Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight?
Kaylee: Shows off your backside. Did you see the chandelier? It’s hovering!
Mal: What’s the point of that, I wonder?
Kaylee: Oh! Mangoes!
Mal: I mean, I see how they did it. I just ain’t getting the why.
Kaylee: These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I — how about that?
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you’re supposed to make me look respectable.
Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.
