Blake's 7 Season 1 quotes

Vila rescued me?

You were injured trying to rescue Cally. He rescued you. Suddenly I am hip deep in heroes.

Stay here.

Vila

You wouldn't like to leave the gun?

That's right, I wouldn't.

Dorian

The name's Dorian. And in case you hadn't noticed, I just saved your friends' lives.

You know what they say: no good deed goes unpunished.

[as the surface of the planet Terminal is being rocked by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions] All pilot systems are green. Count is two minutes and running. Better strap down tight, I haven't lifted these into orbit too often.

Dayna

How often?

...once.

Vila

When was that?

...in about one minute and forty five seconds.

If we last that long.

Dayna

Cheer up, Vila. You've got a lot of very bright associates too.

Vila

Oh yeah? Name six.

[pointing his gun at an unconscious Dorian] Wake up now or sleep for good, the choice is yours.

Dorian

You're going to kill me anyway. Sooner or later.

You would prefer it sooner?

Dorian

Everything has its price, Avon. You have to decide whether you want to pay it or not. That's all.

Vila

Well, I don't believe in paying.

Dorian

You mean you're here by choice?

He who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken. Cally once told me that that was a saying amongst her people.

Dorian

Cally?

Cally was murdered. So were most of her people.

Dorian

Who designed it?

His name was Ensor.

Dorian

I should have known. He was never a gracious man. Orac reflects his personality.

Orac was the culmination of his life's work. [Avon removes Orac's key] He bequeathed it to an associate of mine who bequeathed it to me.

Vila

[Drinking a glass of Dorian's wine] You know, Avon may be right about getting out of here. There's something very suspicious about a man who keeps his booze under lock and key.

Vila

I'm going to give up drinking, you know. It'll be pink asteroids next.

You must be very clever.

Vila

That's what I keep telling everyone. They even believed me in CF One.

CF One?

Vila

A sort of academy, when I was a boy. They chose me as technical advisor for the escape.

Escape? From an academy?

Vila

Perhaps academy was the wrong word.

What's the tally of challenges?

Twenty-five dead and one missing, sir.

Oh, come on, Cato. Don't quibble. Marquin fell backwards off the cliff.

Yes, sir.

So he's dead. Like, you can't say someone's missing as such. Not when they've taken a dive into a bottomless gorge.

No, sir.

So, it's twenty-six dead.

The council ruled it was twenty-five, sir, and one missing.

[turning to face Avon] Twenty-five men lie dead who tried to stand against me. And one, if he's not still falling, is no more than a greasy spot on the rocks, right?

Impressive.

You killed two men.

If I'd known we were keeping score, I would have brought more ammunition.

Pick a weapon.

I'll have a neutron blaster.

No neutron blasters.

In that case I'll have a glove.
