Simon: We’re on a ship.

River: Mid-bulk Transport. Standard radion accelerator core. Class code 03-K64–Firefly.

Mal: Well, that’s somethin’. I can’t even remember all that.

Simon: Need a weave on that?

Mal: It’s nothin’.

Simon: I expect there’s someone’s face feels differently.

Mal: Well, they tell ya, never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is on occasion hilarious.

Simon: I suppose so. So the, ah, the fight…didn’t umm, draw any, umm, any attention.

Mal: No Feds. Just an honest brawl between folks. Ain’t none of us wanted the Alliance on us, Doctor, that’s why you’re here.

Simon: I thought I was here because you needed a medic.

Mal: Well, not today.

(Mal leaves)

River: Mal… bad… in the Latin.

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.

Simon: The shot I gave you will help you sleep.

River: I slept for so long…

Simon: Just a little while. Then we’ll find a place. We’ll find a safe place.

River: I didn’t think you’d come for me.

Simon: Well, you’re a dummy.

Simon: I am very smart. I went to the best medacad in Osiris, top three percent of my class, finished my internship in eight months. “Gifted” is the term. So when I tell you that my little sister makes me look like an idiot child, I want you to understand my full meaning. River was more than gifted. She… she was a gift. Everything she did, music, math, theoretical physics — even dance — there was nothing that didn’t come as naturally to her as breathing does to us. She could be a real… brat about it, too. I mean, she used to — There was a school… a government-sponsored academy, we had never even heard of it but it had the most exciting program, the most challenging. We could have sent her anywhere, we had the money, but she wanted to go. She wanted to learn. She was fourteen. I… I got a few letters at first, and then I didn’t hear for months. Finally I got a letter that made no sense. She talked about things that never happened, jokes that we never… it was a code. It just said… “They’re hurting us. Get me out.”

Zoe: How’d you do it?

Simon: Money. And luck. For two years, I couldn’t get near her. Then I was contacted by some men, some underground movement. They said that she was in danger, that the government was… playing with her brain. If I funded them they could sneak her out in cryo, get her to Persephone, and from there I could take her… wherever.

Inara: Will she be all right?

Simon: I don’t know if she’ll be all right. I don’t know what they did to her, orwhy. I just have to keep her safe.
