Blakes 7 Quotes
Blake: His name is Tarrant.
Blake: [to Tarrant] Your flight computer mentioned it whilst you were unconscious.
Deva: Tarrant...
Blake: No, I wouldn't run it through the computer just yet, Deva. You see, this one has a very high Federation price on his head.
Deva: Are you sure?
Tarrant: Oh, give the man credit for knowing his trade, dirty though it is.
Blake: He also has several associates with Federation prices, and one of them is particularly valuable.
Tarrant: And all of them are particularly dead.
Blake: In which case, that other flier was merely a coincidence. A coincidence, however, that might just have analyzed a random flight program?
Deva: And the significance of that is...?
Blake: A very useful device called Orac. Why don't you sit down, Tarrant? If it is Avon, we shouldn't have much longer to wait.
Deva: [repeating back to Tarrant] "Give the man credit for knowing his trade."

Deva: Well, now, bounty hunter, that was a short trip even by your standards.
Blake: Short, but profitable. [Blake grabs Tarrant's gun]
Blake: Even by my standards.
Tarrant: Was it something I said?
Blake: Short, but profitable. [Blake grabs Tarrant's gun]
Blake: Even by my standards.
Tarrant: Was it something I said?

Dr. Bellfriar: Everyone who's been into deep space has had the Terran ague, or the three-day sweats as it's commonly known as. It's a sort of a mild infection, it slightly alters the body's nucleic structure, it seems to be a metabolic reaction to space travel. Well this new virus, Paratype 926, attacks those altered cells and acts as a catalyst, they burst and, well the effects are literally a series of explosions that race through the body's neural cell structure. The virus is easily cultured in human tissue or in nucleic acid solution. Now, here is the formula for the antiserum...
Blake: [On Liberator] Dr. Bellfriar, are you saying that this virus is only effective against human beings who've been in deep space?
Dr. Bellfriar: Precisely. It fits your theory. But I don't think that the virus was designed to *destroy* man, merely to confine him to his own planet. Now here is the formula.
Blake: Go ahead.
Dr. Bellfriar: H-N, H-N-O... oh my God!
Blake: Dr. Bellfriar! Dr. Bellfriar!
Dr. Bellfriar: I've forgotten how to read. [Dr. Bellfriar looks at his hands. They're covered in blisters. He groans and covers his face]
Blake: Transmission ends.
Vila: *Fosforon* ends.
Cally: It's no joke, Vila.

Roj Blake: Where are we?
Vila Restal: In a transit cell.
Roj Blake: I don't understand.
Vila Restal: You're on your way to the penal colony on Cygnus Alpha. Or you will be when the prison ship's refueled. Try to look on the bright side. It must have something. None of the guests have ever left early. In fact, none of them have ever left at all.
Roj Blake: Why are you going there?
Vila Restal: They didn't give me a choice. I steal things. Compulsive, I'm afraid. I've had my head adjusted by some of the best in the business. But it just won't stay adjusted.
Roj Blake: A professional thief.
Vila Restal: More a vocation than a profession. Other people's property comes naturally to me. [Jenna sits down next to them]
Jenna Stannis: [to Blake] What's the time?
Vila Restal: [returning Blake's watch] Just taking care of it while you were unconscious. The place is full of criminals.

Sub-Commander Raiker: [to Blake] What have we here? Not a troublemaker, I hope?
Blake: I didn't hear an order.
Sub-Commander Raiker: You didn't hear an order, sir... [shouts]
Sub-Commander Raiker: Say it!
Blake: I didn't hear an order... sir.
Sub-Commander Raiker: That's better. What's your name?
Blake: Blake.
Sub-Commander Raiker: So you're Blake. Well, made quite a name for yourself a few years back. Quite the celebrity. Something of a comedown for a leader of men, isn't it? Molesting kids?
Blake: The charges were false.
Sub-Commander Raiker: Oh, yes, of course. Well, let me tell you something, Blake, as far as I am concerned, you are just another piece of cargo. Remember that and you might just survive the journey. Do you understand?
Blake: I understand... sir.
Blake: I didn't hear an order.

[Vila can't contact anyone else on the Liberator]
Vila: Zen, has something happened to them?
Zen: Data is not available.
Vila: I don't want data, I want to know what's happening.
Zen: It will be necessary for you to make a personal investigation.
Vila: Oh, you're a big help. "Personal investigation." [Vila worriedly begins putting on a gunbelt]
Vila: "Personal investigation!" The next time Avon wants to make a personal investigation on how you work I shall make a personal point of handing him the instruments... personally!
