A man named Del Varner
offered to cover my bets.
:34:08
Now there's a criminal,
if you're looking for one.
:34:10
He promised to back my bets,
then pulled out...|...after I had run up quite a bill.
:34:17
He's here if you want to see him.
:34:19
He's right over there, in the checked coat.
:34:24
Can anyone confirm your story?
:34:26
Yes. The new telepath, Lyta Alexander.
:34:31
I saw her talking to Varner
shortly after you left.
:34:34
Thank you.
Put it on his tab.
:34:38
Who'd want to kill the Ambassador?
:34:41
Mr. Garibaldi...
:34:43
...it's a big universe.
:34:46
If I knew who did it, I'd tell you.
:34:49
I'm not here to make trouble.
:34:52
Do you know why I am here?
:34:55
I'm here...
:34:57
...to grovel before
your wonderful Earth Alliance...
:35:01
...in the hopes of attaching ourselves
to your destiny.
:35:08
What are those fish called on your planet
that attach themselves to sharks?
:35:11
Remoras.
:35:13
Yes.
:35:15
You make very good sharks, Mr. Garibaldi.
:35:20
We were
pretty good sharks ourselves once...
:35:23
...but somehow...
:35:25
...along the way...
:35:28
...we forgot how to bite.
:35:31
There was a time...
:35:34
...when this whole quadrant
belonged to us.
:35:36
What are we now?|Twelve worlds and a thousand monuments
to past glories...
:35:42
...living off memories and stories...
:35:49
...selling trinkets.
:35:53
My God, man...
:35:57
...we've become a tourist attraction.
:35:59
See the great Centauri Republic...
