Mal: There’s a chance you might want to head back to the ship.
Inara: Oh, I’m all right. This is entertaining, actually.
Mal: Yeah? What’s entertaining?
Inara: I like watching the game. As with other situations, the key seems to be giving Jayne a heavy stick and standing back.
Mal: Still, might ought to clear out before too much longer. Seems there’s a thief about.
Inara: A thief?
Mal: Took this right off him. (hands Inara stolen money) Now they earned that with the sweat of their slave-trading brows.
Inara: Mal…
Mal: Aw, terrible shame. Course they won’t discover it till they go order their next round of drinks.
Wright: (in Chinese, grabbing Mal’s shoulder) Way! [“Hey!”]
Mal: Good drinker, that one.
(a fight breaks out)
Inara: (to the bartender) Lovely place, I’ll tell my friends.
