Mal: My thanks Wash, nice save as always.

Wash: A pleasure.

Mal: And how are our passengers?

Kaylee: They’re fine. So, what happened? Was there a terrible brawl?

Zoe: Oddly enough, there was.

Wash: Are you gettin’ my wife into trouble?

Mal: Wha? I didn’t start it! Just wanted a quiet drink.

Zoe: Funny, sir, how you always seem to find yourself in an Alliance-friendly bar come U-day, looking for a “quiet drink.”

Mal: See, this is another sign of your tragic space dementia, all paranoid and crotchety. Breaks the heart.

‘What one is bound to do, one usually does with little acknowledged feeling; a vague desperation, no more,’ he said, taking up his stance. Yet as he did so his face assumed a cold, dangerous aspect and his body moved with the easy precision of a machine. The sand spat up from the edge of the handkerchief; the smoke lay hardly stirring; the horse was little affected by the noise, but it watched idly for the first dozen shots or so.

‘I have never known such consistently accurate weapons,’ he said aloud. ‘I wonder, can I still do Dillon’s old trick?’ He took a coin from his pocket, tossed it high, and shot it fair and square on the top of its rise, between climbing and falling.

Buffy: What do you want?

Spike: I told you. I want to stop Angel. I want to save the world.

Buffy: Okay. You do remember that you’re a vampire, right?

Spike: We like to talk big, vampires do. ‘I’m going to destroy the world.’ That’s just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You’ve got… dog racing, Manchester United. And you’ve got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It’s all right here.

“Tell me one last thing,” said Harry. “Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?”

Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry’s ears even though the bright mist was descending again, obscuring his figure.

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

Lund: Hey, you gonna drink t’the Alliance wi’ me? Six years today, the Alliance sent the browncoats running, pissing their pants. Y’know, your coat is kinda a brownish color.

Mal: It was on sale.

Lund: You didn’t toast? Y’know, I’m thinkin’ you one of them independents

Mal: And I’m thinkin’ you weren’t burdened with an overabundance of schooling. So why don’t we just ignore each other, til we go away?

Lund: The Independents were a bunch of cowardly inbred pisspots. Shoulda been killed off of every world spinnin’.

Mal: Say that to my face.

Lund: I said, you’re a coward, and a pisspot. Now what are you gonna do about it?

Mal: Nothin’. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

(Zoe decks him)

Mal: Drunks are so cute.

Stephen’s eyes gleamed as he took it and turned it slowly round and round in his hands. ‘Oh thank you, thank you, Jack,’ he cried. ‘It is perfect — the very apotheosis of a tooth.’

‘There were some longer ones, well over a fathom, but they had lost their tips, and I thought you would like to get the point, ha, ha, ha.’ It was a flash of his old idiot self, and he wheezed and chuckled for some time, his blue eyes as clear and delighted as they had been long ago: wild glee over an infinitesimal grain of merriment.

Simon: You need me to look at that?

Mal: Just a graze.

Simon: So, where do you plan on dumping us?

Mal: There’s places you might be safe. You want the truth, though, you’re probably safer on the move. And we never stop moving.

Simon: I’m confused. No wait, I — I think maybe you’re confused.

Mal: It may have become apparent to you that the ship could use a medic. You ain’t weak. I don’t know how bright you are, top three percent, but you ain’t weak and that’s not nothing. You live by my rule, you keep your sister from doing anything crazy, you could maybe find a place here. ‘Til you find a better.

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 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.

Simon: You had the Alliance on you, criminals and savages… half the people on the ship have been shot or wounded including yourself, and you’re harboring known fugitives.

Mal: We’re still flying.

Simon: That’s not much.

Mal: It’s enough.

‘I must leave you,’ said Stephen. ‘Thank you for the game.’

‘But you can’t go away just when you have won all that money,’ cried Smithers.

‘On the contrary,’ said Stephen. ‘It is the very best moment to leave.’
