Episode Quotes |
| |
Jayne: Gorram freak's completely off her axle.
Simon: I'm sorry about this. I don't know what she --
Jayne: Shut it. I ain't talking to you. | Mal: This is my boat, and they're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that. | Mal: Now all we need's a couple of patients.
Simon: Corpses, actually. For this to work, River and I will have to be dead.
Jayne: I'm startin' to like this plan. | Agent McGinnis: Do you have the fugitives?
Jayne: You got my reward?
Agent McGinnis: Yes. Just like we talked about.
Jayne: Then I got your fugitives.
Agent McGinnis: Good. We'll see you shortly. Congratulations. You're about to become a very rich man. | Mal: Two rights, two lefts and we're there. You see anyone, smile.
Zoe: I don't think people smile in hospitals.
Mal: 'Course they do. It's the Core, everybody's rich and happy here. Why wouldn't they smile? | Jayne: Where's my rutting money?
Agent McGinnis: You mean my money? For apprehending the three fugitives? I expect I'll be getting it soon. | Wash: How much did we get?
Mal: Enough to keep us flying.
Zoe: Can we fly somewhere with a beach?
Wash: Maybe a naked beach. | Simon: Agent McGinnis, I'm certain you're working under a superior who's keeping close tabs on this case. I'm certain of that because important people don't usually do field work. I'm also quite certain your superior wants me and my sister alive. Now, I'm not going to move from this spot until one of two things happen: you answer my very simple question, or you shoot me. | Mal: This is exactly what I didn't want. I wanted simple, I wanted in-and-out, I wanted easy money.
Zoe: Things always get a little more complicated, don't they, sir?
Mal: Once, just once, I want things to go according to the gorram plan! | Kaylee: Hey, 'Nara. How was your checkup?
Inara: Same as last year. What's going on here?
Kaylee: Well, let's see. We killed Simon and River, stole a bunch of medicine, and now the captain and Zoe are off springing the others got snatched by
the Feds. | Mal: Next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the balls to do it to my face. | Simon: Oh, I... brought some medicine. You
remember why we went to the hospital.
River: Is it time to go to sleep again?
Simon: No, mei mei. It's time to wake up. |

One of the guards had blood over his mouth when he bit Jayne. But later, when the Blue-Hand men arrive and look at them, the blood is gone. |

 |
Analysis |
| |
The little blue device the two Blue-Hand men uses had a deadly effect on anyone it encounters, but not the two Blue-Hand men themselves. It's apparent that they had build some sort of resistance against the device, probably of the implant we seen in their ears. |
