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?

• 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!

• Jayne : Tell you what I think. I figure that fella we run into did everyone on board. Killed 'em all. Then he decided to take a swim, see how fast his blood would boil out his ears.

  Wash : You're a very "up" person.

• Mal : [about a ship they found drifting]  Anybody home?

  Hoban 'Wash' Washburne : Been hailing her, but if whoever's there is as healthy as the guy we just ran over, can't imagine anyone's going to be picking up.

• Mal : Stack everything here, in plain sight. Wouldn't want it to seem like we got anything to hide. It might give them Alliance boys the wrong impression.

  Hoban 'Wash' Washburne : Or the right one.

• Mal : [on the bridge; all looking at the ship that set off the proximity alarm] 

  Mal : Bring us in a little closer.

  Wash : Get you close enough to ring the doorbell.

  Dr. Simon Tam : What is it?

  [standing in the doorway, completely out of sight; softly, as if talking to herself] 

  River Tam : It's a ghost.

  [half smiles briefly]
