Avon: It does seem we have a reputation to live up to. Vila: You certainly do, Lord Avon. I wonder why she picked on you? Avon: Well now, you are hardly the stuff that gods are made of. Vila: And you are, I suppose. Avon: Apparently.

Travis: Right. You're almost as ruthless as I am. Servalan: You underestimate me, Travis. Travis: It begins to look that way.

It occurred to me that if Ensor didn't get back in time, then in a very little while his father would die. So I took the precaution of placing a small explosive device in his ship.
