'You don't understand.
This is my ceremonial blade.'

I am a pilgrim here for
the sacred day of Chu'Dag.

I don't care
if you're the Easter bunny.

You're not bringing this
on the station.

The maker of all things
will not permit this.

He will allow nothing to stand
between me and the blade.

Yeah? Tell you what..

I'll tie this to
magnetic grapple

stick it on the station's hull

and point you to the nearest
air lock.

'If you can go after it
without a breathing unit'

you can have it.

You test my faith.

And you're testing my patience.

Now move on before
I decide to flunk out.

Man, I can't believe we got

five more days of this
to live through.

Don't blame me.
Blame Earth Central.

'Say, "We've got an idea.'

"How about an entire week where
every alien species on Babylon 5

"was encouraged to demonstrate
their dominant religious belief?

"It'll advance the cause of
interplanetary peace

and understanding."

As bright ideas go

this one's right up there with

having my gums extracted.

(male on PA)
'Earth transport Spinoza
will depart in one hour'

'from Dock Area-Nine.'

'All Earth-bound passengers must
have tickets and passports..'

- Never fails.
- Chief?

Nothin'. Take over,
I've got a few things to do.

[door beeping]

Yes?

[door whirs]

Are you Ambassador G'Kar?

This is Ambassador G'Kar's
quarters.

This is Ambassador G'Kar's
table.

This is Ambassador G'Kar's
dinner.

Which part of this progression
escapes you?

My apologies.

I am Diplomatic Courier Tu'Pari.

I just arrived on a ship
from homeworld.

I was told to give this
only to Ambassador G'Kar.

Well, leave it.
I'll look at it later.

[chuckles]
I was told it was important.

Yes, I'm sure you were.

[door whirs]

You stay put.

Oh!

[sighing]

[monitor beeping]

Greetings, Ambassador G'Kar.

It's been a long time,
but I doubt

you've forgotten
your old associate, Du'Rog.

I bring what you doubtless
will consider good news..

- I am dying.
- About time.

In fact, by the time you get
this recording

'I will already be dead.'

Cheers.

Ah, but then, very shortly,
so will you.

[intense music]

(male narrator)
It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind..

Ten years after
the Earth-Minbari War.

The Babylon Project
was a dream given form.

Its goal, to prevent another
war by creating a place

where humans and aliens

could work out their
differences peacefully.

It's a port of call,
home away from home

for diplomats, hustlers

entrepreneurs and wanderers.

Humans and aliens,
wrapped in 2,500,000 tons

of spinning metal

all alone in the night.

It can be a dangerous place.

But it's our last,
best hope for peace.

This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.

The year is 2258.

The name of the place
is Babylon 5.

[theme music]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

(Du'Rog)
This should come as
no surprise, G'Kar.

You ruined my family's name

and humiliated me
before the council.

Retribution was inevitable.

'Ah, but retribution is also
expensive.'

'Properly executed,
it would leave me penniless.'

'But I am a patient man.'

I've lived well,
and now I will die well.

I have ordered my considerable
assets liquidated upon my death.

The funds will be given
to someone

eminently qualified to kill you.

'You will be dead
within 48 hours'

of receiving this message.

Already my agent is
close to you.

'You will not know
who or how or where'

'until it is too late.'

It pleases me to know that
you will live in fear, G'Kar.

But not for long.

[Du'Rog chuckling]

Someone close to me?

[door beeping]

(G'Kar)
'Come.'

[door whirs]

Diplomatic attache Na'Toth,
reporting for duty.

Your new aide, ambassador.

[door beeping]

(Jeffrey)
'Come.'

[door whirs]

Commander.

Garibaldi, I thought you'd be
in full dress by now.

Londo's going to host
a demonstration of

Centauri religious ceremonies.

From what I've heard,
it helps to be on time.

Commander, I just thought--

Apparently these things can
last up to a week.

Eating, purging.
eating, purging.

- Catherine's onboard.
- Ah.

'I just saw her come through
customs.'

