Babylon 5, Season 4: No Surrender, No Retreat
[After discussing recent events with Captain Sheridan, Commander Ivanova walks around his desk and sits in his chair.]
Susan Ivanova:
Speaking of which, as of now I'm relieving you of command.
John Sheridan:
[slightly amused] Ivanova, your sense of humor has always been on the edge of good taste, but—
Ivanova:
I'm serious, John.
Sheridan:
[defensively] On what grounds?
Ivanova:
You haven't taken any personal time in over nine months. And in that time we have broken away from Earth, fought a war, you have been declared dead at least once, and you know how tiring that can be.
Sheridan:
There isn't much chance of me winning this argument, is there?
Ivanova:
None whatsoever. I never give up when I'm right. Your only option is to surrender.
Sheridan:
Who taught you to negotiate like that?
Ivanova:
You did.
Sheridan:
[impressed and defeated] Oh. Well, then I assume this enforced vacation is to begin immediately.
[Ivanova has already picked up papers from the desk and gotten to work.]
Ivanova:
Started when I walked in that door.
