2. Everyone knows the 'Babylon 5 Mantra'. However, what follows the line 'And, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your LUNGS out. Babylon control out.'

Answer: Civilians

The entire thing is 'And just one more thing. On your trip back, I'd like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 Mantra. Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recomendations. Ivanova is God. And, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out. Babylon control out. Civilians. Just kidding about that God part. No offense.'

They're talking about the belief that taking Babylon 4 back in time will prevent the destruction of Babylon 5 by the Shadows.

6. Classic scene. Londo is complaining about the lack of 'attributes' on a doll of him being sold on the station. Ivanova says, 'Ah. So you feel you're being symbolically cast...' what?

Answer: in a bad light.

As Sheridan said, 'Very diplomatically put.'

7. Speaking of that episode, at the start of that same episode, Ivanova says, 'Welcome to Babylon 5-...'?

Sheridan had just informed her that Earthgov was planning on selling merchandice with Babylon 5 emblazened on them.

8. Just a couple minutes later, she says, 'Babylon 5 isn't...' what?

Answer: some Deep Space franchise.

It's rumored that it was a shot at 'Star Trek: Deep Space 9'.

9. Time to go back to the first season. In 'Infection', A reporter refuses to leave C-n-C. Ivanova steps in front of the reporter and says... what?

Answer: Don't- you're too young to experience that much pain

The reporter looks like she's about to say something about freedom of the press but wisely decides the constitution is too many lightyears away.

10. Still Season 1. 'And the Sky Full of Stars'. Garibaldi makes a very pessimistic statement. Ivanova says 'Mr. Garibaldi, there are days...' What?

Answer: I'm very glad I don't have to think the way you do.

There are days I'm glad I don't have to think the way he does, too.

Answer: *sigh* 'I know. I know.'

I should have realized that this episode was going to be a biggie. JMS is notorious for putting lighthearted scenes at the beginning of the big episodes.

12. Dr. Tasaki: 'What better way to go out than in the cause of advancing scientific knowledge?' Ivanova says...?

Answer: Is this a multiple choice question, because I have some ideas.

Shown in 'A Voice in the Wilderness' pt. 1 just after Dr. Tasaki is saved the first time.

15. Season 3 again. 'Voices of Authority'. Draal says, 'I like you. You're trouble.' Ivanova responds with...?

Answer: Why thank you. That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me in days.

Ivanova is down on Epsilon 3 to get information from Draal on finding the First Ones (besides the Vorlons and Shadows, of course). She surprises Draal and gives him a long speech about how she loves surprises. The next two questions from the same episode.

16. Ivanova to Sheridan who has to entertain Ms. Julie Musante: 'Good luck captain- I think...'?

Answer: you're about to go where EVERYONE has gone before.

Nothing like a little induendo between friends. :)

Answer: Zog yes Zog no

18. What is Ivanova's response when Sheridan says, 'Do you always worry when things are going well'?

Answer: I don't have time to worry about them when they're not.

19. When Ivanova is telling Sheridan about Kosh's ship, she mentions the maintenance crew refuse to go near it. She then says what?

Answer: They say it talks to them in their sleep.

Wouldn't surprise me if the ship did keep Bay 13 in better shape than they could, but it's not mentioned. Sheridan does get targeted by some sort of defense but the only thing it seems to do is put a targeting laser on him.

20. Last one for this batch. Another classic scene. The scene with the Lumati ambassador. After Ivanova dances around the ambassador for a bit, he asks, 'What do I do now?' What does she say?

Answer: Old way, you roll over and fall asleep. New way, you go out for pizza and I never see you again.

I'm not even going to try and type up the entire 'Boom-shaka-laka' scene. Oh, I know it well enough, but it's so much funnier in video than it is on paper. Instead, I'll just say I hope you enjoyed this quiz. It's meant to be a medium difficulty but might end up tougher.
