I'll tell you a fact of life, Blake! Change is inevitable!
Why else do we fight, Avon?
[Over communicator to Liberator] I'm down and safe. I'm somewhere inside the main complex. Is Vila ready?
[Over communicator] Hold on, just checking. [To Vila] Are you ready?
Tell him I've just worked out a completely new strategy. It's called Running away.
[Over communicator] He's ready.
There isn't a lock I can't open... if I'm scared enough.
Are you scared enough for that one?
What do you think?
You're quite sure about volunteering to stay?
Well, we must help these people.
Must we? Personally I don't care if their whole planet turns into a mushroom. I shall stay because I don't like an unsolved mystery.
Where are Cally and Avon?
It's a long story.
Well, what's in the box?
That's an even longer story.
I like stories.
I get the distinct feeling I offended Zen's professional pride.
It's just a machine, Blake.
And he should know.
Well, Avon is the expert.
That's not what I meant.
No. He was calling me a machine. But since he undoubtedly defines himself as a human being, I shall choose to take that as more of a compliment than anything else.
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.
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.
I'm finished. Staying with you requires a degree of stupidity of which I no longer feel capable.
No, you're just being modest.
(XK-72 has been destroyed by pursuit ships)
Say goodbye to one bolthole.
That wasn't funny, Avon.
It wasn't meant to be.
Did she really think you were a god?
For a while.
How did it feel?
Don't you know?
Yes. I don't like the responsibility either.
You are carrying weapons. You will remove them.
We'd prefer to keep them with us.
You will remove them!
No.
(Orac fires at the ground in front of them)
We will remove them.
I disapprove of weapons.
So do I, but I disapprove of dying even more.
