do what you want, when you want.
"A real beauty, ain't she? Yes, sir.Tell you what, you buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with ya for the rest of your life."
MAL: Well?
ZOE: You paid money for this... On purpose?
MAL: Come on, Zoe. Serious. Whaddya think?
ZOE: Honestly, sir. I think you were robbed.
MAL: Robbed? What, no. What do you mean?
ZOE: Sir, it's a piece of feiwu (junk).
MAL: Feiwu? Okay. So she won't win any beauty contests, that's true enough. But she's solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die.
ZOE: Because it's a deathtrap.
MAL: That's not... you are very much lacking in imagination.
ZOE: I imagine that's so, sir.
MAL: C'mon. You ain't even seen most of it. I'll show you the rest.Try to see past what she is, on to what she can be.
ZOE: What's that, sir?
MAL: Freedom, is what.
WASH: Oh, yeah. This is all very do-able. Shouldn't be a problem at all. A few modifications, get some real maneuverability out of this boat. You'd be surprised.
MAL: So you'll take the job, then?
WASH: Might do, might do. Think I'm startin' to get a feel here.
MAL: Good. Well, take your time. Make yourself to home. Fiddle with them dials. We'll be nearby.

ZOE: I don't like him.
MAL: What?
ZOE: Something about him bothers me.
MAL: What? What about him bothers you?
ZOE: Not sure. Just... something.
MAL: Well, your "somethin''" comes up against a list of recommendations long as my leg. Tanaka raved about the guy. Renshaw's been trying to get him on his crew for a month. And we need us a pilot.
ZOE: I understand, sir. He bothers me.
MAL: She fixed it.
KAYLEE: Well, it wasn't really broke.
MAL: Where'd you learn to do that, miss?
KAYLEE: Just do it, that's all. My daddy says I got a natural talent.
MAL: I'd say you do at that...You work for your daddy, do you?
KAYLEE: When he got work. Which lately ain't been too often.
MAL: And have you had much experience on a vessel like this?
KAYLEE: I never even been up in one before.
MAL: Wanna?
KAYLEE: You mean...?
MAL: Sure.
KAYLEE: For how long?
MAL: Long as you like. Long as you can keep her in the sky.
KAYLEE: ..You offering me a job?
BESTER: What?!
MAL: Believe I just did.
KAYLEE: I just gotta ask my folks! Don't leave without me!
INARA: Don't be ridiculous. You're going to rent this shuttle to me.
MAL: Am I?
INARA: Yes. And for one quarter less than your asking price.
MAL: That a fact?
INARA: It is.
MAL: And you figure you'll be getting this discount... why exactly?
INARA: You want me...You want me on your ship.
MAL: Do I?
INARA: Yes. Because I can bring something that your surveyor or any of the other fish you might have on line can't - a certain respectability.
MAL: Respecta --
INARA: And based on what little I've seen of your operation, I suspect that's something you could use.
MAL: Fine. Let me ask you this: if you're so respectable, why are you even here? I mean, I've heard tell of fancy ladies such as yourself shipping out with the big luxury liners and the like. But a registered Companion on a boat like this? What are you running from?
INARA: I'm not running from anything.
MAL: If it's Alliance trouble you got, you might want to consider another ship. Some on board here fought for the Independents.
INARA: The Alliance has no quarrel with me. I supported Unification.
MAL: Did ya? Well, I don't suppose you're the only whore that did.
INARA: Oh - one further addendum. That's the last time you get to call me "whore."
MAL: Absolutely. Never again.
MAL: Which one you figure tracked us?
ZOE: The ugly one, sir.
MAL: ....Could you be more specific?
MARCO: Do we look reasonable to you?
MAL: Well. Looks can be deceiving.
JAYNE: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.
MAL: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?
ZOE: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

MAL: You move on over to this side, we'll not only show you where the stuff's at -- we'll see to it you get your fair share. Not no sad "seven."
JAYNE: Private room?
MARCO: Jayne!
MAL: Your own room. Full run of the kitchen. Whole shot.
MARCO: Jayne. I ain't askin --
JAYNE: Shut up...How big a room?
SALESMAN: I tell you what, you buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with ya for the rest of your life...Son? Hey, son? You hear a word I been saying?
*tears* Probably my favourite Firefly episode, especially because we got to know how the history of the crew and how they came to be on Serenity. Its a little grainy and all but I had a lot of fun picspamming~ this, I wish I'd done the whole episode now ;). Hope you enjoyed it!
