Quotes 

• Kaylee : We're taking on passengers at Persephone?

  Mal : Yeah, that's the notion. Could use a little respectability on the way to Boros. Not to mention the money.

  Jayne : Pain in the ass.

  Kaylee : No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people, they've all got stories...

  Jayne : Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please?

  Mal : I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from bein' cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct-tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

  Kaylee : [kisses Mal's cheek]  I love my captain.

• Kaylee : [sounding weak, but cheery]  Oh, don't you worry none. Doc fixed me up... pretty. He's nice.

  Mal : Don't go working too hard on that crush, mei-mei. Doc won't be with us for long.

  Kaylee : [big smile]  You're nice, too.

  Mal : [smiles]  No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

  Kaylee : He wasn't gonna let me die... He was just trying to... It's nobody's fault.

  [trying to pat his arm, which Mal then reaches for] 

  Kaylee : Okay. Just promise me you're gonna remember that.

  Mal : [holding her hand with both of his]  I'll keep it in mind.

  Kaylee : You *are* a nice man, Captain. You're always looking after us. You just gotta have faith in people.

• Simon : [after Kaylee is shot]  Can you move your feet?

  Kaylee : Are you asking me to dance?

• Kaylee : How come you don't care where you're going?

  Book : 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

• Kaylee : You're gonna come with us.

  Book : Excuse me?

  Kaylee : You like ships. You don't seem to be lookin' at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

  Book : She don't look like much.

  Kaylee : Oh, she'll fool ya.

• Kaylee : [hurries to turn off everything in the engine room; climbs up to turn off a light, room becomes pitch black]  Okay, now I can't get down.

• Kaylee : I'd sure love to find a brand new compression coil for the steamer.

  Mal : Yes, I'd like to be king of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat. Just get us some passengers. Them as can pay. All right?

  Kaylee : If the compression coil busts, we're drifting.

  Mal : Best not bust then.

• Kaylee : [petting the ship; in a whisper]  That's my girl. That's my good girl.

• Kaylee : [after being shot by Dobson, sounds disoriented]  Why did he...

  Mal : [looking at her wound]  Oh, wow. That ain't hardly a mosquito bite.

  Kaylee : Big mosquito.

• Book : I'm called Book.

  [shakes Kaylee's hand] 

  Book : Been out of the world for a spell... like to walk it a while. Maybe bring the word to them as need it told.

  Kaylee : Well, I'm Kaylee. And this here's Serenity; and she's the smoothest rid from here to Boros for anyone can pay. Can you - pay, or...

  Book : Well, I have a little cash. And uh...

  [pulls out & opens a box filled with, what we find out is, strawberries] 

  Kaylee : Ooh, *grandpa*.

  Book : [sighs]  I never married.

• Kaylee : Jayne, open the port jack control,

  [nods towards it] 

  Kaylee : cut the hydraulics.

  Jayne : [looks around]  Where the hell is it?

  Kaylee : [points]  Look! Look! Look where I'm pointing!

  Kaylee : [Jayne follows her finger to the box]  Okay. Now it's real simple.

  [Jayne opens the box, revealing a mesh of complex wiring; looking dubious] 

• Mal : Wash, you gotta give me an Ivan.

  Wash : I'll see what I can do.

  [over the intercom] 

  Wash : Kaylee, how would you feel about pullin' a Crazy Ivan?

  Kaylee : [sounds weak but positive]  Always wanted to try one.
