John Bryans: Shrinker

Quotes 

• [the Federation's top torturer is now Avon's prisoner on the Liberator] 

  Shrinker : Why? I don't even... I never saw him before. What have I ever done to him?

  Dayna : You killed someone he loved.

  Vila : And there aren't many of them about. Avon's not a very lovable man, in case you hadn't noticed.

• [Avon is in a Federation prison cell with an interrogator] 

  Avon : Your name wouldn't be Shrinker, by any chance, would it?

  Shrinker : You've heard of me?

  Avon : Ah. I knew if I held out, you would show up eventually.

  Shrinker : That says more for your nerve than your brain.

  Avon : [signalling the Liberator]  You think so?

• Shrinker : Why should I trust you?

  Avon : Because I've got the gun!
