Quotes 

• Mal : Not if all you're gonna do is sit around here and whinge about it, no.

  Wash : What do you expect me to do, Mal?

  Mal : Whatever you have to. And if you can't do it from here, then get a suit on and go outside on the side of the boat...

  Wash : And what? Wave my arms around?

  Mal : Wave your arms around, jump up and down, divert the nav sats to the transmitter... whatever.

  Wash : Divert the... - right! Because teenage pranks are fun when you're about to die!

  Mal : It'd give the beacon a boost, wouldn't it?

  Wash : Yes, Mal, it would boost the signal, but even if some passerby did happen to receive, all it would do is muck up their navigation.

  Mal : Could be that's true.

  Wash : Damn right it's true. They'd be forced to stop and dig out our signal before they could even go anyplace... well, maybe I should do that, then!

  Mal : Maybe you should!

  Wash : Okay!

  Mal : Good!

  Wash : Fine!

  Jayne : Hey! What you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this? You'll use up all the air.

• Kaylee : Shepherd Book was just tellin' us funny stories about his life at the monastery.

  Wash : Monastic humor, I miss out on all the fun. And all the food, too, apparently!

• Mal : I thought I ordered you all off the ship. I call you back?

  Hoban 'Wash' Washburne : No, Mal, you didn't.

  Zoë Washburne : I take full responsibility, Cap'n.

  Dr. Simon Tam : The decision saved your life.

  Zoë Washburne : Won't happen again, sir.

  Mal : Good. And, thanks, I'm grateful.

  Zoë Washburne : It was my pleasure, sir.

• Wash : When your miracle gets here, you just pound this button once, it'll call back both shuttles.
