Dayna quotes from Blake's 7

Dayna

Are you feeling better?

Not really. But at least I'm still alive. If I was dead, I don't think I'd have this blinding headache.

What was that for?

Dayna

Curiosity.

I'm all in favour of healthy curiosity. I hope yours isn't satisfied too easily...I think you cured my headache.

Dayna

I Like the ancient weapons. The spear, the sword, the knife. They demand more skill. When you fight with them, conflict becomes more personal... More exciting.

More dangerous.

Dayna

Of course! Without danger, there's no pleasure.

That must limit your range of pleasures a bit.

Dayna

And once we're out?

This is my ship.

Dayna

Do you want me to try it?

Are you any good with locks?

Dayna

No. But then neither are you by the look of it.

You should never judge by appearances.

Dayna

I don't. I judge by results, and you're not getting any.

Wrong again. [Opens the door]

That's a difficult way to commit suicide.

Dayna

Perhaps he was cleaning it and it went off.

Dayna

I'll come with you.

I can do it faster on my own.

Dayna

Do what? Avon, why do you keep everything to yourself? Why so secretive?

Perhaps I'm shy. (Goes to leave) Anybody comes through this door, kill them! (Pause; sardonic smile) Anybody that isn't me, that is.

[Pointing his gun at Bayban] Bloodthirsty little maniac aren't you? Where's Vila?

Bayban

I don't know what you're talking about.

Hello, Bayban. I heard a rumour you were dead. Funny that, seems to be true.

Bayban

Do I know you?

That's the trouble with celebrities. They never remember the little people.

Where is Vila?!

Bayban

Who?

How would you like me to let some fresh air into that rancid little brain of yours?

Bayban

Go ahead, you'll be famous, "The man who killed Bayban."

Cally

[Pointing her gun at Bayban] I'd quite like to be famous too. How about "The woman that killed Bayban"?

Dayna

[Pointing her gun at Bayban] Or better still, "The girl who killed Bayban"?

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?

Do you know Orac's main drawback?

Dayna

He's too useful to destroy.

Irritating, isn't it?

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.

Dayna

We need sleep, all of us. Even you need sleep, Tarrant.

If it does, you can assume you're on the wrong ship.

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?

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)

Dayna

Do we fight?

Certainly not, we run.

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.

Dayna

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?

Vila

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.
