No, the words have to be different, at least a bit. The more definite characters - Blake, Avon, Vila and Servalan - do IMO use the language in their own way.

Yeah. I was writing some dialog recently and had a line which, intially, I had spoken by Tarrant. But, for some reason, I decided to give it to Vila instead. And I had to re-write it. Both of them were saying the exact same thing, but the wording had to be slightly different for Vila than for Tarrant. It *had* to be. Wouldn't have sounded right to my mind's ear, otherwise.
