Have you ever wondered if Sheridan knows what he's doing 'cause, for the most part, it seems like blind luck.
Further, he's got the temperment of a 9-year-old.
What's going to happen in --say-- 2272, when Sheridan's gotta go back into battle to deal with the NEW Drazi Planet Killer?
DELENN
John, you haven't done this in a long time.
Are you sure you're prepared?
SHERIDAN
Of course! You never forget how to act in
the big chair. It's like riding a bicycle.
DELENN
That's good John, but...
SHERIDAN (interrupting)
Although, I never really learned how to ride
a bike 'cause I was too busy burning ants and
thinking about my sexy cousin.
SHERIDAN sticks his hands in his pockets and flashes a big
goofy smile.
DELENN stands motionless, troubled.
SHERIDAN
Aww, don't worry Delenn. I've got this all worked out.
I'm going to deal with the Drazi just like the Dilgar and
the Pok'Mara
DELENN
John... you never dealt with the Pok'Mara...
SHERIDAN (interrupting)
I know, and I kick myself every minute for it!
DELENN (cont.)
...and as I remember it, the Dilgar were just taking
their first steps into space. They didn't even have...
SHERIDAN (interrupting, again)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ok. Don't worry.
JOHN rests his arm around DELENN
SHERIDAN (cont.)
I've got this situation all taken care of.
DELENN
How?
SHERIDAN (excited)
See, *I* rigged nukes to all the local asteroids.
*I* also equipped the entire WhiteStar fleet with
their own thermo-nuke missiles. And, that's not
even the best part. *I've* got this one nuke that
*I'm* saving 'til later. Guess how big it is. Come
on, guess!
DELENN
John, every time it's the same tactic. Sooner or later,
people are going to realize that it's the only thing you
do. John, can you...
IVANOVA storms in
IVANOVA
John, what the HELL are you doing! How DARE you equip
a nuclear device to the reactor core of my personal flag
ship! How DARE you convert my ship -- the largest ship
in the fleet -- into a giant nuclear bomb!
