Mal, Jayne and Zoe shoot up some local thugs for some nice settlement people, and everyone hangs around afterward to drink wine and dance. Only, the captain imbibes a little more than he should, and they end up with an extra passenger on Serenity when they take off: the new Mrs. Reynolds -- a young, innocent lamb by the name of Saffron.

Highlights

  • Possibly the funniest of all the episodes, certainly in the top three for Best Lines.
  • Inara kisses Mal!
  • A bit more hinting about Book's unusual knowledge of Crime.
  • We learn about the Special Hell.

Quotes

JAYNE: I married me a powerful ugly creature.
MAL: How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?

MAL: You been bird-doggin' this township awhile now... folks 'round here wouldn't mind a corpse of you.

MAL: I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

MAL: Like woman, I am a mystery.

MAL: And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back!

BOOK: If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

ZOE: Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

JAYNE: It is my very favorite gun.

MAL: She has a name.
JAYNE: So does this. I call it Vera.

MAL: Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

WASH: Some people juggle geese!

MAL: Whoa! Hey! Flesh...

MAL: Whoa, good Bible.

MAL: It's been a while -- a long damn while -- since anybody but me took ahold of my plow.

MAL: Oh, I'm gonna go to the Special Hell.

WASH: Whoa, good myth.

WASH: Oh 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!

INARA: You stupid son of a... collapses

JAYNE: That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth.
Everyone pauses uncomfortably.

MAL: But she was naked! And all... articulate!

WASH: Okay! Everybody not talking about sex, in here. Everyone else, out.

JAYNE: See, Vera? Dress yourself up, you get taken out somewhere fun.

MAL: Honey, I'm home.

SAFFRON: You gonna kill me?
MAL: Can you conjure up a terribly compelling reason for me not to?
