Morena Baccarin credited as playing...
- Mal: [sarcastically bright] How's business?
- Inara: [just as sarcastic, with a smile] None of yours.
- Inara: So, would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways?
- Book: I brought you some supper. But, if you'd *prefer* a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire. One has lepers.
- Inara: [half smiles] I think I'll pass.
- [accepting his tray]
- Inara: But thank you for this.
- Book: I've been out of the abbey two days. I've beaten a lawman senseless. Fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.
- Inara: [softly] Shepherd...
- Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship.
- Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.
- Inara: [talking about Captain Mal Reynolds] Why are you so fascinated by him?
- Book: Because he's something of a mystery. Why are you?
- Inara: [pauses] Because so few men are.
- Inara: [to Simon] You're lost in the woods. We all are. Even the captain. The only difference is he likes it that way.
- Mal: [walks in] No, the only difference is the woods are the only place I can see a clear path.