Thought I'd let you know before
you ran into her or something.

I appreciate that.

Unless you want to see her.

No, no.

That's alright. Thanks.

Mike..

- Was she with anyone?
- No.

Not that I could see.

[door whirs]

[gong ringing]

[instrumental music]

Delenn!

Is it not magnificent?

[Londo laughing]

It is quite...elaborate.

[laughing]

It's a celebration of life.

It comes from a time
in our world's history

'when two dominant species
were fighting for supremacy..'

Our people and a species
we call Xon.

At years end, we count
how many of our people survived

and we'd celebrate
our good fortune.

[both laugh]

- And what happened to the Xon?
- Dead. All of them.

And good riddance.

Do you know what the last Xon
said just before he died?

- Ah!
- Yeah!

[both laughing]

It's very funny.

- Can I kill him now?
- Let me get back to you.

You sure
you don't want to see her?

Absolutely.

[grunting]

[speaking in foreign language]

Oh, come on!

Commander, loosen up!

You're supposed to enjoy
yourself.

I am. Words just can't express
how much I'm enjoying this.

Londo, Londo.

Tell me,
what are all these statues?

Ah! Our household Gods.

In a world where every day
is a struggle for survival

you need all the Gods
you can get.

[both laughing]

- Where is she?
- Business area, Blue-Three.

[laughing]

Here, this is..

Oh! Ah!

This is Benzen, God of food.

And..

Li, Goddess of passion.

And Morgoth..

...God of the underworld

and protector of front doors.

Gods by the bushel,
Gods by the pound.

Gods for all occasions.

Have I ever told you

that you're very cute
for a Minbari?

[laughing]

Oh, and you are cute too

in an annoying sort of way.

Everybody's cute.

Everybody's cute.

Even me.

But in purple,
I'm stunning!

Ah!

He has become one
with his inner self.

- He's passed out.
- That too.

Commander,
would you like some more?

Commander?
Where's the commander?

[indistinct chatter]

- This is yours.
- Good.

- It's been a pleasure.
- Yes.

Thank you.

(female #2)
'Commander?'

- Hello, Jeff.
- Catherine.

I didn't know you were in charge
of the station until I got here.

If I'd known,
I wouldn't have come.

I keep my promises,
you know that.

I'll leave now
if you want me to.

No. No, I don't.

You're obviously here
to do business

and that's what Babylon 5
is here for.

- It's not a problem.
- Good.

Good.

- Ah, how've you been?
- Fine. Busy.

Yes, I can imagine.

You've done well.
I'm glad.

- How's Carolyn?
- Good, last I heard.

She and I went our separate ways
about a year ago.

She wanted me quit and go into
business with her as a trader

but that's not me.

- No, it's not.
- 'Commander Sinclair?'

(female #2)
'Commander. Commander Sinclair.'

I don't mean to alarm you, but
your pants are talking to you.

- I know, it's just, uh..
- Yes, you're a busy man.

Well, I'll let you
and your pants

get back to your business,
and I'll get back to mine.

Take care, Jeff.

Catherine..

As long as you're on stopover

if you don't have any other
plans, how about dinner?

[chuckles]
Jeff, please..

Just dinner.

This is my station,
and I'm...very proud of her.

I'd like to show you around
a little if you have time?

This is how we get into trouble
every three years.

Alright.

Just dinner.

[instrumental music]

I'd give you my berth number

but I suspect you already know
how to find me.

Commander.

Something, ambassador?

Just thinking about last week.

The unfortunate accident
with an air lock

that caused the sudden demise
of my first aide Ko D'Ath.

- Yes.
- Very sudden.

Who did you say sponsored you
to be my attache?

Counselor Li'Dak, Fifth Circle.

Ah! then you must know
his own sponsor Du'Rog.

Oh, no, I've never met him.

You seem very certain about
someone you've never met.

In all your dealings
with the Kha'Ri's

isn't it possible
that you once met

someone named Counselor Du'Rog?

