Scenes with Cally 36

The trouble with the people of Auron is that they all suffer from a superiority complex.

You should get on with them then.

Too good to become involved with the rest of humanity.

Cally

That's not true. Just because we happen to be neutral...

[Interuppting] Neutrality or pacifism: it all boils down to the same gutless inanity.

I'm going down alone.

Not this time.

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

That's true.

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.

We're as surprised about it as you are.

Not to mention embarrassed.

Auron.

Cally

Yes, Auron. It's pointless to think about it. I'll never see it again.

That's why you've been shut in here for ten hours, thinking about Auron and how you'll never see it again?

Cally

That's why.

I wish I could promise you that the sparkling company on the flight deck would take you out of yourself.

Cally

I'm all right.

No you're not. But you will be. Regret is part of being alive. But keep it a small part.

Cally

As you do?

(Smiles) Demonstrably.

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.

Cally (sarcastically): I seem to be more clever than I thought I was!

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

Shut up, Tarrant.

Tarrant (angrily): Did you say something to--

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

ACAlien/Cally

I thought you were the clever one. You're a fool, like Tarrant! The pain Tarrant is experiencing ... visualise that pain and much more. You're as close to death as you have ever been. Think about human death, Avon, irrevocable...

I have thought about it, what's keeping you?

ACAlien/Cally

What did you say?

You claim you can kill me. You'd better get on with it. Make me die. There's nothing else you can make me do.

Oh, come on, Avon. Look, we've been through a lot together. We've always been at risk; we've always taken chances. But we've survived because we worked as a team. So what is it you have to do that makes this so different?

This happens to be my problem. None of you are involved.

But we are involved. However much you like to pretend you're a loner, you're not really. We depend on each other; I wouldn't be alive now if it wasn't for you, and I'm sure that's true of everybody else. So why not trust us?

Look, you don't have to give reasons. You don't even have to explain. Whatever it is, we'll back you up.

Cally

Or, if you want one of your own cold, rational explanations, we can't afford to lose you.

Avon (poker-faced): Sentiment breeds weakness. Let it get a hold of you and you are dead.
