Vila quotes from Blake's 7

[Hands Vila a gunbelt] Put that on.

Vila

But I can barely stand.

Then crawl, but put that on!

It's exactly as though Ensor were speaking.

Surely it is obvious even to the meanest intelligence that during my development I would naturally become endowed with aspects of my creator's personality.

The more endearing aspects by the sound of it.

Possibly. However similarities between myself and Ensor are entirely superficial. My mental capacity is infinitely greater.

Jenna

Modest, isn't he?

Modesty would be dishonesty.

Vila

What's wrong with being dishonest?

Is that a question?

Vila

Yes.

The question is futile. Were I to say that I am incapable of dishonesty how would you know if I was being dishonest or not?

A question for a question. Well, you're capable of evasion, anyway.

Vila

I think I've heard enough, I don't like him. Orac, be a good junk heap; shut up.

Vila

Where did those ships come from? Who were they?

Yes, and why did they attack? Zen was confident they weren't Federation.

Vila

So why did they pick on me?

I doubt if it was personal, Vila.

Vila

It felt personal. It always feels personal when someone tries to kill me.

Vila

When you get Zen working, ask him to prescribe something for a headache, will you? I've got this shocking pain right behind the eyes.

Have you considered amputation?

Jenna

What happened to your head?

Vila

One of the guards didn't like me.

[looking at Space City on the viewscreen of the Liberator] So that is Space City.

Vila

Also known as "The Satellite of Sin".

By who?

Vila

Me.

It had to be someone of limited imagination.

Vila

Stop worrying, Cally, I'll be back soon. Tell you what, I'll bring you back a present! What would you like, Cally? Name it, and it's yours...

Cally

A necklace, Vila. Made from your teeth.

Ironic, isn't it? We were hoping to use the Terra Nostra to attack the Federation, only to discover that it is already being used to support it.

Vila

Where are all the good guys?

Could be looking at them.

What a very depressing thought.

Cally

Sooner or later, Blake is going to attack Federation Central Control on Earth itself.

Vila

Later. Much later.

And alone, probably.

Jenna

I doubt that.

He wouldn't be alone if you just left him, Avon.

You would stay with him?

Yes.

It is a triple-A security installation.

Vila

We have got into those before.

Usually with your screams of protest ringing in our ears. Are you telling me you're in favour of this idea?

Vila

No! Not exactly...I just don't think it's stupid. Perhaps...maybe I'm on your side, Cally.

It's not a question of sides, Vila.

We do not know what IMIPAK is.

Exactly. The least we've got to do is find out what it does.

Vila

Why have we? I can live without it.

It's just conceivable that you can't.

Unless of course you want your last words to be, "So that's IMIPAK."

Vila

Why don't you go?

You are expendable.

Vila

And you're not?

No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.

[Via Communicator] Liberator, we're at the rendezvous point, everything's all right.

You have made contact with Kasabi?

Not yet. Not directly.

Then everything is not 'all right.'

It will be, I'll get back to you.

[To Vila] Do you get the feeling there's something he's not telling us?

Jenna

I dunno. I hate waiting like this.

Vila

It could be worse; we could be down there with them.

Cally

I'd prefer that to being here.

Vila

You're welcome to take my place when the time comes.

If it comes.

Cally

What do you mean?

Something's not right.

Vila

He's failed to make contact with Kasabi.

Exactly. But Kasabi's signal came from the rendezvous point. Blake has arrived there and failed to make contact.

Jenna

That doesn't necessarily mean anything disastrous. Perhaps they're just being extra careful

Let's hope so. Because I have a feeling that we are not being careful enough.

Vila

I don't want to go.

You surprise me.

Vila

I don't feel well. I'm going to be a big handicap.

I'm used to that.

Vila

[Talk about Gan] He was straightforward, wasn't always expecting to be cheated and double-crossed -- not like us. He trusted people -- he trusted Blake completely.

Jenna

Much good it did him.

Welcome back to reality, Jenna.
