Jayne : [to Simon] Little Kaylee here just wishes you was a gynecologist.
[Jayne laughs]
Mal : Jayne, you will keep a civil tongue in that mouth, or I will sew it shut. Is there an understanding between us?
Jayne : You don't pay me to talk pretty. Just because Kaylee gets lubed up over some big-city dandy doesn't mean...
Mal : Walk away from this table. Right now.
[Jayne loads his plate with food and leaves]
Simon : What *do* you pay him for?
Mal : What?
Simon : I was just wondering what his job is - on the ship.
Mal : Public relations.
-
Kaylee : We're taking on passengers at Persephone?
Mal : Yeah, that's the notion. Could use a little respectability on the way to Boros. Not to mention the money.
Jayne : Pain in the ass.
Kaylee : No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people, they've all got stories...
Jayne : Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please?
Mal : I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from bein' cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct-tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
Kaylee : [kisses Mal's cheek] I love my captain.

Lawrence Dobson : You have any idea how much trouble you're in?
Jayne : Gee, I never been in trouble with the Law before.
Lawrence Dobson : No, not like this you haven't. You think this is just a smuggling rap? The package that boy is carrying...
Jayne : It's a girl. She's cute, too. Except I don't think she's all there, you know? 'Course, not all of her has to be.
Lawrence Dobson : That girl is a precious commodity. They'll come after her. Long after you bury me they'll be coming.
Jayne : Oh,
[smiling]
Jayne : I'm not gonna
[slaps Dobson's thigh with the knife]
Jayne : kill you, Dobson. What's your first name?
Lawrence Dobson : [unsettled; sighs] Lawrence.
Jayne : Lawrence... Ah. I'm just gonna cut on ya till you tell me how much they know.
Lawrence Dobson : [rapid fire] They know everything. Every name, every record - they know how many... nose hairs you've got.
Jayne : [studies his face for a second] Aw, see?
[gets up; disappointed]
Jayne : They don't know a damn thing. It's all over your face. I ain't even... I was gonna get me a ear, too. Aren't you an officer of the law? Well don't they teach you how to withstand interrogation? Can't even tell a damn lie.
Lawrence Dobson : Okay. I can see you're not an idiot.
Jayne : Wish I could say the same, Lawrence, but this is disappointing as hell.
Lawrence Dobson : Let me speak a language you will understand - money. This girl is worth a lot of money. I mean a lot. You kill me, there's nothing. But you help me out... you'll have enough to buy your own ship. A better one than this piece of crap.
Jayne : [quietly] Does helping you out mean turning on the Captain?
Lawrence Dobson : Yes, it does.

Jayne Cobb : Ten percent of nothing is, let me do the math here, nothing into nothing, carry the nothin'...
Mal : Mal: Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.
-
Simon : What business is that exactly?
[pause; Mal turns but doesn't answer]
Simon : I'm a dead man; I can't know? Is it gold?... Drugs? Pirate treasure? What is that makes you so afraid of the Alliance?
Mal : You don't want to go down this road with me, boy.
Simon : Oh, you're not afraid of them? I already know you'd sell me out to them for a pat on the head. Hell, you should probably be working for them. You certainly fit the profil...
[cut off as Mal punches him, knocks him into the wall and floor; Mal stands over him]
Jayne : [sounds cocky] Saw that comin'.
-
Simon : So, does it happen a lot? Government commandeering your ship, telling you where to go?
Mal : That's what governments are for - get in a man's way.
Lawrence Dobson : Well, it's good, if the supplies are needed.
Jayne : We're just happy to be doin' good works.

Kaylee : Jayne, open the port jack control,
[nods towards it]
Kaylee : cut the hydraulics.
Jayne : [looks around] Where the hell is it?
Kaylee : [points] Look! Look! Look where I'm pointing!
Kaylee : [Jayne follows her finger to the box] Okay. Now it's real simple.
[Jayne opens the box, revealing a mesh of complex wiring; looking dubious]

Jayne : I don't understand why we didn't leave that son of a bitch in a pool of his own blood.
Mal : We'd be dead. Can't get paid if your dead.
Jayne : Can't get paid if you crawl away like a bitty little bug neither. I got a share of this job. 10 percent of nothing is... let me do the math here... nothing, and a nothing...
