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!

(a group of rich, mean girls have been teasing Kaylee over her store-bought dress)

Murphy: Why Banning Miller. What a vision you are in your fine dress. It must have taken a dozen slaves a dozen days to get you into that getup. ‘Course your daddy tells me it takes the space of a schoolboy’s wink to get you out of it again.

(the rich girls storm off)

Murphy: (to Kaylee) Forgive my rudeness. I cannot abide useless people.

Kaylee: I’m not saying the 80-04’s hard to repair, it just ain’t worth it.

Older Farmer: It’s a fine machine, you just keep it tuned.

Kaylee: Cai bu shi. [“No way.”] The extenders ain’t braced.

Murphy: I’ve been telling him to buy the 80-10 for years.

Kaylee: Those ‘tenders snap off, don’t matter how good the engine’s cycling.

Younger Farmer: Miss Kaylee, I wonder if I could request the honor of….

Murphy: Wait a minute. Let her talk. She’s talking. Dance later.

Kaylee: By the way, the 80-10’s the same machine, they just changed the plating and hope no one noticed.

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.

Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit.

Wash: Out there is seems like it’s all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Zoe: I’d say you do at that.

Wash: Don’t fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. 

Zoe: It is not.

Wash: You’re acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now?

Zoe: Jayne slits my throat and takes over.

Wash: That’s right.

Zoe: And we can’t stop it.

Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It’s a hopeless case. I’ll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery.

Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay.

Wash: Oh, no, I’m starting to like this poetry idea now. “Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she’s all corpsified and gross…”

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.

Kaylee: The only place I seen somethin’ so nice is some of the things Inara has.

Mal: Well, we best be movin’.

Zoe: I guess she needs all that stuff, the life she leads.

Kaylee: Well, sure. Sometimes the customers buy her things. Some real rich men.

Mal: Come on! These ain’t feathers I’m toting here, ya know?

Kaylee: I like the ruffles. Inara gets to wear whatever she wants.

Mal: What are you going to do in that rig? Flounce around the engine room? Be like a sheep walking on its hind legs.

(Kaylee walks off, hurt. Zoe gives Mal a death stare and takes his bag from him.)

Zoe: See you on the ship, Captain.

(Zoe, Wash and Kaylee board the mule and leave.)

Jayne: Is she mad or something?
