1:28:08
You left the reception.
1:28:12
I needed a little quiet to think.
1:28:18
Just before he died, the Minbari assassin
looked at me and said:

1:28:21
"There is a hole in your mind."
1:28:26
An old Minbari insult.
1:28:29
Nothing you need worry about.
1:28:31
Maybe.
1:28:33
It's just there's a 24-hour period in my life
that I can't account for.

1:28:38
It happened during the war
with your people.

1:28:42
You wouldn't be holding anything
out on me, would you, old friend?

1:28:45
Commander,
I would never tell you anything...

1:28:49
...that was not in your best interest.
1:28:53
Well, we'll talk about this again,
one of these days.

1:29:00
Come on.
We should get back to the reception.

1:29:03
By the way,
there is something I've been wondering.

1:29:08
Why Babylon 5?
1:29:11
If the prior four stations
were lost or destroyed...

1:29:15
...why build another?
1:29:17
Plain, old, human stubbornness, I guess.
1:29:20
When something we value is destroyed,
we rebuild it.

1:29:23
If it's destroyed again, we rebuild it again.
1:29:26
And again...
1:29:29
...and again until it stays.
1:29:32
That, as our poet Tennyson once said,
is the goal:

1:29:36
"To strive, to seek, to find,
and not to yield."

1:29:39
A poet?
1:29:40
Someone who writes poems.
1:29:42
A poem: a story in meter or rhyme.
1:29:47
"There once was a man from Nantucket"
1:29:50
You've been talking to Garibaldi again,
haven't you?

1:29:53
Yes.
1:29:54
How did you know?
1:29:56
Just a wild guess.
1:29:58
