[Vila stumbles in carrying a wine carafe]
Vila Restal : [drunkenly] Hello there! Anyone for a party? I'm afraid you'll have to bring your own booze 'cause I've already drunk my own. Anyone got any booze? Huh? And how about my... cold, calculating Soolin? I'd like to see you unbend...
[Soolin moves to a another station]
Vila Restal : ...just a little before we're all... all...
Dayna Mellanby : Sometimes, Vila, you can be quite disgusting.
Vila Restal : Not so, my lovely. I can be disgusting all the time. It's easy. Easy as colliding with an asteroid, eh, Avon? You know, they say all your life passes in front of you when you're about to, about to... y'know. It's what's happening to me now. All my past life.
Avon : That's one misfortune we don't have to share.
Vila Restal : Fourteen I was when I was first sent to a penal colony. Ship was hit in the main drive by a meteoroid. Bang! Y'know what they did to repair it? Activated the force wall and generated an atmosphere inside the force wall so the repair team could work in a vacuum without spacesuits, 'cause it wasn't a vacuum any more if you see what I mean. Very clever, those old prison hulk skippers.

Vila Restal : [drunkenly] Hurray!
Soolin : Out of the mouths of drunks.
Vila Restal : [sober] Drunk? Who's drunk?
Dayna Mellanby : You are.
Vila Restal : [indicating wine carafe] Show me how to get drunk on plain water and I won't waste time.
Dayna Mellanby : Well, then why pretend?
Vila Restal : Because, my lovely Dayna, and Soolin, no one ever tells someone who's drunk to volunteer.
Soolin , Dayna Mellanby : [laugh]
Vila Restal : I don't like to work in main drive chambers! Especially main drive chambers that are separated from space by one of Slave's force walls.

Avon : Who?
