Zoe: If they take the ship they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order.

Jayne: Here's a little concept I've been working on - how about we shoot (Patience) first?
Wash: It is her turn.

Zoe: Sir, I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man (Wash) to tear all my clothes off.
Wash: Work, work.

Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne?
Jayne: Money wasn't good enough.
Mal: What happens when it is?
Jayne: Well, that'll be an interesting day.
Mal: Imagine it will.

Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can. How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep?
Mal: You don't know know me, son, so let me explain this to you once. If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
Simon: Are you always this sentimental?
Mal: Had a good day.
