Blakes Seven quotes.

[Kostmayer]

Avon I never doubted that. I never doubted your fanaticism. As far as I am concerned you can destroy whatever you like. You can stir up a thousand revolutions, you can wade in blood up to your armpits. Oh, and you can lead the rabble to victory, whatever that might mean. Just so long as there is an end to it. When Star One is gone it is finished, Blake. And I want it finished. I want it over and done with. I want to be free.

Cally But you are free now, Avon

Avon (looking at Blake) I want to be free - of him.


Show was undeniably tacky at times but it did have some great dialogue. And Paul Darrow was most effective as Avon when he didn't try to act too much He was brilliant in the above scene.

Love this one from Orbit:
I think it shows the pratical but evil side of Orac!
AVON: What's the position now, Orac?
ORAC: Remaining flight time: five minutes and forty seconds.
AVON: How much more weight must we lose before we can achieve escape velocity?
ORAC: Seventy kilos, Avon.
AVON: Only seventy kilos... Vila, strip off the insulation material in the cargo hold. [Vila turns.] Vila! [Avon takes some small object from a panel and hands it to him.]
VILA: But that's plastic. It weighs nothing.
AVON: Get rid of it anyway.
VILA: A kilo and a half if we're lucky.
AVON: Do it! We've got five minutes. [Vila turns and heads out.] Not enough! Not nearly enough! Dammit, what weighs seventy kilos?
[The door can be heard opening.] ORAC: Vila weighs seventy-three kilos, Avon.

Avon always seemed to get the best lines, and my favorite is from 'Horizon'. love this statement when everyone is gung ho on going down to the planet, despite obvious danger, he refuses saying:

"I'm not stupid, I'm not expendable, I'm not going."

Not a memorable quote but revealing on what work they did on Federation Earth. I didn't even notice it until my third viewing.

Avon: Before I decided to put my talents to more profitable use, ...
Jenna: And got arrested.
Avon: I handled the computer analysis for a research project into matter transmission. It was based on a new alloy.
Blake: Aquitar.
Avon: That's right.
Blake: Yes I worked on that project too.
Avon: Small world.
Blake: Large project.
