Cally (on Vila): He was terrified. So terrified he might just get himself killed, because it's easier than going on.
I'll take that risk.
It isn't yours to take.

I'll get you for this, Tarrant! I'll tear your arm off and beat you to death with the wet end! I'll get you for this!
I may have to get rid of Kerril. Be a pity; she's the best gun hand I ever had, but, ah, she's got no team spirit, you know. And you can't run an outfit like mine without team spirit.
What outfit is it exactly, if you don't mind me asking?
Oh, I do mind you asking. I mind very much!
You don't know who I am.
Absolutely not, no idea. You needn't worry about it, I won't ask any questions.
A small-time thief, and failed revolutionary, and you don't know who I am?
Ah. Well, if you put it like that, of course I know who you are. You're -- you're, ah --
Bayban.
Bayban, yes.
Bayban the Beserker. Bayban the Butcher.
Bayban the Butcher . . . you're Bayban the Butcher! Oh, no.
That's better.
You're top of the Federation's Most Wanted list -- after Blake.
What do you mean, "after Blake"? I was working my way up that list before he crept out of his creche. WORKING my way up. I didn't take any political shortcuts.
I know, I know. You have a reputation for straightforward mayhem that's second to none. I've been an admirer of yours for, um, well, for as long as I can remember. Well maybe not that long, I mean, uh, you're not that old, are you? But, uh, then again, you did start very young, didn't you? I think I feel sick.
My mother [Sees the look on Vila's face] Oh yes, I had a mother; truly evil person. My mother used to say "Babe" -- she called me Babe -- "babe", she said, "Live every hour as though it were your last." I'll be back in an hour.
AAvon
The point is that Vila won't trust you whereas he will trust Cally and me.
Cally yes, but why you?
AAvon
Because he knows what I think about him.
You despise him.
AAvon
Right. But at least I'm consistent about it.
SSherm
You've twenty-five minutes left.
Who told you that?

Bayban:
I didn't think you could have worked it for yourself... Joke! Just a joke.
I don't believe in suicide, it stunts your growth!
[Sees a corpse decayed to a skeleton] Lost a lot of weight, hasn't he?
AAvon
[Pointing his gun at Bayban] Bloodthirsty little maniac aren't you? Where's Vila?
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Tarrant and Dayna enter]
Hello, Bayban. I heard a rumour you were dead. Funny that, seems to be true.
Do I know you?
That's the trouble with celebrities. They never remember the little people.
AAvon
Where is Vila?!
Who?
AAvon
How would you like me to let some fresh air into that rancid little brain of yours?
Go ahead, you'll be famous, "The man who killed Bayban."
[Pointing her gun at Bayban] I'd quite like to be famous too. How about "The woman that killed Bayban"?
[Pointing her gun at Bayban] Or better still, "The girl who killed Bayban"?
KKerril
If you think what happened in here gives you the right to treat me like some sort of...
Treat you like some sort of what? I haven't treated you like any sort of anything.
Vila, we thought we'd lost you!
AAvon
…but every silver lining has a cloud.
I'd say you'd got that wrong, except I know you didn't.
KKerril
Are you coming with me?
I can't.
KKerril
Why not? It's a chance to be free, you saw that place, it's beautiful.
But there's nothing there worth stealing!
[Vila has left Kerril]
I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life.
OOrac
In the light of your previous record, that seems unlikely. I would predict that there are far greater mistakes waiting to be made by someone with your obvious talent for it.
Shut up, Orac. [Switched Orac Off] Still, it's a comforting thought. Let's hope they've all got good legs!
Why Earth?
Why not?
The Himalayas are quite tall at this time of year.
