Blake's 7 (TV Series)

Time Squad (1978)

Michael Keating: Vila Restal

Quotes 

• Cally : [about Vila]  He fears death?

  Vila : I plan to live forever - or die trying.

• 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.

• Jenna Stannis : We've lost them.

  Vila Restal : So much for federation pursuit ships.

  Olag Gan : At least we know we can outrun them.

  Vila Restal : Outrun them? In this we can out stroll them!

• Roj Blake : Some species even have an intelligence rating.

  Vila Restal : That's a comfort. I should hate to be eaten by something stupid!

• 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!

• Jenna : Getting nervous?

  Vila : No, I've been nervous all along.

• [looking around Saurian Major] 

  Blake : You have to be careful of the plant life around here. Some of it's carnivorous. Some species even have an intelligence rating.

  Vila : That's a comfort. I should hate to be eaten by something stupid.

• [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.

• [after Cally explains how the rest of the resistance on Saurian Major were killed] 

  Blake : You've been working alone ever since.

  Cally : My work was in communications, but there will be companions for my death. I plan to raid the complex. To destroy until I am destroyed.

  Blake : Well, our aim's the same, but I wasn't planning a suicide mission.

  Vila : I should hope not!
