Babylon 5 had some cheesy dialog at times ... but when JMS had a point to make, he wrote some great lines. The way he played around with variations on the questions "What do you want?" "Who are you?" "Why are you here?" "Where are you going?" in the dialog was brilliant.
As for Farscape quotes, I love the dialog on that show, it feels very realistic. Here are a couple of favourites off the top of my head:
CRICHTON: I'm in... a hell of a slump here. Everything I do just makes things worse.
SCORPIUS: Well then... do better.
CRICHTON: My name is John Crichton, Astronaut. I was *not* at the Refreshment House after-hours, I was not *present* at any bombing or explosion, I did not have a *private* meeting with the beautiful Miss Sarova. The end. Cross my heart, smack me dead, stick a lobster on my head.
CRICHTON: You been lyin' to your daddy, boy, and you know you shouldn't lie to your daddy! It's gonna stop! Who's your daddy?! Come on, you know who your daddy is. Who's your daddy? -- D'Argo tell'm who his daddy is!
D'ARGO: I'm your daddy.
CRICHTON: That's right!
CRICHTON: Work now... freak later.
STARK: Oh, yes... that's fair.
CRICHTON: Good.
STARK: How much later?
