Blake quotes from Blake's 7

There can be no justification for deliberate murder.

You don't matter enough to kill, Travis.

on Travis: How do you demonstrate the death of a friend to a man who hasn't got any?

[To Avon] For what it is worth, I have always trusted you. Right from the very beginning.

You're on your way to the penal colony on Cygnus Alpha. Or you will be when the prison ship's refueled. Try to look on the bright side: It must have something; none of the guests have ever left early... In fact none of them have ever left at all.

Why are you going there?

Vila

They didn't give me a choice. [Pause] I steal things. compulsive, I'm afraid. I've had my head adjusted by some of the best in the business. But it just won't stay adjusted.

A professional thief?

Vila

More a vocation than a profession; other people's property just comes naturally to me.

No, not until free men can think and speak. Not until power is back with the honest man.

Have you ever met an honest man?

What went wrong?

I relied on other people.

If you had access to the computer, could you open the doors?

Of course. Why?

Just wondered how good you really were.

Don't try to manipulate me, Blake.

Jenna

How do you feel?

Sick.

So you should. What a fiasco. You could take over the ship, you said, if I did my bit. Well, I did my bit, and what happened? Your troops bumble around looking for someone to surrender to, and when they've succeeded, you follow suit.

I hope Mr Raiker's made it clear to you that you can refuse to do this.

Oh yes, he's also made it clear that summary execution is one of our options. We chose the other.

[Picks up one of Liberator's side-arms] Hand gun?

It's a bit elaborate for a tooth pick.

Depends how elaborate their teeth were.

Seven of us can run this ship properly.

Vila

Six, surely.

You forgot Zen.

You're not counting that machine as a member of the crew.

Oh, what do you say to that, Zen?

Please state course and speed.

Very diplomatic. Set a course for Centero, speed standard by two.

Confirmed.

Except that we're not going to hide. Very soon now the Federation ships will know exactly where we are. Or at least where we've been.

Vila

I don't follow you.

Oh, but you do. And that's the problem.

Cally

Out!

Vila

No need for belligerence, pretty lady! I'm harmless!

Vila

Quick, isn't she?

Cally

Is he one of your crew?

One of them.

[offscreen] And he's useless, as he said!

I've had a gun on you the whole time. You were dead as soon as you broke cover.

Vila

"Harmless" was the word I used.

And you couldn't even get that right!

Thank you... why?

Automatic reaction, I'm as surprised as you are.

I'm not surprised.