- Anything is possible.
- Yes! Anything.

What would you say if I told you
that Counselor Du'Rog

had hired someone to kill me?

Someone close to me?

Ambassador, with all due respect

if it were me,
you wouldn't be here

for us to have
this conversation.

Except, of course, Du'Rog wants
to prolong my discomfort

for the next 48 Earth hours.

The last thing he wants
is a quick death.

How can you be sure
there is an assassin onboard?

What if he only told you this
to frighten you?

Unlikely.

Ah, as you said,
anything is possible.

'If he wanted the best'

he would have gone
to the assassin's guild

to get a killer.

It is a tradition
with the Thenta Makur

to leave a black flower
near his victims as a warning

'so they can get their affairs
in order.'

'Have you received
a death blossom?'

- No.
- Then I wouldn't worry.

Get some sleep, ambassador.

'I'm sure the question will
resolve itself soon enough.'

[instrumental music]

[sniffing]

[screaming]

[intense music]

And you have no idea
how that got into my bed?

Ambassador, it is
not my place to speculate

on how anything
gets into your bed.

Your reputed fascination
with Earth women, for instance.

[chuckles]
If you're worried..

...why don't you
go to the commander

he could protect you.

I fight my own battles.

I survived our war of
independence

five years on the council

and two prior assassination
attempts.

I can survive this!

And asking for help
would require explaining

why Counselor Du'Rog
wanted me dead.

This would lead to some rather
unfortunate revelations

about my years on the council.

Revelations that could affect
my position.

Ah!

Personally, I don't care
if the information comes out.

My only concern is that
it might compromise

our standing
in the negotiations.

So we have to
handle this quietly

for the sake of
planetary security.

Of course.

Ambassador..

If you suspect that I'm involved

why're telling me all this?

Earthers have a phrase,
"Keep your friends close

and your enemies closer."

Wonder if they stole it from us.

Either way, I look forward to
strengthening our relationship.

Now, I must find the courier
who brought me this message.

I believe his name was Tu'Pari.

I must find out
who gave it to him.

Oh, he's probably left this
station by now.

No ships for Narn have left
since yesterday afternoon.

He's still here.

Finding him
will be your first test.

Meanwhile, I will arrange
for a little protection.

I thought you weren't going to
tell the Earthers about this.

(G'Kar)
'I'm not.'

[door whirs]

[door clanks]

(male on PA)
'Earth Alliance transport
Southern Passage'

'is in its final boarding stages
for departure'

'to Arturas-Four
at boarding area One-Alpha.'

[speaking in foreign language]

Satai Delenn?

Lennier of the Third Fane
of Chudomo.

- I, I was sent..
- Yes.

I've been expecting you.

You can look up, Lennier
of the Third Fane of Chudomo.

It is forbidden.

I cannot have an aide
who will not look up.

You will be forever
walking into things.

Please.

Better.

Now, come.

Forgive me if, if I am slow,
Satai Delenn

but this is,
this's all quite new to me.

To go from
a simple novitiate to..

...to working with
one of the Grey Council.

Your teachers spoke well of you.

You will adjust.

You can begin by promising

not to mention the Grey Council
again during your stay.

No one here knows
of my connection.

No one must find out.

- But to deny the council--
- I am denying nothing.

But it would lead to
certain questions

that I don't want to answer
just now.

You will not use my title Satai.

You will address me
only as Delenn.

Do you understand?

No, but understanding is
not required.

- Only obedience.
- Good.

Your arrival is well-timed.

We are having an exchange of
ideas, displaying our rituals

our religions
and our sacred days.

You can help with demonstration
of Minbari religion.

The Third Fane of Chudomo has
served with honor for 500 years.

I will not disappoint you, Sat..

Delenn.

Then I am content.

Now, tell me of home, Lennier.

I have been away far too long.

[instrumental music]

- You wish protection?
- Yes.

Mighty Narn Empire.

Soldiers, guns.

And you come to N'Grath?

I need a bodyguard.

