Blake's 7, Series Four

Vila:
What's the matter with you?

Avon:
I was thinking about Pinder, and the way he said "pleased to make your acquaintance, ma'am".

Vila:
Is that worrying you? Listen, if it'll set your mind at rest, I never thought you were a woman.

Avon:
He said it as though it were a phrase he had been taught.

Vila:
Maybe Egrorian gives him lessons in etiquette as well as judo.

Avon:
Or maybe he has been taught that that was the way of addressing a stranger. Servalan, for instance.

Vila:
Servalan? She wouldn't do any deals with Egrorian. He's like us, outside the Federation.

Avon:
We know how much she would like to get her hands on Orac.

Vila:
Not enough to hand us a weapon like the tachyon funnel.

Avon:
No. That's why this time, Vila, I think we have to play this one very cagily.
