There's less to life than epics
A scene that probably won't be appearing in the new Babylon 5 direct-to-DVD movie, The Lost Tales:
Sheridan: (v.o.) Babylon 5 is a place of beginnings and endings. I wonder which this will be? Babylon 7, though... that was a place of middles.
(Cut to an observation deck on Babylon 7. Two people are sitting on a bench, watching the vista.)
Man 1: So the--
Man 2: (simultaneously) Did you--
Man 1: Sorry.
Man 2: No, sorry, my-- what were you going to--
Man 1: No, doesn't matter.
Man 2: Oh. Yeah. Okay.
(They sit in silence for a while.)
Man 1: Catch the game last night?
Man 2: No, I-- no, I was, um... eh, you know.
Man 1: Mmm.
(They sit in silence.)
Man 1: Tenth anniversary of the Alliance, eh?
Man 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Man 1: Man, I feel old.
Man 2: Whoo, tell me about it.
(They sit in silence.)
Man 1: Well, should be going.
Man 2: Yeah.
(They do not move.)
