[Jayne's attacker, a malnourished settler, has been apprehended]
Oh yes, he's a real beast. [looks at Jayne] It's a wonder you're still alive.
Looked bigger when I couldn't see him.
“Bushwhacked”
In this episode: Mal Reynolds (4), Jayne Cobb (4), Wash (3), Zoe (2), Simon Tam (1), Kaylee Frye (1)
Reavers ain't men—or they forgot how to be.
[Commander Harken questions the crew.]
HHarken
You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?
Fought with a lot of people in the war.
HHarken
And your husband?
Fight with him sometimes, too.
HHarken
Is there any particular reason you don't wish to discuss your marriage?
Don't see that it's any of your business, is all. We're very private people.
[Cut to Zoe's husband Wash.]
The legs! [laughs] Oh yeah, definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs, and right where her legs... meet her back. Tha— actually, that whole area. That, and... and above it. [...] Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?
That poor bastard you took off my ship. He looked right into the face of it—was made to stare.
HHarken
"It"?
That darkness. Kind of darkness you can't even imagine. Blacker than the space it moves through.
HHarken
Very poetic.
They made him watch. He probably tried to turn away, and they wouldn't let him. You call him a survivor? He's not. A man comes up against that kind of will, the only way to deal with it, I suspect, is to become it.
You save his gorram life, he still takes the cargo. Hwoon dahn.
He had to. Couldn't let us profit. Wouldn't be civilized.
(The crew is playing a game similar to basket ball when an alarm goes off)
Proximity alert. We must be comin' up on something.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing?! (pause) Oh, right, that would be me. Back to work. (hands ball to Mal and leaves)
So I guess it makes us one man short.
Yeah, little Kaylee's always one man short. (Kaylee punches him) Ow! Hey!
(the crew is in the cockpit, speculating on an apparently abandoned passenger ship after they ran down a body ejected from said craft)
Tell you what I think. I figure that fellow we run into did everyone on board. Killed 'em all. Then he decided to take a swim, see how fast his blood would boil out his ears.
You're a very up person.
...
We'll check it out, see if there are any survivors. And if not, well, then, no one's gonna mind if we take a look around, see if there's not something of value they might've left behind.
Yeah, no, uh, someone could be hurt!
