- Captain Susan Ivanova: Good luck, captain. I think you're about to go where... everyone has gone before.
- Draal: Delenn tells me that you're going to try contacting the First Ones. It is a magnificent idea, a daring and splendid idea. In doing so, you will see things no human has ever seen before.
