  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : ...I get this nagging suspicion that maybe Bester was right. This thing will blow up in our face. It worries me. I also have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something.

  Michael Garibaldi : [over link]  About time.

• Michael Garibaldi : Why were you so chummy with Bester?

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : I was stationed at an Earthforce base near a mining company several years ago. A rogue telepath was messing with my people. First, cheating them in the casino and later he killed two of them because they found out what he was. We couldn't find him. Bester did. And he saved the lives of two of my crew. Now, I don't actually like him, and I sure as hell don't trust him but so far, he has not done anything unpleasant to me. I'm sure he will because this place seems to bring that out in everyone. But until then, I have an obligation to be courteous.

  Michael Garibaldi : And I have an obligation to shove his face through a bulkhead.

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : Your hobbies are your concern, Mr. Garibaldi. Just do it where I can't see it and do it quietly.

• Captain Elizabeth Lochley : What the hell is your problem?

  Michael Garibaldi : For starters, I don't know you, therefore I don't trust you.

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : The world is full of people you don't know.

  Michael Garibaldi : I worry about that all the time.

• Zack Allan : [after finding out Garibaldi has accessed Lochley's file. Lochley starts to leave]  Where are you going?

  Capt. Elizabeth Lochley : To pound someone Mr. Allen. You win. I just decided if you can't join 'em beat 'em.

• President John Sheridan : I'm caught in a web of my own good intentions.

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : Well, the road to hell is paved with them, sir.

  President John Sheridan : I know. But why does it have to go through this office?

• Captain Elizabeth Lochley : I'm here because Sheridan wanted a symbol. Somebody who was on the other side. He figured it would bring the folks back home together. He also wanted someone he knew he could trust, someone he didn't have to worry about sandbagging him or stabbing him in the back when he wasn't looking. Someone who would argue with him, when necessary, but beck him all the way when he was right.

  Michael Garibaldi : And that's you?

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : That's me.

  Michael Garibaldi : Why?

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : It can't leave this room.

  Michael Garibaldi : I am the *soul* of discretion.

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : A very long time ago, Sheridan and I were... married for all of about three months.

  Michael Garibaldi : Get outta town. Whew. How many wives has he got?

  Captain Elizabeth Lochley : Just three. We met fresh out of Officer Training School. We hit it off, fell crazy in love, got married, realized we'd made a terrible mistake, fell crazy out of love, and split up. You see, in a relationship. you gotta take turns being in charge, but, we both wanted to be in charge all the time. We had arguments that could peel paint off the wall. But it was over a long time ago:. He's not carrying a torch for me, I'm not carrying one for him. But the bottom line is, he knows he can trust me, and I know I can trust him, and that's why I'm here.

  Michael Garibaldi : [Garibaldi laughs]
