- Hi.

- Hi.

I thought you weren't due back

for another week?

Yeah. Haggling with the Centauri

is always a slow process.

Until you explain,

unless payment is made promptly...

...their merchandise will be dumped

into space and fired into the sun.

Not exactly fair-market bargaining.

I was in a hurry.

- I didn't think you'd report me.

- We'll discuss that later.

I'm glad you're back.

- When do you dock?

- One hour and 40 minutes.

Just in time for the reception.

I'll tell you about it when you arrive.

I was thinking about something

a little more intimate.

On my way,

I picked up some carnelian bed sheets.

They're supposed to be

completely frictionless.

See you in an hour and 40 minutes.

Lieutenant Commander Takashima.

About our supply ship, I have reconsidered.

With the new ambassador about to arrive,

this is hardly a time for petty squabbles.

I have told our captain

to submit to your weapons search.

That's great.

Since you doubtless have your hands full...

...our captain will wait until

after the Ambassador's ship has docked.

- Is that satisfactory?

- Yes, it is.

Are you feeling all right, Ambassador?

Couldn't be better.

See you at the reception, then.

Good eating to you.

Yes. And now we need a nine.

And now we need a nine, yes?

We're going to play...

Ambassador.

Londo.

What? Not now, please. I'm busy.

Go away.

I'll take two and roll for the balance.

And, come on, now.

There, you see?

It's your fault.

You're bad luck.

I've always said that about him.

Now, come on, go.

You're a security chief.

Shouldn't you be out securing something?

Strike.

I am. I'm securing you.

The new ambassador arrived early.

Commander wants to make sure

you'll be in the welcoming party.

Mr. Garibaldi, I'm a very busy man.

Take three, no roll.

Eight, ten, seven, no strike, sir.

House wins again.

No, God damn!

Well, that's it.

And it's too bad.

I had almost finished working out

my new system.

Just a few more credits and I...

Wait, Garibaldi.

My good, close friend, Garibaldi.

No, you don't.

- Not again.

- Lend me your support, your good cheer.

My wallet?

Come on, Garibaldi,

I know there's an adventurer...

...lurking inside that steel shell,

bursting to get out.

I'm confident my system will work.

We'll take them together, side by side,

just like in the old days...

...when my dear republic moved in

and conquered the entire Beta system...

...in nine days!

- Did I ever tell you that story?

- Several times.

We came out of the sky,

a veritable cloud of starships...

- ... and then we fell on them, I was in-

- Londo. No!

No!

Look, I'd love to stay,

but I have things to do.
