Quotes8

  • Zoë: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killin'?
  • Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
  • Book: A government is a body of people, usually, notably ungoverned.
  • Simon: I never - never shot anyone before.
  • Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.
  • Book: Oh, my.
  • Kaylee: Oh, gosh, I - I-I knew she took female clients, I just... They look so glamorous together.
  • Jayne: [beat] I'll be in my bunk.
  • Book: I'd forgotten, you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned?
  • Simon: No... but I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.
  • Book: Did you ever read the works of Shan Yu?
  • Simon: Shan Yu the psychotic dictator?
  • Book: Yep. Fancied himself quite the warrior poet. Wrote volumes on war, torture, the limits of human endurance.
  • Simon: That's nice.
  • Zoë Washburne: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
  • Shepherd Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
  • Zoë Washburne: Jayne, get your weapon.
  • Jayne Cobb: Why? What's going on?
  • Zoë Washburne: Maybe nothing. Maybe trouble.
  • Jayne Cobb: The drop?
  • Zoë Washburne: They're late. They should have been back more than an hour ago. We go by ground. We'll take the Mule.
  • Shepherd Book: I'll go with you.
  • Zoë Washburne: No offense, Shepherd, but I sure as hell hope they don't need a preacher.
