Cally(to Blake): Are you all right?
Jenna: He's a hard man to rescue when he doesn't want to be rescued.
Avon: More to the point, are you yourself?
Blake: What happened? Why aren't we at Del 10? What's going on, Avon?
Avon: Why don't you just say thank you, nicely.

Vila: They say it's wide open.
Avon: What is?
Vila: Freedom City.
Avon: So I've heard; Wide wide open.
Vila: Got everything a man ever dreams of, they say.
Avon: Space City pales by comparison, they say.
Vila: Y'know if it was a desert down there. So hot your eyeball frizzled, poisonous snakes under every rock.
Avon: Blake would've sent us.
Vila: You can bet on it.

Avon: As far as I'm concerned you can destroy whatever you like. You can stir up a thousand revolutions. You can wade in blood up to your armpits. Oh, and you can lead the rabble to victory -- whatever that may mean. Just so long as there's an end to it. When Star One is gone, it is finished, Blake. And I want it finished! I want it over and done with, I want to be free!
Cally: But you are free now, Avon.
Avon: [Bitterly, while glaring at Blake] I want to be free of him!
Cally: But you are free now, Avon.

Travis: Put the gun down, Avon, it's too late to stop it now.
Avon: Convince me.
Travis: Be polite and I may let you live.
Avon: Be informative and I may let you die. You'll want that after I've shot off an arm and a leg or two.
Travis: I thought you were supposed to be the one with brains.
Avon: Brains but no heart. Now talk or scream, Travis, the choice is yours.

Zen: Damage control estimates that breakdown is now beyond the capacity of auto-repair systems in all areas. Serious malfunction in life-support would indicate that evacuation by life capsule is a priority one requirement.

Dayna: I Like the ancient weapons. The spear, the sword, the knife. They demand more skill. When you fight with them, conflict becomes more personal... More exciting.
Avon: More dangerous.
Dayna: Of course! Without danger, there's no pleasure.
Avon: That must limit your range of pleasures a bit.

Servalan: [Pointing a gun at Avon's head from behind] Stay quite still.
Avon: Servalan.
Servalan: You don't sound surprised.
Avon: Why should I be? It has a perverse kind of logic to it. Our meeting is the most unlikely happening I could imagine; therefore, we meet. Surprise seems inappropriate somehow.

Hal Mellanby: You're not alone in losing your ship. The losses on both sides have been tremendous. I've been monitoring the status transmissions.
Kerr Avon: Did we win?
Hal: Sounds very confused, but there's not much doubt. The aliens were virtually wiped out.
Avon: Well the price was high enough. But at least we got what we paid for.
Hal: You almost didn't. It was a close run thing; what's left of the federation fleet, which isn't much, is scattered halfway across the galaxy. I'd say the Federation is in a lot of trouble.
Avon: Yes, it's difficult to sustain a military dictatorship when you've lost most of the military. [Hal laughs] I only hope Blake survived long enough to know that he was winning.... Both wars.
Hal: Blake? You were with Blake?
Avon: Yes. Though it hardly seems to matter now, if it ever did.
Hal: If it mattered? Blake and the Liberator. I've been hearing reports over the last couple of years. You were magnificent!
Avon: Not from where I was sitting.

[Discussing Dayna]
Hal: She has a genius with weaponry systems. And that's not just a father's pride talking.
Avon: And yet, with all this to choose from, she still goes around with a bow and arrows.
Hal: She takes absurd risks. I try to discourage her but I think she's trying to prove to herself that there's no weapon, ancient or modern, she cannot master.

Avon: Orac, I want a status report on the Liberator.
Orac: The ship has sustained considerable damage. But is now operating at fifty-four percent of normal capacity. This is increasing rapidly as the auto repair systems complete their functions.
Avon: Can you give me a direct voice link with the Zen computer?
Orac: Wait.
[Pause]
Avon: Come on, Orac, Come on!
Orac: Communicators have locked onto your voice-beam channel, transmission may begin.
Avon: Zen, this is Avon. Have you any information about the rest of the crew?
Zen: Direct instructions have been recieved from Blake.
Avon: Where is he? Is he safe?
Zen: He reports he is uninjured. A locator malfunction at the time of transmission made it impossible to calculate his exact position.
Avon: The others?
Zen: Routine message interception indicates that Jenna is now on a hospital ship. Her injuries are superficial.
Avon: What was the destination of the hospital ship?
Zen: That information was unclear.
Avon: Alright. What about Vila and Cally?
Zen: There has been no communication from either of them.
Avon: Is the Teleport in operation?
Zen: Repairs will be complete in two hours and thirty four minutes.
Avon: How soon can you bring the Liberator into Teleport range?
Zen: Eight hours is the estimated time.
Avon: Try and improve on that. Enter orbit with Teleport facility set to random pick-up.
Zen: Confirmed.
Avon: Keep listening out for Vila and Cally. If either of them come in, give their pickup priority over mine.

Servalan: You have one other quality I admire. Very much.
Avon: Yes?

[Avon is trying to pick the lock to their cell]
Dayna: Do you want me to try it?
Avon: Are you any good with locks?
Dayna: No. But then neither are you by the look of it.
Avon: You should never judge by appearances.
Dayna: I don't. I judge by results, and you're not getting any.
Avon: Wrong again. [Opens the door]

Tarrant: It all seems quiet enough, Cally, if you don't count the volcano. I should let Orac take over. I think it's going to be some time before we find these friends of Dayna's.
