One Last Chance
ALIEN: Don't try to play games with me.
AVON: Nothing was further from my mind. You've given us your terms, now I will give you ours: no deal.
ALIEN: [Her robes start blowing as if a breeze had sprung up] I thought you were the clever one. You're a fool, like Tarrant. The pain Tarrant is experiencing ... visualize that pain and much more. [Shot of Cally tossing her head back and forth.] You're as close to death as you have ever been. Think about human death, Avon. Irrevocable.
AVON: I have thought about it. What's keeping you?
ALIEN: What did you say?
AVON: You claim you can kill me. You better get on with it. Make me die. There's nothing else you can make me do. [Steps right up to her.]
ALIEN: [Electrical bolts flash from her face, exploding the control stations. Shot of Cally thrashing about in her bed.] One last chance. [She raises her arm threateningly.]
AVON: [looks at her upraised hand and gives a slight, contemptuous smile] Save it. [More panels explode and burn. The alien screams in anger and frustration. Cally's voice shouts "NO". Shot of Cally sitting up in her bed.] It seems you made another mistake. Cally has loyalties after all. But you knew that right from the beginning, didn't you? [He reaches up and grasps her wrist, then pulls her arm behind her back, embracing her. The alien sound effect stops.] You look so beautiful when you're angry. [He kisses her. While she is distracted he slips the ring from her finger, then brings it around and holds it in front of her face.] Thank you.
ALIEN: Give it to me.
AVON: That would be a little foolish, when I just went to so much trouble to get it.
ALIEN: You don't understand.
AVON: Don't I? Psychic abilities boosted by high technology? This ring is the real source of your power, isn't it? This is how you formed your link with Cally and you cannot hold her or feed off this ship without it.
ALIEN: Avon! Avon, give it back to me. You must. You don't know. I HAVE to keep this body. I have to live. I've waited so long. Centuries. More time than you could comprehend. How can you imagine what it must be like to be dead, to exist in nothingness, in nowhere. Blind, deaf, dumb, and yet to be sentient, aware, waiting. Centuries of waiting. I have to find my world again, my people, my home. I want to breathe and see and feel. And know. Don't send me back into the dark, Avon, let me live. [Vision of Avon as the figure in black, with the smoking bowl. He turns the bowl over and spills white grains out onto the ground. Avon throws the ring into one of the burning consoles where it explodes.]
ALIEN: [Her voice gradually dies away as the alien turns back into the dried-up corpse, then vanishes]: I want to live, to live. I want to live, to live, to live. I want to live, to live, to live. I want to...... [Avon looks over at Tarrant, Dayna and Vila kneeling on the floor, then over at the door where Cally is standing with tears on her face.]

Federation Gun
This is a computer-drawn Federation gun by @MinionWho (so good that it looks real).
I have added the background.
Original without the background is here.

Who betrayed us?
MUTOID: Stay where you are. [Travis moves forwards]
TRAVIS: Which of you is Avalon? [He holds a nearby man and places his gun to the man's head.] I want Avalon -- now. [A figure moves forward. Another puts out a hand to stop her, but she continues forwards. Travis hits the man he was threatening, knocking him over.]
AVALON: Who betrayed us?
TRAVIS: [To mutoids] Take her.
MUTOID: [Indicating homing beacon] Shall I smash it?
TRAVIS: No. Give Blake his homing beacon -- make it easier for him. Finish it.
TERLOC: No, no, please wait. It's me, Terloc, I helped you. I gave you Avalon. I gave you Avalon. [The mutoid pushes him over with her foot] Ughh. Uh, ah. They're going to kill us. [Mutoids systematically shoot everyone amid lots of screams and shouts, then leave.]

Nucleoplasmic absorption
TARRANT: Yes, well. So much about us. What about you? You built all this?
ULTRA 1: Not quite.
DAYNA: Then how?
ULTRA 2: It built itself. We are merely the custodians.
ULTRA 1: You were not strictly correct in calling Ultraworld a computer. Ultraworld is much more than that. It possesses consciousness, self-awareness.
DAYNA: You mean it's alive?
ULTRA 3: By any meaningful definition of the word, yes.
TARRANT: (rises) We're wasting time.
AVON: Wait a minute. Germanium circuitry is clever stuff, but to the best of my knowledge it cannot think for itself nor can it reproduce its own structure.
ULTRA 1: You have an astute mind, Avon.
AVON: If you say so.
ULTRA 2: There is another process involved. Nucleoplasmic absorption.
TARRANT: Oh, well that's a relief. I thought it might be something complicated.

