'What do you want...'

[flaviomatani]

Odd how a very light thread of conversation on FB about Babylon 5 quickly turns into a discussion about the current UK/World situation...

I was corrected when I said the world was in the hands of Mr Morden and his associates and we had Prez Clark for real. They said 'nah, it's Cartagia.....'

Mr. Morden: What do YOU want?

Ambassador Vir Cotto: I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.

Ambassador Vir Cotto: Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?

Sometimes I forget how much of a baddass Vir was.

This, indeed. It was a beautiful characterisation, credible as a person and, as you say, badass with it. And Furst was very very good.
