The Back-Up Plan
[X] Resources are here
(Saffron is digging through the trash)
Saffron: Where the hell is it...
(She keeps digging, then stops and throws her hands up in defeat)
Saffron: It's not here.
Inara: Looking for this?
(Saffron looks up at spots Inara perched on the wall of some nearby ruins)
(Inara points the Lassiter at her)
Inara: Wonder if it works?
(Inara pulls the trigger. Nothing happens)
Inara: Ah well. Still worth a fortune. (She raises a Lugar) Anyway this works just fine. Honey, you look horrific.
Saffron: What are you doing here?
Inara: Oh. Just my part of the job.
Saffron: What part of the job?
Inara: You know, I put on this big act and storm away in a huff, then I fly off, wait for you to doublecross Mal, beat you to the rendezvous spot and grab the loot before you can get to it. What, you didn't see it coming?
(Saffron goes to move; Inara points her Lugar at her)
Inara: Uh-uh. You know, I'm a little disappointed. Some of the crew's performances weren't quite as nuanced as they could've been. I thought they might tip the fact that we were playing you from the second Mal took you out of the crate. Oh well. Guess not.
(As she says this she sets aside the Lassiter and picks up the remote control; points it at the bin and presses the button - the lid starts to shut)
Saffron: Wait a minute, wait, you can't - (the lid slams shut) - mmmf mmfff ni ffmm do hmf!
Inara: You're not going to die, you big baby. The authorities will be here in a few hours to dig you out.