Someone who isn't from
my own world.

It avoids certain complications.

- Expensive.
- Oh, just name your price.

I have to attend the Minbari
ceremony in two Earth hours.

Will you have someone by then?

Is this satisfactory?

[chuckling]
Oh, yes.

(Catherine)
'It's been so long since
I've seen you out of uniform.'

'that I almost forgot
what you look like.'

'Isn't this a breach of
protocol?'

(Sinclair)
'I'm off duty.'

I thought you're never off duty.

Maybe you didn't know me
as well as you think.

You're right, I didn't.

But whose fault was that?

- Catherine--
- Commander, how are you, sir?

- It's good to see you.
- And you.

David will be your waiter
tonight.

Thank you.

I have to confess,
I was surprised to see you here.

I don't see why.

Seems like we
run into each other

about every two or three years.

Half the time,
I'm with someone else

or you're with someone else,
the other half--

The other half, the dance goes
something like this..

We meet,
renew acquaintances

talk about old times
at the academy.

You ask about my aunt,
I ask about your brother.

We lie about not missing
each other

and we end up
in bed together.

- And then you leave.
- Or you leave.

- Last time it was you.
- No, it wasn't.

- Yes, it was.
- No.

Was it?

You're right.

Last time it was me.

Oh, God, who can keep it all
straight anymore?

Funny, I was just thinkin'
about you the other day.

Wondering what you were doing.

I usually think about you
in summer.

I think of you in the fall.

We never could agree on
anything.

I still have your letters.

The long battles,
the brief truces.

The longer silences punctuated
by moments of passion

that we both end up regretting.

I read them from time to time

to remind myself why
we shouldn't get together again.

And why I shouldn't miss
bein' with you.

I think we just jumped ahead.

We're supposed to reminisce
about the academy

and ask about old friends first,
remember?

No, not this time. I don't think
that's a good idea.

We're not good for each other.

I know. It was always
three parts passion

and two parts teeth with us,
wasn't it?

Exactly.
Can't go through all that again.

Agreed.

- How's your aunt?
- How's your brother?

[both laugh]

Oh, God,
I can't believe I'm going

through all this with you again.

Neither can I.

I see such trouble.

(Delenn)
Will you follow me into fire?

Into storm?

Into darkness?

Into death?

And the nine said, "Yes."

Then do this in testimony
to the one who will follow..

...will bring death couched
in the promise of new life.

'And renewal
disguised as defeat.'

[instrumental music]

'From birth..'

'...through death and renewal.'

'You must put aside
old things..'

'...old fears..'

'...old lives.'

'This is your death.'

'The death of flesh.'

The death of pain.

The death of yesterday.

Taste of it..

'...and be not afraid.'

For I am with you
to the end of time.

Taste of it.

[music continues]

And so..

...it begins.

[door whirs]

Where is he?

I was told a bodyguard
would be at the ceremony!

- I was all alone!
- Ambassador..

"Taste of your own death,"
indeed. It's the only--

Ambassador!

The other room.

What in the world are you
doing here?

You were supposed to meet me
at the Minbari ceremony!

What'll I..

[thuds]

[intense music]

[gasps]

[instrumental music]

Let me see
if I've got this straight..

You just came in and found this
guy dead in your bedroom.

That's right.

And you've never seen him
before?

You have no idea
what he was doing here.

Yes! Yes! Look, we've already
gone over all this.

Just tryin' to get your
story down, ambassador.

It's not my story,
it's the truth!

When this individual was killed

I was at the Minbari ceremony
with you. Remember?

Yeah, I remember.

And I also remember you looking

pretty distracted
the whole time.

- Yours?
- Oh! Get out.

Don't push, ambassador.

Unless you've heard otherwise

I'm still head of security.

And under the terms
of our treaty

diplomatic quarters
are considered foreign soil.

Since I have
full diplomatic immunity

I don't have to answer
any of your questions.

I brought you here
as a courtesy.

