• (Richard Brooks) "You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport, yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?"

• (Richard Brooks) "We're deep in space, corner of No and Where."

• (Richard Brooks) "You ever been shot?"
• (Simon) "No."
• (Richard Brooks) "You oughta be shot. Or stabbed, lose a leg. To be a surgeon, you know? Know what kind of pain you're dealing with. They make psychiatrists get psychoanalyzed before they can get certified, but they don't make a surgeon get cut on. That seem right to you?"

• (Richard Brooks) "Where's your sister?"
• (Dr. Simon Tam) "I don't know. Who do you work for?"
• (Richard Brooks) "This is her room."
• (Dr. Simon Tam) "Yes."
• (Richard Brooks) "It's empty."
• (Dr. Simon Tam) "I know."
• (Richard Brooks) "So is it still a room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we; what's the word?"
• (Dr. Simon Tam) "I really can't help you."
• (Richard Brooks) "The plan's to take your sister; get the reward, which is substantial; "imbue", that's the word."
• (Dr. Simon Tam) "So you're a bounty hunter."
• (Richard Brooks) "No, that ain't it at all."
• (Dr. Simon Tam) "Then what are you?"
• (Richard Brooks) "I'm a bounty hunter."

• (River Tam) "He takes so much looking after --"

• (River) "You're not welcome here anymore, Early."
• (Richard Brooks) "Do you think I'm gonna leave here empty-handed?"

• (River) "Wish I didn't. You like to hurt folk."
• (Richard Brooks) "It's part of the job."

• (Richard Brooks) "All right, that's all the hide-and-seek I got time for. I know you're on this ship, little girl, so here's how this goes. You show yourself, we finish this exchange, or your brother's brains will be flying every which-a-way. You understand, I'm sort of on the clock here. It's frustrating."
• (River) "You're wrong, Early."
• (Richard Brooks) "I'm not wrong, dumpling, I will shoot your brother dead if you don't --"
• (River) "Wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself to leave. So she melted. Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did."
• (Richard Brooks) "I'm not sure I take your meaning there."
• (River) "I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship."
• (Simon) "River --"
• (River) "River's gone."
• (Richard Brooks) "Then who exactly are we talking to?"
• (River) "You're talking to "Serenity." And Early, "Serenity" is very unhappy."

• (Richard Brooks) "Doesn't anybody care that I have a finely crafted gun pointed at this boy's head?"

• (Richard Brooks) "Then are you gonna come out and stop me from doing what I don't want to? You gonna be smart here, River?"
• (Richard Brooks) "River? Serenity?"

• (Inara Serra) "Any chance that shiong-mung duh kwong-run might survive?"
• (Richard Brooks) "Air he had left, I'd say his chance'd be about one in -- a very large number."

• (Kaylee) "There's; there's nobody can help me."
• (Richard Brooks) "I'm gonna tie you up now. And you know what I'm gonna do then?"
• (Richard Brooks) "I'm gonna give you a present. Get rid of a problem you've got. And I won't touch you in any wrong fashion, nor hurt you at all, unless you make some kind of ruckus. You throw a monkey wrench into my dealings in any way, your body is forfeit. Ain't nothing but a body to me. And I can find all unseemly manner of use for it."

• (Richard Brooks) "You made the right move, darling. Best for you to go home with old Early."
• (Richard Brooks) "You think so? Some of us feel differently."

• (Simon) "I don't think my last act in this verse is gonna be betraying my sister."
• (Richard Brooks) "You're gonna help me. 'Cause every second you're with me is a chance to turn the tables, get the better of me. Maybe you'll find your moment. Maybe I'll slip. Or, you refuse to help me, I shoot your brain out, and I go upstairs and spend some time violating the little mechanic I got trussed up in the engine room. I take no pleasure in the thought, but she will die, weeping, if you cross me."
• (Simon) "You're out of your mind."
• (Richard Brooks) "That's between me and my mind. Let's start with these rooms."

• (Jayne) "Just don't wanna take a lashin' for something I ain't the cause of."
