Blake's 7 quotes

[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.

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...

[To Avon] For what it is worth, I have always trusted you. Right from the very beginning.

Vila

Avon, this is stupid!

When did that ever stop us? (camera shows each in turn, then:) Fire!

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.

Well, I hope she's not totally insane. Under the circumstances that could be a little bit embarrassing.

Damage control estimates that breakdown is now beyond the capacity of auto-repair systems in all areas. Serious malfunction in life-support would indicate that evacuation by life capsule is a priority one requirement.

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.

I have had enough excitement for a while. Right now a little boredom wouldn't come amiss.

Servalan

[Pointing a gun at Avon's head from behind] Stay quite still.

Servalan.

Servalan

You don't sound surprised.

Why should I be? It has a perverse kind of logic to it. Our meeting is the most unlikely happening I could imagine; therefore, we meet. Surprise seems inappropriate somehow.

You're not alone in losing your ship. The losses on both sides have been tremendous. I've been monitoring the status transmissions.

Did we win?

Sounds very confused, but there's not much doubt. The aliens were virtually wiped out.

Well the price was high enough. But at least we got what we paid for.

You almost didn't. It was a close run thing; what's left of the federation fleet, which isn't much, is scattered halfway across the galaxy. I'd say the Federation is in a lot of trouble.

Yes, it's difficult to sustain a military dictatorship when you've lost most of the military. [Hal laughs] I only hope Blake survived long enough to know that he was winning.... Both wars.

Blake? You were with Blake?

Yes. Though it hardly seems to matter now, if it ever did.

If it mattered? Blake and the Liberator. I've been hearing reports over the last couple of years. You were magnificent!

Not from where I was sitting.

She has a genius with weaponry systems. And that's not just a father's pride talking.

And yet, with all this to choose from, she still goes around with a bow and arrows.

She takes absurd risks. I try to discourage her but I think she's trying to prove to herself that there's no weapon, ancient or modern, she cannot master.

I seldom comment on other people's ethics.

Servalan

I'm going to be honest with you.

That should be mildly disconcerting.

It's a great pity you and I have always been on opposite sides, Servalan.
