Blakes 71978

Avon:
[about the Rebellion's new figurehead] He is strongly identified with rebels, you see, and very popular with rabbles. They will follow him, and he will fight to the last drop of *their* blood. Idealism is a wonderful thing. All you really need is someone rational to put it to proper use.

Avon:
Someone like you.

Tarrant:
So where do we find this useable idealist?

Avon:
According to Orac, he is on a frontier planet called Gauda Prime.

Soolin:
Gauda Prime?

Avon:
You know it?

Soolin:
Yes, I know it. It's a bad place to be. No self-respecting idealist would be found dead there.

Avon:
I imagine that is what HE is trying to avoid: being found dead anywhere.

Tarrant:
Look, are you going to stop playing games and tell us who it is, Avon?

[Vila realizes who Avon is talking about]

Vila:
It's Blake, isn't it? You think you've found Blake.

[Avon smiles]
