Blake's 7, Series Three

Hal Mellanby:
You're not alone in losing your ship. The losses on both sides have been tremendous. I've been monitoring the status transmissions.

Kerr Avon:
Did we win?

Hal:
Sounds very confused, but there's not much doubt. The aliens were virtually wiped out.

Avon:
Well the price was high enough. But at least we got what we paid for.

Hal:
You almost didn't. It was a close run thing; what's left of the federation fleet, which isn't much, is scattered halfway across the galaxy. I'd say the Federation is in a lot of trouble.

Avon:
Yes, it's difficult to sustain a military dictatorship when you've lost most of the military. [Hal laughs] I only hope Blake survived long enough to know that he was winning.... Both wars.

Hal:
Blake? You were with Blake?

Avon:
Yes. Though it hardly seems to matter now, if it ever did.

Hal:
If it mattered? Blake and the Liberator. I've been hearing reports over the last couple of years. You were magnificent!

Avon:
Not from where I was sitting.
