Firefly

[In near-present day, Wash comes in late to hear Book's dinner-table tales.]

Wash:
Monastic humor. I miss out on all the fun.

. . .

[Simon is unable to quickly convey a funny story about being a doctor]

Jayne:
[interrupting] Now, Inara - she's gotta have some funny whorin' stories, I'd wager.

Inara:
[laughing] Do I ever! Funny and sexy. [laughs] You have no idea... [suddenly serious] and you never will.

[The crew surprises Simon with a birthday cake.]

Simon:
How did… how'd you know? River, did you...?

River:
"Day" is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. [pauses] I didn't get you anything.

. . .

Kaylee:
Hope you like it. Couldn't get ahold of no flour, so it's mostly protein. In fact, it's pretty much what we just had for dinner. [everyone laughs] But I tried to make the frosting as chocolate-y tasting as possible, so.

Simon:
Thank you. I'm really, I'm, um, very, very deeply moved. Thank you.

Jayne:
Well... deeply move yourself to blow out them candles so we can try a slice.