If I were you,
I'd spend a little more time

finding out who killed
that individual

and little less time

engaging in your usual
harassment.

You're right, ambassador.

- My apologies.
- Ah.

Let me know when you're
finished, I want a full report.

Yes, sir.

And just let me say, ambassador,
from the bottom of my heart

hot pink is definitely
your color.

Oh!

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter on PA]

Are you Courier Tu'Pari?

- Yes.
- Come with me.

I'm needed on homeworld.

- I have my orders.
- So do I.

I'm already an hour late

in bringing you to Ambassador
G'Kar.

Which gives us something
in common.

If you do not come with me

you will be
the Late Courier Tu'Pari.

(Catherine)
'And I came across another
likely candidate'

'over in Grid Epsilon.'

Coordinates 471-18-25.

It's a Class Two planetoid.

Not enough atmosphere to sustain
any kind of sentient life.

Mineral content?

High levels of platinum,
derinium.

- You name it, it's there.
- 'Good.'

We have some good news
by the way.

Yes, you hit the big time.

I don't understand.

(male #2)
'The last planet
that you surveyed for us'

'turned up a substantial
amount of quantium 40.'

Yes. And under the terms
of the contract

you are entitled
to a piece of the profit..

And..

How's that look to you?

Oh! Oh, my!

Well, we've got to catch
our next flight back to Earth.

'I imagine you'll want to
celebrating your good fortune.'

Good day, Ms. Sakai.

We'll see you back at the hub.

(Catherine)
Right. Thanks.

[exhales]

Cheers!

[door beeping]

Come.

[door whirs]

The Courier Tu'Pari, ambassador,
as you requested.

Ah, good.

I do wish to speak to him alone
if you don't mind, Na'Toth.

[gasps]

Who gave you the data crystal

that you delivered to me
yesterday?

The message was from
Counselor Du'Rog.

Du'Rog is dead!

Someone had to give it to you
on his orders. Who?

Counselor Shu'Toth.

The father of my attache
Na'Toth?

The danger is much closer to you

than you think, ambassador.

(male #3)
'I am become a name for always
roaming with a hungry heart.'

'Much have I seen and known,
cities of men and manners.'

'Climates, councils,
governments.'

'Myself not least,
but honored of them all.'

'And drunk delight of battle
with my peers..'

Pause.

Come.

[door whirs]

Do you know how expensive
things are in this station?

Five hundred credits
just for a loaf of bread

a jug of wine
and some Antarean flarn.

Catherine.

I just got some terrific news

and I'm tired of not having
anyone to share it with.

Tennyson?

Jeff, you've been caught on
that one since the academy.

What's it take to drag you
into the 23rd century?

We find meaning where we can.

Ah! And which are you?

"An idle king doling
unequal laws unto a savage race

that hoard and sleep and feed
and know not you?"

Or "This gray spirit yearning

"in desire to follow
knowledge like a..

...sinking star."

I didn't know
you'd memorized it.

I lived with you for a year.
I didn't have much choice.

Do you have something to open
this with?

Catherine, I'm not sure
this is a good idea.

- Don't do this to me.
- We just got over each other.

Who says?

Who says I got over you
and you got over me?

You don't just turn it off
like a switch.

Yes, I stopped sleeping on
just one side of the bed

but only because
you weren't there.

I'd think about you
and get angry at myself

for being a fool.

And then,
when I saw you yesterday. I..

What do you want from me?

I don't know
what I'm doing here.

I don't know anything anymore.

I just didn't want to
celebrate alone.

Maybe I needed you.
Maybe I just needed someone.

And right now,
for this one moment

I don't care.

Don't send me away.

Don't make me feel like a fool.

I couldn't do that.

[sighs]

You have to know me
better than that.

(female #2)
'Commander.'

That's alright. Go.

Yes?

(female #2)
'We've got an environmental
brownout in Green-Two.'

'We need authorization to
reroute power from sensors'

'until we fix the couplers.'

Fine, fine.
Authorization granted.

[beeping]

I should go. I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have come.

