams where you are showing up to work
 naked. You would be in real trouble."

"Yes, you can help me. Two hours ago. *Two* hours ago I called you. I told
 you that there is .. a bug, an insect in my quarters."
"Well, we've been a little busy."
"Now, listen to me. I do not like insects. I do not like little *brown*
 *things* with eight legs. I do not like *anything* with eight legs. Well,
 except for the Vinzini, but only because they are terrible at cards.
 Something to do with compound ice, I think. I want this thing *dead* !

"I would like to see you tonight."
"Are you not seeing me now ? I would think that you see me everytime we meet,
 unless I have become translucent or .. insubstantial and nobody has stopped
 to inform me until now."

 instance. Over dinner."
"Tonight ?"

"And how are things at the royal court ?"
"You know, collusion, politicking, scheming, innuendo, gossip. The same
 old thing."

"Yes, sir. Very well."
"Did you tell them I helped with our reports ?"
"No, there was no need to, they noticed it right off."

"Wow. It's quite a view, isn't it ?"
"I know, I can never get enough of it."
"Standing here in front of the stars like this, looking out, down, up,

"Is she all right ?"
"Yes, Lyndisty, my wife. Well, soon to be. You know, it's .. it's done, but
 it's not *really* done .. but it's .. phew .. a long, long story. But, you
 know, at first, you know, I didn't think, but now .. oh, she's .. well. Oh,

"There were other women, but I never got past one."
