Quotes
-
Vila : [about the cabin they found] The state the roof's in, it's the same as spending a night in the open.
Dayna : Well, if you'd prefer the trees, feel free to go. Don't let us stop you.
Vila : I'd prefer a city, but I'd accept a town. In fact, I'd settle for some indication that we weren't the only people left alive in this miserable tree sanctuary.
Dayna : Look, why don't you go and collect some firewood, hm?
Vila : Because it's dark out there.
Soolin : Surely you're not afraid of the dark.
Vila : Only when it's unilluminated.

[after a group of aircraft passed over]
Vila : So who do you think they were, Soolin?
Soolin : I've no idea, Vila. But one thing I do know: if you want to survive on this planet you have to assume that everyone is out to get you.
Vila : I always assume that wherever I go.
Soolin : The difference is, on Gauda Prime you'll be right!

Avon : [about the Rebellion's new figurehead] He is strongly identified with rebels, you see, and very popular with rabbles. They will follow him, and he will fight to the last drop of *their* blood. Idealism is a wonderful thing. All you really need is someone rational to put it to proper use.
Avon : Someone like you.
Tarrant : So where do we find this useable idealist?
Avon : According to Orac, he is on a frontier planet called Gauda Prime.
Soolin : Gauda Prime?
Avon : You know it?
Soolin : Yes, I know it. It's a bad place to be. No self-respecting idealist would be found dead there.
Avon : I imagine that is what HE is trying to avoid: being found dead anywhere.
Tarrant : Look, are you going to stop playing games and tell us who it is, Avon?
[Vila realizes who Avon is talking about]
Vila : It's Blake, isn't it? You think you've found Blake.
[Avon smiles]
