[Back in the present day, with Serenity fixed, Mal finds himself dazed in the company of his crew and passengers.]
Welcome back, sir.
I go someplace?
Very nearly.
We thought we lost you.
No, I've been right here.
Wash, you okay?
[a little buzzed from giving blood] Yeah, Mal, I'm fine.
You got a thing in your arm.
[smiling] Yeah.
Try not to speak. You're heavily medicated and you lost a lot of blood.
[Mal groans]
. . .
All right, I have to insist the Captain needs to rest.
Yeah. Think the doc might not be wrong about that one. Just gonna need a few.... [trails off as he closes his eyes]
[Mal then jerks himself awake.]
Y'all gonna be here when I wake up?
We'll be here.
Good. That's good.
[As Mal falls asleep, he experiences another flashback to a used spaceship yard.]
Yep. Real beauty, ain't she? Yes, sir. Right smart purchase, this vessel.
[The rocket-shaped vessel that the salesman is trying to sell Mal comes into view.]
I tell you what. You buy this ship, treat her proper - she'll be with you for the rest of your life.
[But Mal has his attention caught by something else.]
Son? Hey, son!
[As we follow Mal's point of view, we see a battered old Firefly, soon to become "Serenity", sitting on the other side of the lot.]
You hear a word I been sayin'?
