Firefly

[Back in the present day, with Serenity fixed, Mal finds himself dazed in the company of his crew and passengers.]

Zoe:
Welcome back, sir.

Mal:
I go someplace?

Shepherd Book:
Very nearly.

Inara:
We thought we lost you.

Mal:
No, I've been right here.

Mal:
Wash, you okay?

Wash:
[a little buzzed from giving blood] Yeah, Mal, I'm fine.

Mal:
You got a thing in your arm.

Wash:
[smiling] Yeah.

Simon:
Try not to speak. You're heavily medicated and you lost a lot of blood.

[Mal groans]

. . .

Simon:
All right, I have to insist the Captain needs to rest.

Mal:
Yeah. Think the doc might not be wrong about that one. Just gonna need a few.... [trails off as he closes his eyes]

[Mal then jerks himself awake.]

Mal:
Y'all gonna be here when I wake up?

Book:
We'll be here.

Mal:
Good. That's good.

[As Mal falls asleep, he experiences another flashback to a used spaceship yard.]

Salesman:
Yep. Real beauty, ain't she? Yes, sir. Right smart purchase, this vessel.

[The rocket-shaped vessel that the salesman is trying to sell Mal comes into view.]

Salesman:
I tell you what. You buy this ship, treat her proper - she'll be with you for the rest of your life.

[But Mal has his attention caught by something else.]

Salesman:
Son? Hey, son!

[As we follow Mal's point of view, we see a battered old Firefly, soon to become "Serenity", sitting on the other side of the lot.]

Salesman:
You hear a word I been sayin'?
