Atherton: Inara. Inara!

Harrow: You’ve lost her lad. Be gracious.

Atherton: You set this up, whore. After I bought and paid for you. I should have uglied you up so much no one else’d want you.

Mal: See how I’m not punching him? I think I’ve grown.

Atherton: Well get ready to starve. I’ll see that you never work again.

Inara: Actually, that’s not how it works. You see, you’ve earned yourself a black mark in the client registry. No Companion is ever going to contract with you, ever again.

Harrow: You’ll have to rely on your winning personality to get women. God help you.

Harrow: He’s down. You have to finish it, lad. You have to finish it. For a man to lie beaten, and yet breathing? It makes him a coward.

Inara: It’s humiliation.

Mal: Sure, it’s humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (lightly stabs Atherton in the stomach) Guess I’m just a good man. (stabs him again) Well, I’m all right.

Mal: Don’t take his offer.

Inara: What?

Mal: Don’t do it. Because in the case it happens it means he’s the fella that killed me and I don’t like fellas that kill me, just in general. I said before I don’t have call to stop you, and that’s true, but anyways, don’t.

Mal: I thought he made it pretty clear he has no regard for you.

Inara: You did manage to push him into saying something, yes. Made a nice justification for the punch.

Mal: Well, he insulted you. I hit him. Seemed like the thing to do. Why’d this get so complicated?

Inara: Well, it’s about to get simpler. There’s a back door. Desk clerk is on alert. He’ll let us out.

Mal: Whoa, whoa, I’m not running off. I don’t know what you got in your head, but I didn’t do this to prove some kind of point to you. I thought I was defending your honor. And I never back down from a fight.

Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Mal: Well, yeah… but, I’m not backing down from this one.

Atherton: I accept.

Mal: That’s great! What?

Gentleman: There has been a challenge.

Atherton: I hope you’re prepared, Captain.

Mal: What? You all talking about a fight? That’s fine. Let’s get out of here.

Inara: It’s not a fist fight, Mal.

Gentleman: The duel will be met tomorrow morning at Cadrie Pond.

Mal: Well, why wait? Where’s that guard? He collected a whole mess of pistols.

Gentleman: If you require it, any gentleman here can give you use of a sword.

Mal: Use of a sw—what?

(Mal collides with Inara while dancing.)

Mal: It’s possible you were right, and this ain’t mykind of party.

(Atherton grabs Inara by the arm and marches her away.)

Mal: Whoa now. Watch yourself. Ain’t no need for hands on.

Atherton: Excuse me, she’s not here with you, Captain. She’s mine.

Mal: Yours? She don’t belong to nobody.

Atherton: Money changed hands, which makes her mine tonight. And no matter how you dress her up she’s still a…

(Mal decks Atherton.)

Mal: Turns out this is my kind of party!

Harrow: Whom do you represent?

Mal: “Represent” isn’t exactly the…

Harrow: Don’t waste my time.

Mal: Fellow called Badger.

Harrow: I know him. And I think he’s a psychotic low-life.

Mal: And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic low-life community.

Mal: Okay, help me find our man. He’s supposed to be old, kinda stocky, wears a red sash crossways.

Kaylee: Why does he do that?

Mal: Maybe he won the Miss Persephone Pageant. Just help me look.

Kaylee: (pointing) Is that him?

Mal: That’s the buffet table.

Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

Mal: Fine. Don’t make yourself sick.

Kaylee: Oh, xiè xiè [“thank you”], Captain.

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.

Badger: He won’t deal with me direct. He’s taken an irrational dislike.

Jayne: What happened? He see your face?

Badger: He’s a quality gent. Nose in the air like he never wun gwo pee [“smelled a fart”]. Don’t find me respectable. But you, now I figure you got a chance.

Mal: You backed out of a deal last time. Left us hanging.

Jayne: Hurt our feelings.

Mal: You recall why that took place?

Badger: Had a problem with your attitude is why. Felt you was… what’s the word?

Jayne: Pretentious?

(Mal gives Jayne a confused/surprised look)

Badger: Exactly! You think you’re better than other people.

Mal: Just the ones I’m better than.
