That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth.
Our Mrs. Reynolds
[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)
Jaynestown
[Kaylee has expressed her belief that Simon doesn't swear]
I swear... when it's appropriate.
Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.
[Companion Inara leaves for an appointment.]
Bye now. Have good sex.
[Simon looks aghast at Kaylee.]
What?
[Jayne is in the infirmary, which is in total disarray, taping a gun to his midriff]
What... happened in here?
Needed to find some tape.
So you had to tear my infirmary apart?
[Looks around himself] Apparently.
My God. You're like a trained ape... without the training!
Jayne, I told you we were settin' down on the Canton factory settlement on Higgins' Moon?
Yep, that ya did.
Canton don't allow guns in their town.
Yes sir, s'why I ain't strappin' one to my hip.
No, that's why you ain't strappin' one anywhere.
Oh, listen Mal, I was in Canton a few years back. Might've made me a few enemies thereabouts.
[sarcastically] Enemies? You? No, how can it be?
Canton really... stinks.
That's what makes it such a good drop point. No one comes through here that doesn't have to.
I vote we do this job really really fast.
The management here don't take too kindly to sightseers, [which is] why we're posin' as buyers. There ain't-a one of us looks the part more than the good doctor. I mean, the pretty fits, soft hands, definitely a moneyed individual. All rich and lily-white, pasty all over—
All right! Fine, I'll go. Just... stop describing me.
You're the boss, boss.
He's the boss now? [sarcastically] This day just keeps gettin' better and better.
FForeman
We've over 2,000 workers, mostly indentured. We pay them next to nothing. That way, we can pass the savings directly on to you, the customer.
. . .
[Simon struggles to keep up with the foreman.]
Yes. I... I-I've heard great, uh... um, uh... things about mud...
[Wash turns to Kaylee.]
What happened to Simon? Who is this diabolical master of disguise?
[Jayne, dressed in a bulky hooded coat and goggles, keeps his head down as they walk past the workers.]
You haven't been here in years, Jayne. You really think you need that getup? No one's gonna remember you.
I think it's possible they might.
[They all look up to see an elevated, life-sized mud statue of Jayne.]
Son of a bitch!
. . .
You wanna tell me how come there's a statue here, lookin' at me like I owe him something?
Wishin' I could, cap'n.
No, seriously, Jayne, you want to tell me...?
Look, Mal, I got no ruttin' idea! I was here a few years back, like I said. Pulled a second-story, stole a lotta scratch from the magistrate up on the hill. But things went way south. I had to hightail it. They don't... put you on a pedestal in town square for that.
Yeah, 'cept I'm looking at some fair compellin' evidence says they do.
[Simon is just staring at the statue]
This must be what going mad feels like.
I think they captured him, though. Captured his essence.
He looks sorta angry, don't he?
That's kinda what I meant.
