Laynara: I hate bad breath.
(another time, the team is waiting for a saboteur to deactivate a force field protecting the communications center they're trying to break into...)
Baco: Wow ... I never thought there'd be so much sitting around on a suicide mission.
Wyl: If you'd like to volunteer to test that energy barrier, then by all means. It could be a fake, you know.

Berta: You'd have to pay me not to.
Avon: Shut up, Tarrant.
Tarrant: What did you say?
Avon: I said shut up, I apologise for not realising you are deaf.

Avon: Well that's a pity, since your own ideas are so very limited.
Tarrant: Don't try and bluff your way with me Avon. I know what's been needling you all along. With Blake gone you thought you'd got it made, didn't you. You thought you'd got control of this ship and a crew of five who'd say "Yes Avon, whatever you want Avon." But you reckoned without me!
Avon: That wouldn't be too difficult.—Blake's 7
