I'm questionin' your sanity here.

Now, I ain't calling you out for this. It's flattering. Really. But I've seen what you're doing round here. Gotta say, Jayne's made smarter moves than this.

[Excuse you? Jayne? Really?]

Look, I don't have time to go to this other ship you're talking about. Serenity and the captain need me. Wash needs me.

[Yeah, but Wash is there, Zoë. By himself. And the ship's call the Tranquility. That's kinda close, right?]

Not even. Not by a long shot.

But... I don't think it's safe to leave Wash by himself either. Too much trouble he could get into.

[Are you... jealous? Seriously?]

Don't got a reason to be jealous. Wash'd never do anything for me to have a reason. Still, this doesn't strike me as necessarily needs to be done here.

Getting closer to a year. Just not right, going a year without seeing you.

[She lets out a long string of curses under her breath.]

Whaddya mean goin' on a year? How's that even possible?

[Even when they weren't on perfect terms, being planet-side for a job without her husband was far too long. A year was...unimaginable.]

And you're still whole? No new marks or scratches I'll have to straighten out?

Time's all tian fuhn di fu. Got folk here from Earth.

[Now he's going to have to convince her he hasn't hit his head]

Nothing... recent.

[talkingaintdoin]

Earth that was?

[That ain't the least bit funny, Hoban Wahburne.]

What else is there? Gotta be something else on top of all that.
