Tarrant: I can't make you go, of course.
Vila: That's right. You can't.
Tarrant: But I can toss you off this ship!
Vila: What?!
Tarrant: You're no use to me.
Vila: I don't have to be any use to you! I was here first. I was with Blake! I've more right on this ship than you have!
|
Vila: All my life, for as long as I can remember, there's been people like you.
Tarrant: And I thought I was unique.
Vila: You're not even unusual, Tarrant.
|
Cally: What's wrong with Vila?
Tarrant: I scared him a little.
Cally: That must have been difficult.
|
Tarrant: Me?! Who could be nervous of me?
Cally: Only Vila, it seems.
|
Tarrant: But I gave them my word.
Avon: You didn't give them mine.
Tarrant: Now you tell me.
|
Avon: (referring to Vila) He is irritating but useful. We can easily replace a pilot, but a talented thief is rare.
|
Vila: Let's get on with it then.
Avon: No last-minute protests? No sudden illnesses?
Vila: Look I have to go down, he made that clear, but I don't have to take any rubbish about it from you all right?
Vila: Alright. Take this.
(Avon hands him a tracer)
Vila: What is it? Slow-acting poison? Are your hands clean?
|
Vila: Wonderful. I'm going to die on a planet that hasn't even got a name anymore.
|
Tarrant: I appealed to his better nature.
Avon: He hasn't got one. Leave him alone in future.
Tarrant: Or?
Avon: Do you want me to threaten you?
Tarrant: Why not. I haven't had a good laugh in ages.
Avon: Sensible. You could die laughing.
|
Tarrant: I was sure I could trust them. I would stake my life on it.
Cally: You did stake Vila's.
Tarrant: Did I really! I'd forgotten!
|
Bayban: You must be Vila. It's an honour.
Vila: The honour's mine.
Bayban: That's what I meant.
|
Vila: I've been an admirer of yours for...as long as I can remember. Well, maybe not that long, you're not that old. Then again, you did start very young, didn't you. I think I feel sick.
|
Vila: A bomb?
Bayban: Yes. Bang, you're dead. That sort of thing.
|
Bayban: (referring to his mother) "Bayb," she used to say. She called me "Bayb."
|
Avon: It's a pity we're not all as reliable as Zen.
Cally: But I thought you were!
|
Tarrant: Why should Vila trust me?
Avon: Because he knows what I think of him.
Tarrant: You despise him.
Avon: Right. At least I'm consistent about it.
|
Vila: I don't believe in suicide. It stunts your growth.
|
Kerril: Can I do anything?
Vila: Keep the sweat out of my eyes. No, don't do that. Your legs are bad for my concentration.
|
Avon: How'd you like me to let some fresh air into that rancid brain of yours?
Bayban: Go ahead - you'd be famous! "The man who killed Bayban."
Cally: I'd quite like to be famous too. How about "the woman that killed Bayban?"
Dayna: Or better still, "the girl who killed Bayban"!
|
Vila: One small step for man. So how do we get back?
|
Cally: Vila! We thought we'd lost you!
Avon: Every silver lining has a cloud.
|
Cally: Vila! We thought we'd lost you!
Avon: Every silver lining has a cloud.
|
Avon: I'm impressed.
Vila: Wonderful. That makes it all worthwhile.
|
Vila: I think I've just made the greatest mistake of my life.
Orac: In 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 them.
Vila: Shut up, Orac. Still, it's a comforting thought. Let's hope they've all got good legs.
