Quotes[]

Dayna Mellanby: It's going badly.
Vila Restal: Hardly surprising. Avon's idea of diplomacy is like breaking someone's leg then saying Lean on me.

....

Vila Restal: When your father finds out he'll probably incinerate us all, do you realize that?
Orac: Someone would seem to have anticipated him.
Del Tarrant: Orac?
Orac: Scans indicate a foreign object in the teleport bay. My calculations suggest that it is an explosive device.
Dayna Mellanby: A bomb?
Orac: Precisely.
