[Flashback to Mal's years-earlier encounter with three bandits, one of whom is Jayne.]
Reason? He's gonna talk to us about reason now.
Yeah, that's a joke.
Which one you figure tracked us?
The ugly one, sir.
[nods, pauses] Could you be more specific?
Do we look reasonable to you?
Well, looks can be deceiving.
Not as deceiving as a low-down... dirty... deceiver.
[Marco laughs]
Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?
Had a kind o' poetry to it, sir.
. . .
[Figuring out it was Jayne who tracked them, Mal offers him a better cut of the goods]
Look, forget anything I said. I'm sure you're treated very well. You get the perks, got your own room.
[Jayne looks dejected]
No? You share a bunk?
[indicates third bandit] With that one.
[smirks] Really.
Jayne, this ain't funny!
Huh, yeah, I ain't laughing.
You move on over to this side, we'll not only show you where the stuff's at, we'll see to [it] you get your fair share. Not no sad seven [percent].
[interest piqued] Private room?
Jayne!
Your own room. Full run of the kitchen. Whole shot.
Jayne, I ain't asking-
[shoots Marco in the leg] Shut up. [aims at the other bandit without looking] How big a room?
