• Wash : So... two days in a hospital. That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors?

  Simon : Hey.

  Wash : I mean, present company excluded.

  Jayne : Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

• Jayne : What are you taking this so personal for? It ain't like I ratted you out to the feds!

  Mal : Oh, but you did. You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me! But since that's a concept you can't seem to wrap your head around then you got no place here! You did it to me, Jayne, and that's a fact.

• Mal : Now, all we need are a couple of patients.

  Jayne : Her what?

  Simon : You know uh, you know how you get... scared, or, or worried or nervous when you don't want to be scared or worried or nervous; you push it to the back of your mind, you try not to think about it. Your amygdala is what lets you do that, it's like a, a filter in your brain that keeps your feelings in check... She feels *everything*, she can't not.

• [Simon prepares some bad rice] 

  River : I don't want it.

  Simon : River, you have to eat. It's good. It tastes like...

  [Simon samples rice and grimaces] 

  Simon : It's good.

  Jayne : It smells like crotch.

• Jayne Cobb : Aw, hell, if I had wanted schooling, I would have gone to school.

• Mal : You called the feds.

  Jayne : What? I got pinched!

  Mal : Which is what happens when you call the feds.

  Jayne : No, I would never do that, my hand to God, may he strike me down as I'm standing here.

  Mal : Well, you won't be standing there long.
