- Roj Blake: We chose the wrong approach, that's all.
- Olag Gan: Is that all? I thought maybe we'd chosen the wrong people to get involved with.
- Kerr Avon: "*We* chose the wrong approach"?
- Roj Blake: *I* chose the wrong approach. Does it matter?
- Kerr Avon: Yes, it does.
- Roj Blake: All right, Avon. You were right and I was wrong. You said persuasion wouldn't work and it didn't. So now we use force.
- Kerr Avon: Force? Yes, of course. Law makers, law breakers, let us fight them all. Why not?
- Cally: [using communications] Vila, this is Cally. Come in please. Vila!
- Vila Restal: [V.O., dreamily] What do you want, Cally?
- Cally: I want you back here. Get ready to teleport.
- Vila Restal: Wasting your time, Cally. I'm not wearing the bracelet. I'm not going to be snatched away in the middle of... in the middle of anything. Sightseeing. And you should see some of the sights I'm seeing. No. Perhaps you shouldn't.
- Cally: [firmly] Where is Orac?
- Vila Restal: Promised not to tell. I never break a promise.
- Cally: Oh yes, you do!
- Vila Restal: Almost never. Orac's all right. He can't run away.
- Cally: Oh, you fool, Vila!
- Vila Restal: Stop worrying, Cally. I'll be back soon. Tell you what, I'll bring you back a present. What would you like, Cally? Name it and it's yours.
- Cally: A necklace, Vila, made from your teeth!
- Olag Gan: I don't know how they spotted me.
- Bek: [to Hanna] "I don't know how they spotted me."
- Hanna: [giggles]
- Kerr Avon: [crouches, to Hanna] Something amuses you?
- Bek: [to Avon] You were using him as a lookout? I mean, he'd really blend into the background, wouldn't he? What did you do, put up a sign?
- Kerr Avon: When the Federation introduced the death penalty for possession, the President described Shadow as "the greatest single threat to the welfare of mankind."
- Roj Blake: Don't tell me you agree with Gan.
- Kerr Avon: No, no, no. I'm just... interested. It seems to me that we have identified the source of that threat rather easily.
- Roj Blake: So why haven't they?
- Kerr Avon: Exactly.
- Roj Blake: Maybe we're about to find out.
- Kerr Avon: Maybe we already know.
- [regarding the heat of the planet to which they've teleported]
- Jenna Stannis: It's enough to fry your eyeballs.
- Kerr Avon: Daintily put.
- Jenna Stannis: Must be the company I keep.
- Vila Restal: Where are all the good guys?
- Roj Blake: You could be looking at them.
- Kerr Avon: What a very depressing thought.
- Roj Blake: Any luck?
- Olag Gan: Can't find Orac. Even tried calling his name.
- Kerr Avon: Oh, I'm sorry I missed that. It's the kind of natural stupidity no amount of training could ever hope to match.
- Roj Blake: You found Orac?
- Kerr Avon: No, but then I never really expected to. It is one of Vila's more elaborate practical jokes.
- Jenna Stannis: I think we've outstayed our welcome.
- Roj Blake: [into bracelet] All right, Cally. We're ready to come across.
- [Gan and Avon join Blake and Jenna in a cluster for teleportation. Avon still holds a gun on Bek and Hanna]
- Bek: We'll come with you.
- Roj Blake: [pause] I'm sorry.
- Bek: "Sorry"? Polite but inadequate.
- Bek: [raises his gun] We can't stay here, so you're not going to leave without us.
- [Bek and Hanna are stunned as Blake, Avon, Jenna, and Gan are teleported away]
- Hanna: I think they went without us.
- Bek: There's gratitude for you.
- Hanna: "Gratitude"! You point a gun at them and expect gratitude?
- Hanna: [indicates Largo on the floor] Maybe we could use him as a hostage?
- Bek: Him? After his foul-up you won't get a drink of water in exchange for him.
- [Bek aims gun at Largo]
- Roj Blake: [rematerializes with two extra bracelets] I changed my mind.
- Bek: Why?
- Hanna: Do we care?
- Roj Blake: [hands them the bracelets] Put these on.
- Bek: What's in it for you?
- Roj Blake: You can help me with one of my crew. His name's Vila and he's suffering from a bad attack of alcoholic remorse.
- Roj Blake: [into bracelet] All right, Cally.
- Roj Blake: [to Bek and Hanna] He wants to make a necklace of his teeth.
- [they are teleported away]
- Orac: [Possessed by the Darkness] The bridge is complete.
- Vila Restal: What? What did he say?
- Olag Gan: [Looking at the controls] Something's wrong.
- Vila Restal: No, that wasn't it.
