Quotes 

• River : [quietly]  I didn't think you'd come for me.

  Simon : [long pause; just as quiet]  Well, you're a dummy.

  [both smile briefly] 

• [River wakes up screaming; looks around frantically; scrambles out of the box; cringes in fear, hyperventilating as Simon breaks loose from Jayne's grasp; cautiously approaches her] 

  Simon : R-River...

  [River gasps] 

  Simon : Hey, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay... It's okay. I'm here.

  River : [calms as recognition dawns on her]  Simon.

  [silence; starts breathing erratically and sounding frightened again] 

  River : Simon they-they talk to me. They want me to - They want me to...

  Simon : No, they're gone.

  [holding her face, sounds almost as afraid] 

  Simon : They're gone. They're gone. They're gone - We're safe now... We're safe. We're safe. I'm here.

  [hugs her; whispers] 

  Simon : Come here.

  [River still sobbing, hugs him tightly, as if afraid to let go] 

  Mal : What the hell is this?

  Simon : [looks up, still holding a shaking River]  This is my sister.
