Firefly

I can't give you wealth, but, uh, we can have a little family of our own.

Mrs. Teasdale

Oh Rufus!

Firefly

All I can offer you is a Rufus over your head.

Mrs. Teasdale

Your Excellency. I really don't know what to say.

Firefly

I wouldn't know what to say either if I was in your place. [To Trentino] Maybe you can suggest something. As a matter of fact, you do suggest something. To me you suggest a baboon.

Trentino

What?!

Firefly

I'm sorry I said that. It isn't fair to the rest of the baboons.