Catherine..

You can have the flarn,
I never--

Don't.

Don't touch me
unless you mean it.

[instrumental music]

And I wish to formally request
that my attache Na'Toth

be reassigned immediately
to another sector.

I want her picked up
at transport within the hour.

Confirmed, ambassador. I've been
told to convey our apologies

for the delay in dispatches.

What delay?

Our courier, Ru'Dak,
met with an unfortunate accident

the day he was scheduled
to leave for Babylon 5.

We have not yet found
a replacement.

What're you talking about?

The courier is right here. I..

[G'Kar groans]

[instrumental music]

[sighing]

You should sleep.

- You'll have to get up soon.
- I'm fine.

It's been a long road,
hasn't it?

- Hm.
- The academy.

The war.

And here we are, making the same
mistakes all over again.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Well, at least we have tonight.

In a few hours, you'll be
the busy commander again.

So let's enjoy it while we can.

If there were a problem,
they'd tell you.

[music continues]

(Tu'Pari)
Ah, you're awake.

Good.

That will make this
far more entertaining.

[screaming]

[electricity crackling]

Those are pain-givers on your

neck and wrists, ambassador.

If you come within ten feet
of me while wearing them

'you will experience pain'

'such as you cannot conceive.'

Come within five feet,
and they will kill you.

Wha.. What do you want?

(Tu'Pari)
'My orders are quite specific.'

[clears throat]

Now..

"You are to know pain.

[electricity crackling]

[groaning]

[chuckles]

"You are to know fear.

And then you are to die
at the required hour."

I confess, I'll be happy when
this assignment is finished.

Allaying the target's suspicions
can be so time-consuming.

Do you have any idea how long
I sat in the customs area

waiting for Na'Toth to find me?

Whatever you want,
whatever you were paid..

Whatever the price..

- I can double it!
- Yes.

I imagined you could make me
extremely wealthy.

But to betray a commission

would violate the spirit of the
Thenta Makur

and then they would
have to kill me.

It's unfortunate,
but we must all

make our little sacrifices,
ambassador.

I have made mine..

And you are about to make yours.

[electricity crackling]

[groaning]

No!

[door whirs]

Ambassador?

Ambassador G'Kar?

[intense music]

Re-establish contact
with last transmission.

(computer)
'Confirmed. Stand by.'

[electricity crackling]

[chuckles softly]
The pain must be overwhelming.

Why hold it in?

Cry out, ambassador.

'With luck,
someone will hear you.'

I would die before giving you..

...that satisfaction.

As you wish.

[electricity crackling]

[groaning]

[electricity crackling]

Na'Toth!

I'm glad to see my instincts
were correct.

I knew you'd need complete
privacy for this.

So once I determined
which of the transport tubes

had suddenly broken down

it wasn't hard to
figure out where you were.

This is none of your affair,
Na'Toth.

Leave while you can.

Not until I've done
what I came here to do.

I'm your backup, Tu'Pari.

Hired to finish the job
in case you fail.

I wasn't told about a backup.

No, the primary never is.

Standard practice
in the assassin's guild

as you well know.

Why should I believe you?

(Na'Toth)
Hmm. I see you're using
pain-givers.

Crude. Unimaginative.

And much too quick.

Our orders were to prolong
his discomfort every moment

until the deadline.

And what would you recommend?

[breathing heavily]

- Na'Toth!
- At your service, ambassador.

[groaning]

[gas whooshing]

(Tu'Pari)
'And this is the part'

where I'm supposed to decide
I trust you

drop my guard and let you
shoot me in the back.

Sorry, but I can't take
the chance that you're lying.

You're making a mistake.

Perhaps.

[gas whooshing]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[groaning]

That hurt.

Ambassador, it was the only way
to disable the pain-givers.

I had to hit them
as hard as possible

as often as possible,
and still make it appear

as though I were beating you
into another incarnation.

And you didn't enjoy it
in the least?

I didn't say that.

What are you going to do
with Tu'Pari?

