Jayne: Boy’s going to get us killed. Let’s just do this deal and git.
Mal: His disguise ain’t half as funny as yours. Who’re you supposed to be, anyway?
Wash: You haven’t been here in years, Jayne. You really think you need that getup? No one’s going to remember you.
Mal: I think it’s possible they might.
(they come across Jayne’s statue)
Simon: Son of a bitch.

Wash: We got it. It’s not pretty, but we can steer enough to turn the hell around.
Mal: Nice work, Kaylee.
Kaylee: Not soon enough to help.
Mal: Hey. Lot easier to pull things apart than it is put ’em right. You’re still the best mechanic floatin’.
(Mal kisses the top of Kaylee’s head.)
Wash: Captain, didn’t you know kissin’ girls makes you sleepy?
Mal: Well sometimes I just can’t help myself.

Saffron: Please? Show me the stars.
Wash: Wuh duh ma huh tah duh fong kwong duh wai shung [Holy mother of god and all her wacky nephews!] do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not… married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!
Saffron: I’ve been too forward.
Wash: No! Well, yes, but I actually like that in a woman. That’s part of why Zoe and I are, as recently mentioned, married.
Saffron: I thought she didn’t seem to respect you.
Wash: Not everybody gets me and Zoe at first glance.

Saffron: Do you know the myth of Earth-that-was?
Wash: Not so much.
Saffron: That when she was born, she had no sky, and was open, inviting. And the stars would rush into her, through the skin of her, making the oceans boil with sensation. And when she could endure no more ecstasy, she puffed up her cheeks and blew out the sky.
Wash: Whoa. Good myth.

Zoe: Clearly she’s out of her mind.
Wash: Well, she’s let a sheltered life.
Zoe: Did you see the way she grabbed that glass from you?
Wash: Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to god. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.
Zoe: Of course. The man rushes in to defend her.
Wash: I’m talking about geese.
Zoe: Captain shouldn’t be babysitting a damned groupie, and he knows it.
Wash: Okay, when did this become not funny?
Zoe: When you didn’t turn around and put her ass back down on Triumph where it belongs.
Wash: Oh, hey! Now it’s even my fault? Is there anything else on your mind that I should know about? There are all kinds of twists and cul de sacs. It’s wild!

Mal: You know what, you all are makin’ a big deal. I would appreciate it if someone on this boat would not assume that I’m an evil lecherous hun dan (bastard).
Zoe: Nobody’s saying that, sir.
Wash: Yeah, we’re pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Wash: Something smells good.
Zoe: Havin’ yourself a little supper, captain?
Mal: Well, Saffron insisted on… you know, I didn’t want to make her feel… it’s damn tasty!
Wash: Is there any more where that came from?
Saffron: I didn’t think to make enough for your friends. But everything’s laid out if you’d like to cook for your husband.
Wash: (laughs uncomfortably) Isn’t she quaint? I’m just not hungry.
Zoe: So, are you enjoying your own nubile little slave girl?
Mal: She wanted to make me dinner. At least she’s not cryin’.
Wash: I might! Did she really make fresh bao? (Zoe shoots him a look) Quaint!
Zoe: Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?
