Kaylee: Oh, look at the pretties!
Wash: What am I looking at, the girls or the clothes?
Jayne: There’s girls?
Zoe: The clothes, please.
Kaylee: Say, look at the fluffy one.
Zoe: Too much foofaraw. If I’m going to wear a dress, I’d want something with some slink.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?
Jayne: I’ll chip in.
Zoe: I can hurt you.
Firefly – Episode 4 – “Shindig”
Inara: Good afternoon, Captain.
Mal: Morning. We’re downing, and in case that Wash don’t kill us all, local time’s going to be in the a.m., 10 or so.
Inara: Yes, I saw that.
Mal: Making plans? “Atherton Wing”. He’s a regular, ain’t he?
Inara: I’ve seen him before.
Mal: Oh, I never did. Not what I pictured – young. Must be rich too, to afford your rates.
Inara: I suppose. He has engaged me for several days.
Mal: Days!? Boy must have stamina.
Inara: (smiling) He does.
Mal: Well…fine. Is he letting you out at all?
Inara: Actually, we’re attending a ball tomorrow night.
Mal: Tell me, do all the men there pay for their dates, or just the young rich ones with stamina?
Inara: Most of the women in there will not be Companions, if that’s what you’re asking. Perhaps the other men couldn’t attract one.
Mal: Hmm. It’s sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.
Inara: I don’t suppose you’d find it up to standards of your outings. More conversation and somewhat less petty theft and getting hit with pool cues. (dismissing him) I understand if you need to go prepare for that “It’s 10 in the morning” issue.
Mal: Yeah. Better go do that. ‘Cause I think this is more of an evening look.
Firefly – Episode 4 – “Shindig”
Wash: Seem to you we cleared out of Santo in a hurry?
Zoe: Seems we do that a lot. Heard tell though, we’re going to stay a while on Persephone.
Wash: Shiny.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you’d get land crazy that long in port.
Wash: Probably, but I’ve been sane a long while now, and change is good.
Mal: (entering the bridge) Well, ain’t that a joyful sight?
Wash: Gotta love a sunset.
Zoe: Starting to get familiar too, like a second home.
Mal: Persephone ain’t home. Too many people we got to avoid. Re-supply, look for work, move along. Sniff the air, we don’t kiss the dirt.
Zoe: Wasn’t planning on the dirt-kissing, sir.
Wash: Besides, I wouldn’t stand for it anyway, Captain, jealous man like me. (alarm sounds) Closing in.
Zoe: Planet’s coming up a mite fast.
Wash: That’s just cause, I’m going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.
Firefly – Episode 4 – “Shindig”
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.