Our own planet
JENNA: You found it then?
AVON: (empties the sack on the table and jewels spill out) Do you know how much is in there? Millions. Millions. And this is just a sample. There must be almost as much wealth in that single room as there is in the entire Federation banking system. Look at it.
JENNA: You could buy a lot of freedom with this.
AVON: You could buy anything with this. Anything at all. Think of it Jenna, there isn't anything you couldn't have.
JENNA: But what about Blake?
AVON: What about him?
JENNA: No.
AVON: We could own our own planet.
BLAKE: We're not leaving him there.
AVON: We have to. He's a crusader. He'll look upon all this as just one more weapon to use against the Federation. And he can't win. You know he can't win. What do you want to be rich or dead? (picks up necklace) We might never have this opportunity again.
JENNA: An hour. We'll wait an hour. If he's not back by then we'll leave.
AVON: Why? Why wait?
JENNA: Because that way I can convince myself that we gave him a fair chance. If he's not back by then.... (walks away)
AVON: All right.

Time spent with you
SERVALAN: Oh, don't waste time, Kasabi. You have so little of it left.
KASABI: Time spent with you was always wasted, Servalan.

They've done a brilliant job!
BLAKE: I will offer no defense, but I will plead not guilty.
VARON: These are grave charges. Without extenuating circumstances, you might face deportation. A mental institution would be better than spending the rest of your life on Cygnus Alpha.
BLAKE: [With deliberation] I will offer no defense. Right?
VARON: Won't you reconsider?
BLAKE: Even if you could prove me innocent, the charges have been made. I've got to hand it to them. [At the security camera] They've done a brilliant job!!

Who are you?
CALLY: (telepaths) Who are you?
CALLY: Will you answer my question? Who are you? I ask you for the last time, who are you?
BLAKE: Do you mind if I get up. (lunges at her)
[Cally quickly goes around him and knocks him flat again.]
CALLY: (telepaths) Try that again and I'll blow your head off. Now what are you doing here?
BLAKE: My name is Blake. I'm trying to make contact with the resistance group.
CALLY: (telepaths) How did you get here?
BLAKE: We came from.... (looks quickly to the side).
[Cally also looks to the side. Blake grabs her and throws her over his head. Blake disarms her. Points the gun at her on the ground]
CALLY: May you die alone and silent.

The System has questions
[Blake is marched through hallway. A gang of slaves carrying a heavy pipe section stagger, the rear slave falls and is punished by a guard. Blake runs over to stop the guard and helps the slave up. The guard moves to hit Blake]
ALTA 2: Stop! ... March on.
[Control room. Alta 2 enters and she and Alta 1 touch the silver dots on their foreheads. The pedestal dome beeps, Alta 2 places her hands on it, and it gargles. Blake is pushed into the room and Alta 1 motions him to a chair across from hers]
ALTA 2: Acknowledged. [To Alta 1] There is disturbance on the control program.
ALTA 1: Until stable, all commands must be checked and confirmed.
ALTA 2: Acknowledged.
ALTA 1: [To Blake] The System has questions to put to you.
BLAKE: I'd like to ask one or two myself.
ALTA 1: That is not permitted.
BLAKE: For instance, what is the System?
ALTA 1: The System is the supreme power of Spaceworld and the three life-supporting planets which orbit our sun. The System is a complex of infallible machines.
BLAKE: All of this? You mean even you are computer controlled?
ALTA 1: We serve the System. Its questions and orders are routed through me, but the words and thoughts are those of the System. Is that understood?
BLAKE: I demand your assurance that the rest of my crew remain unharmed.
ALTA 1: [To guard] Force level seven. [Guard puts prod against Blake's neck]
BLAKE: All right! Understood.
ALTA 1: We will commence. [Places hand on smaller dome next to her chair and speaks in a mechanical voice] State the circumstance by which you came to be aboard Deep Space Vehicle II.
BLAKE We call it the Liberator...
