[While Zoe and Wash are getting ready to assault Niska's Skyplex]
Grenades?
Oh, yes. Thank you, dear. [Turning to Jayne] They won't be expecting it.
Right. 'Cause they ain't insane.

[Book pulls out a rifle.]
This should do.
Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killin'?
Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
. . .
[Everyone looks up at Jayne, who is suddenly on the balcony, fully armed.]
What?
Let's go get the cap'n.
[cuts to image of Niska and henchman looking at Mal]
HHenchman
Yep, he's dead.
Zoe; Okay, people. If it moves, shoot it.
Unless it's the captain!
Unless it's the captain.
[Mal, while fighting the torturer who once revived him when his body gave out.]
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?
[Zoe, Wash, and Jayne come across Mal's struggle with his tormentor. Jayne raises his pistol, but Zoe stops him.]
Jayne. This somethin' the Captain has to do for himself.
No! No, it's not!
[surprised] Oh.
[They open fire, killing the torturer.]
So— I hear you all took up arms in that little piece of action back there. How you farin' with that, Doctor?
I don't know. I, uh, I never— never shot anyone before.
I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone… yet.
[Mal has explained Wash's desire to have the captain and Zoe sleep together to resolve "burning sexual tension".]
I know it's a... [puts Zoe's hands on his hip and shoulder] difficult mission, but you and I... [places his hands likewise on her] have to get it on.
I understand. We have no choice. [deadpan] Take me, sir. Take me hard.
[walking in] Well, somethin' about that is just downright unsettlin'.
(They lean in awkwardly to kiss, Wash grabs Zoe and pulls her away.)
We'll be in our bunk. (slaps Zoe's butt as they leave)
[sniffing] Oh, hey— [smacks Mal in the chest where he was tortured] free soup.
[Mal groans in pain.]
