[as Liberator steers to engage the alien fleet, a wounded Blake appears on the flight deck]
Avon : Why didn't you stay in the medical unit? Couldn't you bring yourself to trust me just this once?
Blake : I thought I might be able to help.
Avon : In that condition?
Blake : All right I'll go back.
Avon : Can you manage, alone?
Blake : Yes. Avon, for what it is worth, I have always trusted you, from the very beginning.

[Avon has caught Travis on Star One]
Avon : Well, now. Travis. Fancy meeting you here.
Travis : Put the gun down, Avon, it's too late to stop it now.
Avon : Convince me.
Travis : Be polite and I may let you live.
Avon : Be informative and I may let you die. You'll want that after I've shot off an arm and a leg or two.
Travis : I thought you were supposed to be the one with brains.
Avon : Brains but no heart. Now talk or scream, Travis, the choice is yours.

Blake : I meant what I said on Goth, Avon. We are not going to use Star One to rule the Federation, we are going to destroy it.
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 : [glaring at Blake] I want to be free of *him*.
Blake : I never realized. You really do hate me, don't you?
-
Vila : [packing up explosive charges] I don't like explosives, very crude. Difficult to reason with a bomb.
Cally : Blake?
[Vila, startled by Cally's voice, almost drops the explosive]
Avon : [taking device from Vila] They won't explode until they are primed.
Vila : And if it was faulty? Bit late to complain to the manufacturer!
-
Avon : Blake is an idealist, Jenna. He cannot afford to think.
-
Avon : I have been doing some calculations, if this is Star One...
Blake : *If* it is?
Avon : First catch your computer, but all right it probably is, and that being the case the choice of location is fascinating.
Blake : I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Avon : The nearest large galaxy to our own is Andromeda.
Blake : So?
Avon : So, this is the nearest point to Andromeda. If anyone could cross intergalactic space in less than a lifetime we are now precisely upon the route that they would take.
Blake : What are you trying to say, Avon?
Avon : I directed the detectors toward the Andromeda galaxy. There are thousands of satellite generators out there, *beyond* Star One.
Blake : [shocked] What?
Avon : Even with the Federation's resources it must have taken them years.
Blake : [checking the readout] That must be the biggest antimatter minefield ever put together!
Vila : Minefield, what minefield?
Avon : Perhaps the intergalactic drive has been developed. The question is, by whom?
Blake : A defense zone to keep mankind in, or something else out.
