As usual, Jane Espenson shines with some hilarious dialogue
ZOE Planet's coming up a mite fast.
WASH That's just cause I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
MAL Well, that happens, let me know.
INARA I don't suppose you'd find it up to standards of your outings. More conversation and somewhat less petty theft and getting hit with pool cues. I understand if you need to go prepare for that "It's 10 in the morning" issue.
MAL Yeah. Better go do that. 'Cause I think this is more of an evening look.
KAYLEE Oh, look at the pretties!
WASH What am I looking at, the girls or the clothes?
JAYNE There's clothes?
ZOE Too much foofaraw. If I'm going to wear a dress, I'd want something with some slink.
WASH (eagerly) You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?
JAYNE I'll chip in.
BADGER (noticeable cockney accent) Captain Reynolds. Heard you was in town. Thought we might have a bit of a sit-down.
MAL Prefer a bit of a piss-off.
BADGER I'm very sorry. Did I give you the impression I was asking?
BADGER He won't deal with me direct. He's taken an irrational dislike.
JAYNE What happened? He see your face?
MAL You backed out of a deal last time. Left us hanging.
JAYNE Hurt our feelings.
MAL Just help me look.
KAYLEE Is that him?
MAL That's the buffet table.
KAYLEE Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?
MAL Beg pardon, but would you be Warrick Harrow?
HARROW Sir Warrick Harrow. The sash.
MAL The sash.
HARROW It indicates lordship.
MAL And it's... it's doing a great job.
HARROW I know him. And I think he's a psychotic low-life.
MAL And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic low-life community.
ATHERTON (recovering from Mal's punch, angry) I accept.
MAL That's great. What?
MAL Use of a swhat?
SIMON Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword.
ZOE I think he knows which end to hold.
JAYNE Only if his attention's elsewhere. What we need's a diversion. I say Zoe gets nekkid.
WASH Nope.
JAYNE I could get nekkid.
ALL No!
JAYNE That there -- exactly the kind of diversion we could have used.
MAL See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.
