Inara Serra
- Mal: Well, I just, I... didn't want you thinking that I was taking advantage of your friend.
- Inara Serra: She's well worth taking advantage of. I sincerely hope you did.
- Mal: So you're okay. Well, yeah, why-why wouldn't you be...
- Inara Serra: I wouldn't say I'm entirely okay. I'm a little appalled at her taste.
- Mal: You know, not wise, sneaking up on a man when he's handling his weapon.
- Inara Serra: I'm sure I've heard that said. But perhaps the dining area isn't the place for this sort of thing?
- Mal: What do you mean? Only place with a table big enough.
- Inara Serra: Of course. In that case, every well-bred petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.
- Inara Serra: How many babies have you actually delivered?
- Simon: As the primary? This would be the first. You?
- Inara Serra: My first too.
- River: Mine too.
- [after Inara agrees to help a friend of hers]
- Inara Serra: I suppose you heard most of that?
- Mal: [peeking around the shuttle entrance] Only because I was eavesdropping.
- Inara Serra: It sounds like something this crew can handle. I can't guarantee they'll handle it particularly well, but...
- Nandi: If they've got guns and brains at all...
- Inara Serra: They've got guns.
- Inara Serra: I learned something from Nandi, not just from what happened, but from her. The family she made, the strength of her love for them, it's what kept them together. When you live with that kind of strength, you get tied to it. You can't break away, and you never want to. There's something - there's something I should've done a long while ago. And I'm sorry, for both of us, that it took me this long. I'm leaving.
