Delenn: In a little while , you come to my quarters where we spend the night together discovering one another 's centers of pleasure . It is done with great deliberation , prayerfully , with respect and meditation . It is good for us to know all we can about one another should we continue the joining of our hearts and our blood . So you can meet me there . Unless of course you can find something of equal value sitting here and staring at plants while feeling guilty about things you can not change .
Capt. John Sheridan: Nope .
