Babylon 5: The Lost Tales (2007)

Bruce Boxleitner: President John Sheridan

Quotes 

• Sheridan's Secretary : Mr. President, the ISN reporter is asking to see you... again.

  John Sheridan : Tell her I'm dead and throw her down the stairs.

  Sheridan's Secretary : Sir?

• John Sheridan : So any of the old gang coming in for this shindig?

  Colonel Elizabeth Lochley : Some. Talked to Garibaldi, he's gonna try to come, but he's dealing with some situation on Mars.

  John Sheridan : And Stephen?

  Colonel Elizabeth Lochley : Oh, I thought you heard. Dr. Franklin went with G'Kar, exploring beyond the Rim. You know how he is, he'll take any chance to explore new territory before anyone can get there.

  John Sheridan : Heh. That's too bad. I'll miss him.

• Prince Regent Dius Vintari : Anyway, Emperor Mollari thought I'd be safer with you. He said "I would trust Sheridan with my life."

  John Sheridan : Well, that's -...

  Prince Regent Dius Vintari : Then he corrected himself and said he would trust you with *my* life, because he had plans for next week. Then he left the room, laughing.

  John Sheridan : [chuckles]  Oh, he always did have a sense of humor.

• Galen : There is hope, but it is at best a slim hope.

  John Sheridan : Yeah, well I've never known hope when it wasn't on a diet.

• ISN reporter : You don't like reporters, do you?

  John Sheridan : Of course I do... properly cooked.

• John Sheridan : And where's your camera?

  ISN reporter : [points to a button on her jacket]  Right here. My director said it would help make sure people would look at the camera... a lot.

• ISN reporter : [as they're about to enter quantum space]  Wouldn't normal hyperspace be good enough to...

  John Sheridan : No, no, no. We'd never make it in time. As I was saying, the first time some folks make the jump to quantum space they just puke their guts out... fouling themselves in the most awful ways you can imagine.

  ISN reporter : Mr. Presiden, I - I

  John Sheridan : Here we go.

  [the ship enters quantum space] 

  John Sheridan : The problem isn't that I only give two interviews a year Miss Chambers. The *problem* is that so few reporters ever seem to come back for seconds.

  [pause] 

  John Sheridan : Was that a new dress?

• [first lines of "Over There"] 

  Man : [over radio]  Mr. President, your ship is here.

  John Sheridan : Be right there.

  John Sheridan : Ten years. Ten years since the world changed. Ten years since I changed. Ten years of press conferences, politics, and arm-twisting. Every day, someone points me to the big picture. Every day, I wonder if I'm missing the small picture, the details.

• [last lines] 

  John Sheridan : Ten years. Ten years since the world changed. Ten years since I changed. But it feels like I never left the place. Babylon 5 is a place of beginnings and endings. I wonder which this will be.
