Firefly Quote
[Mal and Zoe are in the empty shuttle, preparing to leave.]
Mal: Lucrative as this stuff is, I'll be glad to see the last of it. [loading the stolen medical supplies] Kind of makes us a target for—
Zoe: [checking controls and dials] Was River in here messing around? The ignition sequence is all turned about, I can't even—
Wash: [entering] I can.
Mal: Well, get it set, would you, Wash? We gotta get moving.
Wash: Here's a funny twist. No.
Mal: No, what?
Wash: No, sir.
Zoe: You changed the sequence?
Wash: Didn't want you taking off without me. In fact, didn't want you taking off at all. Thought I might take this run instead— me and the captain.
Mal: The captain who's standing right here, telling you that's not going to happen?
Wash: Well, it's a dangerous mission sir. [looking at Zoe] I can't stand the thought of something happening that might cause you two to come back with another thrilling tale of bonding and adventure. I just can't take that right now.
Mal: Okay [chuckling], um... I'm lost. Uh... I'm angry. And, I'm armed. So, if you two have something that you need to work out—
Zoe: It's all right, sir. We've dealt with Bash before. Shouldn't be a problem. [stands to leave] And I wouldn't mind sitting this one out. [stares down Wash]
Mal: Oh, this is a fine [mutters in Chinese] but I don't have time to unwind it. Wash [nodding at Wash, clearly annoyed] get her started. Zoe, ship is yours.
[Zoe leaves.]
Wash: Bye, hon. [sarcastic] We promise not to stop for beers with the fellas! [Turning to Mal,] So... are we gonna sing army songs or something?
