Blake's 7

Avon: Right, I'll just contact Vila. (into bracelet) Are you awake? Vila: (over comm) No. Avon: (smiles) That's what I thought.

Avon: It is frequently easier to be honest when you have nothing to lose.

Cally: (to the Ortega crew) Remember that Avon and I will be staying. We will regard ourselves as hostages against Blake's return. Avon: Well, thank you, Cally. What a clever idea. Cally: (telepathically) Blake will return. Avon: You can bet your life on it. In fact, you've just bet both our lives on it. (Blake smiles)

Blake: You're quite sure about volunteering to stay? Cally: We must help these people. Avon: Must we? Personally, I don't care if their whole planet turns into a mushroom. I shall stay because I don't like an unsolved mystery.

Cally: My people have a saying: A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken. Avon: Life expectancy must be fairly short among your people.

Cally: So who do you think it is? Avon: Mandrian. Cally: Why? Avon: Instinct. I discount Dr Kendall. Cally: I thought you mistrusted instinct. Avon: I do. So I am probably wrong.

Blake: Have the locators detected the outer edge of the storm yet? Vila: No. Yes! No! Maybe... Blake: Which is it, Vila? Vila: It's maybe.

Gan: Power reserves are almost gone. Zen: In one point zero three minutes, it will no longer be possible to operate force wall and main drive simultaneously. Please decide which to close down. Jenna: Without main drive we'll never get out of this. Vila: Without the force wall we'll be smashed to pieces. Blake: Have the locators detected the outer edge of the storm yet? Vila: No. Yes! No. Maybe... Blake: Which is it, Vila? Vila: It's `Maybe'. Zen: Directive is now required. Blake: Jenna, stand by to feed all power through to the main drive when the force wall is down. Gan, deactivate the force wall. Gan: Deactivating...

Avon: You're not going anywhere, Sara. You don't just get off a spaceship and run.
