I just don't get it. How's a man get so wrong? Cuttin' on his own face, rapin' and murdering — Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly only when I'm gettin' paid. But these Reavers... last ten years they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Eating people alive? Where's that get fun?

Mal
Jayne, how many weapons you plan on bringing? You only got the two arms.
Jayne I just get excitable as to choice — like to have my options open.
Mal
I don't plan on any shooting taking place during this job.
Jayne Well, what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar.
Mal
No grenades. [Jayne groans] No grenades!
We crashin' again?
Mal
Go talk to your husband. Is the mule prepped?
Good to go, sir. Just loading her up. [To Jayne] Are those grenades?
Jayne Cap'n doesn't want them.
We're robbing the place; we're not occupying it.
Mal
[As the Reavers are chasing them]
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Jayne How come they ain't blowing us out the air?
Mal
They wanna run us down. The up-close kill.
They want us alive when they eat us.
Jayne Boy, sure would be nice if we had some grenades, don't you think?!
Cap'n didn't make 'em fugitives.
But he coulda made 'em family! 'Steada keepin' Simon from seein' I was there. And I carried such a torch, and we coulda... Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!
Mal
[shocked]
Oh, God! I can't know that!
Jayne I could stand to hear a little more.
I thought she was getting better.
Jayne And I thought they was getting off! Didn't we have an intricate plan how they were gonna be not here anymore?
We couldn't leave them now.
Jayne No, now that she’s a killer woman, we ought be bringing her tea and dumplings.
Jayne You dumb-ass hogs, the only people she's a threat to is us on this boat.
Mal
Look, we get back to Haven in a few hours' time—
Jayne Oh, yeah. Hiding under the Shepherd's skirts, that's a manful scheme.
Mal
You wanna run this ship?
Jayne Yes!
Mal
[Thrown]
Well... you can’t.
Mal
This report is maybe twelve years old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear, because there's a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They're gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people…better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
Jayne Shepherd Book used to tell me, "If you can't do somethin' smart... do somethin' right."
Jayne Captain's right. Can't be thinking on revenge if we're gonna get through this.
Do you really think any of us are gonna get through this?
Jayne [Sounding hopeful]
...I might.