[chuckling]

Well, well,
you're finally awake.

[gasps]

I was afraid the injection

wouldn't wear off
for another day or so.

Another-another day?

It's been nearly 72 Earth hours
since you were knocked out.

You missed your deadline.
Most unfortunate.

'But to make up for it,
I went ahead'

and deposited a substantial
amount of money

to your personal account
back home.

No!

The Thenta Makur..

...they'll think I betrayed
my commission

sold out our principles.

They will kill me.

Yes, they will, won't they?

I imagine
they're already on their way.

Actually, they should be here
in about one hour.

'It would be even more
unfortunate'

if they were to find you here
when they arrived.

(G'Kar)
'Oh, yes. Happily, I'm safe'

because the commission was
yours alone.

And they're so scandalized
by your actions

that they'd just as soon forget
the whole thing never happened.

Except for the part
about killing him.

Except for that, yes.

(male on PA)
'Alpha- Seven Transport
now departing from Bay-Three.'

'Passengers will please begin
boarding procedure.'

That's your flight.
I suggest you board quickly.

With luck,
they may never find you.

But if they do,
you will know pain.

- And you will know fear.
- And then you'll die.

Have a pleasant flight.

[instrumental music]

(G'Kar)
'And when-when you took his
sp-spectacles'

and smashed them on the floor,
I thought..

Ambassador, enjoying the last
day of the festival?

More than you could possibly
imagine. Good day.

[both laughing]

He's in a good mood.
Who knows?

Maybe Earth Central was right
about this festival idea.

I can't believe how quiet
it's been the last day or so.

Guess I'm your good-luck charm.

You sure you have to go?

Oh, it's just for a few days.

I have to make survey run

through the Deneb sector
by next Tuesday

or I lose the commission.

See you when I get back?

- I'm not leaving this time.
- Neither am I.

This should be interesting.

[chuckling]

So have you figured out yet
what you're gonna do for

demonstration of Earth's
dominant belief system?

Not yet, and I don't know
how I'm gonna top

the Minbari rituals,
the bells, drums

robes and little pieces
of fruit.

- Red fruit?
- Yeah.

And was there a serious
exchange of looks?

Yes.

It's supposed to be part
of the rebirth ceremony.

What?

[chuckles]
Oh, it's a rebirth ceremony,
alright.

It also doubles
as a marriage ceremony.

Depending on how seriously
anyone took it.

Somebody got married
the other day.

Maybe that's why
G'Kar's smiling.

Funny. I didn't think
Londo was his type.

[instrumental music]

- See you next Wednesday?
- Try and stop me.

Jeff?

You think we'll get it right
this time?

I don't know.

Fair enough.

[instrumental music]

- Mr. Garibaldi!
- I know.

He said it'd be
just a few more minutes.

Exactly what sort of
demonstration

does he have planned?

Unknown.
He wouldn't even tell us.

Just said it'd showcase
Earth's dominant belief system.

- I don't hear any drums.
- Or bells.

Or chants.

Are you're sure that we've come
to the right place?

That's it, I'm leaving.

This is where he said to wait

and this is where we're waiting.

Alright, we're all set.

If you'll come this way.

Here.

This is Mr. Harris.
He's an atheist.

Father Cresanti,
a Roman Catholic.

Mr. Hayakawa, a Zen Buddhist.

Mr. Rashid, a Muslim.

Mr. Rosenthal, an Orthodox Jew.

Running Elk,
of the Oglala Sioux faith.

Father Papapoulous,
a Greek Orthodox.

'Ogigi-ko, of the Ebo tribe.'

Machukiak, a Yupik Eskimo.

Sawa, of the Jivaro tribe.

'Isnakuma, a Bantu.'

'Ms. Chang, a Taoist.'

'Mr. Blacksmith, an aborigine.'

'Ms. Yamamoto, a Shinto.'

'Ms. Naijo, a Maori.'

'Mr. Gold, a Hindu..'

'Ms. Nakuna..'
