Tarrant quotes from Blake's 7

Democracy. You're outvoted, Avon. Three to two.

Vila

Four to one. I like to stay with the winners whenever possible.

This should snap her out of it.

Vila

That stuff would snap an asteroid out of orbit!

Why? I don't even ... I never saw him before. What have I ever done to him?

Dayna

You killed someone he loved.

Vila

And there aren't many of them about. Avon's not a very lovable man, in case you hadn't noticed.

Who was it?

Did they give you names when they gave you your orders?

Dayna

And even if they did, could you put a face to the name? One screaming face among so many screaming faces?

Vila

Did they beg, Shrinker? Did they plead? No, Shrinker, please, Shrinker?

Can you remember how they cried, what they cried? Can you separate the voices now?

Dayna

Or is it just one long, satisfying scream?

Cally

Stop it! Stop it! All of you! Leave him alone.

He's an animal, Cally.

Cally

Yes, and it's contagious, isn't it?

Is it done?

Yes, but it isn't finished.

Vila

Wonderful. Who's next on your list? Servalan?

[Activates Orac] Orac.

[Annoyed] What is it now?

Gracious as ever. Orac, I want you to interrogate the Federation Security computers and get me Servalan's present location.

Vila

I was joking, Avon!

I'm going down alone.

Not this time.

This has nothing to do with you -- with any of you.

That's true.

Dayna

On the other hand, you are something to do with us.

Cally

We've talked about it, and discovered we care what happens to you.

Within reason, of course.

Dayna

We're as surprised about it as you are.

Vila

Not to mention embarrassed.

What's the matter with you, Servalan? I'm offering to set you free.

You're offering to let her go. That's not the same thing.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the President of the Terran Federation, Ruler of the High Council, Lord of the Inner and Outer Worlds, High Admiral of the Galactic Fleets, Lord General of the Six Armies, and Defender of the Earth.

Get to the point.

The point is, that a few dozen guerrillas walked in, killed her guards, beat her up, and then chained her up. You want to set her free? Convince her that it didn't happen.

Ah, Cally - I've been going over that theory of yours about the teleport bracelets boosting each other. As you're aware, it doesn't make sense.

Cally

You have a better one?

There was some kind of power source on that alien ship that you were telepathically receptive to. When the teleport failed, you were able to use that source to get yourself out, and to get Avon and Vila out with you.

What I really want to know is why you're being so bashful. (serious) What are you hiding, and why?

Shut up, Tarrant.

I said, shut up. I apologise for not realising you are deaf.

You also talk too much.

Be thankful I'm restricting myself to talk.

Well now, that's fascinating. You mean you can do something else?

Avon...do you want to forget I said all that?

It wasn't particularly memorable.

Either it is dead or there is a total radio blackout. I wonder what they have to hide.

Dayna

I'm not keen on finding out.

This time, neither am I.

Don't you find it interesting?

Dayna

You'll be telling us next 'We can learn a lot from whoever built it'

Well we certainly have nothing to teach them unless it's how to remain ignorant. What do you think Cally? Shall we stay and observe or shall we scuttle off with our closed minds intact?

Touch of conscience?

More like insanity. You really believe in taking risks, don't you?

Calculated ones.

Calculated on what? Your fingers?

You can't be serious. You don't believe what they say?

Dayna

We have to believe if we hope to survive. Kiss me.

Dayna

I said, kiss me. (leans closer to Tarrant) Come on. I can't be all that repulsive. (they kiss)

Tarrant. I presume you have no tedious scruples about cheating and lying.

None at all.

(smiles) Oh good.

How do we approve of something we don't know about?

You could try trusting me.

All right, Avon, we'll try trusting you. Just don't expect us to make a habit of it.
