Achilles Heel: Everything to Lose (1978)

Hilary Minster: Yagon

Quotes 

• Yagon : Look how helpless they are without their special powers, all weak and trembling with fear.

  Cantor : The barlamin didn't knock her out, though.

  Yagon : Mm, it often doesn't, just reduces them almost to jelly when they feel their special powers drain away from them.

• Glip : The Feds'll be swarming all over here as soon as those three are missed.

  Yagon : Which is why, Glip, we mean to blow up the ship

  Glip : Blow up the ship?

  Yagon : Mm. Well, you agree that the most practical way to distribute the barlamin around the universe is with a photonic explosion of some magnitude.

  Glip : Well, yes.

  Yagon : And the engine of the ship can easily be turned into a powerful photonic bomb.

  Glip : I won't agree to it!

  Cantor : [brandishing a gun]  I think I can persuade you.

  Yagon : Whether you agree or not is of very little consequence.

• Yagon : The main drive reactor's been altered to fold back in on itself. It'll run critical and explode five minutes after it's activated. When it blows, the barlamin will blast almost instantly to every part of the galaxy, and that, my super being chums, will be the end of your special powers forever.

  Cantor : Oh, not that you'll miss them, 'cause you'll be blasted to every corner of the galaxy as well.

• Yagon : Why, if it isn't the boy from the little hotel where we left the time bomb.

  Andrew Forbes : What bomb. Where is it?

  Yagon : Put down those nasty stun guns and I'll tell you all about it. Come on. Give 'em to me.

  [Andrew and Hsui Tai reluctantly hand over their stun guns] 

  Yagon : Ha-ha, you Feds are gullible. THERE'S NO BOMB!
