    • Quotes

      Inara Serra: A companion chooses her own clients. That's guild law. But physical appearance doesn't matter so terribly. You look for a compatibility of spirit... There's an energy about a person that's difficult to hide. You try to feel that...

      Mal: [walks in] And then you try to feel the energy of their credit account. It has a sort of aura...

      Inara Serra: What did I say to you about barging in to my shuttle?

      Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?

      Inara Serra: Yes, precisely. Only the exact phrase I used was "don't."

      Mal: Well you're holding my mechanic in thrall - and Kaylee, what the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

    The Train Heist
    Mal and his crew are hired by the dangerous criminal Adelai Niska to heist two packages from a train for him. He goes with Zoe and they find an Alliance troop in the train, but they succeed and Jayne takes the cargo to Serenity. However Mal and Zoe have to stay in the train and Sheriff Bourne investigates the robbery. Soon they learn that the stolen cargoes are medical supplies for the mining settlers that need them; otherwise they will die. Mal and Zoe reevaluate the heist and come up to a decision.

    "The Train Job" is a full of action episode of "Firefly". The cynical Mal proves that has heart with his final decision. The funniest moment of the show is when Crow tells that will hunt Mal down to hell. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): Not Available.
