Blake's 7

Raiker: What's your name? Jenna: Jenna Stannis. Raiker:Unfortunately, Jenna, there are no special facilities for female prisoners. But if you should find things difficult, I might be able to arrange something more comfortable. Jenna: That's very considerate of you. Raiker:Why make it hard on yourself? Jenna: Why indeed?

Blake: Do you know how those door panels work? Vila: No, not that type. Avon: It's simple enough. All authorised personnel have their palm prints filed in the computer. The blue sensor plate reads the print. If it conforms, the computer opens the door. Blake: Neat. Avon: Most computer-based functions are. Vila: Blake -- Kerr Avon. When it comes to computers, he's the number two man in all the Federated worlds. Nova: Who's number one? Vila: The guy who caught him.

Vila (to Avon): You've got nothing to be ashamed of. D'you know, he came close to stealing five million credits out of the Federation Banking System! Blake : What went wrong? Avon: I relied on other people.

Avon: Don't try and manipulate me, Blake. Blake: Now why should I try and do that? Avon: You need my help. Blake: Only if you can open the doors. Avon: I could open every door, blind all the scanners, knock out the security over-rides and control the computer. Control the computer and you control the ship.

Gan: Don't be nervous, Vila. Vila: Nervous? I'm not nervous. Just... poised for action, that's all. Avon: You've got an army of five, Blake. Five and (pointing toward Vila) HIM! Do you still think you can take over the ship?

Blake: All right, you go then. Vila: Me? Uh, I'd be glad to, it's just … I've got this problem with confined spaces. There's a medical name for it. Jenna: Cowardice?

Gan: (to the guard) Look, we only need the hand. If you want to stay attached to it, do as you're told.

Blake: (of Earth) That's where the heart of the Federation is. I intend to see that heart torn out. Avon: I thought you were probably insane. Blake: That' s possible. They butchered my family and my friends. They murdered my past and gave me tranquiilized dreams. Jenna: At least you're still alive. Blake: No, not until free men can think and speak. Not until power is back with the honest man. Avon: Have you ever met an honest man? Jenna: Perhaps. Avon: Listen to me. Wealth is the only reality. And the only way to obtain wealth is to take it away from somebody else. Wake up, Blake! You may not be tranquilized any longer but you're still dreaming.

Raiker: You could have won, Blake. All you needed was guts. Blake: I'll settle for yours.

Avon (to Blake): What a fiasco. You could take over the ship, you said, if I did my bit. Well, I did my bit, and what happened? Your troops bumble around looking for someone to surrender to, and when they've succeeded, you follow suit.
