Babylon 5 Quote

[Lennier is in the arrivals area, stuck between two humans--one drunk, one sleeping on his shoulder.]
Drunk: I said "Sheila," "Sheila," I says, "you change that vid channel one more time and I'm outta here, you got it?" Well, she did, I did, and here I am! You shoulda seen the look on her face, let me tell you! But it's great! I get to meet all kinds of people! I mean, look! Me sitting next to you, a Minbari! You know, us in that war and all. But I don't hold a grudge, no sir! You know what? I say live and let live! You know, look, I got hair, you got a bone! So where you goin'?
Lennier: Home. I have been diagnosed with Netter's Syndrome. Since I have only seven days to live, I thought I would return home to put my affairs in order before the end.
Drunk: Netter's Syndrome? I've had a few syndromes, but I've never heard of that one.
Lennier: Neither had I. Apparently it's spread by physical contact.
[The drunk realizes he's still got Lennier by the shoulder.]
Drunk: Uh, I gotta make a call. [He gets up and walks away, while the sleeping human rolls off of Lennier's shoulder.]
Lennier: [to himself] I will do penance later.
