Quotes 

• Ambassador Vir Cotto : Prophecy is a guess that comes true. When it doesn't, it's a metaphor.

• Lennier : What kind of drink is that?

  Ambassador Vir Cotto : I'm not sure. The bartender called it a 'Shirley Temple'.

  Lennier : Interesting. I've studied many earth religions and I don't think I've ever heard of that particular temple.

  Ambassador Vir Cotto : Me neither. But, it's real good.

  Lennier : Well then. I shall make a point to visit it on my next trip to earth.

• Ambassador Vir Cotto : You couldn't sleep either.

  Lennier : No. I heard about your situation.

  Ambassador Vir Cotto : I heard about yours. As Mr. Garibaldi would say: "It's been one hell of a day".

  Lennier : Yes, a hell of a day.

  Ambassador Vir Cotto : And a hell of a year.

  Lennier : A hell of a five years.

  Ambassador Vir Cotto : A hell of a life.

  Lennier : You win.

• Londo Mollari : I know what the doctor said. It was my heart that betrayed me, not my ears.

  Ambassador Vir Cotto : You are going to have to change your diet, Londo, and you have to cut back on the stress.

  Londo Mollari : Yes, well, that doesn't seem very likely as long as I am still here, yes? And if I go home, there is even more stress. So there you are. No, Vir, the universe is an evil place. But at least it seems to have a sense of humor about the whole thing.
