[Zack is showing some new security guards the ropes at Customs.]

Zack Allan:
When you come on duty always check this display. This is where you get your details on who to hold, and who to let through. Anything unusual gets flagged.

[Londo walks through the gate.]

Londo Mollari:
And would I fall under the category of unusual, Mr. Allen?

Zack:
Well! I didn't think we'd be seeing you again any time soon, ambassador.

Londo:
Yes, I could tell, from the look of unvarnished joy on your face when I came aboard. Perhaps you would like to take a seat before you are overcome with ecstasy?

Zack:
No thanks, I'm fine. So what happened, they get tired of you back home?

Londo:
Tired? No, don't be absurd. Why, the Emperor himself said I would only be allowed to leave over his dead body. I thought, "Well, how strange. Mr. Allan said I would only be allowed back onto Babylon 5 over his dead body." With my busy schedule I'm afraid I can only accommodate so many requests. I'm sorry, Mr. Allan, but I'm afraid you'll simply have to wait your turn! [he leaves]

Zack:
The only reason that guy is still alive is that half the time I don't know what the hell he's talking about. The other half, I wish I didn't. But that's why it's important to check in on customs on a regular basis. [Bester now appears behind him, surrounded by three security guards.] You never know who's gonna walk in that-

Alfred Bester:
Just a guess, Mr. Allan, but I'd suggest the word you're looking for is "door". Now, please notify the Captain that I'm here. I need to meet with him and the rest of the Command staff ASAP. I assume my usual quarters in the brig are available? I've grown so attached to the place.

Zack:
For you, Mr. Bester? Always.

[Bester and his security escort move on.]

Zack:
[sighs] You ever have one of those days?
