Quotes 

• [the crew is being interrogated individually] 

  Commander Harken : You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?

  Zoë : [terse; slightly irritated tone]  Fought with a lot of people in the war.

  Commander Harken : And your husband.

  Zoë : Fight with him sometimes, too.

  Commander Harken : Is there any particular reason you don't wish to discuss your marriage?

  Zoë : Don't see that it's any of your business, is all. We're very private people.

  [in Wash's interrogation] 

  Wash : [enthusiastic; animated]  The legs!

  [chuckles] 

  Wash : Oh, yeah! I definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down! Her legs, and right where her legs meet her back. That - actually that whole area. That and - and above it.

  [in Kaylee's interrogation] 

  Kaylee : [angry; slightly defensive]  Six gerslters crammed right under every cooling drive so that you strain your primary artery function and you end up having to recycle secondary exaust through a bypass system...just so's you don't end up pumping it through the main atmofeed and asphyxiating the entire crew. Now *that's* junk!

  [back to Wash] 

  Wash : [very enthusiastically]  Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

• Jayne : [uneasy]  Oh, I ain't goin' over there with them bodies.

  [note of fear] 

  Jayne : No rutting way. Not if reavers messed with 'em.

  Zoë : [nonchalant]  Jayne - you'll scare the women.

• Zoë Washburne : Proximity alert. Must be coming up on something.

  Hoban 'Wash' Washburne : [alarmed]  Oh, my God. What can it be? We're all doomed!

  [shouts] 

  Hoban 'Wash' Washburne : Who's flying this thing!?

  Zoë Washburne : [straight faced] 

  Hoban 'Wash' Washburne : Oh right, that would be me. Uh, back to work.

  Kaylee : So I guess that makes us one man short.

  Jayne : Little Kaylee's always one man short.

  [laughs; Kaylee punches his arm lightly] 

  Jayne : Ow! Hey!

• Zoë : Sir, even on a lifeboat, you think those who escaped would find room for some of this.

  [Mal sees River looking up with fear and sadness] 

  Mal : Nobody escaped.

  Zoë : Sir?

  [they point their flashlights up] 

  Mal : Nobody.

  [a string of naked mutilated bodies is hanging by a chain from the ceiling] 

• Jayne : If there's folks on board in need of help, why ain't they beaming no distress call?

  Zoë Washburne : It's true, there's no beacon.

  Mal : Which means it's likely no one's looking to find her.

  Book : All the more reason for us to do the right thing.

  Jayne : How about you just say a prayer when we slide on by.

• Jayne : Ohhh, I ain't going over with them bodies--no ruttin' way. Not if Reavers messed with them.

  Zoë Washburne : Jayne, you'll scare the women.
