- Councilor Joban: Some members of the council are concerned that many of our citizens now know of Blake's activities, and those of the renegade Travis.
- Servalan: [surprised] But there have been no public spacecasts on either Travis or Blake.
- Councilor Joban: People talk, Servalan. There's no way of stopping them.
- Servalan: This is a major breach of security. The punishment is total. Who are these people who have been talking? I want their names, Councilor.
- Councilor Joban: All sorts of citizens from Alphas to labor grades know of Blake's defiance of the Federation. They talk of him as a sort of... hero, many of them.
- Servalan: What rubbish.
- Councilor Joban: His men impede progress, and more importantly order. *Order*, Servalan. It is all that matters.
- Servalan: I do not need you to remind me of that.
- Councilor Joban: The council ask 'where is Blake's head?' And we have no answer.
- Servalan: You shall have it.
- Councilor Joban: The answer, or his head?
- Servalan: Both.
- Vila: Avon, when are you going to repair that detector shield?
- Avon: Whenever we stumble across the parts I need.
- Cally: Maybe we should give priority to getting them.
- Vila: Yes, maybe we should.
- Blake: Looks as though the Federation have developed a shield themselves.
- Cally: Yes, well they got very, very close before we saw them.
- Avon: And that is the most depressing aspect of the whole affair. I was rather hoping to sell them the idea.
- Travis: You wanted to die, Inga. Why was that?
- Inga: You wouldn't understand.
- Travis: So that Blake would not hate your father? But he does.
- Blake: I do not hate him.
- Travis: Ushton betrayed you, you must hate him, I would in your place.
- Blake: That is the difference between us, Travis.
- [Travis raises a hand to strike Blake, who lurches back out of his reach]
- Blake: That too.
