We see Garibaldi and Sinclair on screen. The camera shot widens up, and we
|
|
see what appears to be a small congregation of people. In the front row,
|
|
we see, from left to right: Londo Mollari, Vir Cotto, Michael Garibaldi,
|
|
Jeffrey Sinclair, Susan Ivanova, and G'Kar. Behind them are a number of
|
|
other aliens, of various species. Delenn, Lennier, and another Minbari.
|
|
The minbari are wearing cloaks. Delenn has a hood over her head. There is
|
|
a triangular table, with some items on it, mostly triangular, including a
|
|
triangular shaped glass basket. The camera moves to Delenn.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Delenn:</b> Will you follow me into fire, into storm, into darkness, into
|
|
death? And the nine said yes. Then do it in testimony to the one who will
|
|
follow, who will bring death, (camera cuts to a shot of G'Kar,) couched in
|
|
the promise of new life, (camera cut to Garibaldi,) and renewal, (camera
|
|
cut to Sinclair,) disguised as defeat.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is a wider shot of the entire chamber. Delenn takes one small red
|
|
fruit from the glass basket. Lennier then takes to basket to the others
|
|
who were mentioned before. He goes from left to right across the front of
|
|
the seats, and offers the basket to each person in the front row. They
|
|
each take one of the same small red fruit.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Delenn:</b> (Camera cuts to a shot of Londo) From birth, (Camera pans to the
|
|
right, from Londo to Vir,) through death and renewal, (camera pans to
|
|
Garibaldi,) you must put aside old things, (camera pans to Sinclair,) old
|
|
fears, (camera pans to Ivanova,) old lives. (Camera pans to G'Kar,) This
|
|
is your death. The death of flesh. The death of pain. (Camera cuts to
|
|
Delenn, holding the red fruit. Her back is, and apparantly has been,
|
|
toward the others.) The death of yesterday. (Delenn turns around, to face
|
|
them.) Taste of it, (Camera cuts to Londo, who eats his fruit. After a
|
|
moment, he nods at Vir. The camera moves to Vir.) and be not afraid, (Vir
|
|
eats his fruit. Camera moves to Sinclair.) for I am with you, (camera cuts
|
|
to Delenn, who is staring at Sinclair,) to the end of time.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Camera moves back to Sinclair. He looks at Garibaldi. Garibaldi shakes
|
|
his head and puts the fruit down in front of him. Camera moves to Ivanova,
|
|
who eats her fruit. Camera moves to G'Kar, who shiffs the fruit with a
|
|
look of disgust. Camera to Sinclair, who looks at G'Kar, and sort of
|
|
smirks. Camera back to Delenn, who is still looking at Sinclair.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Delenn:</b> Taste of it.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Camera to Sinclair. He eats the fruit. Camera back to Delenn, who eats
|
|
the fruit, with her eyes closed. She appears to savor it's taste, or savor
|
|
the moment, while eating it. Camera to Sinclair, who watches Delenn do
|
|
this. Camera to Delenn, who opens her eyes and looks back at Sinclair.
|
|
She removes her hood.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Delenn:</b> And so it begins.
