Quotes:

[first lines]
Dr. Sarah Chambers: So, this is Babylon 5. It's everything I expected. Noisy, crowded, and constantly in trouble. Still, you have to give it credit. It has lasted 10 years. Nobody back home thought it would even last a year.
Max Eilerson: Lots of things hang on longer than they should: poison ivy, measles, Babylon 5, some people.
