NARVIN: Knowing how the technology was acquired and the cost to those poor people, would you really want to use it?

ROMANA: You’ve changed. Once you’d have considered slaves beneath contempt.

NARVIN: Travel. Broadens the mind.

NARVIN: Well Romana, I hate to say I told you so-

ROMANA: Please feel free not to in that case.

MARIS: I’m not happy about all this. I’m not cut out to be a spy.

NARVIN: Look we’ve been through all this. You’re not spying. You’re just keeping an eye on her for me.

MARIS: That’s a nice distinction you’re making. And I’m not sure it’s one she’ll understand.

NARVIN : Look all I want to know is that she’s safe and well. Not spying, keeping watch.

LEELA: I have seen this before, among the slaves of many worlds. When life has been very cruel, people will make themselves believe in any story. They tell themselves a tale about a better life, a life to come. That is what has happened here, I think. When people have lived lives of suffering, of pain, of course they will tell themselves that a better life is within their grasp. They need something to live for.
