replies"You wouldn't understand it if we did." Avon then turns his back on Vila. This doesn't go down to well, prompting Vila to respond, "My classification might be Grade 4 ignorant, but I'm not stupid. I bought that classification from a friend at the testing centre." Avon looks on impassively, and Cally in the background rolls her eyes. Vila continues, "I didn't want to be a Space Captain now did I? They all ended up getting killed didn't they?"
Cally responds with, "Tarrant survived." "Oh yes," says Vila, "
OK, I interpret this differently - firstly he says I wouldn't want to be a captain, not that he could pass the test. All he says is he bought the 'Grade 4 ignorant', all that means is that he's higher. I think he doesnt mean that he could be a Captain, but with the joking, he feels defensive and so complains about Tarrant. Also he never says he knew they'd get killed, I thought what this meant was kind of his way of saying that the Space Captains got killed so in hindsight who would want to be one. I think his phrasing is just a little off, possibly because he is nervous, and that hes saying he made the right choice never wanting to be one.
Just my opinion, oh and I'm a little out of date, still on April. Comes of having a week or two off just as the lyst gets busy again.
