“Our Mrs. Reynolds”
In this episode: Mal Reynolds (17), Wash (8), Jayne Cobb (6), Zoe (6), Saffron (5), Inara Serra (3), Book (2), Simon Tam (1)
[Saffron, after knocking Mal and Wash out, tries to seduce Inara as well. The latter seems to be buying it.]
Come to my shuttle.
You would... lie with me?
[The alarm begins to sound.]
...I think we've lied enough.
You're good.
You're amazing. Who are you?
[sneers arrogantly] Malcolm Reynolds' widow.
[The two begin to fight.]
[Simon describes how Saffron's lip-delivered drug is well-known to doctors.]
They called it the "good-night" kiss.
So you two were kissin'?
Well, isn't that... special [Referring to the "special hell" he threatend Mal with when he would take sexual advantage of "Saffron"]?
If she can fly this thing, why just take the shuttle?
Maybe she likes shuttles.
[Everyone stares at him.]
Some people juggle geese!
That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth.
[Mal is somewhat relieved to hear Inara describe Saffron as Companion Academy-trained. He points at a disapproving Book.]
You woulda kissed her too.
Wash didn't.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!
Okay! Everybody not talking about sex, in here. Everybody else, elsewhere.
[Jayne takes aim at the Net with his favorite weapon.]
See, Vera? Dress yourself up, you get taken out somewhere fun.
(Mal has kissed Kaylee on the head)
Captain, don't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy?
Sometimes, I just can't help myself.
(Mal bursts in on Saffron, gun drawn)
Honey, I'm home.
(Saffron tries to grab the gun away, but Mal wrestles her onto the bed.)
Looks like you get that wedding night after all.
(Saffron fights back harder and they end up on the floor.)
It's the first time, darlin', I think you should be gentle with me.
You gonna kill me?
Can you conjure up a terribly compelling reason for me not to?
I didn't kill you.
You handed me and my crew over to those that would kill us. That buys you nothing.
[smiles] I made you dinner.
Why the act? All the seduction games, the dancin' around folk, there has to be an easier way to steal.
You're assuming the point is the paycheck.
I'm not assuming anything at this point.
How'd you find me?
Only a couple places that shuttle would make it to from where you left… happy to find it intact.
You're quite a man, Malcolm Reynolds. [Seductively] I've been waiting a long time for someone good enough to take me down.
Saffron, you even think about playing me again I will riddle you with holes.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.
You've got all kinds o' learnin' and you made me look the fool without even trying, yet here I am, with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.
Promise me you're gonna kill me soon.
(gets off her) Oh, you already know I ain't gonna.
(sits up) You know, you did pretty well. Most men, they're on me inside of ten minutes. Not trying to teach me to be strong and the like.
I got one question for you, just one thing I'd like to know, straight up.
Ask me.
What's your real name?
(Saffron stares at him, then opens her mouth to answer, he pistol-whips her unconscious)
You'd only lie to me anyhow.
You're a very graceful woman, Inara.
[surprised] I... thank you
So here's where I'm fuzzy. You got by that girl, came and found me, and somehow you happen to just trip and fall.
What do you mean?
Come on, Inara. How's about we don't play. You didn't just trip, did you?
(pause)
No.
[You will remember that Inara kissed Mal while he was unconscious and that was why she passed out]
Well, isn't that something.
(Mal smiles)
I knew you let her kiss you.
(Mal leaves, whistling, while Inara just stares)
