Londo: Refa, any force attempting to invade Narn would be up to its neck in blood -- its own!
Refa: We have no intention of invading Narn. Flattening it, yes -- but invading it? We will be using mass drivers. By the time we are done their cities will be in ruins, we can move in at our leisure!
Londo: Mass drivers? They have been outlawed by every civilized planet!
Refa: These are uncivilized times.
Londo: We have treaties!
Refa: Ink on a page!
