Quotes 

• Tarrant : You going to tell us what we've got planned, Avon?

  Vila : We know what we've got planned. Running away is what we've got planned.

  Dayna : A strategic withdrawal is what we've got planned.

  Vila : There's a difference?

  Tarrant : Oh, yes. A strategic withdrawal is running away - but with dignity.

  Vila : So lay in a course and let's get the dignified hell out of here.

• Soolin : [about Zukan]  You needed a figurehead. He was it. Or am I wrong?

  Avon : You are right. But then figureheads aren't too difficult to come by. Any idiot can be one.

  Dayna : [laughs]  On your feet, Vila. This could be your big moment.

  Avon : Any idiot within reason, that is.

• Dayna : [about Blake]  But Servalan told us he was dead.

  Avon : And you believed her?

  Dayna : Well, she had no reason to lie.

  Avon : She doesn't need one. It comes quite naturally to her, like breathing.

• Vila : [about the cabin they found]  The state the roof's in, it's the same as spending a night in the open.

  Dayna : Well, if you'd prefer the trees, feel free to go. Don't let us stop you.

  Vila : I'd prefer a city, but I'd accept a town. In fact, I'd settle for some indication that we weren't the only people left alive in this miserable tree sanctuary.

  Dayna : Look, why don't you go and collect some firewood, hm?

  Vila : Because it's dark out there.

  Soolin : Surely you're not afraid of the dark.

  Vila : Only when it's unilluminated.
