M: You could have got off with Shepard Book at Bathgate Abbey. You could have been meditating on the wonders of your rock garden by now.
J: Well, it beats just sitting.
W: It is just sitting.
S: Could you not do that while we're.... ever?
W: Two days in a hospital? Don't you just hate doctors?
S: Hey.
W: Present company excluded.
J: Let's not be excluding people. It's rude.
W: You know, it's all very sweet -- stealing from the rich, selling to the poor -- but you're talking about breaking into a highly-secure Alliance facility.
S: We'll need to procure a few items off-ship. I've made a list. Now, given my status as a fugitive, someone else will have to--
[hands shoot up]
S: We have volunteers. Good.
K: Figures. First time on the Core and what do I get to do? Dig through trash. Why couldn't send me shopping at the triplex or-- ooo! Stabilizers!
M: Patients were cynical and not responding and we couldn't bring 'em back.
S: They were cyanotic--
M: They were cyanotic and not responsive -- responsive --
S: And you were unable to...
M/Z: Resuscitate!
S: What about cortical electrodes?
J; Uh....We forgot 'em.
S: Let's try that again.
J: If I wanted schooling, I'd have gone to school.
S: For this to work, River and I will have to be dead.
J: I'm starting to like this plan.
J; Nothing buys bygones quicker than cash. Maybe I'll give him a tattoo while he's out.
Z: I don't think anyone smiles in hospitals.
M: Of course they do, it's the Core. Everyone's rich and happy here.
Fed; You're under arrest for aiding and abetting Federal fugitives.
J: You're kidding, right? Where's my rutting money?
Fed: You mean my money. For apprehending three fugitives? I expect I'll be getting it soon.
Z: Can we fly somewhere with a beach?
W: Maybe a naked beach?
M: Cut it out. Job's not done 'til we're back on Serenity.
Z: Sorry, sir. I didn't mean to enjoy the moment.
R: They took Christmas away. Came downstairs for a shiny present, they took the tree, the stockings.... Nothing left but coal.
S: Agent McGinnis, I'm certain you're working under a superior keeping close tabs on this case. I'm certain of that because important people don't do fieldwork. I'm also certain your superior wants me and my sister alive. Now, I'm not going to move from this start until one of two things happens: you answer my very simple question, or you shoot me.
McGinnis: We're transferring you to a holding center, until you can be retrieved.
S: Retrieved? By who?
Mc: People who want you alive. People not me.
J: Shee-nio high-tech Alliance crap!
I: What's going on here?
K: Oh, well, let's see: killed Simon and River, stole a bunch of medicine, and now the captain and Zoe are off springing the others got snatched by the Feds. Oh, and here they are now.
M: How was your thing?
I: As advertised -- lots of needles and cold exam tables. I heard you had some excitement.
M: Lots of running around, a little gunplay. A couple needles.
J: Next time we come to a Core world, I'm staying with the preacher.
M: Oh, you hadn't come, you wouldn't be getting your big payday.
M: You called the Feds.
J: What? I got pinched!
M: Which is what happens when you call the Feds.
M: I hear they used to keelhaul traitors back in the day. I don't have a keel to haul you on, so....
J: The money was too good -- I got stupid.
J: What are you taking this so personal for? It ain't like I ratted you out to the Feds.
M: But you did. You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me! If that's a concept that you can't seem to wrap your head around, then you got no place here. You did it to me, Jayne, and that's a fact.
J: What are you gonna tell the others?
M: About what?
J: About why I'm dead.
M: I hadn't thought about it.
J: Make something up. Don't tell them what I did.
M: Next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.
R: Is it time to go to sleep again?
Simon: No, mei mei. It's time to wake up.
