Time Squad (1978)

Paul Darrow: Kerr Avon

Quotes 

• Blake : Zen, report status.

  Zen : Liberator is stationary and is stabilized in an anti-orbital posture.

  Vila : Whatever that means.

  Blake : It means we got it right.

  Jenna : Together we can fly this ship manually.

  Gan : I think we make a good team.

  Avon : [sardonic]  Well hooray for us.

• Roj Blake : Up until now we've only been a minor irritation to the Federation. I think it's about time we hurt them.

  Jenna Stannis : I don't like the sound of that.

  Kerr Avon : Neither do I. I thought it was agreed we wouldn't do anything without discussing it thoroughly.

  Roj Blake : True. It was also agreed that anybody could opt out at any time. Just tell me when you want to leave.

  Kerr Avon : Oh, I will. But in the meantime I think we have a right to know what it is you're planning.

  Roj Blake : Zen, set a course for Saurian Major, speed standard by two.

  Zen : Speed and course confirmed.

  Kerr Avon : That falls a little short of my idea of a thorough discussion.

• Roj Blake : They've built a vast transceiver complex there. All Federation signals and navigation controls are beamed into Saurian Major, boosted and redirected. It's a vital nerve center in the Federation space control system. Destroy that, and you blind, deafen and silence them. That's what we're going to do.

  Kerr Avon : A blow for freedom.

  Olag Gan : Yes, our freedom. For a clever man you're not very bright. Deaf, dumb and blind how are they going to catch us?

  Kerr Avon : I'm sure Blake will manage it somehow.

• Vila : So much for federation pursuit ships.

  Gan : At least we know we can outrun them.

  Vila : Outrun them? In this we can out stroll them.

  Blake : Don't get too relaxed about it. They'll keep on coming.

  Vila : We have the whole universe to hide in.

  Blake : Except that we're not going to hide. Very soon now the Federation ships will know exactly where we are. Or at least, where we've been.

  Vila : [somewhat confused]  I don't follow you.

  Avon : Oh, but you do. And that's the problem!

• [as Blake is trying to convince Cally he's not Federation, she hears a noise nearby and spins around with her gun leveled] 

  Cally : Out!

  [Vila emerges and comes down towards them, hands raised] 

  Vila : No need for belligerence, pretty lady. I'm harmless! Quick, isn't she?

  Cally : Is he one of your crew?

  Blake : One of them.

  Avon : [out of sight]  And he's useless as he said.

  [Avon appears from behind cover and walks towards the others] 

  Avon : I've had a gun on you the whole time. You were dead as soon as you broke cover.

  Vila : "Harmless" was the word I used.

  Avon : You couldn't even get that right.

• Jenna Stannis : Together we can fly this ship manually.

  Olag Gan : I think we make a good team.

  Kerr Avon : Well, hooray for us.

• Avon : Glad to be of help.

  Jenna : You don't sound too sure about that.
