:17:00
The new ambassador arrived early.
:17:03
Commander wants to make sure
you'll be in the welcoming party.
:17:06
Mr. Garibaldi, I'm a very busy man.
:17:10
Take three, no roll.
:17:12
Eight, ten, seven, no strike, sir.
House wins again.
:17:16
No, God damn!
:17:20
Well, that's it.
:17:22
And it's too bad.
:17:24
I had almost finished working out
my new system.
:17:27
Just a few more credits and I...
:17:30
Wait, Garibaldi.
My good, close friend, Garibaldi.
:17:36
No, you don't.
:17:37
- Not again.
- Lend me your support, your good cheer.
:17:40
My wallet?|Come on, Garibaldi,
I know there's an adventurer...
:17:45
...lurking inside that steel shell,
bursting to get out.
:17:49
I'm confident my system will work.
:17:51
We'll take them together, side by side,
just like in the old days...
:17:56
...when my dear republic moved in
and conquered the entire Beta system...
:18:00
...in nine days!
:18:02
- Did I ever tell you that story?
- Several times.
:18:04
We came out of the sky,
a veritable cloud of starships...
:18:08
- ...and then we fell on them, I was in-
- Londo. No!
:18:13
No!
:18:15
Look, I'd love to stay,
but I have things to do.
:18:19
Now, be a good ambassador
and be at Docking Bay 9 in two hours.
:18:25
- I don't want to have to come and get you.
- I'll be there.
:18:28
What else have I got to do? I'm broke.
:18:33
Excuse me, I couldn't help overhearing.
This system of yours, it's a sure thing?
:18:43
My good fellow,
I've worked it out to 15 decimal points.
:18:47
All it requires is a little backing, Mr...
:18:49
- Varner.
- Varner?
:18:51
- Del Varner.
- Del Varner.
