Babylon 5, Season 1: Signs and Portents

[G'Kar makes the suddenly fugitive Garibaldi an offer.]

G'Kar:
What if I told you a ship is ready to spirit you away to Narn space?

Michael Garibaldi:
I'd say "Why?"

G'Kar:
You could serve us in various ways. Analyst, security, cryptographer. If you grow homesick we could arrange for your return to human space with proper genetic alterations. That, too, might serve our needs.

Garibaldi:
You want me to betray my own world?

G'Kar:
Stop seeing things in such absolute terms. The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest. Unless you comprehend that fact and soon, you will be cornered and caged.
