Avon quotes from Blake's 7

Have you got any better ideas?

As a matter of fact, no, I haven't.

Does that mean you agree?

Do I have a choice?

Yes.

Then I agree.

Vila

Have you thought of another plan?

Yes. I'm going to get some sleep.

Vila

How can you sleep with all this happening?

With all what happening? Blake is sitting up in a tree, Travis is sitting up in another tree. Unless they're planning to throw nuts at one another, I don't see much of a fight developing before it gets light.

You're never involved, are you Avon? You ever cared for anyone?

Vila

Except yourself?

I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care, or, indeed, why it should be necessary to prove it at all. [Exits]

Vila

Was that an insult or did I miss something?

Cally

You missed something.

Logic says we're dead.

Logic has never defined what dead is.

Avalon has started resistance movements in a dozen Federation planets.

Another idealist, poor but honest. I shall look forward to our meeting with eager anticipation.

Does it support any intelligent life?

Does the Liberator? [pause] There are creatures called "Subterrons". they live in caves, quite what that says for their intelligence I really wouldn't know.

Jenna

They don't like humanoids in general and in particular, homo sapiens.

That puts their intelligence beyond doubt.

I'm finished. Staying with you requires a degree of stupidity of which I no longer feel capable.

No, you're just being modest.

Say goodbye to one bolthole.

That wasn't funny, Avon.

It wasn't meant to be.

Vila

I'm entitled to my opinion.

It is your assumption that we are entitled to it as well that is irritating.

First sign of trouble, we get out, right?

Jenna

Goes without saying.

I only wish it did.

Vila

I told you I couldn't do it!

I believed you all along.

Vila

Nobody can open it!

I thought you could open anything - that's always been one of your more modest claims.

Jenna

It could be an injured pilot.

It could be a trap.

It's not a very good one, then. We're suspicious of it already.

The test is not whether you are suspicious but whether you are caught.

Are you alone here?

Yes, lord. Everything is as it was written. One waits.

For what?

[adoringly, to Avon] For you!

Vila

[quietly] I told you she was mad.

How long have you been waiting?

All of my life, as those before me waited. But it is I who welcome you! Welcome, lord, welcome!

Yes, well, let's not start all that again.

You've hurt her feelings now.

[averting her eyes] I have offended you.

No, you haven't offended me.

[looking back at Avon] Forgive me!

I forgive you.

Vila

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Probably.

Do you really believe we could launch that ship?

If the people who built that ship did their job properly, I don't see any reason why not. And it does seem that we have a reputation to live up to.

Vila

You certainly do, Lord Avon. I wonder why she picked on you.

Well now, you are hardly the stuff that gods are made of.

Vila

And you are, I suppose?

Apparently.

Meegat, I'm sorry you waited so long.

Our waiting brought you.

That seems like a poor reward, somehow.
