[last lines]
Captain John Sheridan : What does the candle represent?
Delenn : Life.
Captain John Sheridan : Whose Life?
Delenn : All Life. Every Life. We are all born as molecules in the hearts of a billion stars. Molecules that do not understand politics or policies or differences. Over a billion years, we foolish molecules forget who we are and where we came from. In desperate acts of ego, we give ourselves names, fight over lines on maps, and pretend that our light is better than everyone else's. The flame reminds us of the piece of those stars that lives on inside us. The spark that tells us: "You should know better." The flame also reminds us that life is precious as each flame is unique. When it goes out, it's gone forever. And there will never be another quite like it. So many candles will got out tonight. I wonder some days if we can see anything at all.

[G'Kar tells Delenn that he plans to accompany Londo to Centauri and act as Bodyguard again]
Delenn : Have you told him this yet?
G'Kar : No, I was thinking of making it a surprise. I even booked the seat right next to his. It will give me someone to talk to during the flight.
Delenn : Londo once told me he hates it when people talk to him on long flights. He prefers to sleep.
G'Kar : I know.
