Travis quotes from Blake's 7

Travis

With no Teleport to snatch them away, they're mine.

Travis

A field officer, like myself, is frequently required to make fast, unconsidered decisions. You were all field officers, you know that's true. Time to think is a luxury battle seldom affords you. You react instinctively. Your actions, your decisions, all instinct, nothing more. But, an officer's instincts are the product of his training. The more thorough the training, the more predictable the instinct, the better the officer. And I am a good officer. I have been in the service all my adult life. I'm totally dedicated to my duty and highly trained in how to perform it. On Serkasta I, I reacted as I was trained to react. I was an instrument of the service. So if I'm guilty of murder, of mass murder, then so are all of you!

Travis

[When Travis is about to secretly let a horde of Aliens through a galactic defense shield to wipe out all of humanity] My one regret is that they'll never know who really killed them...

She's not yet well enough to submit to intensive questioning. She must have rest.

Travis

Yes, thank you very much indeed, Doctor, you are relieved of your responsibility for the prisoner. She is now the property ... the concern of the interrogation division.

Servalan

What's the matter?

Travis

Maryatt.

Servalan

What about him?

Travis

His disappearance--there may be questions.

Servalan

In twelve hours, I shall have him posted as a deserter.

Travis

[quietly] And his family go into slavery in one of the frontier worlds.

Servalan

It is the normal procedure in a case of desertion.

Travis

[quietly] Of course.

Travis

Do you remember the medic who saved my life?

Servalan

You're wasting time--

Travis

[interrupting] It was Maryatt.

Servalan

Does it matter?

Travis

...no. No. Only Blake matters now.

Servalan

Are you beginning to have doubts, Travis?

Travis

No. It won't fail.

Servalan

I hope not, there will be no second chances.

Travis

I won't need them, it's running my way now. The luck has changed. It's my turn!

Servalan

Capturing the girl is the only luck you've had so far.

Travis

That single event has given me total control of the situation.

Travis

They'll dig us out eventually.

Servalan

Oh yes. They'll dig us out eventually. And then I'll bury you.

Travis

[after taking a flask of liquor Par has brought him] All right, Par. What have I done to deserve this?

Sir?

Travis

Faithful trooper, beloved officer -- not quite how I see either of us.

You always looked after your men, sir. Now you're gonna die. We thought a drink was the least we could do, sir.

Travis

I will make the opening declaration.

Look, don't be a fool. You really think you're going to impress them sympathetically?

Travis

I think the Supreme Commander wants me to go to my death quietly. This is as close to quietly as I am going to get.

Look, I'm trying to save your life, Travis--

Travis

You'd be better occupied trying to save your own, Thania. Majors can die quite anonymously. And your involvement in this fiasco makes your life expectancy only slightly longer than my own.

Travis

Put the gun down, Avon, it's too late to stop it now.

Convince me.

Travis

Be polite and I may let you live.

Be informative and I may let you die. You'll want that after I've shot off an arm and a leg or two.

Travis

I thought you were supposed to be the one with brains.

Brains but no heart. Now talk or scream, Travis, the choice is yours.

[believing he is talking to Travis] Why have you betrayed your own kind? Why have you given us the means to eradicate your species?

Eradicate humanity?

Virtually.

[re-assuming Travis' arrogant persona] Well. Maybe I just don't like crowds!

Travis! (He collapses, apparently dead)

You are Travis?

Travis

I am Travis.

Then who is this?

Travis

His name is Blake. (He looks down and smirks in contempt) Hm. His name was Blake.
